50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Baton Rouge

“My wife and I have been to Chow Yum multiple times, we have always had a great experience with staff and the food! This is one of the best restaurants in Baton Rouge!“

“Willie’s has been a favorite since they were a little hole in the wall in Industiplex. I was so disappointed Friday to order crawfish and get 3 pounds of tiny crawfish that peeled and tasted like they had been boiled the day before and reheated. Plus when the crawfish were gone there were enough tiny claws to cover the bottom of the tray. Come on guys, you can do better! Fried cheese logs are no longer logs. They have shrunk in size but not price. Really disappointing…new management? Not sure but won’t go back for crawfish, that’s for sure!“

“This is not exactly my kind of restaurant. Friend recommended it and I eat here every chance I get now. The Korean pork belly sliders are my favorite. The menu was a little overwhelming just because I’m not familiar with the food they provide. But, this is an excellent choice if you are visiting.“

“This young lady (who wasn’t our server) went above and beyond for my family. My daughter was obsessed with her and she was the sweetest! So very kind and friendly ! We had to get a picture with her !“

“My first time here at J.Alexander's. So worth the trip from Lafayette. My entire meal has been remarkable. I ordered the red wine blend Parradoxx, which had a slight Pinot Nior flavor to it. I ordered a house salad with Blue Cheese dressing which was rich and full of woodsy flavors. My salad was a big hit with me. Vegetables were crisp and served with beautiful presentation. I ordered the Filet with Berinaise sauce and baked potatoe. It was cooked so perfectly that it was truly a work of art. For dessert I got the chocolate cake. I am not usually a chocolate fan at all but this did not disappoint!! The rich cocoa blended perfectly with the vanilla ice cream. Now for the service... my waiter, Ali, was so good. His knowledge of the menu was very good, but his quiet professionalism was undeniable. He checked all the boxes as to dressings and preparation, but he additionally checked for how and when you wanted everything served. Ali, eyes were constantly scanning to be certain that my meal and needs were being met. Now, I don't know anything about Ali, except that he was young, but he could have been at home in the finest restaurants in Chicago! His attention to detail made my incredible lunch even more spectacular! An incredible meal, prepared exquisitely, with a waiter like Ali! Just absolutely perfect!“

“Very hip and creative dining experience.“

“Great service, wonderful food and a beautiful view.“

“Dynesha is an awesome server. She has such a happy spirit. She kept a smile on her face and took the best care of me!“

“The food and service was excellent. Thank you Thomas“

“Went for a 4 po-boy takeout and a 5 piece wings . They were very helpful and called me before to verify an item and order was ready before I got there and service was great. Softshell poboy was perfectly cooked and delicious . The cochon de lait was fabulous and the buffalo chicken sandwich was excellent.

My two gripes for the 4 star were the wings were tiny and I like big wings if I'm gonna spend that much . Second gripe is if I spend $100 on an orderr and tip you could throw me a french fries in there as none of the poboys come witth fries.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“I went to Ruby Slipper for my birthday this past Sunday. The food was delicious & so were the drinks. Service could have been a little faster, other than that, I'd recommend it to everyone.“

“I had brunch on yesterday with a friend and Christa was our waitress. She was beyond amazing and is very good at her job. Definitely would request her as my waitress again.“

“Erin, Kelsey, Shelly, and Cat were amazing! We had a Christmas party that went from 20 people initially to 40 people and they adjusted and made it wonderful! A week later and everyone is still talking about how great the service, atmosphere, and food all were. I’d give them 10 stars if I could!“

“Food was great and Baylie was awesome! Ask for her next time you go!“

“What a fabulous place to enjoy lunch! My sister and I shared the crab cake sandwich and the Creamy Tasso Pasta with blackened shrimp. Every bite was excellent! We also had the soup of the day - Butternut squash with crab - also so delicious & full of crabmeat!“

“Ruth’s Chris Steak House – Baton Rouge, LA

If you’re looking for a consistently amazing dining experience, Ruth’s Chris in Baton Rouge never disappoints. The food is absolutely top-notch, every dish is prepared with care, but the star of the show is always the steak. No matter how many times I go, it’s always cooked to perfection, just the way I like it. That kind of consistency is rare, and it keeps me coming back.

The service is just as impressive. The waitstaff is respectful, attentive, and genuinely helpful without ever feeling overbearing. The bartenders know what they’re doing too, friendly, professional, and they make a great drink.

One of my favorite things about this location is the atmosphere. The lighting is dim and cozy, creating a relaxed, intimate vibe that makes dinner feel like an occasion. I really appreciate that kind of environment, no harsh lights, no distractions, just great food and a calm space to enjoy it in.

Overall, it’s one of the few places where the food, service, and setting all line up to create a truly enjoyable evening every time. Highly recommend.“

You won’t be disappointed!“

“Great food and great service! Ask for Tye, and she’ll make your experience great!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Say with Essen great service“

“My husband and I have been going to Stabs in Central for many years. We normally go on Sunday for brunch (because of babysitter availability) but we were able to go for dinner last night to celebrate our anniversary. When I tell you the flat iron steak we had was 100% PERFECT, I’m not exaggerating. Temp was perfect. Cut was perfect. Flavor was perfect. French onion soup was perfect. Thank you, David, Kori and everyone else who played a hand in our most recent experience. Y’all are amazing!!“

“Low price food considering today's economy. Very tasteful and very hot and fresh. You definitely get your money's worth I love this place I'm currently about to eat here for the second time.Shrimp fried riceSweet and sour shrimpFried donuts“

