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 Cafe has an open-air patio, complete with a live jazz band, and promises a relaxing and authentic taste of New Orleans in the French Quarter. The bar is always open, the music is always playing and the food is Mardi Gras perfect all year round!
