Flavors of the Big Easy

Located in a 19th-century French-Creole building fitted with mahogany paneling and crystal chandeliers, August is the flagship restaurant of James Beard award-winning chef John Besh. The menu seamlessly combines French classics with Besh’s southern Louisiana roots, showcasing a stunning array of oysters, crawfish, pastas crushed under the weight of sliced truffles, game meats and incredible sweets. Specialties include breaded trout Pontchartrain topped with crab, wild mushrooms and hollandaise, citrus-roasted duck breast with foie gras, and an incredible banana pudding.
