39 Best Salad Restaurants in New Orleans

“Loved the experience, From the food to the atmosphere, everything was amazing!“

“I've been going to the Saint Roch market for almost 6 months. I love Mediterranean food and wanted to try this restaurant, but I was fiercely loyal to another one across town. When that one closed last month, I couldn't wait to come over here. My only disappointment is that I didn't visit this restaurant sooner because it is amazing. You can't have a name like DOLMA without having incredible dolmas. These were absolutely incredible! Easily the best I've had and I've been to anywhere between 60 and 80 Mediterranean restaurants across the country. My favorite thing to get is the veggie sampler. I have yet to have anything bad from this restaurant. In fact, I will be going back for lunch in a few days. Cannot recommend them enough. One of my favorite places in New Orleans along with pretty much every other restaurant at the market.“

“Denied access to a legally allowed service dog without any interest in making accommodation. The dog tucked immediately under the table where she is supposed to be and the server (maybe owner) came over immediately asking for paperwork, which isn't required in the United States. Any paperwork provided is typically bought off the internet. Don't waste your time or money here. Sharing their intolerance on every platform. Also just found out that the person who told us we couldn't eat there laughed and tried to joke with the rest of our party and offer free drinks after the fact like that was going to fix splitting our dinner party.“

“The ppl here are very friendly and make you feel like family. The food is really good.

Vegetarian options: Great smoothies

Dietary restrictions: I ordered a turkey burger with turkey bacon and I fell in love. My fav is the fish salad

Parking: Big parking lot

Kid-friendliness: My nephew was given a little toy truck and a basketball while we waited for our order. They guys were really nice!“

“Beautiful courtyard and delicious food. Our waiter"s recommendations were spot on. Would definitely return.“

“The octopus is amazing! My first time eating it and they nailed how to make chargrilled octopus!“

“We loved this place! The food and the service were excellent!“

“Customer service top notch! Friendliness top notch! Quality of food and drink top notch! Thank you Scortch for an amazing chat and great customer service. We will be back!“

“Great place for breakfast, menu has changed some what, less omelet selection, grits are a little runner spread out onto the plate looks like more but less. I ordered fish and grits w/eggs. Instead waiter brought me a bowl shrimp and grits with eggs on the side. I ask where is the fish she said oh! Yes came back with the fish. I told her I had ordered fish and grits, no sir you ask for shrimp and grits. Anyway the food taste good my guess were happy, In the end so was I. 9/04/23.“

“The food is always fresh and has the best flavors!! The Chef is culinary genius!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“They delivered a universally approved delicious lunch to my CBD location. What can we buy for people that everyone likes? That is actually nutritious and not full of the fake ingredients that are usually on the list? CITY GREENS!“

“I am allergic to gluten, dairy and corn. The place was fantastic. The waitress went to the cook and asked him what I could eat on the menu. I was very happy with what I got to eat. I highly recommend this place if you have food allergies.“

“the cheesesteaks here ARE amazing!! I've had them in several cities and this was one of the best I've ever had.. 10 out of 10. and I know good food lol.. loved it“

“While I’ll aways recommend, tonight definitely was a damper on what used to hold a top reputation for years for us. We went for our 17th anniversary (just 2 people). And I cannot tell you how many times we kinda got lost in the system and the service was soooo slow! They comp a drink but to be honest- 2 hours for a meal for 2 people is just long. Chocolate dessert seemed to be shrinking in size as well. For a $200 meal for 2, I personally wouldn’t have wanted to repeat the night again. Steak was okay but chewy and my husband’s more expensive steak, lacked flavor. I love ya La Boca but tonight will probably make us wait a bit to return.“

“Israel is a very great and attentive Server. She completely took over our table when there was a mix-up . We were so impressed with her. She made our Xmas Eve perfect. The food is great and her service was impeccable.“

“One of the best dining experiences I have ever had. From the bartender,manager and Summer our server. The food was amazing! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great dining experience“

“Great food with incredibly friendly and professional staff. A family favorite!“

“Gas. Amazing. Delectable. Sensational.

