The Market Cafe, a family-owned and operated dining establishment since 1982, occupies the second oldest building in the French Market, which was first home to the Marcheaux Legumes, and previously known as the Old Vegetable Market and Fish Market. Dating back to 1823, the original cypress ceiling and 19th-century columns remain.

The best jambalaya I’ve had on my trip so far. The lemonade is great too. My boyfriend and his mom split the muffuletta and they loved it. It was tons of food too. Definitely recommend!
They make my fave Bloody Marys! A little slice and tons of toppings! There’s normally a live band playing nearby and ample seating! The French Market is right there, the river and Jackson square nearby.
The veggie muffuletta was exactly what I was looking for. The hummus was also very delicious and light for the afternoon. Would highly recommend.
Love the atmosphere, being able to sit in the warm sun people watching in the French quarter is exhilarating. My favorite place to eat in the french quarter.
I love this place. The food is awesome . This restaurant is pet friendly and has live band playing great music. Highly recommend
