Café Sbisa, established in 1899 and the third oldest fine-dining establishment in the French Quarter, is proud to re-open under the direction of a new team to once again offer the highest quality French-Creole cuisine in a welcoming, historical setting that both locals and tourists will appreciate. Craig Napoli, who successfully ran the notable restaurant from 1992 - 2005 when Hurricane Katrina de

vastated the city, and Chef Alfred Singleton, who met Craig when he started working for him at the former Café Sbisa as a prep cook. Now, the unique venue will once again open its doors to serve classic local fare like Turtle Soup, Louisiana Blue Crab Cakes and BBQ Shrimp using the freshest, locally-sourced seafood and produce. While many restaurants tout “fresh and local”, Sbisa means it, as the Napoli family owns their own seafood dock and distribution business in Hopedale, Louisiana. The Sbisa team has been diligently working to renovate the notorious building directly across the street from the French Market while ensuring its old-world charm is maintained, including a hand-carved mahogany bar dating back to 1903. Patrons will still be able to view famous artist and one-time Sbisa regular George Dureau’s painting above the bar; the mural of French Quarterites including Sbisa employees, regulars and Dureau himself has shined for decades and will continue to be an artistic centerpiece. We look forward to meeting you during dinner or weekend brunch and are confident you'll walk away feeling pleasantly satisfied, having just had one of your most memorable dining experiences inside our four walls.

It is with profound sadness that we share the untimely passing of our Executive Chef and Co-Owner, Alfred Singleton.

For 25 years, Chef Alfred was the heart and soul of our restaurant. His passion, creativity, and dedication shaped not only our menu, but our identity. He built more than a kitchen—he built a family.

Beyond his remarkable skill in the kitchen, Alfred was known for his generosity, mentorship, and unwavering commitment to those around him.

We will remain open, carrying on the legacy he built with such love. We will continue forward—carrying on the vision, values, and spirit that Alfred built over the past two decades.

We are devastated by this loss and will deeply miss his presence every single day.

With heavy hearts,
The Cafe Sbisa Family
