Cafe Jefferson

Beautiful place with great food. Drink list could be better but it is a great lunch stop.

Wonderful dining experience. You will find something delicious, whatever taste your taste might be. It was really hard to choose, but everything we had was fantastic. The 'Seafood Heaven' is appropriately named, the seafood bisque, and everything we had was unbelievably good. The service was excellent, the food hot & fresh. Definitely recommend!

Really good food and great service in a pretty setting. I had the dish Seafood Heaven and it was delicious. The waitress was friendly and efficient with a great personality.

This restaurant has some very delicious food, and I would eat here EVERY DAY if I lived closer.
The scenic view is especially captivating, too! There is no growing weary of either.
I have enjoyed the mufalotto sandwich immensely!!! My boyfriend is from New Orleans and he raves about how the way Cafe Jefferson prepares it is THE BEST! The Cafe's version of the Italian sandwich gives a lot of the tasty olive salad and the sandwich is pressed (unlike how most are prepared). We ALWAYS GET THIS SANDWICH on every visit.

The chili is good. The sausage and shrimp gumbo is a favorite.

My new favorite is the Chicken and Tasso Sauce Picante. Yum-YUM!!!!!!!

I have only tried one of the desserts: pecan pie a la mode (ice cream of Borden's Golden Vanilla). The filling of the pecan pie is the best! I did not particularly like the huge pieces of pecan. It would have been better if they were chopped finely or used less of them.

You will love your food at this Cafe! Enjoy!!

We got there at 2:15 and they were supposed to close at 2:30pm. We ordered a cup of gumbo and a muffaletta to share. The server was very friendly and the food was delicious! The Cafe' has a beautiful view of Lake Peigneur and was very clean!

The seafood bisque is incredible! This is a great place to take guests and the setting is beautiful. Eat first so you can stroll the gardens and burn some of the calories off.

Crab augratin is the best anywhere in Louisiana as is the seafood gumbo. We live close, are members of the gardens and visit frequently. We are always treated like family, the views are spectacular and any of the food ordered is authentic !!! No fake news here bros !!! Mike, Weezy and Michele have done an exceptional job with Cafe Jefferson and Rip Van Winkle Gardens. Anyone who does not like this place is blind with defective taste buds.

Nice little cafe. Servers were very friendly, food was amazing, and the surroundings were beautiful. All this AND a very reasonable price. I will visit again if ever near New Iberia.

Roast beef sandwich was just okay, but hard to enjoy after a trip to the ladies's room. Every toilet was backed up, disgusting and unusable.

Peacocks know when lunch is served. We know this, because, as we were finishing our meal, one of them jumped up on the table and grabbed a piece of toast off one of the plates. Threw it to the ground, jumped off the table and at it. Left us alone after that. And, the meal, by the way was fantabulous! I had the seafood gumbo. Wife had the smoked turkey, smoked gouda, smoked bacon sandwich. We've continued to copy it ever since for lunches. I think the ambience at Cafe Jefferson though, adds another level of flavor to everything. Deelish!
