Viator VIP: Preservation Hall Jazz Club and Dinner at Restaurant R’evolution

Savor a gourmet dinner at a 5-star New Orleans restaurant before taking your front-row seat at a world-class jazz club with this Viator VIP package. Enjoy a private tour of Restaurant R'evolution and special seating for your 4-course meal blending traditional and contemporary New Orleans culinary influences. Then walk over to famous Preservation Hall to find your reserved seat. Don't miss this luxury New Orleans experience -- it's a Viator exclusive that can't be booked anywhere else!

Begin your luxurious evening out in New Orleans at Restaurant R'evolution in the French Quarter, where award-winning chefs John Folse and Rick Tramonto create modern takes on traditional Cajun and Creole dishes. Go on an exclusive private tour of the restaurant, which has five dining rooms combining architectural details from old French Quarter homes with contemporary touches. See the impressive collection of artwork and culinary antiques; tour the kitchen with the chef; and examine the wine room with the sommelier.

For dinner, you will be seated at a special table overlooking the kitchen and rotisserie oven. The food at Restaurant R'evolution fuses classic Louisiana ingredients such as Gulf shrimp and oysters, andouille sausage and catfish with lesser-known local favorites including alligator, crawfish, kumquats and sassafras. See the Sample Menu below for seasonal dishes. Complete your gourmet experience with wine from the impressive list of selections (if option selected). The knowledgeable waitstaff and tableside service make it easy to learn more about the history of the various dishes in your meal.

After dinner, stroll to nearby Preservation Hall, where you'll be ushered to your exclusive front-row seat. This historic venue – located in the French Quarter just blocks from the Mississippi River – was founded in 1961 as a showplace for New Orleans jazz. Listen to tunes played by both veteran musicians and up-and-coming performers during a 45-minute concert. This night of top-notch tastes and sweet sounds -- available only through this VIP package -- wraps up at Preservation Hall close to midnight.
