Mr. B's Bistro

Nestled in the heart of the French Quarter, Mr. B's Bistro is located at the intersection of Royal Street and Iberville, one of New Orleans' most celebrated food corners. Since 1860's, this corner has been a New Orleans landmark. In 1868, this once quiet corner was transformed into Solari's Market. New Orleanians came from all over town to visit this soda fountain and lunch counter which also specialized in merchandise not found anywhere else--like out-of-season fruits and vegetables, rare liquors, exquisite candy and imported cookies. Solari's closed it's doors for the final time in 1965, but fourteen years later, in 1979, John, Ella, Dick, Dottie and Adelaide Brennan resurrected this celebrated food corner into Mr. B's and beckoned the culinary world inside.
