The Ritz-Carlton New Orleans has re-opened after renovations and repairs in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Formerly the city’s Maison Blanche department store, the hotel offers a choice of restaurants and a beautiful courtyard in which you can relax. On the third floor of the remodeled hotel, a restaurant aptly named Mélange rather unusually has a menu that offers the greatest successes from other New Orleans restaurants, using recipes supplied by the chefs themselves. Alligator sausage from Jacques-Imo’s and pompano Napoleon (puff pastry brimming with Gulf fish, scallops and shrimp) from Broussard’s are among the dishes on offer.
