Local Gourmet Cuisine at Ralph’s on the Park Restaurant in New Orleans
TRAVEL TALE – FINE DINING IN NEW ORLEANS
Local Gourmet Cuisine at Ralph’s on the Park Restaurant in New Orleans
By Jeannette and Dan Dudek
While planning our getaway to New Orleans we decided to find an upscale restaurant that specialized in serving local gourmet cuisine, one outside the touristy French Quarter. After some basic investigation we quickly had a short list of about a dozen fine restaurants. Our criteria for selecting the one for our special dining experience specified that the restaurant had to have consistent rave reviews, serve unique dishes based on local cuisine, be housed in a historic building and be within a 10-minute drive of the French Quarter. Ralph’s on the Park clearly stood out as the restaurant we had been seeking.
