After Serving South LA for Over 50 Years, This Black-Owned Creole Restaurant Just Launched a Vegan Menu

Harold & Belle's, a Black-owned Creole restaurant in South LA, recently added a vegan menu to its offerings, making it a unique and welcome addition to the plethora of vegan burger joints in the Los Angeles area. The restaurant has been serving the community for over 50 years, with a rich history that started with Harold Sr. and Mary Belle Legaux in 1969. The current owners, Ryan and Jessica Legaux, have continued the legacy by introducing vegan versions of classic Creole dishes such as jambalaya, gumbo, and po'boys.

The Geaux Plant-Based menu at Harold & Belle's features a variety of vegan options made from whole food plant-based ingredients, with a focus on avoiding processed meat substitutes. The response to the vegan menu has been positive, and the owners have plans to launch more vegan dishes, offer happy hour specials, and participate in events like the Mardi Gras celebration and the LA County Fair. For those looking to enjoy authentic Creole cuisine in a vegan-friendly setting, Harold & Belle's is a must-try destination in the heart of LA.
