CELEBRATION OF RIOJA WINE
Wine Dinner celebrating wine from Rioja and Louisiana cuisine with an expertly paired five course meal in this R’evolutionary showcase.
“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 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.

You`re invited to join us for a spectacular evening in Celebration of Rioja Wine 🍇🍷
Take a culinary and wine journey with us through five courses of mouth-watering creations! You`ll enjoy tasting top wines of the Rioja region, while dining on expertly paired, elevated Cajun & Creole dishes from Executive Chef John Folse and Chef de Cuisine Chris Anderson.
The lush Rioja region is renowned for its exceptional quality and centuries-old winemaking tradition. Known for its bold reds, primarily made from Tempranillo grapes, Rioja wines offer a rich range of flavors, from fruity and fresh to deep and oaky. The region’s unique terroir, with a mix of clay, limestone, and sandy soils, provides the ideal environment for complex, well-balanced wines. With a long history of aging practices and strict quality standards, Rioja stands out as a premier wine destination.
The Spanish influence in New Orleans is not only seen in architecture but also savored in the city’s vibrant food and wine culture. Spanish wines, especially those from Rioja, complement this cuisine beautifully, as the city’s appreciation for bold, rich flavors mirrors Spain’s approach to winemaking. These influences remain central to New Orleans’ unique fusion of flavors.

The Redfish Bienville looking oh so pretty! It tastes even better 🔥
Accompanied by root vegetables, charred lemon beurre blanc and @cajuncaviar. The citrus begonia petals add a touch of vibrancy to this Lafitte’s Landing classic.
You may see mentions of *Lafitte’s Landing classic* across our menu. These dishes are modern takes on original dishes served at @chefjohnfolse very first restaurant, Lafitte’s Landing.
Formerly located in Donaldsonville, La., at the foot of the Sunshine Bridge, the Cajun eatery elevated Louisiana indigenous cuisine. Chef Folse opened the doors in 1978, and sadly closed in 1999 after a fire destroyed the property. Throughout the 80s, he brought “a taste of Louisiana” to Japan, Beijing, Hong Kong. Chef Folse took the honor of being the first non-Italian chef to create the Vatican State Dinner in Rome, in 1989. Most significantly, opening “Lafitte’s Landing East” in Moscow during the Presidential Summit between Ronald Regan and Mikhail Gorbachev.
Our menu today reflects Chef Folse’s humble beginnings, and honors the bounty of Louisiana’s Gulf, swamps and bayous.

Introducing another fall menu star, our Creole Cream Cheese Cheesecake--served with fig jam, rosemary graham streusel, fresh cut figs, burnt honey ganache and rosemary Chantilly.
This deconstructed dessert highlights fresh, locally picked figs and the original Creole Cream Cheese.
Creole cream cheese has gone by many names. In "Cooking in Old Créole Days" (1904), Célestine Eustis and Leonie Penin referred to it as "fromage à la crème." In Acadiana, it was known as "caillé gouté," a term that hints at its curdled texture and sweet-sour flavor. The word “Creole” was added in the early 20th century, reflecting the influence of French, Spanish, and African cultures on Louisiana’s culinary heritage
Chef John Folse traces Creole cream cheese to early French and German settlers, who adapted their farmhouse cheese-making skills to the Louisiana climate. Inspired by techniques for Neufchâtel cheese, these settlers created a creamier version using local resources and adapting to the region`s intense summer heat.
By the late twentieth century, Creole cream cheese nearly vanished due to regional dairy consolidation and milk restrictions. In 1999, Poppy Tooker nominated it for the “Ark of Taste,” securing its legacy as Louisiana’s first entry on the endangered foods list. Thanks to efforts by Tooker, Mauthe’s Dairy, Chef Folse, and grocers like Dorignac’s, Creole cream cheese has remained available, with many regional chefs further popularizing it through cookbooks, shows, and online recipes.
Make your reservation through @resy to indulge in this creamy creation. Dinner service begins at 5 pm, we look forward to welcoming you in!

Let our Lobster Ravioli brighten up your usual Tuesday 🔥
Lobster Ravioli-- house-made ravioli, filled with lobster, chives, cream cheese and parmesan, served in a Calabrian chili butter sauce, finished with lemon zest and Calabrian foam 🌶
Fun Fact: The Calabrian chili comes from Calabria, a region of southwest Italy, situated between Sicily and Rome. At the turn of the 20th century, nearly 300,000 Sicilian, Apulian and Calabrian immigrants arrived at the Port of New Orleans to escape economic and political turmoil. The Italian influence is deeply rooted in New Orleans culture.
Take one bite and taste the fruity, smoky flavors of Southern Italy. Reserve with us through @resy at #linkinbio ⚜

A key part of our mural inside the Storyville Parlor is the handwritten recipe for turtle soup. Our Creole Snapping Turtle Soup is a guest favorite, but do you know the history behind this classic New Orleans dish?
Deeply rooted in the culinary traditions of New Orleans and Louisiana, this soup dates back to the 18th century. It reflects the region`s rich cultural tapestry, blending French, Spanish, and African influences.
Originally served as a luxurious delicacy at grand banquets and fine dining establishments, it showcased the local abundance of turtle meat from Louisiana`s bayous and swamps. Today, turtle soup remains a cherished part of Louisiana`s gastronomic heritage, symbolizing the unique and flavorful history of Cajun and Creole cuisine. Today, turtle soup remains an iconic dish, served in both high-end French Quarter restaurants and casual Cajun eateries.
Our Executive Chef John Folse shares this anecdote 👇
"Creole Turtle Soup is a great example of the melting pot of Louisiana, where several nations each contributed to the special taste of New Orleans," said Folse. “Turtle Soup originated in England as a clear broth with the essence of the meat to create a bouillon. When this bouillon was brought to Louisiana during the 1700s, the French added the dark brown roux. The Spanish added spices – the onions, celery and bell peppers. The Indians added the wild sassafras. Eventually this great soup became more like a stew where it emerged from the French kitchen pots in New Orleans.”
Served with hard boiled quail eggs, and topped with madeira tableside, this dish is certainly one to scratch off your New Orleans Food bucket list ✅
