Cochon Butcher isn't just a fantastic butcher shop and deli hiding behind the famed Cochon - it's home to crazy good small plates , a decent bar , and the best sandwiches in town . [Eater 38 Member]

Epicurious

Saddle up to one of the shop's high-top tables and order one of Link's killer sandwiches (the house muffaletta and cold roast beef are recommended) and take a pound of andouille sausage to-go. Read more

Everything is delicious. The coppa steak special is maybe the best sandwich I've ever had. Mac & cheese is delicious. Duck pastrami sliders are so smokey and flavorful.

Serious Eats

Cochon Butcher is a wonderland for meat-lovers, the Willy Wonka Factory of delicious deli-meats, and for in our opinion, the Cold Roast Beef sandwich is the golden-ticket.

AmateurConcierge

Delicious sandwiches , which are predominately pork based. Sides were all on the mark as well . Def a great to go option as well

Kathleen Vargas

Mac and cheese is very good. Cuban,BBQ pork , and Le Pig Mac top sandwiches to try. Everyone is super friendly . Also don't be shy to ask to try their sausage . They would gladly let you sample it.

Ben K.

Incredible house cured meats and sandwiches from Donald Link. Try the smoked pastrami by the pound. Eat the muffuletta , BBQ pork sandwich , and pretty much anything else that catches your way.

Russ Gloria

It was the first time for our group of four. We picked different items and shared. Everything was delicious. Don’t be afraid to try anything. It was awesome! We will be back for more!

Kevin

Can’t go wrong with anything here, but the fried alligator , oysters in chili garlic butter , and mac n cheese were excellent to share!

Chefs Feed

This is another very legit version of boudin . It's a little murky because of the seasoning, which works perfectly with the creole mustard for dipping and the chilis on the side to make it all pop. Read more

Super cool place, with amazing burgers , nice beer selection , very good set up and bar . Butcher as well , and possible to buy tshirts, hats and bags. Prices are great. Order your food first, then enjoy.

Eduardo Halvorssen

EVERYTHING!!! We had BBQ Pork sandwich and it was amazing! We had the Cajun Pork dog and it was amazing as well !!! Would definitely come back next time I'm in New Orleans...

Mike Winston

A meat-lover's paradise. Love everything at this place, but don't miss the Fried Alligator, Fried Boudin , Rabbit & Dumplings , and Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie . Read about it on WinstonWanders below!! Read more

Dave S

This place is magic. There is no wrong option on the menu. Seriously order anything. Best old fashioned I had in New Orleans. They make their own cherries too.

Cole Kennedy

The coolest, most friendly staff ever. I could sit here all day and drink beer . If the chicken salad sandwich is on the menu, GET IT.

Rafi Syed

Overall phenomenal. Get the cochon for sure, it's like a pulled pork hamburger patty which has been pan fried. Great whiskey selection as well , which isn't so filling, so you can eat more.

CNN

Though some muffulettas are served cold, at Cochon Butcher the bread is toasted and the meats are warm, held together with a generous spread of house-made, slightly briny and bright olive salad . Read more

Pete

Had the pork belly sandwich . Really good, the meat was tender and the sandwich was flavorful. Wish it was a little bit bigger and had a different type of bread . The bread can get soggy fast

Virginia Thomas

Le Pig Mac , Muffaletta , Cajun Dog, Smoked Turkey , Pimento Sliders , Moroccan Spiced Lamb , and Brisket Sliders are all amazing. I suspect even more is, but these are what I've tried. A must visit.

Aubrey Littleton

Excellent sandwiches & other food. If you go to the WWII Museum , this is a good place to break for a bite to eat. And if you have more exhibits to see, you can pop right back into the museum after.

J. Francisco Partida

Wow, great Deli in the warehouse district. A friend recommended the place and it did not disappoint. Friendly and quick service , fantastic delicious food. Must try.

Eater

A James Beard Award winning restaurant run by two James Beard Award winning chefs , there’s no surprise Cochon is among the best restaurants in town . [Eater 38 Member]

Ana Prato

I really recommend the smoked turkey sandwich . Bought 1lb smoked turkey (delicious), a package of 4 boudin sausages(VERY hot) plus a slice of lemon cheesecake(really really good)

Lorenzo

The best meal I had in New Orleans, and it was a simple sandwich . Pork belly on toasted white bread is transcendent. Service was spectacular. Go here. Don't fear the lines - they move quickly.

Tina Lafferty

Get the sweet and spicy brisket sliders , Brussel Sprouts , homemade chips and the must have libation, the Honey Boo Boo. Just delicious! Great ambiance and worth coming out to. Loved it

Shawn Calhoun

One of everything please! The smoked ham hock was amazing. One of the best restaurants in NoLa.... but the service was sub-par....bordering on plain old frosty.

