There’s nothing like the magic of a Sunday in New Orleans
About the experience:
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of gathering around the table on a Sunday afternoon, the scent of a home-cooked meal filling the air, and the warmth of loved ones sharing laughter and stories. SUNdays at Reconcile brings that very spirit to life, as we celebrate 25 years of Reconcile New Orleans' transformative workforce training program.
Inspired by the laid-back, inviting nature of New Orleans' Sunday family lunches, SUNdays at Reconcile is a dining experience that’s all about connection—community, conversation, and culture. Picture yourself seated at a communal table with friends, new and old, passing dishes of locally-inspired, family-style meals, each bite crafted with care and love.
More Than a Meal
This isn't just any Sunday lunch—it's a chance to make a lasting impact. Every meal served at SUNdays at Reconcile directly supports the next generation of talent in New Orleans. Through Reconcile’s workforce training program, young people gain the skills and experience they need to thrive in the culinary and hospitality industries. As you pass the plates, you’re also passing along opportunities for local youth to grow, learn, and build a brighter future.
What to Expect:
What to Expect: Enjoy a family-style, fixed-menu lunch inspired by seasonal flavors. Guests dine at communal tables for connection and conversation.
