Bistreaux
The Maison Dupuy Hotel has a history of great restaurants punctuated by less ambitious places. The Bistreaux is in the latter category, the all-day cafe for the hotel. Despite that, the kitchen rises to the occasion with a well-assembled Reveillon menu with a Creole flavor.

FULL REVIEW
All the Reveillon menus can be perused here. We'll feature one every day throughout the Reveillon season, which runs in most of the Reveillon restaurants until December 31.The snowflake ratings are for the Reveillon menu, not the restaurant in general. Dishes marked with the symbol » are my recommendations.
