Cafe 601

I had no idea there was a restaurant on the 11^th floor.
That being said, I got the fried pork platter with sausage and cabbage.
The food had no flavor. The sausage tasted like a boiled hotdog. Very disappointed.
$ 7.95 for the platter. For the quality and amount I find it very overpriced.
Next time I’m in the bldg, I will give it one more chance.

Some items at this restaurant are consistently overpriced while others are priced well. I had breakfast this morning and got the items listed in the picture at the below link.


The price was ~ $ 7.50 for a small cup of yogurt with 2 tablespoons of granola on top and a ZICO coconut water (~ 2.50).
I also went on a Friday ~ 3 months ago and purchased the food pictured in the below link.
This meal consists of 8 pieces of asparagus, 1 piece of salmon, a small salad, and a vitamin water. This meal cost over $ 16.

I love Café 601. It’s on the 11^th floor of the Pan-​American Life building and is open for breakfast and lunch on business days. I’ve never had anything bad here, but I can’t say I’m too adventurous either. For breakfast, I normally get grits, eggs, and sausage; or a breakfast burrito; or a breakfast frittata with salsa.
They have do have normal daily specials typical in NOLA (RB&R on Mondays, Fried/​Baked chicken on Wednesdays, fried catfish and seafood gumbo on Fridays), but they also have burgers, other sandwiches (off the grill or from the deli), and a soup and salad bar every day. They also have a good assortment of fruits, snacks, desserts, and drinks.
The prices are kinda medium. Not too expensive for the most part, but not cheap either, depending on what you get. And the staff are super friendly and sometimes hook you up if you’re friendly back.
One major drawback is that the lines can get pretty long during the typical breakfast/​lunch hours.

spaghetti & meatballs — good
grilled chicken fettuccine alfredo — good. Would be better if they burned the chicken a little bit.
stuffed black drum — very good
sweet & spicy fried shrimp — amazingly good.
glazed salmon — very good
Nobody knows about this place because only the people work in this building eat here. Price and quality of the food were better than any place I had been to in NOLA.

5 stars across the board for 601!
Location is great for anyone and everyone working in the CBD.
Seating is ample & clean.
Food is great quality, variety & taste.
Management is doing it correct. Good website, customer service, and that is reflected in the staff (always happy & doing their job).
Catering is some of the best! Great selection, easy to order, large portions, affordable, & delivers on time.
So happy to have an option like 601 in NOLA!

11^th floor cafeteria in the Pan American Life Center. Another place I don’t want to release the secret awesomeness of but I will because I care. Too many places around CBD charge you too much for a basic salad. But If all of you come here don’t ruin it for me please. It’s a good thing. They have a weekly menu and you can sign up for it to be emailed to your inbox. You can also see the menu on their website.
