Tiana's Palace is a restaurant owned by Princess Tiana. It is located in an old sugar mill, a building which had been empty for over twenty years and was under the ownership of Fenner and Fenner Real Estate. Tiana's father was the first one to dream about opening a restaurant here, where he would serve his home-made gumbo together with his daughter Tiana. He couldn't save up for the place, though, because he had to work three jobs to make sure his family had enough money.

  • Tiana's Palace is a restaurant owned by Princess Tiana. It is located in an old sugar mill, a building which had been empty for over twenty years and was under the ownership of Fenner and Fenner Real Estate. Tiana's father was the first one to dream about opening a restaurant here, where he would serve his home-made gumbo together with his daughter Tiana. He couldn't save up for the place, though, because he had to work three jobs to make sure his family had enough money. After Tiana's father passed away, Tiana started saving up to get the restaurant as well. She worked extremely hard and much to make sure she had enough money to pay for her and her mother's expenses, as well as save for the restaurant. She mostly saved up tips from her waitressing jobs. Once Charlotte La Bouff paid a large amount of money to her for a lot of man catching advice, Tiana finally had enough and placed a bid on the old sugar mill. Fenner and Fenner then promised to bring her the papers to sign. However, the Fenner Brothers later told her she was "outbid", however, but as unlikely as it is that someone would bid on the mill after twenty years of it being untouched in the same week Tiana placed her bid, the Brothers probably made that up to prevent having to sell the mill to a woman of colour. Once Tiana returned to the Fenners' with her alligator friend, however, she was able to pay for the building and open her restaurant. With a lot of effort on her and her husband Prince Naveen's behalf, the building was transformed into a restaurant, named like Tiana's father had imagined it - Tiana's Palace. Also, Tiana, while married, was still very much in charge of the entire business. The restaurant became the crown jewel of New Orleans, even inspiring the other buildings in the neighborhood to become vibrant and reinhabited. It became revered as the favorite restaurant of visiting royalty - Naveen's parents, the King and Queen of Maldonia - and also hosted a live jazz orchestra, the Firefly Five plus Lou, led by Louis.
