Step into over 200 years of New Orleans history inside this French Quarter icon. Housed in a building originally built in 1797—famously offered as refuge to Napoleon Bonaparte—the atmosphere retains antique charm with classical music playing over the bar and a relaxed, timeless feel.

Sip the house‑signature Pimm’s Cup, believed to have been introduced here first in America, and savor a warm muffuletta made with house‑made olive salad—a staple since the restaurant’s origins.

Open daily from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m., walk‑ins are welcome and reservations are not required. Located at 500 Chartres Street, this spot offers the perfect blend of New Orleans flavor, heritage, and laid‑back charm.

Whether you’re after a leisurely lunch, a relaxed drink, or a quiet corner for people‑watching in the Quarter, the Napoleon House delivers an experience both authentic and memorable.
