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!“

Great food. Great atmosphere. Great drinks. Great staff. GREAT ALL AROUND! FIVE STARS for Jewel of the South.“

“We were on vacation for one of our kids wedding The hotel we were staying at is located just in front of the restaurant What an amazing find to have this kind of food and wonderful atmosphere right around the corner of the hotel in walking distance Less than 5 minutes Can’t say enough about the staff from the hostesses to the servers and the wonderful chefs The 1st time we sat at the bar to watch the food being made which helped with selection 2nd time we sat at a table because we knew what we wanted Overall experience with my family coming to the restaurant is you’re missing out on one of the best kept secrets Absolutely delicious and wonderful meal From start to finish My Family & I want to say thank you so much for taking care of us and making us feel at home“

“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?“

“Fabulous evening at N7. Wonderful food experience“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“And a good selection of music on the box…“

“Modern takes on traditional foods while maintaining cultural roots. I'm not Haitian and I have no experience with Haitian foods. Fritai offers an experience of Haitian culture and food with a modern side. Flavors are delicious. People are real and friendly. Some of the best cocktails in the Southeast: Go!“

“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.“

“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!! 🥂🥂“

“Best shrimp and grits I’ve had in a long time.“

“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.“

“The friendliest crew you will ever meet! Yesterday my husband had the BLT and I had the steak and eggs. Omggggg yall. Hands down the best food we have ever eaten. Period. Today we both got the Ruby special! The burger was juicy and thicc just like Ruby lol. We live 5 hours away but will be returning just to eat there again. Also for my southerners….yes the sweet tea is worth getting!!“

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

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

“This place is loaded with incredible food options that are healthy while still feel flavorful, fun, and freaking delicious. Cannot recommend the PB&J smoothie and the Southwest bowl enough!!“
