500 Chartres St
New Orleans, LA 70130
A beloved landmark on the corner of Chartres and St. Louis in New Orleans' French Quarter, the Napoleon House exudes a European charm in keeping with its 200-year history. Although the city's optimistic plot to provide refuge for the exiled Napoleon Bonaparte never quite came to pass, the bar and restaurant that occupy the premises intended for him have carried on, extending a constant welcome to generations of locals and visitors, artists and musicians, and filmmakers and philosophers, in his stead. Remaining true to itself, the deeply patinated walls, uneven tile floors, and old wooden bar, hollowed by countless signature Pimm's Cups, speak to its many decades of service.

Catfish po-boy!!! The bread is fresh and soft- the gumbo is the usual. The greens salad with radish, feta and lime dressing is the best I've had. Not to sour , not to limey.

We were told this was a must-visit spot in NOLA, and let me tell you -- it did not disappoint. I was thrilled with my muffuletta. I loved that it was served slightly warm, giving the cheese a...
