Modern, Imaginative Reinterpretations of Classic Cajun and Creole Cuisine

 

“Since the 1970s, I have worked in the food and beverage industry, starting my career in earnest at the Prince Murat Inn in Baton Rouge. Shortly thereafter, I opened The Rathskeller on Third Street in the same city, and discovered my entrepreneurial spirit. My world exploded! I opened Lafitte’s Landing Restaurant – on a wish and a prayer – in 1978 at the foot of the Sunshine Bridge in Donaldsonville, LA. As I renovated the old home, local legend intimated that it had been the residence of privateer Jean Lafitte, thus the restaurant’s name. In 1983, I opened A Taste of Louisiana restaurants throughout the world, introducing Cajun and Creole cuisine from Japan to Beijing, Hong Kong to Seoul, Bogota to Taiwan, and Rome to Moscow. In my fifty-year culinary odyssey around the globe, nuisance of flavors influenced my palate and crept into my culinary melting pot. Restaurant R’evolution is the epitome of diverse tastes and flavors; the Holy Grail of dining experiences; my magnum opus. Your overture begins.”

 

– Chef John Folse

From contemporary twists to vintage cocktails

Restaurant R’evolution will feature chef-driven, seasonal cocktails inspired by Pre-Prohibition-era libations. The bar will focus on classic, “gilded age” cocktails, reimagined through a modern lens and emphasizing fresh ingredients.

Join us next Tuesday for the 22nd Annual Got Gumbo Cook-Off with @unitedwaysela 👏 We`ve been participating for years.

The United Way of Southeast Louisiana has been improving quality of life in the community for decades.

This year, Chef de Cuisine Chris Anderson and his team are bringing a Swamp Gumbo, made with alligator and rattlesnake 🐍🐊 Come out on Tuesday, March 19, at @royalsonestano and try it for yourself, because it`s the only place you`ll be able to try this exotic gumbo 🔥🍲

Our bespoke murals inside the Storyville Parlor elevate your dining experience, courtesy of muralist @grahamemenage 🎨 Each one hand painted to tell the unique story of Louisiana cuisine.

Beginning with the founding of New Orleans in 1718 by Jean Baptiste Le Moyne de Beinville, the murals immerse guests into the story of Louisiana’s rich culinary and cultural past. From Acadians (Cajuns) settling on Louisiana’s bayous, to the birth of The German Coast (River Parishes) and andouille sausage, then the growth of the New Orleans as a port city and the rise of the banana trade.

If not for the seven unique cultures—Native Americans, French, Spanish, West African, German, English and Italian—that have influenced our city and state, New Orleans culture and cuisine would not be where it is today. We honor each heritage through these murals, and through our menu, to remind our guests of New Orleans’ culinary beginnings.

Meet our Cast Iron Foie Gras 🤩

This appetizer a guest favorite! We sear the foie gras in a hot cast iron pan until charred on the outside, and warm, soft and buttery on the inside. Great for spreading onto our house-made brioche beignet with a touch of our apple butter and ham! All the elements certainly bring the dish together for a savory and sweet bite 👏

The colors and flavors in our BBQ Gulf Shrimp & Blue Corn Grits always have us in awe 🦐

This meal certainly pays tribute to the original BBQ shrimp at the landmark Creole Italian restaurant @pascals.manale, but there`s a twist!

Our very own @chefjohnfolse receives whole blue corn grain from a local seed company, and then he mills the grain himself on-site at his @whiteoakestateandgardens in Baton Rouge. These grits have a robust, earthy flavor, but they`re buttery and creamy just like traditional New Orleans shrimp & grits should be ⚜️

Come see us for dinner tonight! Link in bio for reservations with @opentable 🔗
