Health-conscious chain with vegan options, fresh ingredients
"New Orleans’s location of the rapidly-expanding Oprah Winfrey-backed healthy restaurant chain opened in September with a wide-ranging, colorful menu of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. Open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, the seasonally-changed menu offers starters, salads, bowls, pizzas, burgers and sandwiches, and entrees, all crafted in line with the highly debated anti-inflammatory diet." - Clair Lorell
"I visited the new New Orleans location of True Food Kitchen on the retail floor of The Julia in the Warehouse District; the health-conscious chain (28 locations in 12 states) emphasizes vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options anchored by Mediterranean and Asian flavors and focuses on seasonal, sustainable, organic ingredients aligned with the anti-inflammatory diet." - Eater Staff
"I'm reporting that True Food Kitchen’s New Orleans location opens today on the retail floor of The Julia in the Warehouse District. The Oprah Winfrey–backed, Dr. Andrew Weil–created chain (Winfrey is an investor and sits on the board) has 28 locations in 12 states and emphasizes ingredient-led, health-conscious menus with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options; many dishes are anchored in Mediterranean and Asian flavors but the focus is on healthy, seasonal, sustainable, and organic ingredients aligned with the anti-inflammatory diet. The new spot at 801 St. Charles Avenue serves lunch and dinner daily (11 a.m.–9 p.m. Monday–Thursday; until 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday) and opens at 10 a.m. for weekend brunch, and presents itself as a chef-driven restaurant with a scratch bar, seasonal creative dishes, and handcrafted cocktails with a healthy twist." - Clair Lorell
"Arriving at 801 St. Charles Avenue in the Warehouse District (also in The Julia) on Wednesday, September 25, True Food Kitchen is the rapidly expanding, Oprah‑backed health‑conscious chain that emphasizes vegan, vegetarian, and gluten‑free options and draws on Mediterranean and Asian flavors. The casual, full‑service restaurant focuses on healthy, seasonal, “sustainable,” and organic ingredients in line with an “anti‑inflammatory” approach, and will be open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch while serving wine, local beer, and cocktails made with fresh juice and house‑made syrups." - Clair Lorell
"I’m curious about the Oprah-backed True Food Kitchen coming to 801 St. Charles Ave. in the Warehouse District (also in The Julia), a rapidly expanding health-conscious chain that emphasizes vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options and draws on Mediterranean and Asian flavors but focuses primarily on ingredients. True Food says it uses healthy, seasonal, “sustainable,” and organic ingredients aligned with the so-called anti-inflammatory diet; the casual, full-service restaurant will serve lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, plus wine, local beer, and cocktails made with fresh juice and house-made syrups." - Clair Lorell
