8 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in New Orleans

“Great food and wonderful atmosphere“

“Great experience at Shaya! Aside from it being terrific, the service was so friendly! What a great place!“

“A great family restaurant with a warm and inviting atmosphere with various dishes, amazing tastes, and the best bisque in the city! A very friendly and attentive staff who makes every dining experience feel special.“

“This place is AMAZING! I ordered 2 bowls with lemon chicken, seasoned rice, feta, Kalamata olives, cucumber tomato salad, red onions, topped with garlic green beans and finished with delicious Tzatziki sauce and a little salt and pepper, man oh man was it delicious! My sister (to whom the second bowl was for) and I have found our new favorite place, I’d give more stars if I could. If you’re looking to try something new, or just looking for some good Mediterranean food try The Simple Mediterranean, you’ll thank me later.“

“The BEST (maybe only?) vegetarian muffuletta you'll get in the French Quarter. It's awesome but so are their other offerings. It does take a few minutes for the food, as they make everything too order but is so worth the wait.Vegetarian options: The muffuletta all the way!“

“The Farmer’s Salad at Misa is one of my favorite restaurant salads in the city. It has actual vegetables (not just a bowl of lettuce) and it’s topped with a nice, herby vinaigrette. I also love their Sweet Potato Ravioli and spacious outdoor seating.“

“Excellent quick food service! I was impressed with the open kitchen and the freshness of the meat. We had the gyro wrap plate and the chicken shawarma plate. Both with salad which tasted better than it looked, and hummus, which was good, but not as thick as I'm used to. I thought for the price the serving size was fair. As others have noted, they do charge extra for pita bread. Overall pretty good and will definitely return!“

“We were at a conference at the Marriott and wanted a healthy choice of food. Cleo's did not disappoint! The menu had several dishes to choose from and the food was so fresh and delicious! We had the lamb kebabs, salad, saffron rice and hummus. I want to go back and try other dishes while we are here. It was a quiet and intimate atmosphere if you are looking for a break from the noisy NOLA scene. Prices were very reasonable!Vegetarian options: Vegetables were cooked fresh, salad was amazingDietary restrictions: There were so many options to choose from. I did not want bread or fried food, and we found the dishes delicious and fresh and portions of meat and vegetables large and satisfying!Kid-friendliness: There were children eating there, they seemed to enjoy the hummus!“
