Cafe Reconcile

Exterior of Cafe Reconcile in Central City, New Orleans

Central City

Why it matters: Cafe Reconcile is a nonprofit that trains young people from underserved neighborhoods in restaurant and hospitality work, with your lunch tab supporting the program. The food is honest Creole comfort cooking: white beans, fried catfish, shrimp and grits, all at fair prices. Service is earnest because you are often being helped by students learning on the job.
