solari's

Our reputation as one of the culinary Meccas of the United States is based on a long history of outstanding restaurants, famous chefs, delectable recipes, and a now-closed grocery store. For many years Solari's, at the corner of Royal and Iberville in the French Quarter, was the place for locals and tourists alike to visit for some tasty souvenirs of New Orleans. Since its demise in 1961 no establishment has come close to replacing the old-time emporium. At least one can still get good food at the old Solari's site--Mr. B's, one of the fine Brennan family restaurants, opened there in 1979.
