50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in New Orleans

“Didn't have a bad item! The arancini and parpadelle is amazing.“

“Fabulous! Family, History, great food, awesome wall pictures“

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

“I do not have the words to do this place justice. The interior is lovely and very fitting for the French Quarter but the patio is the best! The food is so delicious that I would be happy to eat every meal there. The attentiveness of the staff was incredible - they know their menu (bar and kitchen) and make great suggestions based on what you like not what they are trying to "move".“

“Booked BABs on a whim as part of a quick getaway to NOLA. Was not disappointed! Creative mocktail and cocktail menu. Wonderful beer and wine list. Appetizers were heavenly and exquisite. Entrees were fresh and delicious, while being new takes on American cuisine. Staff was eager to please while not being snide or fake. Opinions were honest and questions were thoroughly answered. We're very guarded of our New Orleans meals when we visit. I won't hesitate to book Bywater American Bistro on our next trip!“

“I forgot to finish my review and post it. My husband and I were in NOLA for the first time, we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, in August 2023. I have a gluten allergy and it was difficult to find authentic NOLA food that was gluten free. I am so glad I found Atchafalaya Restaurant!! The food was absolutely fantastic and they had several gluten free options! Our waitress was amazing. The restaurant was very cute inside and had a lot more seating than it looked like from the outside.“

“great food and unique venue“

“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 food was so tasty, as always! Bosco had a very cheerful and cheeky personality that made ordering a fun moment. The service was wonderful; my water glass was never empty. The music was also so lovely and we came at a time where it wasn’t too crowded. All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience!“

“Incredible food and distinctive service combined to make dining at Peche Seafood Grill a memorable experience! I highly recommend a visit if you’re traveling to New Orleans.“

“Amazing food , staff and ambiance.“

“Late review but I went here last year after wanting to visit for a long time. Definitely worth it. Been a long time fan and this place is worth the hype, I also recommend grabbing a cook book from 'em. It's the better than the Bible.“

“By far my personal favorite restaurant in all of Nola. It’s consistently great every visit! A+“

“Amazing BBQ Shrimp Po Boy!!!“

“Food was delicious. Wait staff very friendly and attentive.“

“Bacchanal was recommended by our Lyft driver. We went the last night of Jazz Fest. Our driver was right it was fabulous. The place doesn't look like much when you pull up to the front, but what a surprise when you walk in. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is the perfect New Orleans style place with an amazing vibe. We ate upstairs after picking out a bottle of wine. We had the Gambas(Shrimp), the Patatas Fritas and the Pork Chop. All were wonderful, especially the Pork Chop. It was cooked/grilled to perfection. Maybe the best Pork Chop we have ever had at a restaurant. We were able to hear the band that was playing in the courtyard but it wasn't so loud that you couldn't carry on a conversation. And the prices are very reasonable. We will be back next time we are in New Orleans.“

“Amazing food! Hip vibe! Avacado toast was the best!!“

“Starters: gem salad and gumboSmall plates: fried oysters, spaghetti (carbonara like, delicious), and baked cheeseMain: duck confit, night special: triple tail with grilled corn and roasted potato, wagyu bavetteService: attentive staffAtmosphere: go early for a quieter experience, as it gets busy after 6:30 pmDessert: banana brown butter tart, flourless chocolate cake, fried apple pie with vanilla ice cream“

“I celebrated a birthday at Ralph’s and it was a great experience. The food was excellent, and the service was great. I had the Chicken Cobb salad and a surprise nectar float as part of my birthday celebration! What a treat. The decor from the old New Orleans style building, to the painted murals and white tablecloths was superb. Free street parking out front and a free parking lot in the back is a big plus. A wall of windows gives a superb view of New Orleans city park as well. Reasonably priced and definitely a treat!Parking: Plenty of free, convenient street and lot parking plus valet if you choose.“

“Had the most divine time and the staff was amazing. I got to know the owner's children who are amazing young men. They were very welcoming and informative about the history of the restaurant. Had the red snapper with rice and the veggie tray with injera bread. Gonna use my leftover injera for twist-on crepes in the morning.“

