Brunch/Lunch in FQ on Saturday?

[pitterpat7]

We are hosting family in May for graduation weekend and I need suggestions for an early lunch or brunch place in the French Quarter or CBD before graduation that day at 4pm. I already am planning on Commander's Palace for another day. I was thinking Court of Two Sisters since some family members have never been to New Orleans. Does anyone know the cost of the Jazz Brunch Buffet? Is it still around $28 per person?

Does anyone else have suggestions for lunch or brunch in the FQ for a party of 6-7 people? I would like to do something more Creole/Cajun rather than just sandwiches or burgers. Thank you!

Yikes, sorry pitterpat. I saw the 4pm time and thought that was the time you were looking to eat. Sometimes postings are read in a hurry when one is at work . . . when they are supposed to be working . . . LOL.

You could also try Bacco on Chartes Streeet for an early lunch. They open at 11:30 am. Or Muriel's in Jackson Square. They also open at 11:30.

Just to clarify, we're eating at 11am, not 4pm! I already have a dinner place picked out so I was looking for early lunchtime suggestions in the FQ. Thank you all!

pitterpat7, You made yourself perfectly clear (to most of us anyway) in your initial posting. No apology necessary.

I'd take them to Galatoire's. Mid-afternoon is the perfect time to go and I think it is the quintessential New Orleans Creole dining experience. If you don't drink a bunch of alcohol, ot won't set you back too much.

Bayona, 430 Dauphine in the FQ, would be perfect. Saturday lunch hours are 11:30am-2:30pm. Enjoy! http://www.bayona.com/flash_content/b...

pitterpat7 is looking for lunch, brunch not dinner. I would suggest Mr. B's, Galatoire's, I like the brunch at the Rib Room

Bronwen - 4PM is not lunch nor brunch time to me . . . early dinner.

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. I should have said we're going to brunch or lunch at 11am.
