Veggie NOLA – A Comprehensive Guide to Vegetarian and Vegan Dining in New Orleans, LA

Trevor S.
Welcome to Veggie NOLA – your ultimate guide to discovering the best vegetarian and vegan delights in New Orleans! Growing up in the River Parishes, I know firsthand the challenges of finding meat-free options in a city renowned for its rich, Southern comfort food. There's always that one friend in every group who is vegetarian or vegan, and they often end up piecing together a meal from sides while everyone else indulges in the main event. That's why I created Veggie NOLA. I want to ensure that our veggie-loving friends aren't left out and can experience the full culinary magic of this vibrant city. From cozy cafes to gourmet restaurants, this guide is packed with spots that cater to plant-based diets without compromising on flavor or authenticity. Whether you're a local or a visitor, my guide will help you navigate New Orleans' food scene and savor the best it has to offer. So, dive in and explore Veggie NOLA – where Southern hospitality meets veggie delight!

For the "Veggies"

Welcome to the Vegetarian section of "Veggie NOLA!" In many European countries, vegetarians are endearingly referred to as "veggie" –  which I think is super adorable! Here, you'll find a curated list of restaurants in New Orleans that offer a variety of delicious vegetarian dishes. As you’ll see below, I’ve made note of the restaurant also carries vegan options as well as options for meat lovers.
