When the big man's touring schedule took him from K-Paul's, Brigtsen took the helm. When Brigtsen struck out on his own in 1986, he had already become one of the city's best chefs. The Restaurant Located in the cozy Riverbend section of town, Brigtsen's is comfortably unpretentious, but utterly elegant. Lacy curtains and white tablecloths hint at style, but not pomp and circumstance. The Food Authentic Louisiana ingredients like game, fish and fowl cooked Creole with a twist.
Menus change daily, but the kitchen's quality output never wavers.