Vanessa T

Delicious custom cured and smoked meats and Southern comforts . Had the muffaletta , mac and cheese , brussels and boudin and everything was tasty and fresh. Definitely need to come back and try more!

Ignaura Tejeda

We had the Muffaletta and the Moroccan Spiced Lamb . They were both great! The Muffaletta was enough to share. Ordered a side of potatoes salad and loved it.

Stephen Smythe

Links casual venture situated next Cochon has a poo culture atmosphere highlight by uniquely named drinks and butcher shop favorites with a twist. Try Rock'n Rye and the Sweet Potato Jalapeño sauce

Eater

Calling itself a "butcher shop and swine bar ," they serve the best muffuletta in town and some damn good boudin . Everything else is good, too. [Eater 38 Member]

Amy Graff

The casual sibling of Cochon shines with takeaway items, incredible sandwiches , decadent desserts , unique regional sodas , beers , and cocktails . Love the brussels sprouts ! Quick, attentive service .

Erin Schulte Collier

Can't miss menu items: the fried rabbit livers with pepper jelly and mint and the okra . If you need a break from booze, great fresh lemonade and Abita root beer on tap .

Adrian Phillips

Muffuletta , Cajun Dog, coleslaw and brussels sprouts were spot on. Be sure to try the sweet potato habanero hot sauce if you need an extra kick on your tasty sandwich . Great lunch spot in New Orleans

ThisGirlCanEat

NoLa must for authentic Southern eats & soul food classics. Belly up to the bar for well-mixed cocktails , try the ribs w/ pickled watermelon & don't miss the Louisiana Cochon. You can thank me later.

Christina Macias

It gets pretty busy here but worth the wait. It's owned and run by the next door restaurant , Cochin, where Butcher is the more casual restaurant . You can eat in or order to go. Everything is delicious

Benn Egan

This place is awesome. Tried the Brussels sprouts , Mac and cheese , cubano , muffuletta , and pork belly sandwich . All were great. Skip the muffuletta unless you love 'em. Other options are better.

Michael Cassis

Great place, pig mac is a must. Mortadella and the mac and cheese were great too!

Kaitlin

Just unbelievably good. All homemade , such friendly staff , and yummy food. I sat in between two locals at the bar , one of whom eats there almost every day. Definitely legit!

Travis Murdock

Really amazing. I had the pork chop and red beans . Never tasted that flavor in beans before. Also polished off an order of Mac and cheese . Epic!

PureWow

This NOLA hot spot makes sandwiches with a Cajun slant. Order the Muffaletta , which is sliced capicola , mortadella , salami and provolone on a fluffy sesame seed bun . Read more

From Frommer's, one of our expert reviewers: "All hail Cochon chef Stephen Stryjewski ... We do believe he fires on porcine synapses, as he has an effortless way with all things pork ." -On TripExpert Read more

Muffaletta wich. Takeout lunch joint with an extensive sandwich menu. Around the corner from the famed Cochon, Cochon Butcher is a beer/wine bar and meat market combination in the Warehouse District.

Keith Kerr

An upscale new american butcher in the lower garden . Open seating and large windows . The Bacon oyster sandwich was amazing.

Tiran Dagan

I had the ryals pit smoked ham sandwich with thin onion rings and a light mayo based sauce. My wife had the pull pork sliders and said she could eat teM all day long! Love their sweet potato hot sauce

BuzzFeed

You’re not living right if you HAVE NOT tried boudin , yet. Get the best in town at Cochon Butcher. Chef’s also won a James Beard Award! Read more

Steve Goyette

Looking for a quick dinner , off the French Quarter and walked into this place. One of the best decisions I've had in NOLA. Truly delicious meal and a great spot to just sit and enjoy.

Nicole Cheramie

When it comes to the quirky there's no place that's more fun than Cochon Butcher. With high quality meats from the upscale restaurant next door & names like Le Pig Mac , you'll be full and entertained.

david chang

favorite restaurant in new orleans. roasted oysters , rabbit & dumplings , fried alligator . great bar scene...all the meat courses are tasty but the vegetables & sides are highly underrated. so good

Ken Hicks

Mac-n- Cheese & Brussel Spouts, Yes, the Brussel Spouts! The Cubano sandwich is great!

Caitlin Mae Burke

My heart weeps when I realize I live 1k+ miles away from here. At Cochon: cheeks, fire roasted oysters , and the perfect oyster bacon sandwich . Butcher is HIP - bacon melt was the stuff of dreams.
