Downtown Jacksonville features perhaps the highest concentration of office buildings in the entire city, with over 48,000 people working in the downtown area on any given weekday.
And once the clock starts creeping closer to noon, most of those workers are unleashed onto the downtown streets in search of lunch.
If you’ve been working downtown for a while, chances are you’ve got your daily lunch routine down already. You’ve picked your favorite spot, learned when the lines are shortest, and so on.
But what about those who have just recently joined the downtown club – or are just looking to grab lunch as they pass through downtown?
We’ve come up with a list of six of our favorite places to grab lunch in the downtown area. Check out our picks, and then let us know your favorites!
ADDRESS: 400 N. Hogan St.

MLG, the new concept from Marcus Lemonis, filled some big shoes in replacing Candy Apple Cafe in the former Seminole Club building. Its upscale New American menu is curated by locally-based Chef Roderick, and it carries on Candy Apple’s tradition of offering great cocktails as part of its full bar. And if you’re having lunch with the whole family, the family-friendly restaurant offers an extensive kids menu.
