New Orleans restaurants known as the Grand Dames.
Broussard's first opened its doors in 1920, when an eminent local chef, Joseph Broussard, married Rosalie Borrello, and the couple moved into the Borrello family mansion (built in 1834) at 819 Conti Street in the French Quarter, where the restaurant now sits. Up until their death one month apart from each other in 1966, the Broussard's resided in the apartment above the restaurant. The restaurant has been owned and operated by Chef Gunter Preuss and family since 1984.

While the Napoleon (main) dining room was built in 1920, the adjoining dining rooms were constructed in 1831 and originally used as stables and slave quarters for the Hermann-Grima House
, which now operates as a museum.
