Remoulade is the casual side of Arnaud's. It looks rather touristy from the outside. Inside, its combination of tiled floors and mirrors make for a classic New Orleans dining environment. And the oysters on the half shell, all of Arnaud's fantastic soups, and down to things like poor boys and burgers make it a better restaurant than it might seem. During the summer, they're running something that may bring in more than the usual number of locals. Since we're in shrimp season, Remoulade is serving all its shrimp dishes on a two-for-one tariff. Topping the list is, of course, the namesake dish: shrimp Arnaud, the best and most distinctive version of remoulade anywhere in New Orleans. Here are the other choices, only one of which I'd turn down (I'm no fan of shrimp Creole anywhere, but you might like it):
Fried Shrimp Basket
New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp
Boiled Shrimp
Shrimp Creole
This deal goes on through the entire summer, from 11:30 a.m. till 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
