Gazebo Cafe

Wonderful, attentive and friendly service by Jamie. Ordered Long Island ice tea and crab balls. The latter is not on their online menu but very good. I was drawn in by their Wednesday afternoon band and met Roy, cool guitarist. Had a great time.

I'd give this place more stars if I could. Huge shout out to Anthony. He did such a great job of taking care of my wife and myself. He also brought a dog water bowl out for our dog. He is amazing and so friendly. We each ordered a different po'boy. Both where so good and hit the spot. The daiquiri was outstanding. It was so thick and good. Would absolutely come back here.

I have passed this establishment many times during previous trips to New Orleans! My friend wanted to rest as we had been walking around for about 5,000 steps in the area! We stopped here because the band was playing and we needed a refreshing drink! My friend got the Rum Runner and she enjoyed and I shared the drink with/her! The service was adequate to be a busy outdoor cafe!

This place was a great lunch spot. We walked right past the line at several other spots and ended up walking right up to an empty table here. I was hesitant about that but once we got the food I couldn’t believe how not crowded the place was. Everything here is made well and is for sure that New Orleans flavor you’re looking for. Don’t skip this place when you’re in the French Quarter

In the heart of New Orleans, where the spirit of the city intertwines with its flavors, the Gazebo Cafe beckons like a siren's call to the weary traveler and the curious local alike. Nestled amidst the vibrant bustle of the French Market, it stands as a testament to the enduring soul of this culinary mecca. As I stepped into its open embrace, I was greeted not only by the sultry strains of live jazz but also by the promise of a quintessential New Orleans afternoon. The ambiance, a melange of market buzz and musical melodies, set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. In this haven of hospitality, the fare is as genuine as the smiles that adorn the faces of both diners and staff. From seafood po-boys to crawfish delights, each dish is a love letter to the rich tapestry of flavors that define this city's gastronomic landscape. But it was the Jambalaya that stole the show – a symphony of spice and sustenance that danced upon the palate with the grace of a seasoned performer. With each forkful, I was transported to the bayous and back alleys of Louisiana, where every ingredient tells a story of tradition and triumph. And what is a meal without its accompaniment? The live music, a testament to the city's musical heritage, served as the perfect backdrop to my culinary journey. As the band's melodies filled the air, I couldn't help but feel that I was partaking in a ritual as old as time itself – a communion of food, music, and soul. In the end, as the rain threatened to dampen the festivities, I couldn't help but linger a little while longer, savoring every last note and morsel. For in the Gazebo Cafe, time stands still, and every moment is a celebration of life, love, and the pursuit of culinary perfection.

Our favorite French Quarter restaurant! The food is always great and so are the margaritas! Live music and overall a great family atmosphere! The Sampler and the appetizer sampler are some of our faves! Also love their muffulettas and the chicken wings!

**Gazebo Café Review** My visit to the Gazebo Café near the French Quarter was an absolutely delightful experience. This charming café perfectly captures the lively spirit of New Orleans, offering great food, refreshing drinks, and a vibrant atmosphere enhanced by live music. **The Ambiance:** The Gazebo Café is situated in a prime location, providing a lovely outdoor setting that’s perfect for soaking in the ambiance of the French Quarter.

The music adds an incredible layer of enjoyment to the dining experience, creating a festive and joyous atmosphere that’s hard to beat. **The Food and Drinks:** The menu at Gazebo Café offers a great selection of classic New Orleans dishes and refreshing beverages. The Po’ Boys were packed with flavor, and the Crawfish Étouffée was rich and satisfying.

They were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations, ensuring that every guest felt welcomed and well cared for. **Overall Experience:** The Gazebo Café offers an awesome experience that combines delicious food, refreshing drinks, and fantastic live music in a beautiful setting. It’s a must-visit spot for anyone exploring the French Quarter and looking to enjoy the vibrant culture of New Orleans. Highly recommended for a memorable and enjoyable dining experience.

We did not try the food and the place was really empty on a Tuesday but it looks nice, good vibes. The band set up was not used on the day

The Gazebo Cafe and its ice cream daiquiris have been at French Market ever since I can remember. There is something comforting to return to NOLA and seeing that the Gazebo Cafe is still there. The ice cream daiquiris are Hubby and I's favorite. We grab a drink, take a seat, and enjoy the live music. This is New Orleans.

