Review:

Capturing the essence of New Orleans like no other establishment, Napoleon House is a 200-year-old landmark that has been owned and operated by the Impastato family since 1914 and takes diners on a journey back in time to a bygone era. Also known as the Mayor Girod House or Nicolas Girod House, The Napoleon House was built in 1794 as a residence for Napoleon Bonaparte after his exile, and later became the home of the mayor of New Orleans, Nicholas Girod. In 1914, the building was transformed into an elegant restaurant and declared to be a National Historic Landmark in 1970. Exuding a quintessential New Orleans atmosphere, the award-winning restaurant serves a menu of traditional Southern fare such as jambalaya, gumbo, and red beans and rice, as well as popular bites such as muffuletta sandwiches. A full service offers an impressive list of libations and signature cocktails, including the Pimm’s Cup, and classical music sets the tone for a fine dining experience. Napoleon House is open for lunch and dinner, Monday through Sunday.
