THE MUFFULETTA
A Napoleon House Signature
The Muffuletta, a quintessential New Orleans sandwich and Napoleon House signature, a hearty sandwich of cured meats and cheese, slathered with a tangy olive salad dressing piled onto a sesame-crusted Italian loaf. What sets the Napoleon House muffuletta apart is the meticulous preparation(everything made from scratch in house) and the additional step of warming, which intensifies the flavors for a uniquely delicious experience!
THE PIMM'S CUP
A Napoleon House Original
Uncle Joe Impastato, the visionary founder of Napoleon House, had a discerning palate that leaned away from potent alcoholic beverages. Acquainted with Pimm's Cup during his travels in England—a refreshing, low-alcohol libation perfect for summer—he introduced it to Napoleon House. As a trailblazer, Napoleon House proudly became the first establishment in America to offer Pimm's Cups, surpassing global sales records, second only to the historic London bar that birthed this iconic drink.

"We stumbled upon this place while wandering around the French Quarter. It looked like the bar they filmed the Haunted Mansion in - we asked and it was! Keith was behind the bar and took such great care of us we came back the next night. The history of the building is fascinating, the food was delicious. We cant wait to come back on our next trip!"

"The food was amazing and delicious. The Boudin Sausage appetizer is amazing and I seriously want to take a bath in the Steen's Mustard that it comes with. The alligator po boy is worth killing for. And the chocolate cake is worth dying for. The jambalaya and red beans and rice made excellent dishes to split."

"This is one of my favorite NOLA quarter spots. The authentic ambience is lovely, the food -- muffulettas are their specialty -- is great, service is friendly & efficient. They are open for lunch too. Try a Pimms cup and top it all off with their bread pudding!"

"Best sandwiches and at amazing prices in the French quarter. Theres a ton of history here and the chef came out to tell us about how the building used to be an import market and was owned by the first elected mayor of New Orleans. Try the muffuletta, and enjoy the walk through New Orleans history."