Where do I start? It's summer in Louisiana which means that it's hot so I was looking for a place that I could get out of the heat. I came across The Gazebo which had a lot of shade and fans to move the air. I took a seat and there was a live band which added that little extra touch. The service was quick. Our server was friendly and took good care of us. I had the crawfish casserole with chicken and sausage gumbo on top which I had never heard of before. Oooooh lala! It was a winner. My friend had French fries with cheese and gumbo on top which is something else that I had not had. Another ooooooooh lala! This was a wonderful and taste filled experience down in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It's casual and definitely worth trying.

I have passed this establishment many times during previous trips to New Orleans! My friend wanted to rest as we had been walking around for about 5,000 steps in the area! We stopped here because the band was playing and we needed a refreshing drink! My friend got the Rum Runner and she enjoyed and I shared the drink with/her! The service was adequate to be a busy outdoor cafe!

This was our first meal on our trip after landing in New Orleans and it definitely hit the spot! We grabbed some gumbo fries and it was so flavorful. The gumbo was very well seasoned, the chicken wasn't dry and each ingredient seemed to hold its own flavor. Yum. The live music was a bit loud but definitely added to the ambiance. It was a little confusing at first, we weren't sure if there was a specific spot we were supposed to go to to get seated. It seemed like the servers kind of just swam around the crowd of people asking if they wanted a seat. If you have cash, great, if not there's a small fee!

Great daiquiris, blended to perfection. Walk up to the window, place your drink order and head out with a delicious daiquiri. I tried the orange creamsicle is was so good, reminded me of a push up pop, loaded! Service was great! There's seating right outside, you can be seated, and enjoy some delicious food from the cafe menu or head out for a stroll and sip in the French Market!

Great spot to sit outside and enjoy the courtyard and live music. They are famous for their icecream daiquiris. The servers were running around like crazy and working so hard to keep up with such a busy weekend being the French Quarter Fest. Loved it! Would come back.

We previously stopped here before and enjoyed this however times have changed. The southern hospitality is still there, wait staff tries to accommodate. The drink orders not so much, not sure if the assumption is that customers are tipsy to not know any better. Whiskey Amaretto Sour drink is a no go here, first time was so bad couldn't drink it. Second was manageable to consume esp with tourist prices. Now the alligator portions have dwindled in size & were a bit chewy.

Ordered a muffuletta and some ice cream daiquiris. The food and drinks were good. The service was super slow. If you are not ready to sit for awhile, choose someplace else. The live band was nice.

Stopped by for drinks after hearing the live music down the street. They have a patio that's enclosed with clear tarp with a lot of seating. Good for group of 4-5 max per table. The menu has a bunch of cool options for drinks- both alcoholic and non alcoholic (like spiked hot chocolate, coffee&liquor drinks, drinks with ice cream, etc.) They also have a food menu with sandwiches and appetizers. When we sat down, a waiter came by immediately to take our order and was super nice!! The band was playing songs from a variety of decades and genres, with some jazz improv in between. The weather was cold and rainy, but the enclosed space and heaters made it super manageable! Will have to come back and try their food at another time! It's also located next to the french market if you want to shop amd support local artists!

Nice live cover band. We ordered to-go and it took forever! We saw other customers who were seated after us get their food prior to us. We had to ask the waitress how much longer the wait. Would have preferred they inform us instead of having to ask. Food was OK. Po'boy needed more sauce, the lettuce was old and soggy. Fried chicken sandwich was OK. Alligator sausage sandwich was flavorful.

My favorite place in NOLA! What's not to love? I'm a sucker for live music and open seating. Plus the food is amazing & memorable. We ordered red beans & rice, gumbo, and ice cream daiquiris. Everything was so good! I could've hung out here eating and drinking all day. It's definitely a place that I plan to stop off at if ever passing through NOLA again.

A mixed group of adults and teens were here over the Thanksgiving holiday. Wait staff was friendly and efficient and had great recommendations. I enjoyed the live music and strong to-go drinks.

Really glad we stopped for a drink! We were served quickly at the bar by a friendly staff member. It's a very low key, casual atmosphere and they have open outdoor seating and also have wait staff. There's lots of drink options and although we did not eat during our visit, the menu options looked good. We highly enjoyed the awesome live music.

