Muriel's Jackson Square

About Muriel's Jackson Square

Muriel’s Jackson Square serves up fine Creole cooking, but what makes this spot truly unique is its history. Muriel’s opened its doors in 2001 after an extensive restoration of the building to its former mid-1800’s glory, attempting to remain faithful to the original historic design of the elegant private home. Legend has it, owner of the home, Pierre Antoine Lepardi Jourdan, still lingers in spiritual form on the property– particularly in the Séance Lounge. Staff insists that Mr. Jourdan’s spirit is a kind one, and always keeps a table reserved for him set with bread and wine.
