Jean Galatoire was born in a small village near Pau, France. Galatoire immigrated to America in 1880 where he bought an inn and a restaurant in Birmingham, Alabama.[1] In 1896 he moved to New Orleans and opened up a café.[2]

In 1905 he bought out Victor's Restaurant on Bourbon Street and reestablished it as Galatoire's.[3]
