Tips from the community
Jambalaya: Jambalaya is a rice based dish that is made with a tomato or roux base, a variety of fish and meats, and always smoked sausage. The Gumbo Shop never disappoints. This hole-in-the-wall French Quarter restaurant is so good that they are also high on my list for best red beans and rice, po’boys, and gumbo. Go with a group and share plates, and be sure to try their bourbon bread pudding to cap off the meal.

Gumbo Shop is a longtime favorite of mine. This hole-in-the-wall French Quarter restaurant almost always has a line, but the wait is worth it for authentic Cajun and Creole dishes well beyond gumbo. They have some of the best jambalaya I’ve ever had, outstanding Po’Boys, and a surprisingly delicious rotating vegetarian dish for anyone with a plant based diet. Order a pitcher of Abita Amber beer and enjoy this authentic must try.
