The New Orleans Menu

Saturday Lunch

Anita asks:
I am looking for a great restaurant downtown or in the French Quarter to take out-of-town friends for lunch on Saturday. It seems like most restaurants are closed for lunch on Saturday. Do you have any suggestions?

Tom sez:
You're right. Few restaurants around town offer lunch on Saturday. But the Quarter is an exception. Here's a partial list of some major restaurants open Saturdays for lunch there. (I welcome suggestions from readers about others not included here.)

Galatoire's
Bourbon House
Bayona
Red Fish Grill
Brennan's
Court of Two Sisters
Rib Room
Begue's
Palace Cafe
Marigny Brasserie
Nola
Andrea's

Also, most of the casual restaurants are open: Acme Oyster House, Mother's (CBD), Johnny's Po-Boys, Crescent City Brewhouse, Maspero's, and others.
