NEW ORLEANS (press release) – Arnaud’s Restaurant announced the return of its long-anticipated Friday lunch service, inviting guests to experience a fresh take on a signature tradition that once defined midday dining at the iconic Creole restaurant. Beginning Sept. 19, Friday lunch returns to Arnaud’s for the first time since 2005, with a few new surprises in store.
While Friday lunches have become a beloved ritual across the French Quarter, Arnaud’s reimagined version adds a new layer of fun and spontaneity. With refined Creole cuisine at its core, guest can also expect playful touches, rotating themes, and moments of whimsy that make every Friday feel a little different, and distinctly Arnaud’s.
“For us, this is more than just a return to service, it’s a revival with a fresh energy,” said Katy Casbarian, co-owner of Arnaud’s. “Friday lunch at Arnaud’s has always held a special place in our hearts and in the memories of our guests. We’re excited to bring it back in a way that honors tradition while embracing the unexpected.”
Reservations are available from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and feature a curated à la carte lunch menu. Guests can expect expertly crafted cocktails, a well-curated wine list, and the gracious hospitality that has defined Arnaud’s for more than a century, with a few delightful twists along the way.
Located at 813 Bienville St. in the heart of the French Quarter, Arnaud’s currently offers dinner six nights a week and its celebrated Sunday Jazz Brunch. Beginning Sept. 19, Friday lunch will once again join the lineup. To make a reservation or explore the menu, visit www.arnaudsrestaurant.com.
