Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Hilton Garden Inn New Orleans French Quarter/CBD

"Ginger Mint Julep Donut from District Donuts Stroll down the lower Garden District part of Magazine Street for great shops and more restaurants. Except, you’ll be full from your meal so you can check out District Donuts for dessert and coffee. Trust us, you’re going to want to leave room to try at least one donut here or get a box to go."

"District Donuts is a cute spot to get a freshly made donut, a coffee, and a delicious burger. There are six donuts on the menu weekly, but there are more than 100 options in the catalog that slip into the rotating menu. There are three donuts to expect on the menu, rain or shine: glazed, cinnamon sugar, and chocolate glazed."

"District provides an ever-changing selection of innovative, creative, and most importantly, delicious doughnuts to its adoring public. They look as great as they taste, and that's saying something. The locally owned biz now has four locations in New Orleans and one in Baton Rouge."

"Uptown/CBDBoth locations of this breakfast/lunch/coffee shop/restaurant divide their menus into “Good Cat” and “Bad Cat.” Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free items are on the “Good Cat” menu, but definitely keep reading down the page for impossibly delicious vegan queso and Buffalo cauliflower in the small plates menu. Breakfast is served all day and if you’re in the mood for a classic lunch, try the vegan grilled cheese with gazpacho."

"This Uptown-based sit down cafe offers the best of both worlds with its good and bad cat menus. While both equally delicious and freshly prepared, the good cat menu offers full flavor with no regret. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free menu items such as pancakes, tofu scrambles, black bean sausage, ranchero and much more."

"Conveniently located in New Orleans Central Business District, the Daily Beet serves a variety of cold-pressed juices, smoothies, and light breakfast bites. Try their house acai bowl topped with goji berries, coconut flakes and a drizzle of honey, or opt for something more savory with their avocado toast made with cherry tomatoes, sea salt and chili flakes."

"Almost across the street from Willa Jean is The Daily Beet, and we also stopped in here twice for a quick breakfast. Not Creole or Cajun, but if you’re in this area and looking for a healthy cafe serving salads, grain bowls, cold-pressed juices, and smoothies check this place out."

"They make fresh, cold-pressed juices and smoothies daily as well as grain bowls and toasts with creative toppings. Try the Beet Benedict toast which features avocado, miso-beet hollandaise and spinach."

"In the words of Ernest Hemingway, Seed is a “clean, well-lighted place.” (Hemingway wasn’t talking about Seed, but his direct prose works for one of my favorite places to sit for breakfast). A vegan restaurant that attracts visitors from all around the city, Seed’s breakfast doesn’t leave you feeling anchored to your seat after you finish eating. And those pancakes will outkick your expectation."

"Seed is the No. 1 vegan restaurant in New Orleans for a few reasons, one of them being that they’re the only place in NOLA to serve 100% vegan beignets. The local, organic ethos that the people at Seed stick to make this a great place if you’re truly looking for cruelty-free and not just taste. We recommend the pad thai or the cashew queso fries."
