Cafe Gumbolaya

Description:

• This restaurant is located in the historic Red Store building on the Mississippi River across the street from the French Market. The casual upscale dining rooms are simply decorated with a few paintings depicting scenes of New Orleans past and present. There is also an open air patio that offers a view of the bussling tourists and locals in the French Market. The staff is attentive and knowledgable of local cuisine. Specialties include the Pasta Jambalaya with smoked Andouille sausage with Gulf shrimp and ripe tomatoes, the Grilled Snapper Orleans topped with sauteed artichokes and mushrooms, and the Crawfish Napoleon: a stuffed pastry filled with crawfish and a spicy crème sauce.
