Too often, we don’t celebrate lunch as it should be. Sure, you could just make a sandwich yourself or just grab something quick from a neighborhood eatery, but what’s the fun in that when you could treat yourself to a 3-course lunch from some of the most talented chefs in the country? Antoine’s has one of the best lunch menus in New Orleans, and it won’t put a dent in your wallet, either. Win-win! Let’s take a closer look.

Established in 1840, Antoine’s not only the oldest restaurant in New Orleans, but also the oldest family-run restaurant in the country.

Now run by 5th generation family members, it all started with Antoine Alciatore, a young 18-year old from France who moved to New Orleans from New York with the hoped to create the restaurant of his dreams.
Located in the heart of the French Quarter, it’s hard not to be impressed when you walk into such a historic building like this one.
