500 Chartres Street, New Orleans, LA - (504) 524-9752
The toasted muffuletta is a pleasure to tear into. The olive salad here is mellow, speaking more of celery than olives. Add to that the melted cheese and crunch of the toasted loaf and the effect is totally different from that of a Central Grocery muff. The menu also includes a variety of "poor boys" (usually known around town as po-boys), and a few local favorites like red beans and rice and gumbo.

The house drink here is the Pimms Cup, made with a spirit called Pimms No 1 Cup, combined with lemonade, 7 Up, and a cucumber garnish.  It's a supremely refreshing summer tonic reminiscent in taste and appearance to iced tea, probably most closely associated with Wimbledon.

What at first appears to be a lime wedge really is a slice of cucumber.

Inside Napoleon House is a dark, historic pub.  In the back is a very pleasant courtyard.  The restaurant/bar is extremely popular with visitors to New Orleans.
