Maylies was opened originally as a coffee shop in the Poydras Market by Madame Esparbe. In 1876, it moved to a larger building across the street, noted for the wisteria vine that coiled about its facade. It soon became a famous restaurant around the world, and remained a New Orleans favorite until its closing in 1986.
