| If you spend a day shopping in the French Quarter, the Gumbo Shop is the ideal place to stop, as it is smack in its center. The traditional menu harbors only one pasta dish, but its adornments are right out of the Creole repertoire: crawfish and tasso ham. All the classics are here: shrimp rémoulade, jambalaya, red beans and rice, crawfish etouffée, blackened fish and the three authentically thick and earthy-tasting gumbos, one with seafood and okra, another with chicken and andouille sausage, and a third made with greens, called gumbo z'herbes, traditionally served for Lent if made without meat. The large mural depicting early New Orleans life still casts its spell in the main dining room, bathed in light from the steep windows along St. Peter Street. Service is hospitable and quite efficient. |
