Creole brings an exquisite dining experience to Harlem, a touch of New Orleans with Cajun food and jazz playing in the background and an atmosphere that is seductive and yet very relaxed. The lighting is moody and balanced with genuine warmth and the food is undeniably delicious. There seems to be a fusion of sorts, where the worlds of art, world music, culture and entertainment come together with ease to create a unique sphere, where priority is given to leisure and of course, gastronomic pleasure.

The fried appetizer sampler with oysters, shrimp, catfish and calamari tend to give you a taste of everything, although you could also opt for the voodoo wings, spicy cayenne and garlic marinated chicken and then move on to the adventurous gator etouffe, alligator cooked in a tomato based wine and butter sauce with peppers and onions. End with a hot sweet potato beignet with vanilla ice cream and Hershey's chocolate.
