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. read more

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! read more

Gazebo Cafe - Hurricane and Piña Colada Frozen Ice Cream Daquiri - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

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. read more

We were in NOLA for a couple of days and went to this cute cafe. I had not seen it before. But we had great service. The food was delicious. Our server Morgan was so attentive to us and went above and beyond. I think we will have to go back there again! read more

Food was outstanding, music was great, drinks were delicious and cold, but the best part was Christina, the server. This was the first place we tried on our very first time to New Orleans and Christina made us feel right at home. She was friendly, attentive, and gave us recommendations on food as well as what to see in this beautiful city. We went back for round two on the day we flew back home and had an equally good experience. We'll definitely be back the next time we go to New Orleans. The fried chicken, the trio, and the roast beef po boy were stand outs and their Bloody Mary is great. read more

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! read more

Stopped by the Gazebo Café on a Friday morning and it was the perfect start to the day. The live music was fantastic--classic New Orleans sound with tons of soul and energy. I ordered a pickle Bloody Mary, and wow... it was excellent. Just the right amount of spice, perfectly chilled, and that pickle garnish gave it a fun, tangy kick. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, with great people-watching and plenty of shade. Highly recommend if you're looking to enjoy some live music, strong drinks, and good vibes in the heart of the French Quarter. read more

It was just OK. Traveled out of town and tired this placed. It was just OK. The staff was very friends and attentive.

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! read more

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). read more

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! read more

Visiting from out of town and happen to come across Gazebo Cafe. The second we sat down a server walked over and greeted us with menus. Ambiance was inviting and fun with live band playing music. Food and service was great and reasonably priced. Delicious piña colada! Highly recommend. read more

Reviewing the take-out bar only.. you can sit and have wait service or you can walk up to the round bar, buy a drink and walk with it through the market while shopping. (French market is right behind here) If you have guests, it's s the ultimate quarter experience.. and the bartenders here are terrific, and there's usually livE music playing whilE you wait. It's one of the best hurricanes in this immediate area, price and quality. And their funny tip jars make me tip them twice, lol Be careful you're not tipsy when you enter that market... hurricanes sneak up oN you.. you'll end up with a bag full of tchotchkes you paid too much for! read more

Gazebo Cafe - My fave hurricane stop en route to the market! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

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. read more

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. read more

Gazebo Cafe - New Orleans trio, crawfish hush puppies and half a muffuletta! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

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! read more

The banana ice cream daiquiri was delightful. Highly recommend. Lovely ambience. Perfect outdoor seating. There was a band while I was there . An overall great place in the French Market area. read more

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" read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

The service at the walk up window for drinks was fast. We ordered a mudslide and Louisiana Lemonade. Unfortunately both tasted very watery and had little flavor. The band was great and service was great though. Drinks average. Because of all the positive reviews might try again in the future. read more

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. read more

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

Delicious Bloody Mary's made in minutes. Sooo yummy we asked the bartender her name so we could Yelp these yummy creations that only cost $7.75 and we had live music in the background to make them taste even yummier. Thanks Steph! read more

Yummy food and drinks. Great service. Had live music when we were here. Covered eating area.

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

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. read more

If it's French Quarter Fest or if it's Lundi Gras, I am surely stopping by @gazebocafenola to get a peach frozen fruit and ice cream daiquiri made with Cruzan peach rum from @gazebocafenola. : It's usually hot for French Quarter Fest, and if a friend comes in town and wants to see the Quarter during the summer when it is just unbearably hot and humid, this place is about the best thing I've found to keep cool . read more

Gazebo Cafe is near the French Market and offers live music and booze. You can grab an ice cream daiquiri for $7.75. Options include mudslide, mocha almond, white Russian, nutty Irishman, dreamsicle, chocolate mint, strawberry, and pina colada to name a few. The ice cream daiquiri is pretty good, strong and creamy. ....| \ _ , , , - - , , _ , .../ , ` . - ' ` ' . _ \ - ; ; ; , _ ..| , a - ) ) _ . ; .
