The restaurant’s location has historical significance. In the mid 1800s, military leaders in Spanish Louisiana, like Francisco Bouligny, developed streets connecting residential areas to the business district. Now known as St. Charles Avenue, it was named to honor Charles III, who was a Saint and former King of Spain. As a result, of naming an uptown-to-downtown street after a Spaniard they needed balance. Bouligny’s descendants named their north-south road Napoleon Avenue after Napoleon Bonaparte.
