Market Cafe

Our food was delicious. Both the quality and the service was on point ! Was lucky to experience jazz music while eating. A must while visiting New Orleans!

Lisa, Bridget and James are amazing! Fun place...delicious food...yummy cocktails and fantastic music!!! Great times so kept coming back for more! 3X in 3 days! So fun...it's a must do place! Food, drinks, live music and people are the BEST! Favorite place in NOLA!! ❤️

It was so hot out when we went for lunch, sweat pouring in triple digit weather. The staff sat us quickly and brought us water immediately. They gave us time to cool down and then took our order. Wait staff was amazing, Food was by far the best. You couldn't go wrong stopping here to eat. They kept the ice water coming!

This place was a great find. We were able to sit outside in a shaded dining area and enjoy an amazing Jazz band while we ate. Our waitress was helpful and friendly.

We had the crawfish beignets, New Orleans Sampler, and Shrimp platter. All were great. The crawfish beignets were exceptional to the point that I am still thinking about them a week later.

Food was pricey, but worth it.

The staff was really friendly and welcoming. The food was great. We decided to have the breakfast buffet. Very good deal. Had a jazz band playing on their outside patio. Great atmosphere.

We visited not once, but twice during our 3 night stay in NOLA. The food was amazing. The Taste of New Orleans was a great option and the Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich was tasty too.

What also had us go back was our server Minnie. She was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! She was our sister friend for sure for the time we were at her table and she made sure we were taken care of.

Make sure you go and ask for Minnie.

The market cafe is the cutest blue cafe with lovely servers and great food!
We got the jambalaya, alligator bites, muffuletta, and fried catfish.

It was absolutely freezing when we went. They had heaters above our heads they kept us comfortable. We dined on the patio which was spacious and cleaner than most places. The staff like most places in NOLA were nice but extremely busy. Our waitress noticed what my husbands Gumbo did not have enough protein so she went back and asked for a bowl of it to bring to him. We thought that was beyond nice as many places we went to could not give a care in the world. The Muffuletta was DELICIOUS! We asked for a half order when in reality we should have ordered an entire one! One of us ordered a coffee which they raved about and I am allergic to caffeine so I opted for a hot chocolate which was Devine for this cold weather!
For dessert we asked for the bread pudding and it was one of the best I’ve ever had!!! Nice and warm and full of flavor!
I made a friend while there. His name is Billy Bob. He followed me all the way down the street. If you see him tell him I said hi!
