- Comments: Turtle soup is a great delicacy in Louisiana. The flavor of the turtle meat is both delicate and intense; there are supposedly seven distinct flavors of meat within the turtle. Commander's Palace Restaurant, in New Orleans' Garden District, is famous for its turtle soup - it's a dark, rich, thick, stew-type dish, filling sufficient to be a meal in itself. More often, though, it's the first bookend of a great meal which's finished by a fantastic dessert.
