Restaurant Review: Zeeland Street Market

Home to the all-too-elusive plate lunch, piping hot daily specials and Southern classics, as well as even more elusive vegetarian or healthy lunch options, Zeeland Street Market is a lot of things to a lot of people. Sitting at the edge of the Garden District, Hundred Oaks and the sundry vintage neighborhoods saddling LSU and the University Lakes to the north, this family-owned breakfast and lunch joint is a long-standing fresh-food tradition. But it is one that is not standing still. Plans are under way to transform part of the restaurant into an art gallery and hangout space with couches, free wi-fi and a wall lined with new work by local artists. Daily lunch specials rotate on and off the menu, but Zeeland Street’s breakfast biscuit sandwiches, chuck burgers, pot roast po-boys, hashbrowns—with all the trimmings—salads and more are welcome regulars.
