50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Jefferson

“My first ever visit and I went with the daily special, which was catfish, potato salad, green beans and garlic bread for $10.99. It was a phenomenal deal for the price based on the food being great and the portions being great too. I highly recommend this place!“

“Great burgers! My go-to is the #4 with sauce. I no longer live in the area; these burgers are something I actually start to crave in the times between visits to NOLA.

This particular Bud's is dated and dingy... in other words, absolutely perfect. I wouldn't have it any other way. Don't confuse dingy with dirty, it's clean, just old. And just right.

You will wait a few minutes for your order, as they put the patties on the grill when you order. Not as quick as fast food, but much fresher and way better. I love that the cheese is actual cheese and not American slices.

The place had several customers when I was there, but I managed to get a photo of the dining room without capturing bystanders.“

“I enjoyed the vibes and the service. The staff experience was the best part of my experience. First time here and it wasn't too busy. The place was clean including the bathroom. I didn't have to wait too long for my food it came out hot and fresh. The oyster appetizer was my favorite. The crab legs were cooked well but I wasn't a fan of the bread and the jambalaya was good. Overall not a bad meal at all and the portion size was perfect for me.“

“We really enjoyed the food and our server Nydia. I never had crawfish before but her recommendation was on point!“

“We were blown away on our first visit this morning!! Ryan is a talented mixologist in the bar creating beautiful, delicious and truly unique drinks. Our server Louis was incredibly charming and attentive, giving us excellent menu choices —as it was a hard decision. Every dish was a work of art—both in presentation and flavor. The whole experience was top-notch, and we can’t wait to come back!“

“I ordered Nirvana pakora and vegetable saag for lunch. Service was quick and the food was delicious. The server, Sherwin, was friendly and informative. I will definitely go back and try other items on the very varied menu.“

“Found this gem of a restaurant on our vacation in New Orleans. Food, drinks, and service were all excellent. The staff was very attentive to the timing of food delivery to allow for a good conversions and a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Small Mart is a great go-to spot in the neighborhood. Their food is made to order and worth the short wait time. There is a great atmosphere and the art is always changing on the walls. Everyone who works there, including the coffee shop, POND, are always friendly and welcoming.“

“My husband and I went on Friday night for dinner. Could not wait to try the new menu and it was simply awesome. To start with, our sever team was Isaac and Cheyanne and they were great. We never waited for anything. The Hot Crab Claws and Foie Gras Torte for appetizers were divine. I ordered the Duck Cassoulet and my husband had the visiting fish, Sea Bass over Yakamein. While the fish was excellent, the Duck ruled the table. Thanks to the Servers and Kitchen for a wonderful meal. We'll be back.“

“🌟 Cane & Table: A Hidden Gem in the Heart of New Orleans 🌟

Tucked away in the French Quarter, Cane & Table delivers a dining experience that feels like stumbling upon a secret oasis. From the moment you walk in, the relaxed ambience wraps around you like a warm breeze—dim lighting, rustic charm, and a vibe that whispers “stay awhile.”

🥩 The Food The steak frites were a revelation: perfectly crisp on the outside, tender within, and elevated by a bold chimichurri kick that danced across the palate. Paired with a fragrant side of saffron rice, the flavors were both comforting and adventurous. And just when you think the meal couldn’t get better, the chocolate terrine arrives—rich, velvety, and indulgent without being overpowering. A dessert worth lingering over.

👨‍🍳 The Service Five stars, hands down. The staff were attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without pretension, and genuinely warm. It’s rare to find a crew that makes you feel like both a guest and a friend.

✨ Final Verdict Cane & Table isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a mood, a moment, a memory in the making. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this unexpected surprise is one worth savoring.“

“Headed to New Orleans in July, and Sweet Vegan Soul Food will be my first stop after leaving the airport. This will be my third visit to this restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious! The facility is clean and the staff is so friendly. When traveling I’m always excited to locate a tasty vegan restaurant and this place is my spot when in New Orleans! I can’t rave about it’s food enough…simply delicious!“

“Great service, awesome atmosphere and the food is excellent. You have to try the red beans and fried chicken. The chicken is perfection.“

“The food was not what I expected, it was hot, fresh, and beautifully presented.“

“This place really left a lasting impression. From the hostess, our server, the bathrooms, food, price point, time we spent. Everything was on point. We had oysters, gumbo, bisque, redfish, and house salad. Everything was divine!!! Keep up the good work! Also loved that it was so very clean.“

