This year there are nine participating restaurants: Criollo, Saffron, Gabrielle’s, Rosedale, Ralph’s on the Park, Gautreau’s, Briquette, Audubon Clubhouse by Dickie Brennan & Co. and Zasu. Each dinner is chef-crafted and perfectly paired with the evening’s wines.
Running from May through July 2026, this celebrated culinary event invites guests to explore a diverse range of cuisines, each thoughtfully paired with exceptional wines.
From Stuffed Creole Tomato and Sous Vide Lobster Tail with Truffle Oil to Cracker-Crusted Rabbit Tenderloin, Lamb Striploin with Mint Chimichurri, and Louisiana Crawfish and Sweet Pea Risotto, each menu showcases the creativity and flavor that define New Orleans dining at its finest.
Each dinner is uniquely crafted by the host chef, with every course thoughtfully designed to complement the wines served that evening. Some dinners have already SOLD OUT!
