At more than 160 years old, Antoine's is one of New Orleans' oldest restaurants. Though the home of several popular dishes, it is best-known for introducing Oysters Rockefeller to the culinary lexicon. The restaurant keeps the exact recipe a closely guarded secret, but it's safe to say that it is a combination of oysters on the half shell, parsley and parmesan cheese in a sauce of butter, herbs and breadcrumbs. An appetizer portion goes for $13.25 and can be accompanied by another unique Antoine's combination—oysters Foch, which are fried oysters on toast topped with foie gras and sauce.
