Best Lunch Restaurants in French Quarter

Wonderful food and experience. We arrived early before the normal lunch rush. Service was excellent. Or course we had the bread puddling, which you order when you first meet your wait staff. It takes time to make.

Our waitress was great . The food was excellent, very flavorful. I recommend this restaurant!

We had a great meal at Justine. The green salad, shrimp and grits, and peppermint sundae were delicious. It was a colder night in New Orleans ( 57 degrees on Christmas Eve). I don’t know if they don’t have heat in the restaurant but I wished I had a coat on and the couple next to us complained about the cold and kept their down jackets on all night. It really was not that cold but I was surprised.

Brennan’s Jazz Brunch in New Orleans is a vibrant, elegant experience steeped in tradition. The menu dazzles with creative twists on Creole classics, from Eggs Sardou to turtle soup, paired with impeccable cocktails. Live jazz fills the air, creating the perfect ambiance for a leisurely, unforgettable meal. Service was inviting , par excellence! warm and informative, attentive and caring. Memories made tableside ❤️

As always Antoine's was excellent. Antoine's is the #1 fine dining experience available anywhere in New Orleans, and it has never disappointed. My wife and I have been coming here for 27 years and have enjoyed each visit. The staff was professional, courteous, and easy to summon if we had a request for something. They have a pride in their establishment that comes across in their dealings with customers. Very few restaurants, even in New Orleans, can say that any longer. Russell and Roland were both consummate professionals and took exceptionally good care of us. And it was great to see Charles Carter again. Charles waited on us on our first visit 27 years ago and many times since, and has always made sure we're taken care of. The Reveillon menu dishes were prepared perfectly and were delicious as always. I was pleasantly surprised to see a NY Strip as a choice for the main course and both my wife and I received our steaks cooked perfectly. We even had a special request for dessert and it was handled with no problems. If you're coming to New Orleans, Antoine's is a must. How many restaurants can say they have been in business with the same family since 1840? I hope to still be around to enjoy a visit in their 200th anniversary year in 2040.