Exhausted after a long day of different music venues with the sun beating down on me, a strawberry daiquiri with ice cream seemed to be just what I needed. Plus, they had seating and a 4 piece band entertaining us (trombone, banjo, string bass, drums). Got my daiquiri at the walk up window and it was delicious! Unbenpunced to me, they have table service and a kitchen. A very friendly gentleman brought me a tasty half muffalatta. And another daiquiri. Prices were good, the service was fine, and the music was great!

Walked by and saw on a big sign "the original ice cream daiquiri". It sounded delicious so we knew we had to try it out. It's the smallest hole in the wall. It's placed conveniently near a band that plays on the stage so it draws a lot of attention. The service was great, she was very helpful, and recommended some of the flavors that she liked or were popular. It was pretty quick and we got it before we knew it. Before we knew it, there was about 10 people behind us waiting to order. We ordered the Peach and Pina Colada. The peach was delicious, it was so creamy and had great flavor. It almost tasted like a peach ring. The pina colada tasted like a pina colada. We got them Virgin and they were delicious, so I can ONLY imagine what it would be like with some alcohol! Highly recommend this place, get the peach daiquiri!

I worked at Gazebo Cafe for last six months, so I am a bit biased, but will share the best and the brightest on the Menu and from the Bar to highlight the best way to enjoy yourselves while enjoying the Live Music at The Gazebo. I can now write this review, because I don't work at Gazebo anymore. I still have a lot of Great Friends there, so like I said, I am a bit biased, but this review is fact based for the most part. People go to Gazebo to have FUN, and few restaurants and bars can say this with a straight face. I always felt this was an interesting part of being a customer at Gazebo. The expectation of having FUN, while eating and drinking.... The Live Music is always on point. Jimmy Ballero, David Mahoney, and Andy(on Bass) always get the energy pumping Friday thru Monday from 10 to 2 pm. TimeZone comes on at 2 pm to keep Gazebo rocking until 6 pm. Gazebo is famous for their Frozen Ice Cream Daiquiri's, and for good reason!! I tend to see the Gazebo Cafe Frozen Daiquiris in 2 categories, "Refreshing, and Desserty" Strawberry, Pina Colada, Peach, Mango, Banana are all some of the most refreshing choices on the Menu. Ask for The Miami Vice, which is 1/2 Pina Colada, and 1/2 Strawberry, and pretty as can be. Peach and Strawberry are probably the top sellers, and most refreshing, but all the Daqs at Gazebo put smiles on faces. In the Desserty category are the Banana Split, the Grasshopper, the Mudslide, and the Mocha Almond Freeze. These are all poured into Hershey Syrup Lined To Go Cups, so while refreshing, also good for those with sweet tooth. The Mudslide is most popular in this zipcode. Gazebo has talented bartenders. Ask them to make any drink, and they will be able to handle your request almost all the time. They do a great Hurricane, a GREAT Long Island Tea, and extra shots are only $5(Makes sense just to make them all doubles at Gazebo!!) On to the MENU.... Top Dogs on the Appetizer side of things!! The Gator Bites, and the Gumbo Fries. Each for a different reason. The Gator Bites are just melt in your mouth Delicious. Gazebo's Gator Bites might be best in the City. Try them with Remoulade, and Cocktail Sauce, or NAKED and you will end up with the same result.. a Great Big Smile originating from your Belly. The Gumbo Fries, gets you the best of a few worlds.. U get Fries, U get Cheese Melted on those Fries, and then you get Gumbo Poured on top of those Cheese Fries, for what amounts to be a Big Easy Poutine of sorts. The Gumbo Fries is a great item to share with table mates. on $10 or so. SALADS... Gazebo always outperformed in the Salad Department, their Gazebo Salad is almost too big for it's own good. But it's presented in the most aesthetic manner, and all those aesthetics are chopped bacon, and cheese, and red onions. The Caesar Salad is once again a big Portion, 2 can share it easily, but I guess I saw a single person take it down a few time. Tony's Greek Salad is a customer favorite. The olives, the Feta, it's all in there, but remember to get some extra Vinaigrette(Italian) on the side(Thank Me Later) ENTREES If you are not in the Mood for a Po Boy at Gazebo, then I would go right to the Combo Platter, the Shrimp Platter, and the Catfish Platter. Though for the right customer, you might just order the Appetizer Sampler(Fried Gator, Fried Crawfish Tails, Fried Popcorn Shrimp) as your Entree. The Fried Seafood at Gazebo Cafe is GREAT!! 12 Shrimp on the Shrimp Platter, a Stack of Seafood on the Combo Platter, and 3 Nice Catfish Filets on the Catfish Platter. If you are in the Mood for a Po Boy, I think that the Shrimp, Catfish, and Roast Beef with Gravy Po Boys would be at the top of my list for best Po Boys at Gazebo. It's OK to get the Gravy on the side of the Roast Beef Po Fo Sho!! Ewe do You. Last but far from least, is a CHEESEBURGER that is at the top of the heap in the city. Gazebo has a well seasoned grill, that flame broils the burgers while they cook. The result is one of the Tastiest Burgers in the City. I used to eat a few burgers a week at Gazebo, and it was because they were so Good!! Pure Yum. If you like great Live Music, Blues/Rock and Roll, and tasty food, and cold drinks, and you are near the FRENCH MARKET, just follow your ear to the MUSIC near 1000 DECATUR, and you will find The Gazebo Cafe. Have FUN!!

