Seed

Seed was the first place I went to eat when I arrived in New Orleans, and it's going to be hard to beat! I actually don't know if I want to go anywhere else because it was THAT good. Seth greeted me when I walked in, and was so friendly. I asked him what his favorite menu item was, and he told me that it was the Tofu "Pork Belly" Bao. So, I ordered that, along with the Chips & Cashew Queso. Everything was so, so delicious. The tofu was the crispiest I've ever had, and the blend of the flavors was amazing. It's probably worth noting that I have COVID-19 Long Haul and my taste has been muted for over a year now. There are many things that I cannot taste well, but I could taste EVERYTHING I ordered at Seed, which was really just incredible and so exciting. For dessert, I ordered the Banana Sundae, which was a great way to cap off the meal. I will absolutely be back before I depart New Orleans, and I can't recommend this restaurant enough!

My partner has been wanting to go here and tonight was the night we finally try it out. We both ate the waffle fries for starters. I had the mushroom tostadas, get prepared to get hands on and saucy. My partner had the noodle salad super good. You must try the lemonade if you enjoy the fresh ingredients. Our server Seth was cool. The vibe was right in the ambiance and the lighting was perfect gotta do it for the gram. Loved it I’m out.

This place was alright, glad we got to visit this part of town but wish the portions were larger for the price. The 2 tacos def should’ve been 3. There was a lot of variety of flavor which can be alright sometimes but honestly it was a little over powering. Best tofu nuggets I’ve ever had! The artichoke balls were awesome in the falafel but over powered with red onions. So all in all, it was ok, probably would have preferred visiting another vegan location over this. Also I wish they had Bloody Mary’s or mimosas. The drink I got was way too sweet. Had to wait to eat my beignets til that night because of the sugar spike from their drink lol

Fantastic food, cool vibe, and excellent service. Portions are generous and presentation is lovely. We went for lunch and had Korean cauliflower appetizer, Tai noodles and mushroom tostadas. It was so good we came back for dinner, but they were already booked up with reservations, so we came back for lunch again the following day to try the mushroom gumbo, artichoke falafel, tofu “pork belly” bánh mì, and a second helping of the Korean cauliflower . Cauliflower was everything we hoped for: crispy, tender all the way through, sweet, a little spicy and savory. Mushroom tostadas were thoughtfully assembled and delicious. Mushroom gumbo was made with a dark, rich roux and was complex and satisfying. Tai noodles were fresh, cool and perfect for summer. Artichoke falafel came on an awesome piece of freshly-made flat bread that was on par with the delicious contents. The bánh mì came with two in the order and was great. The buns were made from scratch, and were light and fluffy. Thank you, Seed, for providing quality that can showcases vegan cuisine and comfort food at its best.

Oh my goodness, all the food here is so amazing!! Definitely off the beaten path but it was worth the trek. The food is unique and delicious. Very good options that are healthy as well. We got the mushroom gumbo, tofu bao buns, cauliflower katsu, and the Japanese noodle salad. All of these dishes are amazing. The bao buns were some of the best I have had and the sauce was awesome. The cauliflower is a MUST try with great sauce and the bread (purple yam milk bread) is SO GOOD! Definitely would recommend those 2. We got the beignets for dessert which were also incredible. I would be here all the time if I lived closer!

Food was so good!! I'm usually a pretty big carnivore but I didn't miss a thing eating here! Everything was delicious and SO flavorful. We came for the vegan beignets, but stayed for the Korean Fried Cauliflower and Mexican Spiced Waffle Fries. The queso on the fries is THE BEST vegan nacho cheese I've ever tried!

Responding to my mound of luggage, my wonderful server, Seth, asked if I was arriving or departing. I shared I had just arrived and Seth replied “welcome home.” This level of care, hospitality, and sense of community spans the entire Seed experience. The plant based retreat boasts a menu of colorful and enticing appetizers, entrées, sides, and desserts, a modern and cozy atmosphere, and friendly team! Shortly after arriving in NOLA, I was conflicted on what to do - too early to check in to my Airbnb yet too eager to venture out to wait around at the airport. I searched for vegan restaurants in the city of gumbo and was delighted to see Seed was just a few blocks from the place I would call home for the week. I booked a table to ensure I would have a place to be after hopping out of my ride but the reservation really was not necessary at 2:00 PM on a rainy Sunday. I lugged in my suitcases and quickly got my table in the turquoise space adorned with ample windows which both welcomed great natural light and served as a lovely view of the moody drizzle outside. Seth, my server, was compassionate, patient, and affirming of my choices. And I concurred the cheesy waffle fries, shockingly smooth yet crispy cauliflower sandwich with purple buttery bread, and fluffy beignets dipped in a sweet caramel drizzle made for a glorious first meal in the Big Easy!
