Gautreau's Menu

Gautreau's Restaurant Review:

About the restaurant: Gautreau’s is housed in a quaint old structure located in a residential neighborhood off the traditional culinary path. Even so, it has made great strides in capturing the attention that higher profile restaurants enjoy. New Orleans’ French heritage is nicely represented in the understated bistro-like ambience.

Food & Drinks: Over the years, the kitchen has been overseen by such notable toques as Sue Zemanick. Executive chef Nick Fry's appetizers may start off with chilled crab salad with pickled quail egg or foie gras torchon with blackberry-pear compote, followed by mains of filet mignon with grilled peaches and black garlic sauce foyot or yellowtail tuna with sesame scallion rice cake. For dessert, look for the caramelized banana split with butterscotch and chocolate sauce. The wine list is selective but diverse. Cheerful service is as unaffected as the atmosphere. So, when should you consider Gautreau’s? First date, anniversary, birthday, family dinner or anytime you simply feel the need for sensory pampering.
