Perched on the corner of Chartres and St. Louis streets in New Orleans' French Quarter, the Napoleon House Restaurant is a cherished culinary landmark that exudes a European charm in keeping with the building’s 200+ years of history. Although a legendary plot to provide refuge here for the exiled Napoleon Bonaparte never came to pass, the Napoleon House’s bar and dining room have extended a constant welcome to generations of locals, tourist, artists, musicians, filmmakers, philosophers – and anyone who loves authentic New Orleans food. You can learn more about Napoleon House at their website and follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
