Founded in 1840, Antoine's is the oldest restaurant in New Orleans, and the oldest restaurant under single-family ownership in America. To many families in New Orleans, Antoine's is more than just a place to grab a bite for lunch or dinner. It's even more than a "fancy restaurant" that you'd go to for an important occasion. Antoine's is an institution. It's where your grandfather (or maybe your great-grandfather) took the family for your father's graduation, or when your sister got engaged. It's where people meet for a nice, relaxing lunch at the end of a rough week at the office. It's where Presidents, Princesses and Popes dine when they come to New Orleans. In short, it's Antoine's.
