The Write-Up
Tibby's New Orleans Kitchen brings a Mardi Gras room to Aloma Avenue in Winter Park, lively and colorful, with an atmosphere guests say feels like being back in Louisiana. The gumbo is the dish people cross town for, alongside shrimp po'boys, BBQ shrimp, boudin rolls and warm beignets, with bread pudding to finish. Order a Sazerac and settle in; the room runs festive and a little loud when the live music plays, which regulars count as part of the fun.
