Carmo 527 Julia Street, New Orleans, LA 70130

"This was probably my favorite restaurant while visiting New Orleans. So many vegan options to choose from. I had the vegan Trifongo and vegan Brazilian cheese bread. The trifongo was so authentic and delicious, and the cheese bread was great too. I got there just after they opened and it was already starting to fill up. I can see why people love it. So glad I came across this place."

"Amazing food and service was excellent. We had a late lunch here, so there were only a few people there but this place is highly recommended. We had the sweet potato fritters, Rico plate, cucumber salad and red beans and rice - all were excellent!"

"Beautiful restaurant with lots of wooden bench tables. Haitian artwork surrounds each dining area, enough for the restaurant to double as a gallery. We had a large 50 to 60 person party in the back dining area. It's the only restaurant visited during a 11 day work trip to New Orleans that had vegan meat options. We attended a brunch with gluten free tortillas and vegan sausage, all kinds of pastries and jellies. It was amazing! Clean bathrooms, friendly staff. An absolute must visit if ever in New Orleans."

"Really loved the vibe and music. Service wasn't the best. We ordered one appetizer and the vegetarian Rico. The Rico was served cold even though it should have been hot. I had to ask the waiter for more water, and she didn't check on us other than taking our order and serving food. It took a long time to even pay the bill. I'd go back for coffee or a glass of wine, but the food was way too expensive for what it was (just serviceable) and the service was lackluster."

"Cute spot with a loft vibe. A healthy spin on some well known Caribbean dishes. Plates are very pleasing visually, however, for me they, the do not match in flavor profile. Eating vegan or healthy also comes with a higher price tag. So be mindful of that if choosing to come here. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and street parking."
