Best Lunch Spots in New Orleans

Whether you’re getting out of the office or meeting friends over the weekend, everyone needs a good lunch spot. This week, we’re sharing a few of our favorite lunch spots around the city no matter what the day or occasion. 

Cochon Butcher

Pretzels, charcuterie boards and sandwiches? How can it get any better?

La Boulangerie

The perfect quick bite stop on Magazine Street! Go for brunch or lunch and grab a delicious pastry on the way out.

Li'l Dizzy's Cafe

If you want a lunch full of quintessential New Orleans food, this is the place to go! (And if you’re reading this during the final Jazz Fest weekend, head over to their stand.)

St. James Cheese Company CBD

Whether in the CBD or on Magazine Street, this is a perfect lunch spot for salads and sandwiches.

Stein's Market and Deli

When you need a quick, affordable and satisfying lunch Stein’s is a great go-to. We haven’t had a sandwich yet that we didn’t love.

Toups Meatery

It’s a classic and we always love a reason to support Amanda and Issac Toups!

Val's

Tacos and queso for lunch? Sign us up! Plus, there are a ton of spots along Freret that are perfect for any occasion. Head to one for lunch and another for dinner!