“Always a 10/10 experience at Zorba’s. Baton Rouge is BLESSED to have such an amazing local establishment. Thank you Zorba’s for always cultivating an atmosphere for friends to gather and sharing such great food and drink! Forever will be top on my list of places to go to in the city!“

“Now i don’t really leave good reviews but this place was amazing i was a little skeptical with the prices and some things i’ve never tried but once i got my food i devoured it. was suppose to share with my girl but tht shit was gone in like 30 seconds top tier food. and my server dustin (i think thts his name) was amazing he was very helpful with the menu answering all our questions about what this and that. i never order anything to go but food was so good i had too. 10/10 i will recommend this place to people“

“Always the BEST! The food, service and Margaritas are Excellent!!!“

“Our friends from Baton Rouge brought us an Australian couple to Parrain for some authentic Cajun seafood. I'd been recommended to try catfish and it did not disappoint. So fresh and tasty, accompanied with shrimp, that was also crispy and fried to perfection. My husband had the New Orleans BBQ shrimp, but was unsure of the spicyness of the sauce, so a sample was brought out for him to try before he ordered, he said it was delicious.“

“We had an incredible experience at Portobello’s Grill . The staff and food were incredible. They helped accommodate my daughter’s birthday party and without a doubt, met her expectations. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to hold an event.“

“A must in New Orleans' climate to enjoy your backyard!“

“Excellent atmosphere. Excellent service. The food was AMAZING! It was a very busy mid morning, but worth every minute. The bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit is now my favorite, with a side of chocolate chip pancakes! Can’t wait to go back!“

“A great place for coffee, breakfast, or lunch“

“Outstanding in all aspects! We got to town a little late & stopped in just for a lite bite & drinks. The oysters, black and blue tips & wine were so wonderful we returned after business the next night to try more. Round 2 included the Feta Whipped Brussels, Creole French dip & Duck + Butter beans. Again everything was fantastic!! Thank you to Brian, Sadie, Seth & everyone for the wonderful service & evening 🍷🥂😘“

“Brian the server and young architect: My wife and I have worked in fine dining, Ruth's Chris and Brennan's, New Orleans; most servers find a way to irk me and disappoint. Brian's service was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and friendly without getting in the way of our date.

Food: You can scarcely complain about any of the creole and New Orleans fusion served at Eliza; we have been loyal in particular for the gluten free fried seafood. For such a high quality place, however, I was disappointed to learn they are still using the industrial biproduct, "vegetable" oil, in their fryer instead of beef tallow or at least refined peanut oil (which does *not* cause allergic reactions).

I selfishly hope Eliza's can commit to clean oils in their kitchen, so they can once again be our go-to for fried seafood and perfect destination to show out of town friends a refined but casual experience of excellent south Louisiana fare.“

“Food was good - manager visited me which is a rarity in the Louisiana market for some reason- restaurant was very clean just dust in the ceiling vents- but my bartender was the highlight. I will go back just to sit and chat with Amber. As a regional manager for a restaurant group, I was impressed all around with her attentiveness that close to close. As a younger female no one ever speaks to me besides to take my order and she got to know me and made me feel welcome! She’s sweet as can be, I wish her all the best!“

“Service was fast, food was great! We will be back“

“The food was great! We had shrimp op boys with fries. Everything tasted good and the server was very friendly.“

“Friendly staff and delicious food❤️ Food is always served fresh and taste and is booming with flavor!! Definitely one of BR's hidden gems 💎 🌮🌯“

“I don’t know if anyone reads anything from this site but I wanted to post a rave for the Baton Rouge location. My mom was transferred into hospice care on the day I ate at your restaurant. It was a horrible day until the nicest server/waitress I have ever had sat us down. She couldn’t have known what we were going through or how much she brightened our day. She was pregnant, I know that. Otherwise I don’t remember her name. One of those days I guess. She just had this light about her and when she smiled Everything seemed a little better. I think God put her there at that moment. Hopefully she will be there the next time we go. But if not I was posting this to tell her thankyou for being you. And good luck with your pregnancy. You are going to be an awesome mom. You are full of light and love. May God bless you abundantly.“

“Been going here for years. Love it! Our favourite sushi place. Recommend Baked Salmon appetizer, Lacy, Leo and Katsumoto rolls.“

“I 1000% must say that this is by far my favorite restaurant in town and I would recommend it to all persons searching for an amazing healthy choice for eating either lunch or dinner !

Vegetarian options: Green beans, broccoli and cauliflower are all available!

Parking: There is a Starbucks located directly across the parking lot!“

“All of your food was made fresh as we ordered…served hot and with a smile! Great atmosphere and great service!! Will definitely be referring friends and family! We will be returning frequently!! 10/10“

“I love albasha.. I’ve tried two separate times to go to bluebonnets location. Food is great. Employees not so much. Today was the Second time a young lady named “Angelica” has gave me attitude . Cut me off. Made rude facial expressions and Slick comments. As a person in the restaurant business. I know some days aren’t the best. Inside or out side of work. But No one deserves to be treated a certain way because it’s a “bad day” . It hasn’t just been 1 time either. Also seemed like the other employees are used to her behavior. Love the food. Hate the service :)“

“I just want to share how amazing you all's food is! We just had lunch at our office and a rep ordered plate lunches from you all and it was delicious. I feel like I was back home at my parents in country. Gravy and rice was the best and meat was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Will visit soon.“

“Nice clean Waffle House the service was fast the food was Yummy . Will be back one day !“
