Palace Cafe
For those of us who remember Christmas as being synonymous with shopping on Canal Street, and having lunch in one of the big department store restaurants, there's not much to jog our memories. The Palace Cafe, with its big windows taking in many blocks of our streetcar-traversed main street, does the trick. Their four-course Reveillon menu is the best one from the Palace Cafe in years. The recent renovation sparkles anew, too.
Four courses, from $65.

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.
