| - NOLA is a can't-miss for all you adventurous diners. There are definitely some unique options on the menu. I was skeptical, but any restaurant that offers a vegetarian/vegan menu earns some brownie points automatically. The decor exudes an upbeat, jazzy atmosphere to complement their New Orleans vibe. I'm a sucker for unique restaurant themes, no matter how corny.
They provide lunch specials where you can mix and match soup, salad, and sandwiches, but unfortunately, the vegetarian selections are not included in this deal. I ordered the Spinach Summer Salad to start and it was delicious. Fresh and fruity with a nice crunch from the almonds. After cleaning off the salad, it was time for the Vegan Rice Creole. Amazing!! It's essentially rice mixed with a tomato salsa topped with carrots and peas. I know it sounds a bit off, but trust me, it's phenomenal. The portion is also big enough for a second meal which is always a plus.
Oh, by the way, the voodoo fries are a must! I'm not sure what dark magic they use to season the fries, but I couldn't stop eating them until every last one was gone. Insanely addicting!