Gumbo fries were delicious! If you're looking for a light refreshing drink, i would recommend a lemonade spritzer. We also had their Bloody Mary came with olives, onion, and green beans. There's always live music!

I stopped here for a drink and to get out of the heat on a Sunday afternoon. They had a live band playing that had the crowd singing and clapping. The bar service was mediocre. The cashier was not very pleasant, and my drink was weak. I gave them four stars because of the location and band. I also observed a bustling wait staff that even checked in on me a couple of times.

Great outdoor patio. Live music. Wonderful Bloody Mary's. I love the pickled green beans & olive garnish! This is our favorite place to stop when we go to NOLA.

Hurricane and piña colada frozen ice cream daiquiri! I want another frozen ice cream daiquiri! I'm sure all of them taste good. A yummy refreshing treat as you walk around in the humid heat. You could also stick around and listen to the live band. So fun!

It was raining, so we stopped by to sit and have a drink while listening to some live music. We both ordered a bloody Mary, they were really good and topped with lots of garnish including olives, a cocktail onion and of course pickled green beans here in Nola. It's nice to just sit and rest a bit with a cocktail and enjoy some live music.

Awesome place to pause & order a refreshing drink from their walk-up window. I'm not much of a drinker (I know, then what am I doing in NoLa?! Uhm, enjoying the vibes obviously!) but I really enjoyed the piña colada frozen ice cream daiquiri. SO. GOOD. Awesome place to enjoy a live band as well!

Stopped in for a Gazebo (premium) Bloody Mary, and crab kickers (fried crab cake balls) and onion rings. Crab was good, like deviled crab in a hushpuppy form and most likely pre made frozen product. Onion rings were crunchy and good but the spoiler was the Bloody Mary drinks, which was purpose for coming here. The mixer tasted like plain tomato juice with no seasoning at all - the vodka was the only thing you could taste. With so many great places to enjoy a Bloody Mary - skip this one and order a draft Abita instead. Service was slow but friendly wait staff.

Worst experience in #NewOrleans hands down. Manager is a nightmare and clearly in the wrong industry. We saw the signs that said "no outside food" BUT the woman who made our drinks at the stand AND the server who brought us our menus said we were fine to have half our party eat the sandwhich we brought with us (together with drinks and sides we were ordering from them) while the other half ordered exclusively from them. We would never have assumed it was ok had two people not given permission!!! After we were seated, the manager came out and began verbally and publicly berating us. We explained that two of her employees had given permission but she only grew more confrontational. We left and sat in the park and about five minutes later she left her business to follow us and asked us to identify her two employees. Given how inappropriate she was with us, we refused so as not to shift her ire to them. Sad. She was absolutely awful and her behavior was inexcusable.

I only had a drink but it was so yummy! The bartender was sweet and made the drink in front of me and quickly. I sat down and listened/watched to the live music. It's a great place to hang out with some friends and have some Good drinks. I think the drinks are reasonably priced. I had the chi chi which is pretty much a piña colada but with vodka and icecream. It was so good!

