While the po’boy has a very special place in our hearts, we need to talk about sandwiches, y’all. In a city where the po’boy is king, the traditional sandwich tends to be a background player in the culinary scene in New Orleans, but not at these special spots. Here, we’ve highlighted some of our favorite sandwiches in the city and where you can find them. We’ve kept the list pretty simple: sandwiches only. No burgers, no hot dogs, no tacos… just good old-fashioned sandwiches. Except these aren’t your average sandwiches…Let’s check it out:
- Bratz Y’all

Chase Guillory/Google Bratz Y’all has been a local favorite since it opened in 2012, enchanting guests with its lush courtyard, authentic German cuisine, and a wide range of German beers and wines.
- Bywater Bakery

Bywater Bakery/Facebook This laid-back cafe in the Bywater Neighborhood has some seriously unique sandwiches on its menu. From BBQ tofu to lemon-caper tuna, these certainly aren’t your everyday sandwiches.
- Central Grocery

- Cochon Butcher

Cochon Butcher/Facebook Meat lovers, this is your spot. All of the meat is prepared in-house, from cure to cut. They even bake their own bread for their sandwiches!
- Good Bird

- St. James Cheese Company

- Turkey and the Wolf
