Our Humble Beginning

Founded in 1905 by Jean Galatoire, this infamous address distinguished itself on Bourbon St. from its humble beginning. From the small village of Pardies, France, Jean Galatoire brought recipes and traditions inspired by the familial dining style of his homeland to create the menu and ambiance of the internationally-renowned restaurant. In its fifth generation, it is the Galatoire family and descendants who have carried the tradition of New Orleans’ fine dining restaurants and influenced its evolution.

The restaurant’s culinary customs and reservation statutes have been preserved with little change throughout the decades. One Friday, President Ronald Reagan placed a call to former U.S. Senator J. Bennett Johnston, who happened to be waiting in line for a table at Galatoire’s. After the President’s call ended, Senator Johnston graciously returned to his position in line.

Consistency has been the greatest asset that Galatoire’s has displayed for more than a century. That consistency, has carried through to an expansion in Baton Rouge with Galatoire's Bistro. In April 2013, Galatoire’s added a steakhouse to its family of restaurants with the opening of Galatoire's 33 Bar & Steak next door to the original Galatoire’s Restaurant on Bourbon St.

Led by Louisiana businessman John Georges, who is the majority owner of Galatoire’s, Galatoire’s Bistro and Galatoire’s 33 Bar & Steak. The three restaurants are also owned and partly operated by several descendants of the Galatoire family.
