Kindred was a vegan restaurant located at 7537 Maple Street in New Orleans, Louisiana. It opened on January 3, 2020, with the aim of offering another all-vegan dining option in the city. The establishment was woman-owned and operated as a small, local business.
In December 2024, Kindred closed its doors. This closure occurred shortly after the restaurant was featured in an episode of "Kitchen Nightmares" that aired on January 28, 2025. In the episode, Chef Gordon Ramsay highlighted issues with the restaurant's cleanliness and organization.
Prior to its closure, Kindred offered a variety of vegan dishes, including starters like fried Brussels sprouts and yuca fries, mains such as the meatball sub and shrimp po'boy, and brunch items like French toast and gluten-free cinnamon buttermilk waffles.
For those seeking vegan dining options in New Orleans, other establishments such as Sweet Soulfood and Ital Garden continue to serve the community.
