About This Location

Health-Driven Dining on St. Charles Avenue

The Central Business District location of True Food Kitchen sits inside The Julia @ Saint Charles, a mixed-use development at St. Charles and Julia. The dining room pulls locals and visitors from the Warehouse District, Garden District, and downtown offices for lunch meetings, weekend brunch, and pre-theatre or pre-Superdome dinners.

The patio is built for New Orleans' long temperate season and leisurely weekend meals. A private dining room seats up to 36 for celebrations or business gatherings, while the main dining room serves the full menu, grounded in seasonal, anti-inflammatory cooking.

“ True Food Kitchen is one of my favorite places in Houston, so when I found it in NOLA I knew it would be a safe bet. Super gluten-free and dairy-free friendly — and delicious! To my surprise, they even had local New Orleans dishes adapted to their style, which I thought was brilliant. We stopped by in the afternoon, so we shared a gluten-free, dairy-free pizza which, despite my dad’s skeptical look, turned out to be so good he couldn’t stop eating it 🤣. We also enjoyed their classic GF/DF cookies and the pumpkin pie. It was a bit cold inside the dining room, and our server was handling all the tables alone, yet she still managed to give us great service, and they even adjusted the temperature. Always recommended! ”★★★★★Pao Dopazo · 5 months ago
“ This place is great, the staff is so thoughtful. Chloe sat me where I could watch the parade through the big windows while I had a quick dinner. The food was yummy, I had a couple of veggie starters as my meal. Meal the brussel sprouts were a little spicy the way I like it, and the cauliflower really hit the spot with the added texture of the pepitos. I'm really glad we decided to post up for the parade by this restaurant and I will definitely be back. ”★★★★★Brandy Compton · 3 months ago

Built around Dr. Andrew Weil's anti-inflammatory food pyramid: whole foods, plant-forward proteins, healthy fats, and seasonal produce.
