50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Destrehan

“I want to start this review with complete honesty — our experience with Ormand Manor began a little rocky. Early on, we faced some communication challenges and were unsure how things would come together. But then everything changed when the venue made some personnel updates and we were introduced to Boyd, our new director. From that moment forward, it was like night and day.

Boyd is, in every sense of the word, phenomenal. Professional, attentive, and genuinely caring, he went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. We have worked with a lot of people in our lives, but we've rarely been so impressed by someone’s level of dedication and calm under pressure. He truly bent over backwards for us — every question was answered, every detail was handled, and every small request was met with a smile and a solution.

On our actual wedding day, I didn’t have to look around, worry, or ask what was next — the Ormand Manor team had it all under control. I felt completely at peace knowing everything was being handled with care and precision. And it wasn’t just Boyd; the entire staff operated like a well-oiled machine, ensuring that every part of the day flowed perfectly.

What really stood out was how they handled the weather. It rained right up until about 30 minutes before our ceremony. Most venues would have defaulted to the backup plan, but Boyd and his team jumped into action the moment the skies cleared. They moved chairs, reset everything, and somehow turned our dream of an outdoor wedding into a beautiful reality — all without missing a beat. Watching them work together so quickly and professionally left us absolutely speechless.

From catering to coordination, every single detail was handled with flexibility, kindness, and a genuine desire to make our day special. They didn’t just meet expectations — they far exceeded them.

We will forever be grateful to Boyd, Vickey, and the entire Ormand Manor staff for giving us a wedding day that felt effortless, elegant, and completely unforgettable. What started off uncertain became one of the most beautifully executed days of our lives, all thanks to this incredible team.

If you’re considering Ormand Manor for your wedding — do it. And if you get the pleasure of working with Boyd, know that you’re in the absolute best hands.“

“So overall I love the food here. Never had a problem until today (unfortunately today was the wrong day to set me off). There are 2 condiments/toppings I can not stand and will ruin anything I eat because you can’t just wipe it off and that Sour cream and MUSTARD!!!!! I can not figure out how “Mayo, Lettuce and Ketchup ONLY” translates to MUSTARD, Lettuce and Ketchup!!!! The words Mustard and Mayo don’t even begin to sound the same except for the M. And it wasn’t a little mustard. The bun was SOAKED with it. Call them and wanted me to come back in so they could remake it while the rest of my family’s can eat theirs. I’m glad they didn’t put it on my 6yrs olds burger!!!!“

“My family and I absolutely LOVE Ormond Plantation! Between all of us we have tried almost everything on the menu and have always enjoyed it! Of course we all have our favorites! Mine is Creole Stuffed Eggplant!! The owners, staff, chef, and atmosphere add to the enjoyable dining experience!! I pray they are eventually able to bring back Sunday brunch!!“

“We had a large party tonight (around 40) for a friend's birthday and April and the staff handled it like pros. Even though we took over half of the restaurant, the staff was gracious, service was great, and the food was delicious! Highly recommend.“

“Great hibachi restaurant with excellent, very flavorful hibachi, friendly service, and lots of seating. I ordered the filet mignon and chicken with rice, vegetables, mushroom soup, and salad. It was all really good. Wasn't very busy on a Monday evening around 7pm.“

“The food is amazing! Good flavor and it tastes fresh. You also get a good amount of food for the price. The staff and owner are super friendly and checks in to make sure everything is okay. I recommend and would come again! Next time I'll try the desserts, they look delicious“

“This was my first time here and it was amazing! The bbq ribs fell off the bone and the collard greens were flat out delicious!! I would definitely recommend! The portions are great for the price too. The staff was really friendly and the service was fast. It is cash only so bring some with you, you won’t be disappointed.“

“We were over the top with the entire meal. We started with the sampler appetizer and it was amazing. I had spaghetti and meatballs with the Italian house salad and my fiance had the meatball poboy. Everything was amazing and so delicious and the service was excellent. I have looked for an Italian restuarant to please my palate and have been disappointed but NO MORE, Gendusa's has met my expectations above and beyond!“

“I honestly love this location. All the staff are so friendly and the cooks are on point. If you are a lover of the liver and onions plate you have to come here and have Anthony fix this for you. Tastes just as good as Grandma's or even better! ?“

“Mano's Po-Boys has Great Food and Great service! I do recommend this place to everyone!“

