So finally, SE made the stats visible on foods! That being said, there is still a LONG list of them, and it's still daunting to go food shopping. Therefore KK's created this handy little list.
Keep in mind, food still has 'stat' caps. So typically, the higher % boost you get, the lower ranked the food item. I tried to organize from low level-high level. The *best* foods for capped players will be in BOLD. Also, if I think a dish is worth mentioning for other reasons, it'll be in italics. ALL food grants an exp bonus.
Tank Foods(Paladin or GLA/MRD occasionally PGL) These foods typically boost DEF or base HP's. Boiled Egg- HP+ 15% (up to 30) Mustard Eggs- HP+10% (up to 70) Deviled Eggs- HP+ 6% (up to 180) Apkallu Omelette HP=5% (up to 220) Flatbread- Def+13% (up to 15) VIT +7% (up to 3) Walnut Bread Def+11% (up to 22) VIT +5% (up to 4) Honeymuffin Def+11% (up to 22)DEX +5% (up to 4) Cornbread Def+9% (up to 32) DEX +4% (up to 5) Dark Pretzel Def+9% (up to 30) VIT +4% (up to 5) Acorn Cookie Def+8% (up to 41) VIT +3% (up to 6) Knights Bread Def+8% (up to 41) Dex+3% (up to 6) La Noscan Toast Def+7% (up to 51) VIT+3% (up to 7) Finger Sandwiches Def+7% (up to 51) DEX+3% (up to 7)
Notes: Egg dishes might be cheap and effective for basic exp/sb parties. Also, while +VIT always makes sense +DEX could help you avoid getting hit in the first place.
Melee DD Foods (to be broken down by job/class)
Warrior MRD/ or DD GLA Aldgoat Steak- Attack Power +9% (up to 30) STR +4% (up to 5) Shepherd's Pie- Attack Power +9% (up to 32) Crit. Att +10 Smoked Raptor- Attack Power +8% (up to 41) STR +3% (up to 6)

Att +10 Spinach Saute- EVA+8% (up to 20) Gathering+16% INT +4(upto 5) Sauerkraut- EVA+7% (up to 25) Gathering+ 14% INT+3 (up to 6)
Notes: All of the Basic DD food would work for Monk/PGL as well however, the Eva+INT gathering foods are also something to consider.

Notes: Apple Tarts are probably the most balanced Mage-stat food (good if you need to heal/buff/nuke i.e CNJ/exp parties). Also, while juices are mostly for Mag craft, they could be great for exp/sb parties or situations where a little extra MP would be nice.
Healer/Support Mage Foods (White Mage/CNJ) Chanterelle Saute-Mag Acc+13% (up to 7) Mind+6% (up to 3) Forest Miq'abobs-Mag Acc+9% (up to 16) Mind+5% (up to 4) ButtonsMushSaute-Mag Acc+7% (up to 32) Mind+3% (up to 7) Orange Juice- MP+15% (up to 30) Mag Craft. +20% (up to 5) Grape Juice- MP+10% (up to 50) Mag Craft +18% (up to 7) Apple Juice- MP+7% (up to 120) Mag Craft. +14% (up to 12) Mulled Tea- MP+6% (up to 160) Mag Craft +12% PIE +3 Pineapple Juice- MP+5% (up to 190) Mag Craft +12% (up to 15)
