Good value healthy meals

Great outdoor playground for kids. Of note, only one option on the menu daily—usually a combination of soup, salad, dressing, and beans. Dessert is extra.

This place deserves infinite stars!

If I could easily get to Casa De Luz, I would probably be there at least 1x a week. Every time I am there, my eyes deceive me and make me think I'm going to be starving afterwards but I'm always completely sated and just ever-so-slightly past comfortably full! The sauces and dressings are so good. You are eating so clean but it's still delicious.

I look forward to checking out the second location on the east side.

Pros: the ambience, the food, not having to think of what to order

Relaxed and delicious

This is an Austin classic place you can go and eat your vegetarian food on your own or with your entire gang. Super relaxed, comfortable and homey… with a post yoga kind of vibe (don’t picture a power yogi, but more a heavily meditated elder yogi vibe).

All ages, community style. Super cute garden.

Savory and Yummy

I enjoyed the food. The menu was limited but a lot of the options were delicious and worth the price I paid for. I went for brunch and tried the soup, oatmeal, and veggies.

Lovely place and food!

Wasn't sure how to order or how things worked but the person on the till was very helpful and chatty
Food was all delicious! I was nervous I might not like it but I really did!
Only just managed to finish it all, great size portion and a nice hibiscus tea to wash it down with!

Awesome atmosphere

The arrangement of the eatery section of Casa might remind you of your school cafeteria. I like its simplicity and one’s overall experience at Casa as a whole.
Added bonus - it is also right next to a nice walking trail, park, and a short walk to botanical garden.

Lovely Meal

Delicious, home-made, macrobiotic food. The tortillas were sublime. The soup and veggies also very tasty. All the food is well-seasoned. I enjoyed the coconut chia pudding for desert.

I found food heaven!

As a primarily wfpb vegan, this place was magical. The food was delicious and Eduardo took the time to show me around and the concept. The menu changes daily. Nothing processed, no processed oils. Just delicious plant based foods.

Pros: Whole food plant based , Everything prepared on site , Incredible flavors

Healthful oasis

I had lunch here while visiting from out of state as part of a yoga retreat -- a perfect fit! The restaurant is just one area of a tree-filled center designed to promote physical and spiritual health. A fixed menu is prepared each day with soup, salad, and multi-course main plate of all vegan, organic and gluten-free ingredients. The day I was there, the menu consisted of miso soup with mixed veggies; garden greens tossed in pumpkin seed, pecan and basil dressing; basmati with mixed veggies; pinto beans; mixed veggies with almond/walnut/pecan sauce; kale with sunflower seed dill sauce; and pickled beets with red cabbage. They offered multiple beverage options, and I chose hibiscus tea. There were also multiple dessert options for additional charge, and I chose pecan pie. Everything was delicious, and left me feeling very good after my meal.

Pros: Delicious food, Healthful ingredients, Beautiful atmosphere

Delicious, wholesome, healthy vegan food

I loved this gem in Austin! The food tasted so wholesome with clean ingredients. It was delicious. The atmosphere and vibe was very relaxing and peaceful! They have a set meal for each day, which includes a drink. You can purchase dessert, treats, snacks, or other drinks separately.

Great healthy food

Their menu changes each time so check before you go. Regardless, there’s always great food and a great experience. Each time you go in you start out by serving yourself salad and soup. Then they bring out the plate for you. My favorite is by far the tacos.

Must Eat Here

Every time I eat at Casa de Luz I ask myself why I don't do it more often. The food is always fresh, delicious, visually appealing, and filling. I feel good after eating a meal here and I enjoy every bite. Their sauces are creative and delicious, making salads and steamed veggies a pleasure to eat. It's also a low stress place: everyone gets the same meal so you don't have to choose what you want, and the atmosphere is super relaxing. There is always a soup and the main plate includes a grain, beans, salad, steamed vegetable, pickled vegetable slaw, and the main entree (last time I got a mushroom and veggie taco on corn tortilla with guacamole, another time it was mixed veggies). You can see the daily menu online. They serve three meals a day, but I've never had their breakfast. They also sell desserts separately, but I'm always too full to get one.

Pros: Everything is vegan and gluten free
