Thank goodness brunch isn’t just for Sunday anymore. That lazy, decadent meal that allows for sleeping in late and languishing over a full plate for hours, is a New Orleans pastime — this is the birthplace of the meal, after all. Thankfully, brunch is an indulgence
that starts on Saturdays most places, and some restaurants go crazy and serve it every day of the week.
From extravagant jazz brunches to essential boozy brunches and of course, drag brunches, restaurants in NOLA take the meal seriously. To help in the difficult decision-making process as the weekend nears, the Eater New Orleans brunch heat map tracks the newest options for that special weekend meal, whether at restaurants new to the city’s dining scene or favorites launching brunch for the first time.
New to the map: The Drift Inn Diner, Succotash, Casamiro, and Safta’s Table.
