Locals Pick: Best Baton Rouge Brunch
"As if the food at Beausoleil weren’t enough fun, there is also the challenge of pronouncing its name. This incredible restaurant was the brainchild of four different families, who came together with the intent of creating fantastic Louisiana cuisine. They are one of the best places for a more upscale lunch in Baton Rouge, with a juicy curried chicken salad sandwich, po-boys of oyster, shrimp or catfish, sautéed gulf fish and, of course, fried Louisiana catfish."
"At Beausoleil Restaurant and Bar, Sunday brunch is served in style, with their locally-sourced dishes served alongside locally sourced artists. Located on Jefferson Highway, they serve Sunday brunch from 11 am until 3 pm. Check out their variety of food: soups, salads and sandwiches, including their Croque Monsieur and Shredded Pork Po-Boy."
"You can literally use your spare change here since everything on the breakfast menu is under $5. They offer savory and sweet options, to satisfy your meat-loving and low-cal fresh fruit needs. Average meal price: $3"
"Located at the back of The Market at Circa 1857, this little cafe is a great spot for an outdoor lunch or weekend brunch in the Mid City area!"
"Counter Culture Frozen Yogurt has been a Baton Rouge staple since it first opened its doors in 1977. They offer creative and mouth-watering flavors, including Toasted Coconut, Georgia Peach, and Green Tea. We recommend mixing one of their daily flavors in with a sundae, like the Humphrey Yogart, which is a sundae topped with bananas, strawberries, grapes, granola, and honey."
"Wake up to the best of the season's harvest every Saturday morning. Join Baton Rouge locals and experience the wide selection at the Red Stick Farmer’s Market for yourself!. Every Saturday, the Market opens rain or shine with over 50 vendors that include Louisiana's small family farmers and artisans."

"The final sight to see during your visit to the Capitol Park is the Capitol Park Museum. After you’ve gotten yourself oriented to the layout of Baton Rouge from the top of the State Capitol Building, this is the place to come to learn about the history of Louisiana, from the Native Americans and early settlers, right through to Louis Armstrong and Huey Long. The museum really does cover a lot, and you could easily spend half a day or more in here seeing all their is to see."
"There’s no shortage of museums in Baton Rouge, but one of the best is the Capitol Park Museum, which looks at the history of Louisiana back to the days of Native Americans. The museum’s two permanent exhibits, Nation and Experiencing Louisiana: Discovering the Soul of America, and Grounds for Greatness: Louisiana, are worth the price of admission alone. Much of the history you’ll see at the museum is visual."
"We suggest heading to Capitol Park Museum (Louisiana State Museum)!. Indulge in Louisiana history and culture!. The Capitol Park Museum is a branch of the Louisiana State Museum."
