Antoine’s is New Orleans’ oldest restaurant, opened in 1840 by Antoine Alciatore and still run by the same family. It’s credited with shaping the city’s cuisine with inventions including chicken Creole and oysters Rockefeller.
Beyond the dining rooms, the building is a labyrinth of secret rooms including areas belonging to Mardi Gras ‘krewes’ and a concealed doorway in the ladies’ toilet, which led to a tiny drinking den during Prohibition.
