I was using ans old "Great Chefs of New Orleans" cookbook last night and noticed a featured restaurant La Savoie in Metairie.
Anyone remember where this was?
The book is dated 1992.

The photo looks like Old Metairie.

I remember a place on Met .Rd/Friedrichs that was in an old 2 story house. Food was amazing, and they had a violin player. The property was torn down and is now a shopping strip. could that have been La Savoie?

La Savoie Restaurant, 94 Friedrichs Ave, Metairie is listed as a trade name in the SOS database.

Yes, I think that's it....I forgot about the place being torn down.

It's amazing how many of the restaurants in those "Great Chefs" are gone.
I used a picata recipe from La Riviera....there's also LaRuths'. Croziers (in the East), Christians, and a bunch more.

my memory scares me sometimes...clearly I still have some brain cells left. cheers!

There was another restaurant in that same location in the house on Fredrichs called Gambrille's. It was pretty good, had an aniversary dinner there, I even remember what my wife had, Lobster Thermidor. I just can't remember what year it was.
