Tony Moran and his family were
in the business of running first-class Italian and Creole restaurants
for over fifty years. Some of the dishes they created are legendary,
and they live on at Tony Moran's now. The restaurant is itself in a
historic building: the Absinthe House, an antique bar with the
restaurant overlooking Bourbon Street from just above. The cooking uses
family recipes along with fresh local seafood to create a unique style
of Italian cookery you will find nowhere else in the world. Menu Updated January 2006.
