Renowned Chef John Besh opened Luke as an homage to the old brasseries that once reigned in New Orleans. Luke's menu combines French and German Old World cooking techniques, and the space is as warm and nostalgic as the menu. Brasserie features include blackboard specials and newspaper racks, not to mention the ceiling fans. These are elaborate pulley-and-belt driven ceiling fans, an early air-conditioning system first admired by visitors in the 1880s that has been recreated for the restaurant. There is a full service bar featuring an extensive French, German and Belgian beer selection, plus three exclusive house brews and wines from the Loire, Alsace and Savoie regions, as well as the Badischerwiens of Germany. Luke's location next to the Hilton St. Charles hotel in the Central Business District makes it even easier to imagine that you've gone back to the New Orleans of yore, and puts you in the right neck of the woods to turn it into a great night out on the town.