My husband and I are visiting from New Mexico. Today we enjoyed music, delicious drinks, and great conversation with the most wonderful server, Morgan, during the French quarter fest. She chose what might be my new favorite drink-the dreamcicle ice cream daiquiri. We'll definitely be back. Thank you, Morgan!

We arrived in New Orleans for a much-needed long weekend and our flight arrived very early. Since we couldn't check in until 3 o'clock, we decided to wander down to the French market and look around. We had every intention of going to the famous coffee and beignet place, but a cruise ship had let loose and the line was half way to Texas. So we decided to start grazing as is our want when we are in town. This neat little café is an outdoor restaurant with seating sort of scattered around a patio. They had live music and that is always a plus. We decided to order a half of a muffaletta sandwich and an order of crawfish puppies along with a margarita and a beer. We have probably had better muffaletta sandwiches before, but after having been on the plane since four in the morning and we were very hungry, this place really did the trick. Margarita was excellent and anytime I can get a Abita on tap it's a good day. As I have said so often before in my reviews, I rate the restaurants on what they are trying to be. This place is trying to be a sandwich place that you can eat outside and listen to jazz music and I would say they do pretty well. May be a little on the pricey side, but it is in the main tourist area and as I said earlier, cruisers were infesting the neighborhood!

Our waiter was awesome!! The best service!! The food was fabulous!! Chris cat was our server totally recommend!!

That staff are sooooo friendly and the food comes out so quickly! True NOLA flavors and the best frozen drinks in town!! Live bands throughout the day make the experience one to remember!

Delicious margarita, friendly staff, and had so much fun listening to live jazz! It was super laid back, and nice to just relax in the shade after walking the French Market.

The atmosphere was great, band playing, outdoor environment, good food. What we liked the most was the service, Anthony was awesome, he took care of us 100%. I would definitely go back and ask for Anthony to be our waiter.

3 stars for the music only. The food and service here is below average. Go eat elsewhere, but stay for the live music.

Consume all the fried gator and live music to your heart's content, a little away from the beaten path but still close enough to be an instagram-heavy tourist.

We were shopping at the French market and saw the live band and decided to grab one of their daiquiri and some fries to sit and watch for a bit. The peach ice cream daiquiri was so freaking good it tasted like peach rings with icecream. The fries were honestly very good and the waitress was a sweetheart. The live music was great and I love where this is located in the French market.

Nice ambiance with live music and a good place to grab a quick bite (especially a muffuletta!) or drink while taking in all that is New Orleans. When we were there, the homeless nearby got a little aggressive with some of the other patrons but didn't come by to bother us and they were generally unassuming. The band plays great music but can get a little in your face with donations at the end of the afternoon when they are done performing for the day.

The food was amazing! My table ordered the gumbo fries which I give a 10/10, gumbo a 10/10, crab cakes 6/10 because it was too soft and a muffuletta a 10:10. We had a waiter name Edwin or something similar but he was amazing you could tell he loves his job because every time I looked at him he was dancing and smiling. The jazz band was there towards the evening and they were pretty good too. Definitely a must try! Follow me on TikTok for more reviews "taneeshanthecity"

Great live music providing an ambiance with your food and friendly service! Just go ASAP

This place did NOT disappoint. Hurricane was "well-oiled", especially for a lunch cocktail. Best muffaleta I have ever had. And the cheese fries? Ridiculous! Must stop!

The place is located by the French Market. It is a nice open area. A very friendly place. What makes this place nice is the music. The performers play good music. I ordered the Muffuletta. I saw someone ordered it and it looked good and really big. I ordered a half portion. It was still big. I must say . It is a good sandwich. The sandwich was toasted. The sesame seed gave it a great flavor and crunch. The olive flavor was good too. It came with a dip. It tasted like olive oil. It complimented the sandwich great. I had a side of onion rings. The batter used to make them was good. I really liked it. It was with a side of honey mustard. A good sweet mustard. Service was fast. The server was helpful and professional, Edwin T thank you for everything.

