We were very anxious to try this cafe!! Great location, and concept. We went at lunch on a thursday and never even made it to the food. We came into the very noisy dining room and at least 3-4 servers kept passing us and NOT ONE stopped and said a word, or even acknowledged our presence. Not "Ill be right... more

This review has more to do with the cleanliness of the restaurant, than the food. We went to the French Market for breakfast this morning. We had heard wonderful reviews and decided to give it a try. We were highly disappointed and disgusted. We sat at a two top by the restaurants front window. Immediately we heard buzzing and looked... more

Delicious!

I'm from Shreveport, Louisiana and we always plan our trips to visit family in Mobile around food. Mobile has some of the best food and the best variety and this place is a MUST have on every trip. I've eaten a lot of "New Orleans Best" food from "New Orleans" itself and none of it compares to the delicious style... more

Went to The French Market Cafe for dinner with friends Saturday night. The food was cold and the service was horrendous! I will not be back and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

The service and food were both great. The eggplant parm, a soup du jour, was very tasty as a starter. Then I like a Po'Boy half or whole depending on my hunger level, but I always leave room for the beignets. I'll be back. more

I had only vaguely heard of this restaurant, but after some discussion in the office, we decided to give it a try. It's sad to think that the French Market Cafe' has been around all these months, and I've only just now discovered this fantastic little restaurant. The restaurant is a diner-style establishment; you can sit at the counter or... more

Based on a Newspaper review my wife and I tried the French Market Cafe several months ago. It is now our favorite meal of the week and we go each Saturday. All of their soups are wonderful, the bread is authentic and you will need a fresh stack of napkins between each bit of their roast beef po boy. The... more

I just ate lunch at this restaurant. It is outrageously good. The staff was super friendly and accomodating. I even met and chatted with the owner for a few minutes. This place is authentic New Orleans straight down to the way they slice their meats and the outstanding bread they put it on. Try the reuben. It was terrific. I... more

I just ate lunch at The Best of New Orleans, French Market Cafe on Government Street, in Mobile, and it was WONDERFUL! I had the lunch special of fried shrimp and fried green tomato po-boy with a bowl of tomato basil soup. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere is truly authentic to that we find in N.O. It... more

I've only had their beignets and cafe'au lait, very tasty, a little off, but still scratch the itch. more
