Welcome to Galatoire's Restaurant
HISTORY
New Orleans families responded enthusiasticall:J when, in 1905, Jean Galatoire purchased Victor's
Restaurant, located at 209 50urbon Street in a town home constructed in 18)0, and renamed the restaurant
"Galatoire's." The familial dining experience Jean offered was inspired b:J the dining st:Jle of his homeland,
Pardies, a small village near Pau, France, an elegant, pictures9ue cit:J in the foothills of the P:Jrenees Mountains.
Jean was an energetic man who had an instinct for fine foods and pleasurable dining. After departing from
Pardies in 1874, he and his wife, Gabrielle Marchal Galatoire, first settled in Birmingham, Alabama, then in
Chicago, and, finall:J arrived in New Orleans in 1900. Shortl:J after arriving in New Orleans, Jean opened a bar
near the Louisville &- Nashville (L &- N) train station at the toot ot Canal Street.
Jean drew on the recipes and traditions of his native culture to create the menu and ambience at
Galatoire's . Most of these dishes are still served toda:J and the atmosphere is also ver:J much the same.
shortl:J atter Jean established Galatoire's his three nephews, Justin, Leon and Gabriel Galatoire also
emigrated trom France and joined him in the restaurant business. The:J purchased Galatoire's trom him in 1919
when he retired. In time, three of Justin and Leon's children, Yvonne Galatoire W:Jnne, Gabriel "Gabie" Galatoire
and Rene Galatoire joined the tamil:J business.
Today, Galatoire's Restaurant is overseen b.y chief Operating officer Melvin Rodrigue. Melvin works in
close conjunction with David Gooch (grandson of Leon) , Justin Fre:J (grandson of Justin) and Michele
Galatoire (granddaughter ot Leon) .
The entire restaurant underwent an extensive ph:Jsical renovation and restoration at the end ot 1999.
Galatoire's now accepts reservations tor the newl:J restored second floor dining rooms. In keeping with
Galatoire's historic traditions, reservations are not accepted tor the tirst floor dining room and customers are
still seated on a tirst-come tirst-served basis.
For over a centur:J, the tradition tor classic tare done simpl:J and without showmanship has been a
cornerstone ot Galatoire's reputation. Unlike man:J modern restaurants, Galatoire's cuisine is not the handiwork
ot a singular superstar chet but rather ot a tamil:J that has ste..adfastl:J and carefull:J sateguarded its traditions
of 9ualit:J in their tangible culinar:J product as well as the restaurant's intangible image and ambiance.
Consistentl:J providing this eX9uisite experience is itself an art torm that onl:J Galatoire's can maint.ain.
Gourmet Magazine stated it best in October 1996:
"More than a place to satist:J one's hunger, Galatoire's is a place where time and the outside world
pleasantl:J tade trom consciousness. It's what ever:J restaurant ought to be."
Galatoire's is the proud recipient ot numerous awards and distinctions including the DiRoNa Award tor
general restaurant excellence (2000 -present). The Nation's Restaurant News elected Galatoire's to its Hall of
Fame in 1981 - this honor has been bestowed upon ver:J tew restaurants in the United States. In 1987, Galatoire's
earned the IV:J Award of Distinction trom Restaurants.&'.JnstitutionsMagazine. In 1990, 1991, and 1992, the Conde
NasiTraveler elected Galatoire's to one ot 50 Distinguished Restauranlc;. In 2001, GourmeLMagazine placed
