Overall I'd go with Kneads.

Question is too generic though - what type of lunch are you looking for? Personally prefer Don Memo to Bartaco, but they are very different types of places (and Don Memo is only open for lunch Fri-Sun). Layla's Falafel or Gaetano's Deli are good for take out. Romanacci is my favorite pizza in town, but plenty of good pizza and Italian food around. I never found any of the Asian spots in Westport to be great, but Kawa Ni and Rainbow Thai are solid. Organika if you need vegan. Granola Bar or Terrain are good if you need instagram girl vibes. Haven't been to La Plage so can't comment on the food, but can't imagine it doesn't have the best views.

It's for a gift, he just started working in the area. Life's pizza, sandwiches and salads and doesn't seem too adventurous

That's sweet of you! I'd probably go with Layla's then. Good prices and not too heavy or adventurous for lunch. Maybe Kneads if they work on the west side. It's just more expensive, so a gift probably isn't going to go as far there. If your friend is working in northern Westport or Weston, Dilly Duck in Norwalk could be an option too (although it seems like they have egift cards turned off on their toast shop).

Work lunch always makes me think of Panera style food (like pre 2017 before it was bought and became terrible) - which Aux Delices is probably the closest to that, but it's not groundbreaking.
