St. James Cheese Company is a gourmet artisan cheese shop that also happens to do a very good lunch/light dinner. Located on Prytania in the Garden District and in the Warehouse district at 641 Tchoupitoulas close to the convention center, St. James is a locals' fave with good reason. Besides all things fromage, including regular cheese tastings, this beloved cheese shop features sandwiches like duck confit banh mi, classic Cuban, burrata salad, charcuterie, and even a cheese bar for nibbling and small bites. Wine and beer is also served, and if you're in a rush for one or the other, there are two lines, one for ordering from the menu, the other for the cheese case. Thursdays through Saturdays they host a happy hour where visitors can pair cheese plates and wine/beer for discounted dollars. This place is a cheese lover's dream.