“My only regret is not finding this spot sooner! I'm in town a few times a month and just happened to drive by and stop today. First off the waitress (Mrs. Lisa) was amazing! Super friendly and sweet! drink never ran out before I had another sitting beside it. I ordered the fried craw claws and the swamp platter. It was all cooked fresh and came out very quick. Seasoning was on point! very large portions (no chance you're leaving hungry) This is the first restaurant in the area I give a 10 out of 10. let's face it most NOLA restaurants rush food in and out and season just enough to get by because of the tourists! I'll be seeing you again Mrs. Lisa! (side note her husband is also a Dolphins fan so make that 11 out of 10 stars)“

“Stopped by for lunch great place home made tortillas. Pupusas on point. Ever on that side of town definitely stopping by again.“

“This place use to have good food and good service. The food came out cold the seafood was over cooked , and the service was awful“

“We have enjoyed their food for many years, however something has changed. Their enchiladas are no longer the same. The last time we got them they were raw tortillas with meet inside and some sauce on top. There weren't placed in an oven and covered with sauce and cheese like they use to be. It's disgusting to serve something like this to customers. We will be looking elsewhere unless this changes.“

“OMG y'all, for a great dining experience, this is the place !!!! The waitress is lovely, the food is delicious and seasoned to perfection. 5 STARS Best waitress Ms Chanelle thanks !!“

“This is the place my kids and I LOVE to go to. The food is so delicious with large portions and AMAZING service! Carmen is such a great server. She knows my whole family’s order before we even sit down and is quick with refills and anything else we need. The personal service we get there makes the experience that much greater. Keep up the good work! ❤️🍕“

“This café was absolutely delightful — stylish, cozy, and full of charm. The breakfast was phenomenal and arrived hot and freshly made.

“Fuji is my favorite sushi restaurant. It is consistently delicious and reasonably priced for having such high quality fish. I really enjoy the nigiri, especially the specials that aren't on the regular menu but they nearly always have. And the sushi chefs are very friendly and make the experience even better. On my most recent visit we got: toro, surf clam, squid, white fish, saba, aji, madai, kanpachi, and anago nigiri and a rainbow roll, Philadelphia roll, and crunchy dynamite roll.“

“Fantastic Italian food, made old world style.“

“Been going to Waffle House since forever. My wife will not stand to pass one up when we're on the road. You either go to Waffle House or you don't. We do.“

“Ate here for the first time just now. The lady who waited on us was super sweet. We had the crab cakes and pasta. Excellent!! A neat little place! Ended with a malt that was great! I recommend!!“

“Muy deliciosa la comida recomendado“

“My second time at this place. I love the atmosphere. You are greeted when you enter the place and when you are leaving out. The waitresses and management is so nice and polite. The food is amazingly so good. It's hard to get good service but this place is so great at it. Love this place if I could give it 6 stars I would.“

“Pho Sunrise offers a truly authentic menu. I have lived in Saigon and enjoyed Vietnamese Cuisine in many places. Pho Sunrise brings back wonderful memories like hopping on the motor bike with my wife and stopping for a delicious bowl of Pho while on the way to the market in Saigon. The family who owns and operates this restaurant is customer service oriented and very friendly. I am from Biloxi and working in Kenner for a few weeks. I will definitely return to Pho Sunrise whenever I am in the area. I recommend Pho Sunrise without hesitation. Bác Sammy Tăng-Arrington“

“Just tried their new paratha burger and it did not disappoint! Hands down the most unique and delicious burger I ever had. Highly recommend! 10 out of 10 doesn't even do it justice! Dont walk, run now to go try it!“

“If you're nearby, especially at the Destrehan Plantation or on the way back to New Orleans from Whitney Plantation, you must stop by and visit Amanda to get a roast beef po'boy! She is so hospitable and the sandwich was just fantastic. She, along with her patrons, are a model for southern hospitality.“

“I've never had anything but positive experiences at Beijing in Boutte. The food is the absolute best Chinese food I've ever had and I've tried them all. I will be a loyal customer for as long as these guys are open. Always delighted to have a plate from Beijing.“

“Traveling for business / looking for good takeout near MSY.
Ordered Generals Chicken off Chef’s Specials. Added pork egg roll.
Good sized portion / more than I expected.
Chicken and sauce were good / flavorful.
Nothing much in the way of veggies (eg just a few small onions). White rice was middle of the road / good. Egg roll was hot, and same as you’ll find from freezer section in big-box store.
Ordering by phone was easy and friendly.
Food was ready earlier than advised (+). Good all around ordering, pick-up experience.
Pricing was as you’d expect.
Solid offering and would do again when back in area.
