Enjoy a memorable meal at the Dry Dock Cafe in New Orleans, accessible via a fun ferry ride to historic Algiers Point.

Ready for an adventure? This local restaurant is just a hop, skip, and a ferry ride away, and promises to be a memorable meal. And sure, you could easily drive there, but what's the fun in that when the ferry practically drops you off at the restaurant's doorstep? Clear your afternoon and embark on a fun ferry ride with an incredible meal from the Dry Dock Cafe in New Orleans as your reward.

Known as New Orleans’ Best Kept Secret, Algiers Point is one of the oldest neighborhoods in New Orleans, second to the French Quarter.

While you could drive to Algiers Point, the ferry is much more fun and will only set you back a couple of dollars. And you’ll have a beautiful view of the city!

The ferry will drop you off in historic Algiers Point, and from there you’ll walk about a block to the Dry Dock Cafe.

This neighborhood pub has been a favorite stopping point for locals and tourists since they opened in 1989.

Incredibly casual, the rustic yet funky vibes lend to a warm and welcoming atmosphere that’s the perfect setting to chow down on some delicious grub.

And be prepared to eat! The menu features all your favorite Cajun and Creole dishes.

Overstuffed po’boys, shrimp bisque, and some of the best seafood gumbo in the city are all waiting for you.

Not to mention some huge mounds of fried seafood.

For starters, their signature Seafood Delaronde is a must. This tasty dish features shrimp and oysters topped with lump crabmeat before being smothered with cheese and pesto sauce and baked to a golden brown.

Or get your hands dirty with some barbecued shrimp, served with French bread so you can soak up all that delicious sauce.

Whether you’re in the mood for a club sandwich or a muffuletta, the Dry Dock Cafe has a menu that caters to just about everyone.

And portions that will leave you happy and full without leaving a dent in your wallet.
