Alexander's Highland Market

It was the fresh sushi and a sit down restaurant that brought me in. The market had a fancy vibe in it with the handwriting title to every section. The food looked like they were mostly organic and locally grown. The prepared food looked great. I was about to try out the potato soup but couldn?t find any cheaper option other than a $7.99 small container. Yike! I ended up not getting any because it was too expensive for a cup of soup. They seemed to have everything here. The milk was oddly hidden behind the numerous selections of wine bottles. I just bought a few items which were about the same price as Walmart and left. Anyway, my friend and I will be back to try more prepared food.

5 stars for the king cakes and the level of service we got from the ladies behind the desk. They helped us choose the best ones and really showed interest in what we were looking for. Pictures are Strawberry Shortcake and Recces.

Friday's lunches are a secret here. Best fried fish and Shrimp...both are $7.99 per pound if you get something in addition to the fish/shrimp. If not, only fish and/or shrimp are $9.99 per pound, but still a great bargain. Some of best staffing in Baton Rouge.... Come around 12:15 on Fridays and you will probably see me there...get some fresh gelato to clean the palette.

Awesome spot for local shopping. Fair prices. Many in store prepared dishes already cooked or take home and cook options. Friendly and courteous staff. The store is extremely clean and welcoming. Wine selection is also great. Will definitely visit again.

Great store! Very clean and I 'm in love with the wine selection. I deducted a star because being listed as a gourmet grocery I expected a better selection of cheese and Italian meats. Also, the bakery had a lack luster selection of breads. No ciabatta, focaccia, or good crusty bread. The produce was very minimal as well. I needed habanero peppers and they don 't carry much besides jalapenos. I was also hoping they had raw Italian hot and mild chicken sausage links. The only place I can find them since moving to Ascension, is 40 minutes away at Whole Foods and it isn 't even that good. So many items I could find at every store near me before I moved and now I have to travel far and wide. Being a foodie, the struggle is real! Hahaha....
