The Daily Beet

Great little hit of freshness amongst the meaty grease of LA state capital. The Daily Beet specialises in health foods as well as vegan and veggie offerings. The menu is well thought out and accommodated well to our group which included a celiac, veggies and vegans- which is a big ask in the culture here! Nonetheless, the food was fresh and delicious and there was a plethora of offerings for everyone. Many of the non-vegan menu items had a “make it vegan option” whereby ingredients such as egg were swapped for tofu. Prices are reasonable- I had a breakfast burrito accompanied by a rather expensive cookie ($10, similar price to the burrito!) and a cream soda. Being close to the superdome, this would be a great spot for game day bites or before watching Taylor Swift perform her 3 hour set list on the eras tour.

I would give 6 Stars if I could. For an early morning breakfast, there is no other option near the French Quarter. Whole menu available for breakfast.. you can get a curry, a salad or traditional breakfast and smoothie / juice. Menu clearly marked for gluten free and nourishing vegetarian options. Very very delicious and friendly service. Fast and low prices considering all the ingredients. Nice decor and truly an oasis! PS, you don’t need to be gluten free / vegan or vegetarian or health conscious to have a great meal here!!
