50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in New Orleans

“Amazing food and drinks. We loved everything from the pork, fish rundown, and spectacular salads. Cocktails were great as well - pimms, and hurricane.
Kudos to the kitchen and bar. Unfortunately our waiter, David, was horrendous. He seemed annoyed by every aspect of serving our party. Everyone else at the restaurant seemed lovely, like the previous times we've dined there. Shocking someone so mismatched with the restaurant is working there“

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

“A New Orleans must! Great tasting, traditional Creole food. Food comes out HOT and the portions are big! A more simple menu that has just enough options and you can’t go wrong with any dish (although I recommend the red beans and rice, stewed or fried chicken and the praline bread pudding). Very impressed with how friendly the staff was. We will definitely be eating here again next time we are in town!“

“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“

“Excellent bubbles, food and service“

“If you haven't eaten here yet, do yourself a favor and go. Everything we had, from the grilled octopus to the burrata and cavatelli, was absolutely incredible. For dessert, we ordered the olive oil and apple cake and espresso which was also amazing🧑‍🍳😗 highly recommend. Service was also great. Very attentive.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Recent dinner at the Jazz Bistro. Food was impeccable. service by server Sarah, was inconsistent and inattentive. Struggled to get her attention to place order. She ignored us for table of six. Surly, rude, unhelpful, no personality. spoke with young manager on duty; he listened, but said NOTHING in response to my concerns.(I identified myself as a former food and beverage manager with Hyatt Hotels and considerable restaurant experience.) Don't expect attention here, even if your needs are minimal. Other staff were charming, which made Sarah look even more inept.“

“Food & service outstanding. Shout out to our server Nigel.“

“it's a great steak house. there's no menu, you order steak and sides and drinks! it did not disappoint !“

“Group of 4 of us went to Cure for drinks and dinner. The waitstaff and professionals behind the bar are as good as it gets. Knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. The food is off the charts good and the atmosphere is hard to beat. Highest class bar in New Orleans and isn't even close.“

“Had delicious breakfast sandwiches and bagels including muffuletta special and a vegan egg & cheese. Wait was longish on a busy Saturday but there was a cute popup market outside and great local people watching so we didn’t mind. Would love to come back for the lunchtime sandwiches next time.“

“Great food, delicious cocktails, great vibe!!“

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

“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!“

“Outstanding service and food! I just had the pecan crusted drum and it was nothing short of amazing! Highly recommended!“

“Had the okra ,fried chicken and candied yams SoooooooGoooood thought l was at my mothers kitchen. WOW. everything was full of FLAVOR. Will be back. Thank You🥰🥰“

“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“
