Lonely Planet review

Another dining establishment operated by the Brennan family, the Palace Café makes a strong first impression, with a striking interior that combines modern and classic designs. When it opened in 1990 in a former music store, the building's original tile floors and interior columns were retained and a corkscrew staircase was added. Businesspeople, conventioneers and office workers seem to have laid claim to the place.

The food follows through with modern, nonexperimental approaches to classic Creole standards like Palace potatoe pie with a pork debris (a mess of shredded meat and gravy) and gulf fish pecan. Occasional surprises, such as the herbed gnocchi with wild mushrooms starter served in a smoky chicken stock, add nice twists to the menu. Local products predominate.
