BEST vegan restaurant experience!

We were in town for a few days and always try to support all-vegan restaurants. We went for lunch and ended up going back the next day for breakfast. I don’t think you could go wrong here! The food was excellent and the portions are hearty!

Pros: All vegan, Excellent flavor and creative choices, Great portions

Cons: None at all!

everything is delicious and cozy atmosphere

Weve been to market in south on several occasions and have tried everything on the menu and everything is delicious! Pick any sandwich or vegan hotdog, a side of mac n cheeze, or cheezy fries or brussel sprouts with some sweet tea or just water. Then choose any of the desserts, sauces, artisan items, or art available to take home with you. They also have weekly specials.

Pros: all vegan, restaurant, bakery, artisan market items

Very delicious

I had one of each taco, collards, and potato salad. Everything tasted great.

I’m a little more restrictive than vegan, so I would have appreciated more callouts for non-obvious soy. Most stuff was spelled out and staff helped me understand ingredients.

Pastries and desserts are from Valhalla Bakery not Dixie Dharma restaurant. They share the same building. You can find Valhalla Bakery as a separate listing on happycow.

BISCUITS AND GRAVY

+ Biscuits and gravy were AMAZING
+ S'mores bar & brookie, fantastic
+ Great service
+ Cheesy homies sauce fantastic

- Tea tasted a bit sour, probably because they seemed to use a brewed tea and then added what looked like sugar in the raw syrup to sweeten
- Mexican scramble bowl thing was...ehhh...some burnt bits
- 'Cajun' boiled peanuts were NOT Cajun boiled peanuts
- Cheesy homies a bit burnt in places
- Grass in the biscuits and gravy was weird

Overall, I will absolutely be back to try more. I have this problem where I have REALLY HIGH expectations but forget that most vegan places are just some people making food, ya know. Gotta go into these situations thinking 'lunch at a friend's house' not 'restaurant'.

---

I've been wanting to go here for over a year. Biscuits and gravy...haven't even tried to make it at home since going vegan. I'm terrible at gravy.
I brought my SO and of course the only thing he'd even think about trying was the biscuits and gravy...ugh. I'm happy he's open to trying things but he always wants what I want and I didn't want to double up. So I got this scramble bowl thing instead.

The biscuits and gravy were amazing. An actually fluffy and moist biscuit, not the dry, dense rocks most places serve. The gravy was just so darn good. SO GOOD. There was this perfect aroma and flavor of sage, I believe, making the whole plate extra homey and cozy tasting. The consistency of the gravy was on point, as well. The small chunks of sausage topping it had the most perfect maple~y, smokey flavor that was sweet and savory and complemented the other components perfectly. However, a couple of spots were a touch burnt-tasting and the gigantic raw fronds of frisee were pointless to us.

My scramble bowl was underwhelming. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with it, it just wasn't what I wanted and the flavors did not satisfy me. Oh, except that there was some burnt potatoey bits and cilantro on it and I can't have cilantro. lol

The Cajun peanuts tasted like plain boiled peanuts sprinkled with smoked paprika and splashed with like Tabasco sauce. Boiled well, not mush and not hard, but not really Cajun~y.

The touch of burnt was followed through to some pieces in the homies, too. Which was unfortunate because they were really tasty!

Anyway, the sweets all looked amazing and incredible but I managed to whittle it down to just two picks and...they're great. The s'mores bar is def. the top pick for the fam.

Pros: BISCUITS AND GRAVY, cheese sauce, s'mores bar

Cons: burnt spots/taste

Desserts (such as smores bar) are from Valhalla Bakery not Dixie Dharma restaurant. They share the same building. You can find Valhalla Bakery as a separate listing on happycow.

Um...okay? I didn't ask. I know Valhalla Bakery isn't Dixie Dharma but they share the same building. The sweets cabinet is literally at the counter. Like it's not separated by a booth or tucked and hidden away or by a separate entrance. It's a valid addition to the review. You can purchase sweets and food at the same time. From the same people. And they're good.

People are weird...

Yes to everything!

Dixie Dharma shares the Market in South space with Valhalla bakery so that is kind of confusing if it’s your first time visiting. Located inside Market on South, Dixie Dharma is serving up delish vegan comfort food. I love the Brussels sprouts, potato salad or macaroni salad. Never mind just get everything. It’s all good! Everyone that works there is super friendly and will answer any questions you have.

Pros: Comfort food!, 100% vegan, Friendly staff

Cons: Confusing parking/location. , Can have long lines

Amazing staff, incredible food

I love the hippie vibes of the whole Market on South establishment. And they have such unique flavors with their distinctly Southern menu. I love that they also do specials from time to time because their menu is fairly small and unchanging. Hands down, my favorite thing is the breakfast biscuits and gravy. It’s been improved over the years and is even better now than the first time I ordered it.

AH-MAZING! ❤️

It was so nice to find a vegan place that does brunch every day of the week instead of just the weekends. We got the biscuits and gravy with a side of grits. The biscuits were the perfect texture and the gravy was the perfect thickness without being too chunky. The sausage with maple glaze on top is to die for. The Cajun seasoning on the grits made them a touch too spicy for me only cuz I’m very sensitive to spice, but damn they were still delicious! I definitely would recommend this place.

Good vibes but Ok food

Good service. The Mac and cheese (garlic) was great. The jackfruit sandwich tasted weird. I think there was orange rinds on it. Didn’t like it at all.

Great place for vegan eats

Was just in downtown Orlando for business over the weekend and looking for a vegan-friendly place to eat. Just 2 miles from the hotel, a 5 minute Lyft ride; great food selection, had the Biscuits n' Gravy breakfast option which was delicious!

Highly recommended and will definitely be back next time I'm in Orlando!

Pros: Close to Downtown Orlando, Fast, friendly service, Delicious food!

Wow!

This place is a hidden gem! Everything is vegan, the restaurant is so cool with lovely art work painted on the walls and cool local vegan products for sale like t shirts, burger mixes, soaps, candles and scented mists. I had the hot dogs with a side of mac and cheese and my wife had the kale salad with tatter salad side. Both were incredible and we can’t wait to make the trip back to try more of the menu! They also sell amazingly looking cakes, donuts and cookies along with kombucha‘s and sodas. Definitely worth a visit if you’re vegan or just curious to see what vegan food can taste like, you’ll be blown away!

Pros: Lovely staff and environment , Amazing options, Very very well priced

Cons: None

EXCELLENT food

Was recommended this place by a coworker after mentioning my upcoming visit to Orlando. I had a superrrrr delicious serving of vegan baked mac & cheese and a juicy grilled tomato, vegan mayo topped sandwich. I need to come back to try more things! Menu had several options and apparently it is in a shared place next to other vegan restaurants/side shops.

Pros: Many options, All vegan

Cons: Be nice to have a parking deck that’s not gravel, Small space

Exceptional

This place is incredible. Southern style eats, tons of sweets from cookies to cakes to cheesecake that will blow your mind. Local artisans have a little shelves to form a market. Tincture, jewelry, art, and more available for purchase.

Pros: 100% vegan, Large selection of sweets, Local artisans gifts for purchase
