It was very good. But needs more options

It’s was few options but taste good. With the kind of food they use to cooked, it’s possible to have more possible of vegan options

Pros: Taste good , Excellent service, Good price

Cons: Needs more vegan options

If you’re craving greens

We were in New Orleans for four days and ate here for lunch on the last day. I wish we had come sooner because I would have eaten the Gumbo Z’herbes (which is vegan) multiple times. There was also a white bean vegan dish of the day. The Gumbo Z’herbes was a deliciously spiced bowl of greens and red beans served with rice. I miss my daily greens when I go on vacation and this was exactly what I needed. Very reasonably priced too.

Pros: Vegetarian and vegan menu page - just ask, Daily veg dish of the day, Greens!

Not what I expected

The vegan special was black beans and rice and while it was good, I was expecting a bit more.

Pros: Cool ambience

Cons: One vegan option

Tasty but small portions

Good knowledge about vegan dishes - vegan special advertised on board. My server was able to advise me about vegan sides too but the one I wanted wasn’t so I just had the special - black beans and rice. The portion was very small considering it is just beans and rice (ie cheap ingredients). I’m not sure it’s the best value for money. We didn’t get some of the items we asked for either, I think they are just very busy at the moment.

Pros: Vegan options displayed, Knowledgable staff, Tasty food

Cons: Small portions, bad value , Service not super attentive

Fantastic vegan gumbo

Loved the staff, esp our waiter Will. Pleased to announce they have a vegan and veg menu in addition to their special. I had a bowl of gumbo and ordered a second. Had greens and mushrooms and was warming to the soul so I had to get a second. The honeydew daiquiri was lovely. My daughter got a virgin and the white beans and rice special with corn salsa and the cup size was just right.

Pros: Vegan menu, Fresh fruit daiquiris, Fantastic vegan gumbo

Very tasty!

We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of our meal and service here. It was very busy when we arrived, and the seating is very tight. We really appreciated that our waiter took the time to get us a separate vegan menu. We both started with the gumbo z’herbes, and it was great, super flavorful. I had the white beans and rice for my entree, which was delicious with just the right amount of heat. My husband had the veggie po boy and enjoyed that as well. Portions were great and it was inexpensive.

Pros: Separate vegan menu, Inexpensive, Easy location to Bourbon Streer

Cons: Very close seating, Loud when busy

Vegan Gumbo

They had two vegan options when we visited, a gumbo and white beans and rice. Both were thoroughly satisfying and provided us with the opportunity to enjoy “traditional” creole cuisine. Our waiter was friendly and accommodating. I recommend to others and would come back.

Pros: Vegan creole food, Friendly waitstaff , Good value

Cons: Serves meat and seafood, Limited vegan options

Exceeded expectations!

I thoroughly enjoyed the white beans with the house salad with pecan and balsamic dressing. The Sazerac cocktail (a NOLA classic) topped off a meal that pleased everyone. Do your damndest to eat in the idyllic little courtyard.

Pros: Filling food, A NOLA classic, Reasonable pricing

Average Food

Only one vegetarian/sometimes vegan option. The gumbo z’herbes was ok for a side. If you’re not too hungry just stop in for a fresh fruit daiquiri and the side soup.

Cons: Black bean gumbo tasted like a can of black beans

Decent food for high price

The waiter told us the only vegan option was the black bean soup. We split it, it was fine but we definitely expected more. Everything tastes good after you put hot sauce on it.

Pros: Nice ambience

Cons: Expensive, Only one vegan option

It was okay

With hot sauce, anything will taste fine. I’m glad they have an option for vegans

Not super vegan friendly

Very popular spot so had to wait in line for quite some time before getting a table. You have to request the vegan menu. I had wanted the white beans but they were out of them so that was disappointing. The waitress kindly offered me a sample of the black beans and I was kind of disappointed with them so I ended up getting the veggie po boy (which seemed silly at a gumbo place) and a small cup of the gumbo z’herbes. The gumbo z’herbes was fantastic and the sandwich was actually quite delicious as well but it was truly just sautéed squash, onions, mushrooms and tomatoes. That’s it. Delicious but very plain. I guess that’s what I get for going to a NOLA gumbo shop and not wanting animal products.

Pros: Waitress was very kind, Gave me a sample of black beans, Yummy

Cons: Long wait, Tables are all crammed in pretty tightly, Restrooms legit look like airplane bathrooms

Surprisingly delicious!

I was a little disappointed when told the vegan option of the day was rice and black beans. You can get that anywhere, I thought. Boy, was I wrong! The spice blend was absolutely delicious, unlike anything I've had before. Also tried the veggie gumbo, wasn't sure what to expect, and was blown away by that as well. Seating was in a charming outdoor space. Server was very attentive and sweet.

Worth the wait

We had a 20 min wait to get in, but the staff confirmed vegan options while we were on line. Waiter brought their cookbook to show me the recipes of what I was eating. Great service all around, and the food was so well seasoned. Not many vegan options but what's there is quality.

Great gumbo

Great gumbo option and good to visit with all of your non veg friends, they will be thrilled. I will say, they have very few vegan options but the ones they do have are good.

Pros: Veg friendly , Highly rated for all, Great location

Cons: Few veg options

Skip It

The vegan "gumbo" was watery and looked like a canned rice soup. I also tasted the meat and okra one my friend ordered and it tasted like cat food. Not a good spot for vegans or carnivores.

Cons: Gross food, Busy staff, Impersonal vibe

Vegan menu appreciated but

The vegan dishes were not worth it. I ordered a salad and beans. Presentation was sloppy, the napkins were dirty, I wouldn’t go back.

Pros: Server was nice! The staff is very accommodating , Vegan/vegetarian menu

Cons: Sloppy/dirty, Unhealthy

Solid Southern Food in French Quarter

Had a good experience! Our waiter, Woody, was such fun and a great guy. He showed me their vegan-specific menu (you've gotta ask!) and suggested recommendations for me to make it even better.
I got the old favourite gumbo made vegan, and it was delicious! Actually more filling and hearty than my friends crabfish equivalent.
It's not a place that even tries to be vegan but it's a famous spot in the old town and a definite option if you're with omni friends.

Pros: Dedicated vegan menu, Great staff

Cons: Busy, can be waiting times

Great if you want to try Gumbo

We wanted to try some authentic NOLA food and we found this place that has a special vegan and vegetarian menu. It's a very small menu but the food was excellent. We ordered a gumbo and a vegan po boy (made from grilled veggies)

Pros: Separate veg menu

Cons: Not many options

Only two main entre vegetarian options

Only entres were vegan gumbo (was ok), and rice and beans. Maybe 1-2 appetizers/sides. The server wasn't friendly once she realized we weren't going to order a lot of booze. Apple cider was delicious but $6/glass
