K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen was a Cajun and Creole restaurant in the French Quarter owned by Paul Prudhomme that closed in 2020.[1][2] Prudhomme and his wife Kay Hinrichs Prudhomme opened the restaurant in 1979. The restaurant is “credited with helping put New Orleans on the culinary map” and popularizing Cajun cuisine.[3] It has also been described as one of the world’s most influential restaurants.[4]
History
The restaurant was located in a building originally built in 1864 and in 1996, underwent extensive renovations.[5]
When the restaurant opened, it had a 62 seat capacity. Eventually capacity expanded to more than 200 seats and “nightly lines of enthusiastic diners from around the world.”[6]
K-Paul’s has been described as “unpretentious from the outside but revolutionary on the inside.”[7]
