Review of Carmo

We found the most amazing restaurant on our final night in New Orleans — Carmo, a quaint little place where almost everything on the menu is gluten-free (even the fried items!) and where there are tons of vegetarian and vegan items. It’s a tropical restaurant, with menu items inspired by Cuban, Brazilian, Caribbean, and West African cuisine.

Everything was incredible. I was blown away by the Brazilian cheese bread, the quinoa and sweet potato fritters (with corn and beans), and the broken-noodle salad — which had so many inventive flavors that it was an experience in and of itself. And we had gluten-free cheesecake for dessert. This place is a wow.
