Located in Louisiana's historical
French Quarter of New Orleans, Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville is part of a city rebuilding with its body and soul following hurricane Katrina. After 5 p.m., Jimmy Buffet's colorful songs, combined with the soulful sounds of New Orleans music, can be heard drifting down the avenues long before Margaritaville comes into view.
Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville café is open every day with a full menu and a full service bar, with a "Margaritaville state of mind" developing the minute a person walks into this bright and colorful atmosphere of a combination store, café and bar. A place built on New Orleans history, it consists of a menu to satisfy the stomach while surrounded by music like no other, as this famous Louisiana establishment sets the feet to tappin' and the body twitchin'. Jimmy Buffet began his music in New Orleans when he did live performances for the public in order to get tips and donations, called "busking" in England, but in the United States it refers to the early street performers of such places like New Orleans.
Starters from the menu of Jimmy's exquisite cafe consist of more than several mouth watering dishes, such as Crab, Shrimp and Mushroom Dip or Jamaica Mistaica Wings. From then on, the sky is the limit with specialties such as Jimmy's Jammin' Jambalaya—a dish consisting of Cajun rice loaded with servings of shrimp, chicken and andouille sausage, served on French bread. With other specialties consisting of Lobster and Shrimp Scampi, Coconut Shrimp, or Crawfish Etouffee, this truly is New Orleans-style cooking at its very best.
