We went to Napoleon House to get the best versions of classic New Orleans dishes and it did not disappoint. The first time we went we got the Muffuletta, chicken & Andouille Gumbo and the charcuterie board. All were excellent and the board had a delicious spread of different foods, all were exceptional. The bread on the Muffuletta was not too thick and the sauce from the gumbo was very tasty. The second time we went was to get the Creole Jambalaya which was very good. The fresh fruit was also fresh and excellent, as was the Sazerac cocktail. On our second visit we were in the courtyard at the back which we liked the atmosphere more, it was a classic New Orleans vibe. Our server Adelle was nice and attentive , even with the place quite busy, it was not too loud and the service was great.

We had a fantastic experience at Napoleon house. The meal was absolutely delicious and we were thrilled to try a muffaletta without having to order an entire sandwich they offer a quarter portion which was perfect. Everything we tried was flavorful and well prepared. The staff was super friendly and welcoming adding to the charm of the visit. The building itself is steeped in history and reading about it while dining made the experience even more special. There was about a 35 minute wait but it was completely worth it.!

An exceptional experience at Restaurant Napoléon! Everything was absolutely delicious. We had the Mufuletta and the chicken & andouille gumbo, served with jambalaya and a potato salad, every single dish was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The quality–price ratio is excellent, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere is simply idyllic. We truly loved our meal and the whole experience. We recommend it

Great food and atmosphere. The muffaletta is an absolute must and sooooooo good!! The bread is so amazing! Cute little place with lots of seating options. We sat in the “outdoor” court area and it was perfect. Try a Pimm’s too… strawberry was so good! Highly recommend when in NOLA!

The ambience is great! The food is nice, and their signature cocktails were pretty good. Famous for the Pimm’s cup. I tried their Pimm’s flight which gives you a taste of all three of their signature cocktails and they did not disappoint. The service was pretty good at the bar. This does close early so have an early dinner here before you do that bar crawl :)…. The only thing is their menu is limited with almost no vegeterian options, so if you are not a meat eater. Just go for the drinks!!

A local reccomended this place. We preordered a muffuletta and some boudin to eat at the airport. We got it to compare to Central grocery. This one was warm and not cold like central. It was very large and a couple dollars less gar than Central. The boudin was very good and not spicy at all. It was very busy and took a little bit to get our order from the bartender. We preferred this sandwich over Central Grocery. Portions are large and plenty of 2 people.

There was a long line to get in but it only took around 5 mins. We ordered the Muffuletta, Chicken and Andouille Gumbo, Jambalya and Shrimp Po Boy… everything was delicious. Very quick and so so tasty

Great sandwiches. I had the famous New Orleans muffaletta with crisps. My husband had the chicken sandwich. Reasonable prices. American portion sizes are huge so it was very good how you could order a full size, half size or quarter. Housed in a very old building which has kept its original charm. A great place to visit. It’s very popular and people were always arriving. Staff were great. Food fantastic. I loved it here.
