While fall is a magical time everywhere, there’s something even more special about fall in New Orleans. Maybe it has something to do with the amazing weather and fall festivals in a unique city, or maybe it’s the fact that football season has started. At our hotel restaurant, Criollo, we know for sure that it has something to do with fall flavors.
Our restaurant, Criollo, has harvested a new crop of fall menu items that reflect the tastes of the season: festive, comforting, rich, and flavorful.
Need proof? Take a peek at some of our favorite dishes available now… they taste even better than they look!
Fall Menu Spotlight at Criollo
Chargrilled Oysters
The chargrilled oyster appetizer takes full advantage of oyster season when cooler waters produce bigger, more succulent oysters.
While you can get oysters year-round, experiencing them during the fall season is an unbeatable experience. Â Topped with garlic and herb butter, the oysters are grilled with a Parmesan crust for an even more piquant, subtly smoky flavor.
Crawfish Vol Au Vent
Topped with fresh and flavorful crawfish, as well as a decadent Sherry Cream Sauce, our Crawfish Vol Au Vent is the perfect addition to any entree item you choose.
Demitasse Flight
There’s no better time for soup than the fall season. And why settle for one of our decadent soups when you can try all three in our Demitasse Flight?
With perfect portions of Turtle Soup, Seafood Gumbo, and Crawfish Bisque, you’ll get a great introduction to Creole soups.
Smoked Turkey Waldorf
This flavorful salad is sure to please everyone with its rich and unique flavors. Herb Scone, Granny Smith Apples, Roasted Walnuts, Chopped Celery, Seedless Grapes, and Smoked Turkey come together to produce a symphony of tastes perfect for the fall season.
Berkshire Pork Porterhouse
Sometimes a fresh cut of meat is the perfect start to your meal. Criollo serves the Berkshire Pork Porterhouse with potatoes, Andouille gremolata, and Hussarde sauce.
