The reveillon dinner was traditionally a lavish feast that Creole families would enjoy on Christmas Eve Night, after returning home from Midnight Mass. A century or so afterwards, restaurants decided to get in on the fun! Lucky for all of us, these days you can enjoy a reveillon dinner practically every night of the month of December, when New Orleans chefs prepare their finest fares all for a prix-fixe menu. A multi-course meal that won't use up all of your Christmas shopping budget? That could be the best Christmas gift of the year!
