"Incredibly rich and impossibly indulgent, this bread pudding from the Palace Cafe in New Orleans delivers a double dose of chocolate--a triple dose if you garnish it with bittersweet chocolate shavings."

Andrew Zimmern

"Palace Café serves its world-famous bananas Foster with all the theatrics of a Mardi Gras parade."

Scott Gold

"Seemingly every New Orleans restaurant has this one on their dessert menu, but the white chocolate-stuffed version at the Palace Cafe (topped with a gooey white chocolate ganache) is clearly the city’s winner."

Tom Fitzmorris

"The inventors of the much-imitated white chocolate bread pudding make one that makes your eyes cross with its richness."

Laura Siciliano-Rosen

"The white chocolate bread pudding at Palace Café, at the edge of the French Quarter, gets accolades."

Matt Long

"If you’re at the Palace Café though it’s hard to pass up their famous white chocolate bread pudding or the Bananas Foster – two of their most famous desserts."

Jessie Oleson Moore

"I think I've pretty much figured out the secrets behind the bread pudding success in New Orleans: they basically double the butter, cream, and eggs, and add booze besides. And the results are stellar."

Emily Smith

"In addition to white chocolate chunks baked inside the bread pudding itself, the Palace Café kitchen takes it up a notch by covering the whole slice with warm white chocolate ganache and shaved dark chocolate."

Steve McCormack

"Here, we tried our first ever Turtle Soup au Sherry as an appetizer, and it was delicious!"

Sherry Brubaker

"Their turtle soup is an absolute must try!"
