Famous Historical Court of Two Sisters Restaurant | New Orleans | French Quarter

The Court of Two Sisters is a famous historical restaurant in the heart of the French Quarter in New Orleans. The two sisters, Emma and Bertha Camors, born in 1858 and 1860 respectively, belonged to a proud aristocratic Creole family. Their notions shop, which was located here, outfitted many of the city’s finest women with formal gowns, lace and perfumes imported from Paris. Marriage, reversals of fortune, widowhood-nothing could separate the sisters. The sisters even died within two months of each other in the winter of 1944. United in death as in life, the sisters lie side by side at St. Louis Cemetery #3. 613 Rue Royale had played a significant role in the history of the French Quarter and Old New Orleans. It was originally known as “Governor’s Row”, the 600 block of Rue Royale was home to five governors, two State Supreme Court Justices, and one future Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court of Two Sisters has the largest dining courtyard in the French Quarter. It’s open 7 days a week with a Daily Jazz Brunch from 9am-3pm and a Creole Dinner from 5:30pm-10pm. Reservations are recommended. We highly recommend eating in the courtyard. Thanks for joining us today. This was a perfect end to our New Orleans visit. Keith & Terri
