I love neighborhood joints that feel like I'm dining with loved ones. That's the vibe Meals From The Heart Cafe gives me! Okay picture this: New Orleans dishes with a healthy twist. Now who knew that exists? You can essentially get any classic Cajun and Creole dish here, either gluten free or vegan. The vegan beignets are DELICIOUS. I'd put them next to any beignet in the city and they'd beat em in flavor and texture. They are light and airy. Other must try items include the vegan hot sausage po-boy, their signature crab cakes and the shrimp and grits, which are dairy-free and don't feel as heavy on your body, a plus to me! Because walking around New Orleans, especially downtown, you want to eat and drink things that keep you movin! No time to be sleepy and lethargic after a meal. Time to explore! They also have cocktails but I opted for the fruit-packed Power Shake. Plenty of seating in the shade near their booth and their area is clean with a hospitable staff. If you visit, tell them LetDatGirlEat sent ya. ;)

In the French Market and made for a solid late breakfast start to our day. The vegan okra gumbo did not look like a lot of food at first but it filled me up more than I realized. The bread was nice too although I have no idea how it is vegan. Must be olive oil. Not cheap, but I know you have to pay for quality, real deal food.

OH MAN. I thought that if you ordered food it was ALL vegan. NO. Nah man nah. I didn't know that so a vegan ate a crab. Oh no. It was very good because I thought OH YEAH!! The texture is so good. Like I remember. Yup. Definitely. Because it WAS crab. The service is good. You just order and then go to the counter when they call you. As for Ambiance, if you're okay with heat, sit at those outdoor tables. If not, order it to go. Next time I know to say VEGAN. At least I got VEGAN beignets. And for those 5 stars. Wowsa. I said NEVER will I ever have these again. WHY? Because I'd eat nothing but them and be 400 pounds eating vegan beignets. These were SO good. Insanely good. Oh man they were perfection. So they DO have a vegan menu but you need to ASK for it lol

This cafe is in the French Market in the French Quarter. It's counter service, and there is a line. I believe that the food is made to order, it took about 25 - 30 minutes for our food to be prepared and it was very good. We ordered crab cakes, poboys and jambalaya. All were hot and tasty. (We witnessed a person being extremely rude to the gentleman behind the counter. He handled the entire incident with grace and patience. He deserves a medal!j Be prepared for the wait, but it gives you time to find a seat - that is pretty scarce.

I got the vegan beignets & krab cake poboys. My non-vegan travel partner got the regular crab cake poboy and the honeyed ice tea. My travel partner confirmed that the beignets and poboys were comparable to much else we've tried in the city so far, so maybe it's just the New Orleans tourist standard? But to my taste, the sandwiches were very bland. I would order them again, but I do wish there was some kind of hot sauce to go with them. The side of potatoes that came with the sandwiches were delish, very flavorful. The beignets were great. Kind of small, but they were the first I ever had so not sure I should be the authority on that! Ingredients seemed very high quality and this meal gave me the energy to run around the city for the next eight hours unlike some of the other greasy meals I've had around here. The service was very fast, and the employees took extra care to be sure we had clean dishes to eat off of in the outdoor market. I'm from the midwest and was kind of shocked that the service workers weren't as friendly and chipper as they are in my neck of the woods, but after checking out more local shops and restaurants I definitely feel it's just the way things are down here. Now that I know what to expect, I would totally eat here again. Just remember they have a separate vegan menu, and they serve real meat and fish! I wish the business very well :)

This kiosk-like restaurant is located in the French market. We came here one a Friday afternoon for lunch. I was excited about trying some gluten free items, particularly the beignet as it has been years since I've had one. Overall, the food was ok. I ordered the crab po boy and gf gumbo. The crab cake was tasty. The bread could have been better. I liked the gumbo but it could probably use more seasoning for most people. My companions were not a fan of the black bean po boy (I tasted the protein and admittedly it was a bit burnt). The beignet left a bit to be desired. It was more gummy than I expected. I think if one has dietary restrictions and want to try traditional new orleans cuisine they should give it a shot. If not, there are definitely other places that are better.

Excellent seafood, and even vegan options, which is nice to see. The shrimp and grits had a very flavorful crawfish sauce. The crab cake was not quite up to Maryland crab cake standards, but still good. Service was friendly.

I don't eat pork and finding a place with pork free gumbo was a struggle but really happy to find this place. The gumbo was hearty, meaty and good flavor. The crab cake poboy was also very flavorful. It's a small location so If you go on a busy day like we did, expect to wait a bit. But the food was solid. Would return.

This place hold its own in the super busy French Market, and it was impressive! What's special about Meals From The Heart Café is the plethora of vegan and health-conscious options (Hint: look for the menu printed on green paper). Had to wait a little while for my Bloody Mary, but it was worth it. There are so many good menu options, so I understand people taking longer to place their orders. The cashier/bartender was quick once we got to the front of the line. Strong and flavorful. I'd stop by again for sure while walking around and sightseeing. And to that point, I would not recommend driving there. Stop by while you're walking through the quarter, because there isn't much room for a car, unless you luck up and find a space on Esplanade (not guaranteed!).

The ONLY place to get vegan beignets in New Orleans. This place is pure chaos, especially on the weekend, so be prepared to maybe not find a seat. It's located in the French Market along with other eateries and vendors. Great stop for sure on your New Orleans travels. Anyway.. knowing so, I ordered some of the beignets online to go, so by the time I wandered my way over there, they'd be ready ! And they were ! A little pricer at $10, compared to the non-vegan Cafe Du Monde $4 version. But I wanted the experience of trying some vegan fried dough puffs while in New Orleans. So here we are. They were everything I expected, plus some. Four came in the box, coated with just the right amount of powder sugar. I wish there were more in a box ! Each bite was warm and fluffy. Perfectly sweet and paired well with my last two sips of morning coffee I was lugging around. Highly recommend because I mean.. what other options do you have unless you make em yourself !
