NOLA Caye combines New Orleans’ charm, culture and its genuine sense of hospitality with bold, fresh Caribbean flavors. The word "CAYE" eludes to a small island giving the restaurant's name a literal translation of "New Orleans Island" or "Isle of New Orleans."

Our menu offers Crispy Shrimp Tacos, Tuna Ceviche, Freshly Shucked Oysters, Red Curry Shrimp, Chicken Tortilla Soup, Cuban Sandwich, Ginger Salmon, Jamaican Jerk Fish and a Strip Steak with chimichurri sauce.

Save room for dessert so you don’t miss out on our Banana Crème Pie, Oreo Ice Cream Sandwich, Key Lime Pie or Tres Leches.

Our signature cocktails include “Climate Change” a hibiscus infused margarita with a fiery three-chili ice ball providing the catch phrase: “the longer you wait….the hotter it gets” Also try our “Bloody Jerk” which contains our house-made Bloody Mary mix. We dare say it’s the best version of a Bloody Mary New Orleans has to offer.

    From upon entering, the music and ambiance of the restaurant gave off a great vibe. Kate our waitress was spectacular in her recommendations even though she had not been there very long. The food looked like five stars but tasted like 10! Foods that my bf wouldn’t normally try were delicious and delectable beyond his expectations. We enjoyed everything from appetizers, drinks, entrees, and even the Oreo ice cream sandwich dessert down to the last bite. Definitely the highlight of the trip to New Orleans!

    Destiny was such a wonderful server. She was kind, personable and made great suggestions. We were seated immediately. The restaurant was well lit and not to noisy. The portions were plentiful and the food was delicious. Everything came to our table hot and fresh and in a timely manner. We had the wings, steak sandwich, oxtail and grits, oyster taco, tres leche and banana cream pie. The wings were to die for. Seasoned well and the right combination of sweet and spicy. The steak sandwich was juicy and flavorful, we did request more mayo for the bread. The Oxtail fell off of the bone and were so juicy and the grits weren’t spicy at all, they were cheesy and delicious. Definitely not like anything I’d had before. Bother desserts were fantastic. Not too sweet and just enough to seal the deal.

    Glad we canceled our reservation at another restaurant and came to Nola Caye. The food, service, and ambiance were excellent. I recommend the coconut shrimp and Ahi tuna ceviche for starters. The tacos were very flavorful, my favorites were the shrimp and steak and to finish the meal, the banana custard dessert is a must. Look forward to the next time we come back to town coming back here to eat.

    We loved the ambiance of the restaurant, and our server was extremely nice. My date ordered the Nola Caye breakfast, which was amazing, and I had the biscuits and gravy, which were good, but the chicken itself could’ve used a little more seasoning. Overall, we’ll definitely look forward to returning.

    A delightful find!! Went here because a friend gave me a gift certificate and I can't thank her enough! Owned by the same folks at Des Familles in Lafitte, NOLA Caye cannot be more different in esthetics and cuisine. What remains the same is incredible attention to detail, flavors, service and value. Highly recommend the ahi tuna ceviche app, the Cuban sandwich (which passed my Cuban cuisine snob dining companion's test with flying colors) and the oxtail. But leave room for the Tres Leches!!! Ronnie is the best, and Deb is awesome!

    It was my friends and I first visit and we agreed the food was really tasty, the wings being my favorite and I love the happy hour menu and price! Our waitress was very attentive and pleasant, and added to our experience. The only thing I regret is not getting the name of the happy hour rosé because it was SO good, I need a bottle at home.

    This was my 2nd time here. The first time was a spur-of-the-moment Sunday brunch with friends. We didn’t make a reservation but were pleasantly surprised to be able to sit at the bar. The huevos rancheros was delicious! I don’t think my glass of bottomless mimosas ever got less than half full. This time, I came with my husband & 2 daughters to celebrate his 31st birthday weekend. Even though this was on more family-friendly terms, the vibe was still great. The duck & eggs was delicious & he thoroughly enjoyed his biscuits & gravy with bottomless mimosas.