PSA to all locals, and Tulane and Loyola students: Come here if you haven't. Had the rangoons, were special for the price and massive. Amazing lunch specials, HALF PRICE rolls on Tuesdays.“

“I am from New Orleans but haven't lived here in years. This establishment reminded me of everything I grew up with. From the food to the service, everything was amazing. I highly highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic cuisine. The gumbo is the winner!“

“delicious food. friendly service. nice atmosphere“

“1st timer. Stumbled across it on a Google search and blindly choose it. MANNNN! I wasn't disappointed. Clean, casual and friendly environment. Food was fresh, fast and flavorful. Big ahh portions for a great price. Visiting here from ATL, but will definitely return❣️“

“Discovered this little gem while staying at prince Conti last year a must go for brunch“

“Life is good! My food was prepared perfectly from the amazing talented Alex. Super personable and professional. I got the Harissa chicken power bowl (a featured item) and it did not disappoint (dressed to perfection). Alex and Delilah were both very kind, helpful, and efficient. The food, the service, the community are all reasons why I'll be back for more!“

“A True Gem in Metairie! I am so thrilled to have finally found a restaurant in Metairie that gets everything right! Velvet Cactus is, without a doubt, a 5-star experience from top to bottom. In an city where customer service often seems like a lost art, this place stands out as a shining example of how it should be done. The absolute highlight of our visit was the incredible service we received from Sharon Davis. She was attentive, friendly, and genuinely seemed to enjoy making sure we had a great experience. It was so refreshing to be taken care of by someone with such a wonderful and positive attitude. Sharon is a true asset to the restaurant, and her exceptional service alone is a reason to come back. Of course, the food was just as impressive. Every single dish we ordered was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. From the appetizers to the main course, you can tell there's real care and quality coming out of that kitchen. To top it all off, the environment is fantastic. The decor is fun and vibrant, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere that’s perfect for a night out. We will absolutely be back, and we'll be asking for Sharon! If you're looking for delicious food and service that will leave you smiling, look no further than Velvet Cactus. Highly, highly recommended!“

“Was in New Orleans house shopping 3 years ago and our hotel was near this amazing pizza restaurant we really loved it and today happened to be in the neighborhood and got some takeout and still really good! Now living here there are only a few pizza places I’d recommend and this one definitely is delicious!“

“Spent my birthday here in May. What a way to celebrate! I felt like royalty. The food and service were equally matched 10/10. The portion size was perfect and the drinks were amazing. Valet was also great. I will be visiting again.“

“Probably the best dining experience we’ve had in years. Service was on point and their massive crawfish with the boil house seasoning were cooked perfectly! So juicy, claws and all easily came out the shell intact. Flavor not just heat. Those Parmesan truffle fries are worth mentioning too. So good! Already planning our next dinner there.“

“We ordered the charbroiled oysters, chargrilled crabs and the blackened mahi. Everything was so on point down to the lemon cream sauce and flavor on each thing. Highly recommend 🤤“

“It's hard to believe as many times as have been to New Orleans that I have never been to this restaurant. The food was really really good. So good that when I started eating I wanted to keep eating. I had to slow down! I had the pulled pork fajitas which were very very good. This included freshly made corn tortillas which were delicious. Portion was extremely generous and I could only finish half of it. Took the rest back to the hotel and had it the following day. The orange lime margarita was very good as well. Very tasty with just enough tequila in it. Very generous portions. Very delicious food. Great service. What more could you ask for? Definitely give them a try!“

“Overall the food was great. Definitely recommend the meatballs and fried mozzarella. The only complaint would be the osso buco entree… the meat itself was very tough. Server said we got the last one of the night which we appreciated however the quality didn’t hold up to what we’re used to.“

“Best onion rings around! Friendly welcoming staff. Overall great experience!“

“Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had, including our trip to Italy!“

“fine food friendly service“

“Excellent service (they have buzzers! I don’t need to listen for my name in a crowded bar!) and tasty food. In addition to bar time bites, their food travels well (due to some thoughtful packaging, bread isn’t stacked atop meat, etc) and I am able to grab stuff on my lunch break. A welcome addition to Mid-City!“

“The Tom Yum soup is just as I remember it from when I lived in Thailand. I got the shrimp tom yum, veey spicy, and was not disappointed. I will be stopping by more often for this healthy and hearty meal. Great for trying to lose weight. Light enough to be healthy but also hearty enough to be considered a satisfying meal“

“Great place!!! Craft beers and good pizza.“

“OMG!!! I came to this place on a whim this morning. This is the best food I have had from a cafe joint in a very long time. I ordered the spaghetti bolognese with a Salad and it was DIVINE! Well cooked, nicely seasoned. A pleasant Saturday surprised. I highly recommend this small cafe on St. Claude, located a block from Fredrick Douglass High School. Oh, and the vibes are heavenly.

Parking: It was a Saturday at lunch time. Plenty parking, no problem.“

“The best margaritas around!“

“I frequented The Vintage Garden Kitchen in Place St. Charles and can't say enough good things about this place - healthy, delicious food and fast, attentive service.“
