50 Best Vegan Restaurants in New Orleans

“I have so much love for Cane and Table. My wedding reception was held at C&T in 2019 and we had literally the best time. Best food, cocktails and ambiance. The upstairs is particularly charming and beautiful. So glad we have memories there. The staff was also so gracious and gorgeous, we had so much fun sharing our favorite day with them. For a long while we would pop in whenever we were in town and were always treated like friends. Can’t wait to visit again!“

We loved it so much. we asked our nephew, his medical school advisor and his wife to join us. All three lived in NOLA and had never been here. All 5 of us would definitely go back in a heart beat. Great food. Great atmosphere. Great drinks. Great staff. GREAT ALL AROUND! FIVE STARS for Jewel of the South.“

“Excellent bubbles, food and service“

“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?“

“Great food and wonderful atmosphere“

“One of the best dining experiences my wife and I ever had. It is a true culinary delight that awakens your taste buds. Braiden was an excellent server who takes pride in his work and it shows! Thank you for a wonderful evening.“

“The fancy drinks 🍹 are titillating and the appetizers are fantastic. However, the entrees were not impressive. The chicken was served undercooked and the shrimp dish was overcooked and very greasy. Ambiance is what you pay for here and the delicate mix of intoxicating flavors in their cocktails! Staff is very friendly!“

“Fabulous cocktails. Gorgeous decor and delicious food. Polite professional staff and sumptuous seating. Need I say more ❤️ The “soleil” gin cocktail is divine 🙏🏻 Do it!“

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!“

“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!

I can’t rave about it’s food enough…simply delicious!“

“Hi everyone, my post might be a little different in that it's not even about the food. This review is about the gratitude that I have for this place. I can't express enough gratitude to Costera Restaurant for turning our Christmas around in the most wonderful way. when my wife lost her precious chain and pendant during our visit. it felt like our holiday spirit was fading fast,however the staff at Costera went above and beyond to help us. Not only did they assist us in searching for the lost item, but they showed genuine kindness and concern for our situation. Their efforts led to the recovery of our chain and pendant, and in that moment, they truly became our holiday heroes. The atmosphere in the restaurant is warm and inviting, and the food is simply delightful, which only adds to the reason we will always cherish the memory of our time spent there. Thank you Costera, not just for providing a fine dining experience but for having incredible compassion and support when we needed it most. You have won us over and we will continue to dine in this great establishment and recommend everyone we know. Thank you!!“

“My first time here in New Orleans visiting heard about the famous Muffuletta sandwich and wanted to try it I picked Verti Marte a quaint but small friendly establishment! The sandwich did not disappoint very tasty huge in size I got mine warmed I will definitely go back when I visit to again 😄“

“Stopped infor the first time yesterday and couldn't believe what I have been missing! I had the BEST Bloody Mary I've had in years, and the frozen concoction they were serving tasted like heaven. We will definitely be making this a regular stop.“

“Creative and well executed. Lovely wait staff.“

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

“The delicious authentic food and excellent customer service.“

“We all know the pizza is the best in the city. But that Caesar dressing is the bomb. You should sell containers of that.“

“LOVED ALL OF IT! Great food, atmosphere, wait staff and Jacques himself! Go. Eat. Love it!“

“Love this place! Great cocktails and food.“

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

“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.“

“We stopped by for our last evening in New Orleans. They had a long list of mocktails and n/a beers, which were perfect for our family. The food tasted different from other Thai food we have had - some more like Indian food and some more like Chinese food. We got two appetizers (okra & tofu satay) and two entrees (a tofu noodle soup and a jackfruit curry). We also got a small slice of the chai cheesecake - which I didn't know at the time cost $22! There are awards on the wall that show that the chef won 2 New Orleans vegan cooking contests. Service was very nice and attentive. 20% tip is included and there are signs saying that this is to help them pay a living wage. Two appetizers, 2 entrees, one Thai iced tea, one n/a beer, 3 mocktails, and one small slice of cheesecake came to $175 including the tip. You can decide if that's what you're looking for! I'd say our average meal in New Orleans, buying one of just about every vegan option and sharing it at many different restaurants, cost about $80, so this is much more expensive. Bonus though, they give you pandan water, which we discovered is delicious! Updated from previous review on 2025-04-11“

“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.“

“Amazing gelato, itailan ice, and homemade deserts.
I loved the Boci (chocolate hazelnut), praline, and raspberry gelato. I have also had several cheesecake and cookie options. If you cant decide, they will fresh pack pints and quarts as well as box up your pastry selections in a box with red twine. And there is an airpirt location as well.“

“Amazing-the fresh flavors are the best!! Always add condensed milk for the best dessert you will ever have!“

“fantastic atmosphere and ambiance! Sunday jazz brunch! music at your table! Great and friendly service! Best tasting food I've had in the quarter! 10/10 highly recommend!“

“Had to visit as I heard this was one of the best places to get donuts and coffee. Came here on our last night after dinner and got the espresso with ice cream and a shake along with a cinnamon roll to share with my honey. The shake was a perfect consistency. Then came here again the day we were leaving out as they have Koloches. Haven’t seen those since we lived in Texas. It was pretty good but that Vietnamese coffee 🤤🤤🤤 it was soo good. I’m craving it now as I write this. Then got some donuts for the road. All very good. Highly recommend this place.“

“Love it..If you want good and fresh food this is the place..Clean, friendly, and the food is really really delicious. I highly recommend this place you won't be disappointed.“

“During a trip to New Orleans a place you must stop to eat is The Stanley. The food is amazing and is only outdone by the staff. I recommend the breakfast sandwich and the loaded grits. I even picked up a sandwich for the flight home.“

“Stellar food, service, and atmosphere!“
