Where to Order Gumbo in NOLA
Few cities can claim a wider array of iconic dishes than New Orleans, the city that gave the world beignets, po'boys, king cake and oysters Rockefeller. But there may be no dish more synonymous with Louisiana culture than gumbo.
Unsurprisingly, NOLA restaurants serve some of the best gumbo anywhere. In honor of the annual Tremé Creole Gumbo Festival on November 9 and 10, our real estate agents have selected their favorite places to order gumbo in New Orleans!
- Li'l Dizzy's Cafe - 1500 Esplanade Ave, New Orleans, LA 70116
A beloved local lunch joint in the historic Tremé neighborhood, Li'l Dizzy's Cafe is owned and operated by the Baquet family, whose roots in the city go back centuries. The gumbo recipe goes back a few generations too, and the family has served it at a half-dozen different restaurants they've owned over the decades. It's loaded with ham, crab, shrimp, and the essential ingredients: hot sausage and gumbo base that the Baquets make themselves. Li'l Dizzy's is also just about the friendliest place around and just minutes from these New Orleans homes for sale. - Saint John - 715 St Charles Ave, New Orleans, LA 70130
Newly re-opened in its new Downtown location, Saint John is the second restaurant in New Orleans from Chef John Cook, who also runs its sister restaurant, Gris-Gris, in the Lower Garden District. At Saint John, the focus is on what Cook calls Haute Creole cuisine—an elevated yet approachable take on recipes dating back to the 19th century. The smoky, silky gumbo here is sublime, prominently featuring shrimp, crab, okra, and Andouille sausage. - Dooky Chase's - 2301 Orleans Ave, New Orleans, LA 70119
Since the day Dooky Chase's opened its doors in 1941, it's been serving some of the best gumbo in New Orleans. Now being run by Dooky's granddaughter, Zoe Chase, and great-grandson, Edgar "Dook" Chase IV, this institution serves traditional gumbo with a rich, complex broth made with stewed-down ham hocks, veal, and blue crab. Dooky Chase's is open Tuesday through Friday for lunch and for dinner on Friday and Saturday, making it a great place to dine after visiting New Orleans open houses. - Gabrielle Restaurant - 2441 Orleans Ave, New Orleans, LA 70119
Hurricane Katrina forced Gabrielle Restaurant to close its doors in 2005, and it wasn't until 2017 that this beloved eatery made its much-anticipated return to Tremé. Chef-owner Greg Sonnier makes the roux that forms the base for Gabriella's gumbo in small batches, and that attention to detail makes every bowl shine. The restaurant's menu changes seasonally, as does the gumbo—you might find guinea hen, alligator, rabbit, and various types of sausage—making each visit to Gabrielle Restaurant a culinary adventure. - Liuzza's By the Track - 1518 N Lopez St, New Orleans, LA 70119
Nestled in a friendly, walkable neighborhood just off Esplanade, Liuzza's By the Track serves Cajun and Creole staples in a casual tavern setting. Although Luizza's By the Track is best known for their signature BBQ Po'Boy, they also serve up some truly next-level gumbo, going through more than 35 gallons of it per week. The secret is the shrimp, which are freshly sauteed for each order and added to the gumbo, which is dark, thick, and rich with sausage and chicken. It goes well with a Bloody Mary, another offering for which Liuzza's is also famous.
