31 Best Salad Restaurants in New Orleans

“I’m a local who has dined at many N.O. restaurants and Cafe Amelie is my favorite. Charming atmosphere and THE BEST food and drinks!“

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

“We almost kept walking by this place when we looked in the window because it looks like a counter service kind of place, but the waitress waved us in. We are so glad that she did. The food was amazing, best breakfast that we had in New Orleans. And super friendly staff. The atmosphere is kind of combination of diner/cafeteria but don’t let that fool you.“

“Love this new place in Mid-City! The cocktails are wonderful and the food is great. I really enjoyed the fried pickles and pimento cheese spread. My husband got the loaded potato gnocchi. It was delicous but a little rich. It was perfect to split all three. I will definitely be back!“

“Absolutely excellent all around. Everyone at our table loved what they ordered. The duck special was fantastic. For a memorable meal, you can’t go wrong.“

“Such a fabulous restaurant with a phenomenal atmosphere. The staff is amazing! Sunday brunch out of this world! And lunch phenomenal as well. We definitely suggest going to miss River.“

“Loved that the wall art came with its own black light! Very cool! We sat upstairs on the picnic tables! We had the best service & even better food! Highly recommend the BEST place to get your hands dirty!!!“

“We held my father's celebration of life last Friday in their party room. The staff was awesome and the food was great. Our family had a wonderful time. I highly recommend this place!“

“We stumbled into Iacovone and for a moment thought we had come into the wrong place. The restaurant is a hole in a wall that looks so decrepit from the outside, only the "Open" sign convinced me that it was actually a working restaurant. Then, when you walk in, there were two small plastic tables with a few plastic chairs. So it's then a little jarring at the counter to look at the menu of the day and see serious food for prices that are extremely reasonable for serious food (but still more than you have ever paid in a place that has a bit of an eating in a Subway feel to it). But don't let that dissuade you. Because this is indeed incredible food at very reasonable prices, and the advantage of being in a tiny hole in the wall is that you almost can't help but chat with the Chef/Owner/Sole Employee who has a great story to tell about his journey through the food world and his love for New Orleans. Iacovone was the last restaurant we visited on a three week vacation across multiple countries where we ate incredibly well. It was a fitting last stop. Make sure to give it a try on your next visit to the Crescent City.“

“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!“

“I'm PICKY as I've been blessed to travel the world for client visits. I only bring this up as I've eaten in some phenomenal restaurants thanks to work. This place is clean (even restrooms), friendly staff, and the food is always amazing. I work for a huge IT firm, and I entertain a lot of people from the USA & globally but when entertaining here in NOLA, La Boca is a top choice & my clients love it. It's a little pricey, but believe me...you get more than you pay for. It's worth it! All my clients love this place. You won't be disappointed.“

“Probably some of the best Mediterranean food I've ever had. The creamiest hummus with loads of flavor. Really good baklava. Don't be put off by the fact this is inside an unassuming bodega - wfich ny the way has literally every kind of single serve beverage you can imagine as well as a huge vairiety of snack foods I've never seen. This is not an eat-in establishment. Take your food to go.“

“I was a bit disappointed that the juices weren't freshly made on the spot. But the Root and Fruit was very tasty. I like to juice at home so I can get the pulp, no pulp with their juices. The younh woman at the register was very kind and knowledgeable. I see some people complain about the prices. To them I say, have you been in the grocery stores these days and seeing the price of veg and fruit?“

“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.“

“Their breakfast is wonderful. Good staff and friendly service.“

“Came for lunch. Miso soup was REALLY good. And the salad looked plain as can be, but the dressing is actually incredibly delicious. Hibachi tasted well-balanced - well seasoned and nice presentation, didn’t take too long. I do dislike how it costs $14, and I end up spending $20 through tax tip etc. But I guess that’s how it is with dining in.Also please fix the flickering light at the bar! That made it a bit sketchy. But other than that good meal.“

“So when you walk in, everything kind of stops because it’s that tranquil. You then look around and realize you’re good because you can’t buy anything bad even if you don’t buy anything. In a way, even the staff appear to be what you’re buying.Oh and the avocado toast is bananas. Bless“

“Always been a pleasant and enjoyable experience every time I’ve been. Food is also super delicious.“

“I am from New Orleans but haven'tived 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!“

“Today was my first time ever trying African cuisine, I am now definitely a fan!! I had the Egusi soup with fufu, it was genuinely one of the most delicious things I’ve eaten in a long time. So filling and flavorful, absolutely worth every penny! I only finished half, so the portion size was great!“

“so here's the deal, I meant to photograph the food, but I only managed to get one picture of my margarita. this place has a wonderful margarita menu that is guaranteed to have a flavor for everyone. the pineapple cilantro margarita was delicious, refreshing and had legs for days. highly recommend. the queso is probably the best restaurant queso I've had. and the table side ceviche was lovely. this is a fun little place to stop by for good food and great drinks.“

“delicious food. friendly service. nice atmosphere“

“I’m usually a google review lurker, but this place is so amazing I had to share. I’ve lived in the neighborhood for 5 years and walked by this place many times but have never dined until yesterday. In a city with so many trendy restaurants, it is easy to overlook this place at first, but don’t be fooled. My partner and I decided stopped in to check this place out and had an EXCEPTIONAL meal! We sat on the patio which has the loveliest energy and is decorated in a way where you can really tell someone put some love into opening this place. We had a Thai tea and iced coffee, a seaweed salad, a squid steak, crab fried rice, and the garlic shrimp. Everything was delicious, but the squid steak and crab rice were out of this world. Super fresh and generous portions. Everything is priced so reasonably! Our food was a little slow coming out, but there was just one waitress and we weren’t in a rush so we actually enjoyed being able to relax outside and just enjoy the atmosphere. This place has a lot of heart and soul in the food and location, and was a lovely departure from some of the heavier dishes/cuisines NOLA is known for. Will definitely be coming back!“

“Had to create an account just to leave a good review on this place. Got the white beans and rice with cornbread and fried chicken and potato salad and the Mac n cheese as a side. I don’t ever remember being this satisfied after leaving a place in my life, I could not stop eating. The waitress/ hostess was awesome. Did not expect this place to be this good. Very clean place as well.“

“The staff in the kitchen were EXTREMELY friendly and the pizza was AMAZING!!“

“Best thin crust pizza in town. And the service was great. They were attentive, polite and fast. We will be back. Definitely want to try the breakfast menu.“

“A perfect place to grab a slice and a drink to go. Excellent pizza by the slice, a decent selection of tap beer, and frozen drinks. Restrooms upstairs.Vegetarian options: Veggie pizza availableKid-friendliness: Kids are just fine. Not a lot of seats, but people don't stay long. Soft drinks available.“

“Great customer service! Great food, highly recommend this place.“

“Dolma has no business tasting this good! I had the chicken shawarma wrap—I had to get up and give props to the cook. It’s not the commercial Mediterranean by any means—it tastes like it was made at home with love. The presentation was amazing. Im extremely picky about food. I’d give them 10 stars if I could“

“It was delicious ... I highly recommend!❤️❤️❤️“

“This is my absolute favorite restaurant. The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal! My favorites Pizzas and Pastas, for desserts or breakfast, I go for cookies with fresh brewed coffee. Servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. Can't wait to return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in or to go.“
