Melinated Cafe

Old Fourth Ward · plant-based comfort food, vegan, vegetarian

Plant-based evening restaurant on Howell Street, open until 2 a.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Its own site describes the food as vegan and vegetarian, so this record stays vegan-friendly rather than claiming a fully vegan kitchen.

Open late. Go earlier if you want a calmer room.
