Am I missing something? - Edit
We decided to go here so we could at least try the vegan equivalent of this southern dish....but am I missing something? As a vegan I really don't understand why you'd bother to go here- we visited in April and the only option they have is black beans with white rice.
Read moreWhy we paid so much money for plain, simple food is beyond me now, but that's hindsight for you. I guess at least we can say we tried it, but even a burrito is more exciting than this (and cheaper). On that note, it's also a rip-off to eat here as a vegan because you're paying for such basic food. Up to you though!

Vegan Gumbo! - Edit
They have a vegan/vegetarian option every day. We had the black beans and white rice. Spicy, hearty and satisfying. They also have a vegan gumbo which I will try next time.

good! but don't expect "gumbo" - Edit
Just finished eating. Started with the vegan dish of the day. It was a white beans and rice Cajun dish. VERY good! Unfortunately I ordered a cup if it and a bowl of gumbo. I LOVED gumbo before I went vegan and grew up 3 hours from New Orleans so I was really excited to have vegan gumbo. This is not gumbo. It is more like a turnip green or collard green soup. It was ok once I added the hot sauce and Cajun spices they provide on each table. For dessert I had a fresh fruit honey dew melon daiquiri. UH-Mazing!! So I do recommend this place. Just don't expect gumbo if you're having the vegan gumbo.

Vegan Gumbo - Edit
It's nice to find restaurants with vegan friendly options especially in New Orleans. Nicely situated in the French quarter the Gumbo shop has a little court yard with tables to have your meal. My wife and kids ordered the Complete Creole Dinner and I the vegan gumbo bowl, I'll give the dish 2 1/2 stars, had to spice it up a little and will give an additional 1/2 star for ambiance and vegan options.

great option!!! - Edit
NOLA is tough on vegan eating but this cute place has a different option everyday and fantastic fresh bread right from the oven. Had a loaf with a nice salad, the pecan dressing was awesome, and another loaf with the black bean soup. Filled me up and I am big eater. :)
Read morePros: close to center of French quarter, price, atmosphere

need greens? - Edit
The gumbo is a chunky greens & beans soup with rice, also there is a vegetarian special which was black beans and rice the night we went. Both were delicious & filling. Fresh baguette and side of corn is amazing. Hot rum cider also perfect. Service was very good. Go here.

Vegan Gumbo! - Edit
My husband visited The Gumbo Shop just so we could have some vegan gumbo. We both ordered the Gumbo Z'Herbs. The only disappointing thing was that it was so good we wanted more. The vegetarian special of the day was white beans and rice. We ordered one serving and it's a good thing because it was huge! The service was great and the restaurant is very charming. Sit outside on the courtyard if you can.

delicious authentic food! - Edit
This restaurant is super charming (especially if you sit in the back part of the restaurant behind the atrium) and the food was amazing! It's a great place to take your omnivorous friends because everyone will be able to find something amazing to eat. The vegan gumbo and white beans were sooooooo good!!! And the servers were crazy friendly, too!

Vegan gumbo - Edit
It is very hard to find vegetarian food in New Orleans, so it was nice to find a vegan gumbo in this place. I found the gumbo rather bland--I assume the other gumbos (non-vegetarian) are tastier. The service and atmosphere are very fine, and in all I found the meal satisfactory.
Read morePros: nice service, nice decor, food tasted OK
Cons: limited options, food is just OK

Definitely worth it - Edit
There is one veggie dish of the day and a vegetarian gumbo. We ordered both. Excellent though the Gumbo was slightly better! Very packed place and queueing is the norm. Staff are quite at tentative but this place is a tourist attraction. Shame about the limited veggie choices....
Read morePros: Excellent food, Attentive staff
Cons: The crowds, Only two veggie main dishes

Cute Place, Nice Meal - Edit
I was recently in NOLA for business, and all meals were generally served at the hotel and entertainment extended to well into the night. I finally had some time to sneak away to grab some food, but couldn't go far. Luckily I found this place very close to my hotel. They apparently have a vegetarian option every day, and this day it was white bean gumbo with rice. Nothing too fancy, but it was delicious. The server was really friendly, and I ate in a beautiful courtyard area.
Read moreThere did not seem to be many vegetarian or vegan options, but as long as they have at least the one entree a day, I would go back if I was in the area.
Pros: Great Vegan Gumbo, Nice Atmosphere, Located in the French Quarter
Cons: Not a lot of Veg Options

Authentic New Orleans-style Vegan fare - Edit
The vegan gumbo was good (and on a colder day would have been even better) and the black beans and rice were good enough after trudging around looking for vegan food with a NOLA flare. It was simple and tasty - and it's a popular place with the locals, which attests to the authenticity of the food. The vegan entry was just slopped into the bowl and could have been presented with more creativity, but If I return to the crescent city, I'll definitely go back.

Alex rocks! - Edit
So based on his girlfriend's recommendation, I went here and didn't even have to ask for him. He is vegan and helped me order the Gumbo Z'Herbs and the special of the day which was white beans with rice. Both were very tasty and he was an awesome server. When he brought the gumbo he said "Here's your gumbo, hippie", which cracked me up!! I was having to dine alone since my husband didn't get to come to New Orleans with me, so having Alex to chat with and his humor made the day a little better.

Good veggie option in area where it's hard to find - Edit
We got a bowl of gumbo zherbes (veggie gumbo) and a bowl of the veggie special, which was black beans and rice. They both were delicious and vegan. They also have several sides of southern creamed spinach, cream corn, creamed turnip greens, and mashed garlic potatoes that were all vegetarian, but not vegan. Our waiter was vegan and knowledgeable about ingredients. Also the staff was VERY friendly. Even waiters from other tab les thanked us for coming in. we had a nice time. I would have given this restaurant a 4 if it offered more veg selections, but we thoroughly enjoyed what we ate.

vegan gumbo - Edit
We had to try vegan gumbo while in New Orleans, so we stopped in to grab some to go. The only vegan one available that day was the Gumbo Z'Herbes. While it was good soup, I had been hoping for a nice thick one instead. Worth trying if you wanna say you had gumbo while in New Orleans.

Good gumbo - Edit
I had the veg gumbo (vegan) which came with a scoop of rice on top which I couldn't verify as vegan. Also, be aware that the French bread was likely not vegan. I suggest ordering a small veg gumbo (no rice) and then the veg entree. A large bowl of gumbo wasn't really enough for a meal.
Read morePros: Good gumbo, Trendy spot, Reasonable prices
Cons: Rice scooped onto gumbo , French bread likely not vegan

Authentic Creole Cuisine - Edit
Finally! Somewhere in New Orleans that is both a) veggie friendly and b) authentic Creole cuisine.
Read moreMust be noted: the veggie options are limited to one - a nightly veggie special that is usually some kind of veggie gumbo or bean casserole. Regardless, it was absolutely delicious, filling, healthy and good value for money. There was a good atmosphere and our server was really lovely - even though we were blind drunk. Highly recommended.
Pros: local cuisine, healthy, cheap
Cons: few options
