I'll be in Nola in a few weeks and need a good/cool place for LUNCH. I don't care if they offer brunch as well but I'm not a big brunch fan. I feel like the B team kitchen are the ones working Sunday's, therefore...brunch. I got a table for Achafalaya but I've done that so many times already I'd like to try something different. No disrespect because they are very good.

I am open to ideas or inspiration.....Thank you food board...

Patois would be an excellent choice.

I had an advert for Sun Chong pop on my feed showing Gumbo dumplings. Looked good to me, but I've never eaten there.

If the weather is nice, a table outside at Lola’s. If you’d rather French bistro, cafe degas across the street. Both are worlds better than any “brunch” menu you are likely to find

Atchafalaya is always solid in my opinion. I haven't been to the new location of Tito's on St. Charles (RIP St Charles Tavern), but their old location was amazing.

Commander’s and Galatoire’s are my two favorites.

Brennan’s is next.

Windsor Court Grill Room has good lunch specials.

Liuzza’s on Bienville street has been continuously operating since 1947. A historic building originally constructed from the steel of world war two battle ships, the locale is home to the finest Italian Creole cuisine in New Orleans.
The classic menus has remained intact for 76 years and features staples such as the Eggplant Napoleon, Beet Salad, and a variety of pastas with the our famous Red Gravy. The Frenchuletta which was invented and trademarked decades ago, is another staple. The award winning sandwich is often imitated but never duplicated. We introduced a true Brooklyn style pizza to the menu, as well as the must have Liuzza’s original wings.


Mandina’s, Italian and Seafood, too good!

Mandina’s

I’m in BR so I’m in Nola frequently and I think I’ve been almost everywhere. I usually avoid the FQ but this time I am staying at the Monteleone on a Saturday night for a wedding. so my initial thought was to do a traditional Sunday brunch in the FQ something like BRENNANS. Someone in my party said they would rather keep it more local like Uptown or mid city. not really looking for any certain type of food but more atmosphere and want to keep it fairly upscale but not Commander’s level. I like glass’s rec for Patois. Lola’s too.

I’d add if I am going downtown or CBD I’d want to hit somewhere with a tasting menu, like Emeril’s.

Osterio lupo is pretty good and they have a brunch/lunch mix menu if I recall and wander around magazine for a bit
