Reveillon @ Brigtsen's

 

Brigtsen's

More restaurants outside the French Quarter have joined the Reveillon celebration. Chef Frank Brigtsen's matchless little bistro is the best of them. His Reveillon menus have distilled some of his best ideas into a grander feast than you may ever have had there before. It's the only Reveillon menu in which every single dish is recommendable. If you go the Brigtsen's this week, wish Frank and Marna (his wife, she runs the dining room) happy birthday. Same day and year for both of them!

Four courses, $48.

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 snowflake symbol ✽ are my recommendations.
