Arnaud’s

Arnaud Cazenave, a French wine dealer, committed to serving top-notch Creole food when he built the opulent New Orleans eatery that bears his name in 1918. Archie and Jane Casbarian bought Arnaud's in 1978, sixty years later. Casbarian revitalized the food while restoring the property.

Arnaud's is exceptional for a number of reasons. The first is its enormous size, with 19 dining rooms covering almost a whole block in the French Quarter. The restaurant owner and founder's daughter, Germaine Casanave Wells, also has a museum on the property of Arnaud's that is devoted to her collection of exquisite, vintage Mardi Gras ball costumes. Finally, Shrimp Arnaud or Remoulade was created at Arnaud's. In New Orleans, you may find remoulade sauce in tiny cafes, fancy restaurants, and even in people's homes.

In the present, Katy and Archie Casbarian, together with their mother Jane, are the fourth generation of proprietors of Arnaud's Restaurant. They are still dedicated to upholding the customs that Arnaud Cazenave founded. Arnaud's serves traditional Creole cuisine and first-rate service in exquisitely restored turn-of-the-century dining rooms in the center of the French Quarter, just steps off Bourbon Street.
