Reveillon @ Maison Dupuy.

 

Bistreaux

The Maison Dupuy Hotel has a handsome spread of dining rooms in its first floor. Over the years, some great, name-chef eateries filled the place. The rest of the time, it's a more generic restaurant, never either bad nor brilliant. The currant occupant is Bistreaux, 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. It also offers an excellent bar, a beautiful courtyard, and free parking in the hotel. The Bistreaux is in full swing with the Reveillon season, with two choices in each of four courses for a $55 dinner. Let's look:

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.