“The next time you’re in NO, make a reservation at August! You’ll thank us, I promise. 🤤 FIVE STAR REVIEW ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The meal started out with a “gift from the chef.” A savory leek custard, topped with pumpkin mousse and a sprinkle of sweet & salty crunch, presented in a perfectly carved eggshell. We were given spoon bread as well, which was the lightest, airiest and creamiest corn muffin ever to cross my lips. The sommelier told us that the secret ingredient was sour cream. I guess the secret is out now! 😉 Our sommelier suggested Pinot Noir. Monty chose Belle Glos Las Alturas. Let’s just say that we started shopping for it online immediately after the first taste. It has a fuller body than a typical Pinot Noir, so smooth and juicy. Such a perfect pairing. 🤌🏼 Monty had the pecan-smoked venison tartare with celery root and mountain rose apple. The flavors and textures were out of this world! We combined a few bites of the tartare with a bit of spoon bread. Omg, I’ll say it again: Out. Of. This. World. 💥 I ordered the gnocchi "black and blue" with black truffles, jumbo lump crab and parmesan. Tender, yet slightly firm, with a delicate, pillowy texture, but the truffle took it to a whole ‘nuther level! They gnocchi’d it out of the park with this one. For dinner we shared duck three ways with Bayou Cora grits, foie gras, confit, chestnut mushrooms and cherry bounce. Y’all, I’ve had foie gras, but never before like this. An intensely flavorful silky texture that literally bursts on your tongue. It was absolutely divine. Dessert was hummingbird cake with creole cheesecake, bruleed banana and pineapple ice cream. I just don’t know what to say except the pastry chef knows exactly what she is doing!! This was definitely meal to remember with the love of my life, my favorite dining companion, and my partner in culinary escapades. I love our journey of flavorful adventures, seasoned with spice and a love that mirrors the diversity of a well-crafted menu. Here’s to more delicious chapters in our love story, baby, where every bite is a beautiful reminder of the incredible life we share! Cheers!! 🥂🥂“

“Always one of my favorite meals when visiting, New Orleans. Staff is always great as well. Loved the carne asada hash during our last visit.“

“We ate there while on vacation and their coffee and their twist on french toast was the best I’ve had. The service was top notch and the cafe was very clean :) Highly recommend stopping in.“

“Cool spot a bit off the beaten path!“

“Amazing food!!! Great staff!“

“Customer Service leaves a lot to be desired. Our waitress barely stopped by to check on us. The food was fantastic. The charbroiled oysters were plump and meaty. The gumbo and coleslaw were both very flavorful. And the fried fish dinner was also fantastic. Is the service was anywhere near the quality of the food I would recommend 100%.“

“Great food great service what else do you need. I ordered the garlic oyster po boy and some chicken and sausage gumbo. both were to die for. Definitely a place to stop if you are in town. it's a little off the path of the French quarter but worth the drive“

“Great food, customer service was awesome @darow was great and management also very present and checking on customer highly recommend!!!“

“Comfortable atmosphere with pleasant music. Classic but satisfactory service. Incredible food and even better dessert.“

“Delicious and charming! Go!!“

“Izzy is such a great bartender. Very knowledgeable about the menu. She is also extremely funny I couldn’t focus on the amazing food in front of me. I would 100% recommend her to anyone planning on going into Walk-Ons. Thank you Izzy!“

“Stopped in for brunch before a show at the Saenger. We mainly chose here because of the convenience, but we’re so glad we did! Food was excellent and staff was very friendly. Our children enjoyed everything too! Mofongo was delicious and I appreciated the mocktail the bartender made for my daughter. 10/10 recommend.“

“Delicious food. Healthy, flavorful and filling at reasonable prices.“

“One of the best places for dinner in the French Quarter. Thank you for the food and the fantastic service!“

“Wonderful food in a beautiful setting with great service!“

“Food was amazing. Service was top notch! Shaira was our server. She did an amazing job. Definitely would come back!“

“We had the tofu satay to start with a peanut ginger sauce. Tofu was nice and crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. Beware the spicy factor for the sauce, it sneaks up on you! Main course was the tofu curry, one of the dishes the chef won best of vegan for. Great blend of flavors, not your typical green curry, but again watch out for the heat, this one was SPICY! Looking forward to trying the jackfruit next time we’re down. Oh and do make a reservation, it’s a small restaurant and they fill up.“

“One of the best meals I’ve had in New Orleans was at Toups! We had a charcuterie board with their house made hogs head cheese, chicken liver mousse and foie gras accompanied by house pickles. Simply incredible!! The hogs head cheese was the best I’ve ever had! I especially loved the chunkiness of it with nice pieces of tender pork! The crispy turkey necks! Oh my goodness… AMAZING! The braised lamb neck entree was exquisite with a generous portion and crispy spaetzle! Even leftover, it was great!! I also had their pork chop and applesauce cocktail which was creative and also delicious!! I highly recommend this restaurant! Great work Chef Isaac and team!“

“Anything, I love Commander Palace. I have been there so many times.“

“It’s dark, it’s cool, and they’ll play 60’s/70’s rock gems as the house music. The food is pretty good too. This is my favorite spot I’ve found after several years living in The Quarter. The vibe is perfect. Its the darkness and the music that really makes me not want to leave. It’s rock’n’roll without being a dive. Oh yeah, did I say the food is pretty good too?“
