But there is perhaps no restaurant where people are actually paid to wait in that line---except Galatoire's. And that's just the beginning of this eclectic eatery.
Galatoire's has been located on the 200 block of Bourbon Street since 1905.

By all accounts, the interior of the place has hardly changed--and neither has the menu. The pages and pages of options reflect a distinct period of French continental cuisine at the turn of the century.
The variety of options, all prepared in the traditional style, are certain to bring a smile to your face---if you are lucky enough to order the right thing.

The service is also extremely classic, as waiters, after just a few times of visiting the restaurant, will start to refer to you by name and reserve a special table in your honor. Many old school families in the New Orleans carnival tradition have special areas of the restaurant dedicated just to them.
