The weather might be fluctuating still but there’s nothing better than a good bowl of gumbo in the fall and winter months. This week, the editors are sharing their favorite spots for gumbo around New Orleans.
Chemin à la Mer
Must get! DONALD’S SEAFOOD GUMBO – Crab, Shrimp, Oyster, Okra, Louisiana Rice
Casamento’s Restaurant
“My go-to is a bowl of seafood gumbo and half an oyster or shrimp loaf at Casamento’s. Pair it with a frosty cold beer or Barq’s root beer and you’re good to go for the rest of the day.”
-Ashley McLellan, Editor New Orleans Magazine/New Orleans Homes
Sidecar Patio & Oyster Bar
“Best Gumbo I ever had was at Sidecar. Dark roux led to extra thick texture but not too toasted. Was absolutely delicious. I split a serving of chicken andouille gumbo and could easily have shared two more.”
-Rich Collins, Editor New Orleans 500
Li'l Dizzy's Cafe
“Lil Dizzy’s—because it’s packed with deliciousness. Lots of crab, shrimp, sausage, ham…”
-Reine Dugas, Editor Louisiana Life/Acadiana Profile
Mandina's Restaurant
“It’s a classic. Tastes just like my family’s recipe!”
-Kelly Massicot, Digital Media Editor
