When it comes to gumbo, there are two sides of the fence that people generally fall on: seafood gumbo and chicken & sausage gumbo. Both are delicious, and now that we’ve had a cold front or two, it’s officially gumbo season. While you’re waiting for that roux to brown, why don’t you pop on over to Gabrielle Restaurant, where you can try their incredible smoked quail gumbo which is truly one of the most unique gumbos you’ll find in New Orleans. Let’s check it out.
Gabrielle Restaurant has been a favorite for New Orleanians since 1992.
Many locals may remember their original location that was run by Mary and Greg Sonnier over on Esplanade Avenue that sadly closed down after Hurricane Katrina.
Gabrielle Restaurant re-opened its doors in 2017 after a 12-year hiatus.
The Sonnier’s daughter and namesake of the restaurant, Gabrielle Sonnier now co-owns the restaurant she grew up with, now located in the historic Treme neighborhood.

The family-owned and operated restaurant is just as comfortable and casual as it ever was.
Those that remember the original will still find a few nostalgic dishes on the menu, and they’ve tried to keep the overall atmosphere the same as it was before.
While it can be tempting to make their incredible gumbo a meal of its own, you'd be missing out on some of their incredible dishes like fried rabbit leg, bone-in pork chops, slow-roasted duck, and many others.
For more information, be sure to check out their website and give them a follow on Facebook.
