The best burger i've ever had, very attentive staff and amazing music and atmosphere loved everything about it. AND THE BEST BURGERS EVER

Ran into Gazebo Café on our way to the French Market and it ended up being such a great surprise. The place has live music, which really sets the vibe -- relaxed, lively, and very New Orleans. You line up to grab your drinks first, then you're able to find a seat and order food if you want, which makes it feel super easy and casual. It's the kind of spot where you can just settle in and enjoy the atmosphere for a bit without rushing. We actually ended up getting repeat drinks because they were so good and refreshing. Overall, a fun, laid-back stop with great energy, live music, and the perfect break while walking around the city. read more

Gazebo Cafe - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

As a first-time visitor to New Orleans, I was pleasantly overwhelmed--in the best way--when I realized you can order a drink and stroll through the streets with it. I definitely had a moment where I thought... should I just move here? Gazebo Café ended up being one of my many little pit stops while exploring the area, and it was a great one. I decided to treat myself to an ice cream daiquiri, and the young lady behind the counter was very sweet and welcoming while taking my order. I went with the Mudslide, which had Irish cream, vodka, amaretto, coffee liqueur, chocolate syrup, and ice cream. It was absolutely delicious--smooth, rich, and the perfect cool treat while walking around. If you're exploring the French Quarter and want something sweet, boozy, and refreshing, Gazebo Café is definitely a fun stop to add to your list. read more

Gazebo Cafe is a open air cafe very close to the French Market, this place is very loud and popping with that NOLA feeling, the atmosphere is so high and electrifing with a live band pumping out the sounds, it is right next to a small historic park. This was the perfert spot to come and chill after shopping, we ordered the cat fish po boy, the shrimp po boy and salads and gumbo, the food took a while to come out, but everything was delicious, this place was so crowded but we were check up on about three times...."working on that tip"This is a covered cafe, with fan's and heater's in the ceiling. read more

Nice spot to enjoy food outside between shopping and sightseeing. It was fast service.

Music was great, and the atmosphere right next to a small park was beautiful. The sampler was delicious and so worth it. Out po boys were less than amazing, but that's ok, we came around the time the kitchen is about to close. read more

Gazebo Cafe is known for their many flavors of frozen ice cream daiquiris! You can order up at the kiosk/booth and they blend it up right in front of you! And it tastes like an indulgent boozy dessert. I had the banana split and I wasn't sure if the flavors were going to go together well, but it was unique and delicious! It also had a respectable amount of alcohol in it. My husband got a pina colada daiquiri and it was really good too. We just grabbed seats right by the music and the vibes were just right. The only thing was that the service wasn't super friendly. But I'd definitely get some more daiquiris here again the next time I'm staying in the French Quarter! read more

After a while of walking around the French Market on a nice weekend morning, Chas and myself got a bit thirsty. The Gazebo at the French Market offered a stand for a fairly quick drink rather than having to go into a restaurant and order off a menu and wait. Chas was feeling a bloody Mary and I got myself a Banana Split frozen daiquiri. I tried Chas' Bloody Mary and it had good flavor and a nice little pop of spice. Nothing overbearing, just letting you know it was there. No frills on this one, not like other spots with fried shrimp and stuff hanging off them haha, but a tasty drink. My drink however, was far far better. I would drink this thing everyday for the rest of my life. I'm not sure how much alcohol was actually in it, but the flavor was on point. Definitely Didn't Suck! read more

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 three stars because of the location and band. I also observed a bustling wait staff that checked in on me a couple of times. I declined service as I did not want another weak drink. At least you will be entertained, enjoy. read more

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! read more

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! read more

For several decades, I've come here for one thing --- The Frozen Grasshopper Famous for their Frozen Ice Cream Daiquiris, The Gazebo's Grasshopper is made for mint chocolate chip ice cream lovers, using creme de menthe and chocolate syrup. Delivers a nice refreshing punch to any part of your day. (They also make an amazing Mocha Almond Freeze) No matter who is tending bar, they are always friendly, professional, and efficient, making sure to tap every bit of what's left in the blender into your cup! The Gazebo is an unmistakable landmark, with plenty of outdoor seating, live music, a full menu and in close proximity to the French Market, Cafe' du Monde, and Central Grocery (home of the original Muffaletta). read more

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! read more

Great place for a quick lunch in the quarter! Great weather, great Bloody Mary, and great band playing in the background. Stopped by for a quick snack and drink to enjoy the sun and music.

Have passed here so many times and never stopped in. We did today and regretted it. There was no music playing, but waitress Christina told us they were starting again in 5 minutes. We sat down ordered a drink which was horrible and 15 minutes later the band was breaking down and never played again. Shame on you for lying. read more

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! read more

Went there last week and loved everything about this cafe, the food was awesome and the music...first song of the day was Mr. Ray Charles and I for one had to dance, alone until the server joined me and that just made my day!

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. read more

Great place at the French Market. This is patio only seating. There's a live band playing. I had the red beans and rice. Big yums! My hubby had the 1/2 muffuletta, this was tasty, as well.

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

A great place to rest your feet and get a drink! I can't speak on the food but drinks, live music and service are all great!

My wife and Mom bought food here and I got food from a cross the street and the manager walked over to our table and made me leave the outside seeing because it wasn't their food. I felt bad for the server because she felt so uncomfortable. If I could have I would have canceled the order for them. Its a open market seating and he thought this is a good look and they are closing in 10min. So dumb and I see why the sandwich at Central Grocery Co Is so much better than Gazeba Cafe. read more

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!! 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
