Bananas Foster Bread Pudding Tray

The banana import business was one of the foundations of a young New Orleans economy in the late 1800s. In the 1950’s, Brennan’s Restaurant in the French Quarter created the famous Bananas Foster dessert as a way to utilize an over abundance of the popular fruit. Today, Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse pays homage to the original with their signature Bananas Foster Bread Pudding. Leidenheimer French bread is soaked in cream, eggs, sugar, bananas, and spices, and it’s served warm topped with Banana Rum Caramel Sauce. Add on some vanilla ice cream to make it extra-special!

The Brennan family has shaped New Orleans’ culinary landscape for decades, and few local restaurant owners are more renowned than fourth-generation restaurateur Dickie Brennan. Brennan operates some of the city’s most beloved restaurants, including Palace Café, Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse, and Pascal’s Manale. Each of Brennan’s restaurants showcases the rich flavors of Creole and Cajun cuisine, emphasizing fresh Gulf seafood, premium steaks, and classic New Orleans dishes. With a dedication to hospitality and authenticity, Dickie Brennan & Co. has played a pivotal role in preserving and evolving the city’s dining culture, making it a cornerstone of the French Quarter’s world-renowned food scene.