The Gazebo Cafe is an awesome vibe! Live music, great food and strong drinks, what more could you ask for?! Me and a group of friends of mine visited Gazebo during our weekend trip to New Orleans. Unfortunately, we arrived right when they were about it to close, so we didn't get the full experience, but the time we did spend there was awesome! I ordered the crawfish casserole and shared alligators bites with my friend. I promise you, the casserole tasted like Thanksgiving stuffing with an amazing twist! It was quite possibly one of the best things I've ever eaten! The alligator bites were fired perfectly and didn't have the normal chewy consistency that I am used to. New Orleans is very easily a foodie dream! If you're looking for some authentic creole cuisine, add Gazebo to your list! You will not be disappointed!

We were on the way to get coffee from Cafe du Monde, but came across Gazebo Cafe, which I am glad we did! I mean, how could we not stop at the original ice cream daiquiri spot! It's a cute little cafe where they have plenty of seating and a live jazz band that plays. We thoroughly enjoyed our daquiris! Keep in mind, though it is outdoors and we just ordered our drinks at the stand, they do not allow outside food (we were also eating our beignets, lol).

Glad we found this little gem. Was a great place to take a break from the heat. We sat under an umbrella and there was a nice breeze. The live music was fabulous. Our server was very kind and attentive. I had a ice cold Corona (beer) and my husband had one of the signature daiquiris / cremesicle - and said it was delicious. He had a big breakfast but I was hungry especially when I saw the guests next to us get their food. I'm a vegetarian and asked our server if I could do the muffuletta sandwich without meat. He quickly went to check if they had the vegetarian option and they did. I ordered the half sandwich hoping the hubby would help. It was huge. The flavor was fantastic. The bread was soft and warm. It had a couple different cheeses, bell peppers, onion and olives with an Italian dressing on the side that paired perfectly. This was a highlight meal and experience.

Ok I will admit I was torn at first checking out this place. My wife wanted a po'boy and I was dead set on a muffalotta. Not many places serve both. Arrived just after 1130am and a live jazz band was smoking hot. It's an outdoor venue so consider the time of year. My wife got a roast beef po'boy with beef gravy, outstanding, I got a little nibble. My muffa was solid and to boot, extra olive sauce. I did a little fried gator as a side also good especially the sauce, just the right bite. I know there are other places that boast better boys and muffas,but you can't go wrong here. Get you bignets and coffee in the am, shop the market and walk the quarter. You will be hungry by then. You will drop back and thank me.

Service was great! Ordered the onion rings bc on the other reviews...YUM! Cheese fries also great! The "trio" of red beans & rice, gumbo and jambalaya is delicious! All this with music, fresh air and fantastic prices!

Loved this open outdoor space! We came here a bunch of times if we needed a drink & just wanted to sit around and listen to music for a while. Super casual, everyone was super friendly, and the drinks are quick, easy, and you can take them with you! Fried shrimp & crawfish are a must. The last time we were there I went with the crawfish po boy and I have 0 regrets. It's packed full of seafood and the tangy remoulade that goes with it is perfect. We'll come back every time we're in NOLA!

Great Food, Great Location, Great Live Music! Had a couple sampler platters; the alligator sausage was excellent!

We've usually stopped here for drinks as we're walking around the Quarter. This place is so much more than a quick drink stop, though the ice cream cocktails are delicious. Try the banana split cocktail! We were looking for a quick nibble and ordered the gumbo fries. They were beyond fantastic, a great gumbo to fries ratio. We needed forks to finish. YUM!!

As usual the Gazebo Cafe never fails to please. Our server- wish we'd gotten his name- was super attentive. We only had drinks, but were pleasantly surprised at how often our server checked on us. You can't go wrong stopping here.

We stopped in here for a drink and a rest in January when other nearby cafes either were overstuffed or had decidedly subpar musical accompaniment. The tight live band and the heaters on the patio first caught our attention. But hey, I think we found the best spot near the square after all. Their Pina Coladas are made with fresh coconut and whipped cream and frankly were some of the best I've tasted anywhere. But on a chilly day, the hot Irish Twins Jameson-based drink totally hit the spot. I would stop in again for that drink alone. We got brave and ordered a sampler platter with fried shrimp, crawfish and alligator. Those last two were not my thing, but definitely satisfied the curiosity of my shopping companions. Service was stellar. Leashed and well behaved dogs are allowed on the patio. The band works for tips and appreciates applause, so please give them plenty of both.

Great atmosphere with live music, drinks were good. Food was not. This place is far from 4 stars. Come for a drink, not food.
