• Name says it all....

For our long weekend trip to New Orleans, I was most looking forward to eating at O!Vegasm and it did not disappoint. The name really says it all. We had both dinner on Friday night and brunch on Sunday. We took taxis on Friday, but the bus stop (which we checked out on Sunday) is just a couple of blocks away. The service was so friendly and welcoming too. They are located inside St. Roch Tavern making it easy to have drinks as well. Onto the food! For dinner, we ordered the spicy black bean burger and double decker grilled cheese BLT, both with tater tots. Our friend ordered the crab cake po'boy special with coleslaw. We all shared the nachos and a side of mac n cheese. The smoked cashew cheese is out of this world. The grilled cheese rocked with it as did the mac and cheese (probably the best vegan one I've ever had). The black bean burger was so gourmet. Our friend (who is non-vegan and loves crab cakes) said he would not have believed the po'boy was vegan if he didn't know that in advance. He was mighty impressed. For brunch, it was just the two of us and it's a set menu of two items (changes weekly). Yes, two items (both savory and sweet) for only $15! We each got our own plates although we saw other couples sharing. It consisted of tofu benedict with sausage and rosemary biscuit and a cinnamon roll pancake with glaze. So glad we didn't share as I wanted it all to myself. Dirk got a bloody mary as well. We also took the mini pistachio bundt cakes to go along with more mac and cheese. Both delicious. My only complaint is that I didn't get to try everything on the menu. I'm still thinking about the jackfruit reuben and BBQ seitan sandwich I didn't get to try. Next trip, right? Definitely go support them!
