A swanky restaurant within a popular historic hotel in the French Quarter has just undergone a major renovation with a very tight turnaround. Landis is excited to have delivered the renovation of Restaurant R’evolution in Q4 2023!
Having completed its original construction in 2012, it was an honor to work with these partners again and update this beautiful space where Chef John Folse offers “the epitome of diverse tastes and flavors; the Holy Grail of dining experiences.”
The Royal Sonesta Hotel, located in the heart of the French Quarter, retained Landis to construct a new fine dining restaurant within its existing historic structure. The magnificent 6,000 square foot project was completed in Spring 2012, consisting of seven total dining rooms separated by custom-made pocket doors that incorporate the rich history and cultures of those that have contributed to Louisiana’s culinary melting pot. Additionally, each dining area is separated by custom-made pocket doors.Patrons enter the restaurant through the Bar R’evolution, a sleekly-designed oak-paneled bar that resembles a French Quarter Carriageway. As diners proceed through the restaurant, they’re treated to a different component of a typical New Orleans Creole mansion depicted in each unique room. High-end finishes include pecky cypress ceiling and bar top, custom-made imported carpeting, a wood and glass wine cellar that houses 10,000 bottles of wine, cherrywood butcher block, faux-finished crown molding, and hand-painted murals throughout. Restaurant R’evolution is a true staple for both locals and visitors alike.
