It’s Lagasse’s first French-influenced restaurant, and he says he had “so much fun” creating a menu that drew on his early culinary training “to pay homage to some of my own mentors.” According to the Times-Picayune/New Orleans Advocate, that menu will include dishes like steak au poivre, onion soup, tarte flambée, and seafood towers for lunch and dinner, and bananas Foster pain perdue and croque madame croissants for breakfast. The full-service restaurant will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, according to a press release, and will include a fast-casual cafe called the Petite Brasserie. He’s set to open a French restaurant, his first new restaurant in New Orleans since 2016, in partnership with Caesars New Orleans later this year.Ĭalled Emeril’s Brasserie, it will be located in the landmark casino currently being transformed from Harrah’s New Orleans to Caesars New Orleans. After more than four decades as the face of Creole food for a national audience, Emeril Lagasse is trying something new.
