"Originally built as a refuge for Napoleon Bonaparte, time seems to stand still at this 200+-year-old French Quarter landmark, with its peeling plaster walls, exposed beams, classic polished bar, and opera arias playing in the background. Today, it’s the essential spot in town for a Pimm’s Cup, and it’s now run by the Ralph Brennan restaurant group, so the food menu is also on point." - Eater Staff
