Vegan soul food with creative dishes, robust breakfast & build-your-own plates
"After hitting pause for a summer regroup, this family-owned plant-based restaurant on North Claiborne in Treme is back and better than ever, serving craveable soul food like dairy-free mac and cheese and crispy barbecue cauli-wings. The Ra pasta is a winner — smoked jackfruit and grilled veggies bathed in coconut milk atop penne noodles and crispy oyster mushrooms — and the jerk-spiced stew, rich with ginger and aromatic herbs, is a don’t-miss if it’s on special." - Beth D’Addono
"A locally owned Treme restaurant that has seriously upped the city’s vegan game, this spot announced it was closing “for now” due to circumstances beyond its control, saying it is temporarily closed until further notice and expressing deep gratitude for the community’s continued love and support." - Beth D’Addono
"I-tal Garden on Claiborne — “i-tal” being a play on “vital” — follows in the footsteps of Sweet Soulfood and Vegan Wit’ a Twist before it, serving creative, crave-able vegan soul food dishes heavy on vegetables, not to mention a robust breakfast menu. Try the I-tal Plate with coconut curry blackeye peas with greens, cornbread, and cauliflower, or the build-your-own option, which offers plentiful combos of one or two veggie proteins with three sides." - Eater Staff

"Starting as a pop-up, I-Tal Garden is a Black-owned plant-based restaurant serving chickpea-battered avocado, cauli-wings, salads, quinoa bowls, and panko-fried mushroom bites as healthy alternatives to traditional New Orleans–style soul cuisine." - Beth D’Addono
