"Just off Freret on Jena Street, the Bearcat is a swell breakfast and lunch spot with terrific options like chia pudding tofu scramble and chai pancakes with pecans. The vegan-friendly menu includes Buffalo cauliflower and a toothsome bowl with trumpet mushrooms, hummus, cauliflower, and asparagus. Burgers and chicken sandwiches are also good." - Beth D'Addono
