Reviews for Cafe Nola Defuniak in Defuniak Springs, FL
We were in New Orleans yesterday but in Florida today, so I was confused by the husband's request for Cajun food today - but... this was the perfect find! We ordered a blackened mahi sandwich, veggies, and a jambalaya pasta, and everything was so good!Large portions, fresh, and delicious! And it's in such a cute little town that would've been fun to walk around if we'd had thetime (and if things were open - looked like most things weren't open on Sunday afternoon). Read more
We stopped in just as we were on a random Monday after visiting the Springs (state park) in Ponce De Leon but you could get a... lil more dressed up than fresh from the creek and feel great going for a tasty dinner. It was so yummy! We started with thefried bread pudding. Yes, dessert first. It was a different twist on a classic. Be ready for the calories. You can get ice creamon it but we didn't this time. Ordered an extra salad and shared the Redfish Nola between two of us. Got the redfish blackenedand it wasn't too spicy just flavorful. Had to resist licking the plate it was sooooo good. There are plenty of other dishes totry if you're hungrier than we were. Service was prompt, polite and friendly. Fyi- the sun comes in the front windows prettybright in the afternoon but the atmosphere is nice and subdued so it'd be really great later on. We just timed it earlier in theday due to our schedule. Ready to return any time we're nearby. Read more
Class act, through and through. Today was my first time eating at Café Nola and it was superb; from the meal timeliness and... deliciousness, the excellent service from Maddie (I?m awful with names so if that was wrong I?m so sorry), all the way to ChefErnie coming out to personally wish me a Happy Birthday with beignets that make Café du Monde in New Orleans look like nothing.Thank you for taking such excellent care of my family and I, we all will absolutely be back.

Super surprised this place exists where it does. We had just come from Santa Rosa Beach and didn't eat this good. We ate at a... highly rated place on the beach for a lot more money and got a lot less food...and the food wasn't nearly as good as what we hadhere. I got the redfish Nola and absolutely fell in love. Everything we got was amazing. The tacos were a great choice too. Oh.And no service fee like we paid at the other place. We will definitely come back here to eat next time we're traveling through.Even the dining furniture was top notch Read more
First time in the area, & this is the Go To for night time dining!!! Not a lot to choose from open very late, so this is an easy... choice. Had the crawfish bread for appetizer, a ribeye & shrimp & grits as entrees...both DELISH!!!! Bartender was great, & evengave us a little bit of creepy but cool history of the hotel & the building itself. Awesome place!! Read more
Cafe Nola, located within the Historic DeFuniak Springs Hotel, is a great asset to our area. Chef Ernie oversees the twelve... room boutique hotel and is the master of the kitchen as he produces some of the finest Cajun Cuisine in NW Florida. It is ourgo to place and an impressive treat for our out of town guests. This is a must try! Read more
Considering I use to be a food critic and still give reviews all over the internet, this is by far the best and freshest food I... have consumed to date. The presentation was beautiful and the food was cooked to order and hot. I can only give 5 stars, yetthey deserve 10!! I cannot begin to tell you how friendly everyone was and how truly impressed I am. The flavors in the food aretrue Nola style. The atmosphere is relaxed and very sophisticated all at the same time. We will definitely be going back soon.Thank you all for a marvelous experience!!! Read more
Great service, they weren?t expecting 6 of us to roll in on a Thursday evening and they were very accommodating. The shrimp pó... boy was super dry so I drenched it in ranch to make it edible. Read more
