Napoleon House, Historic restaurant in French Quarter, United States
The Napoleon House features a three-story brick structure with stucco exterior, dormered hip roof, cupola, and second-floor ironwork balconies at 500 Chartres Street.
Nicholas Girod, mayor of New Orleans, built this residence in 1794 and planned to offer it as a refuge for Napoleon Bonaparte during his exile in 1821.
The Napoleon House restaurant maintains a tradition of playing classical music that began when former owner Joe Impastato introduced opera records on his Victrola.
The establishment operates daily from 11 AM to 10 PM, serving New Orleans dishes including muffuletta sandwiches, gumbo, jambalaya, and red beans with rice.
The building became the first location in America to serve Pimm's Cup cocktails after Joe Impastato discovered the drink during his travels to England.