“Delicious and charming! Go!!“

“Amazing food!!! Great staff!“

“The Toups’ Burger was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! Our waiter was very knowledgeable in the dishes and kept our drinks full. I highly recommend this place. Next time I go I want to try the smoked duck!“

“I visited Latitude 29, and had great service. Lauren was attentive, and patient with my questions. I had a Zombie and the chickpea curry, both of which were delicious.“

“Everything was amazing!! The ambience, staff and food…oysters bed, curried gumbo, pork vindaloo, and crème brûlée were all spot on. Next time I visit my family will definitely come back to enjoy again.“

“Great food and fun atmosphere!“

“Trendy spot recommended by a friend (cocktail connoisseur). The place wasn't busy when I got there so I picked a seat on the back patio. Cocktail menu is awesome... ordered a Banana Manhattan based on a rec from the staff (wanted something unique). Loved it! Not too sweet, just a hint of banana. The food was OK. I've had better Cubans and better fries, but still good. Giving it 4 stars overall... 5 based on cocktails, but 3/3.5 based on food.“

“Above all, you MUST order the seared scallops and artichoke appetizer. Fan-freaking-tactic! The Black Manhattan is excellent — except is was stirred long enough so it was nearly lukewarm when brought to the table. Great flavor, but disappointed at how warm it was. (An extra point for Luxardo cherries. Seriously. How can a restaurant claim they serve cocktails if they don’t use Luxardo cherries????)“

“Great food and wonderful atmosphere“

“Marvin is an awesome individual. “The Bomb” is da bomb. The shrimp stew was off the charts. If I’m in NOLA I’m gonna get to that end of Magazine.“

“Always awesome food. Great staff“

“Grabbed a drink here on a Saturday night when everything else seemed so busy, just a short wait to get into the bar which was great on its own. Beautiful ambiance, the cocktails were delicious and not outrageously expensive, basically just normal prices for a lot of the drinks. Lovely staff, great night.“

“Great restaurant. Good good. Great service“

“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!“

“Went there Saturday night and stayed till close. Chris was our bartender and although they were super busy he was always there when needed. He recommended a great aperitif to finish the night based on our preferences and was an overall great experience with food and drinks!!! Only my second time going (first in 2011) and need to go more often when traveling to NOLA.“

“Service was the best ever.. everything was so great. Made my wife and I 1st wedding anniversary great“

“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!“

“An amazing experience, the food,the service and the atmosphere are top tier!!!!“

“This place was Amazing!!! The Brisket Chile was phenominal & the Berry Cobbler w/ice cream was definitely my favorite!!! Atmosphere was pleasant & comfortable.Service was incredible & was treated like family... The Pork Steak was a 10+ Delicious!!!“

“I love Lil Dizzy’s food! The gumbo is like no other. The crawfish bisque is absolutely amazing. The fried chicken is just like my grandma’s. OMG I can go on and on, the Mac and sweet potatoes, potato salad, and so much more! You have to experience this place for yourself.“

“As soon as you walk through the door, you begin to understand that Thaihey has true heart and is all about the love of food, staff and guests. When we took a bite of our first appetizer, the small plate okra with secret spices, our feelings were confirmed: this is a special restaurant. Thaihey excels from the front of the house (Misty, Greg and Nate) to the kitchen (Chef Yimchalam). Chef creates magical Thai fusion dishes in a small, four burner kitchen with authentic Thai ingredients enhanced by locally sourced ingredients. Thank you for this truly amazing experience!“

“Food was amazing. Service was top notch! Shaira was our server. She did an amazing job. Definitely would come back!“

“Great food, great service, fun atmosphere!“

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

“The food and atmosphere is spot on!! However, needs to have REAL flatware to go with the REAL dishes instead of plastic knives, spoons and forks!! That would increase the quality of the dining experience!“

“Homemade pastas are the best! Highly recommend“

“Delicious dinner …. Great waiter Justin“

“The live music was a huge bonus. We got the filet which were cooked perfectly and full of flavor, the fried lobster tail was to die for, and the key lime pie was simply amazing! The entire experience from the service to the food was incredible! Highly recommend!!!“
