Can handle just about anything, including ovo-lacto. Pie in the Sky Pizza 1818 Magazine This is a veggie pizza place. Bennachin 133 N. Carrollton Vegetarian soul-food. Veggie jambalaya and African vegetarian dishes. Old Dog, New Tricks Exchange Alley in the French Quarter This place is a full-fledged vegetarian restaurant right in the Quarter. The Apple Seed Shoppe 336 Camp St. 504.529.3442 advertises itself as a vegetarian/health food place cheap appx. 6 blocks walking distance not necessary Note: This is primarily a lunch place for folks who work in the CBD. I don't think it's got dinner hours. Additionally, there are the following restaurants, all within walking distance of the downtown Marriott that are sympathetic to the needs of the vegetarian diner. I can't say specifically that they'll be able to accomodate the requirements of a strict vegan, but a phone call to any of them will settle that. The Italian places (Anacapri and Bacco) as well as La. Pizza Kitchen should be able to handle most requests, since their menus are olive oil and semolina flour-based. Wish I could help more, but Creole cuisine doesn't really lend itself to vegetarian interpretations. Anacapri 320 Decatur 504.522.9056 When I put the question of vegetarian restaurants to local food critic Tom Fitzmorris about a year ago, he first suggested Andrea's in Metairie, and Anacapri, both owned by Chef Andrea Appuzzo. Chef Andrea will make just about anything anyone asks for, if he's got the ingredients in the kitchen. Bacco 310 Chartres St. 504.522.2426 Owned by the same folks as Commander's Palace and Mr. B's. Italian, should be able to handle a pasta/veggie type vegetarian dinner. Cafe' Sbisa 1101 Decatur St. 504.522.5565 Should be able to accomodate vegetarians. Louisiana Pizza Kitchen 95 French Market Place (in the old French Market) 504.522.9500 Gourmet pizza place, regularly has "vegetarian" pizzas on the menu. Samuari Sushi 609 Decatur 504.525.9595 Sushi Bar a few blocks away from the Marriott. Can accomodate vegetarians to the extent that just about any sushi bar can. These are places that I haven’t put addresses to (places people have e-mailed me about): Jack Sprat's Vegetarian Grill (Carrollton) East African Harvest (Gentilly--near race track) The Jerusalem Cafe on Carrollton offers a wide variet of meat free foods-- falafal and stuff...
New Orleans, LA
