Best Lunch Restaurants in Lakeview/Gentilly

Cafe Degas is a lovely, romantic place with fabulous food! The service is always top notch! Looking forward to going back for another excellent meal.

Best food we had in New Orleans! Well balanced, great taste and for once (which is very rare in the US apparently), normal portion size instead of those xxxxl portions you get over here. As always a little bit expensive, but definitely worth a visit!

Reserved a table for my siblings and spouses for our yearly holiday meal together. We were a group of six. Arrived early to have some drinks in the lounge. Happy hour drinks and small plates were ordered. Service was on point and food and drinks were all delicious. Table was ready right on time. We started with two bottles of wine with help from our server. His suggestions were spot on as the wine was some of the best wines we have had previously. The food was all incredible including the octopus, meatballs, squid ink pasta, and lamb shank. Service was on point throughout the night. One nice feature we thought was unusual was the specials were communicated by the server and he stated the price of each. A nice thing to avoid sticker shock when the check arrives. All restaurants should do follow suit. Great night and will return soon.

The very large black woman who greeted us was unprofessionally and inappropriately dressed for the position she held. Then she had to have help finding our reservation that we made 3 days before. Our waitress, Ellen, was pleasant at first, but got an attitude when I asked for bread. Another wait staff stepped in to answer my question, and Ellen bristled at that. Speckled trout is my favorite fish, and I've had it many times and also cooked it myself, but the trout last night was mediocre at best, and the presentation was poor. The meal was very expensive, $245.00.

Amazing. I’ll be back. Sweet potato beignets was my purpose for coming.
