Restaurant Morel

This is the place you use to introduce your non-veg friends to some vegetarian foods. Small menu, good food, decent-ish prices, cool vibes.

If I was rating the food only I would rate it 5. Small but delicious menu. The staff was not so friendly. When we went in it was crowded but some seating available. We were told we had to take ours to go...However other people coming were allowed to eat there. This is a nonreservation style restaurant. After a while of watching I noticed the staff was much more friendly to the college crowd then older over 40 such as myself.
I decided to set and eat my food there at a table like I wanted in the first place. It was served in a box without silverware unlike others that were served on plates. The food was delicious. ... the blatant ageism not so much.

Chick-Faux-Le sandwich...a masterpiece!! And I'm not even Vegan!!!!!!

I love Louisville Jerky so I had high hopes for this place, but I left disappointed. I had the Farby, which was made with such a sweet bun that I felt like I was eating dessert instead of a savory sandwich. I also ordered the mozzarella sticks which fell apart as soon as I picked them up. I did like the loaded potato salad and the buffalo chicken dip. I might come back when they open the full restaurant and hopefully have the kinks worked out.

AMAZING FOOD. never dissatisfied!! Only problem is the music is WAY loud every time I go in, other than that, this place is amazing. You ll forget it s vegan while you re eating it.

Everything was delicious and the staff were very welcoming and helpful! :) so glad this place is around!

Great experience. Tried the Chick-faux-le and Mc-Fib sandwiches with seasoned fries and Mac n cheese. Everything was super tasty and 100% vegan. Employees were friendly, service was fast, and prices were fair. The portions were a good size and filling. We will be back for sure

Great food but service could use some work. I know it's a cafe. But the staff mostly stands around and talks. One actively walked away briskly as I tried to call for her to ask where my aloli sauce was.

I love the food period! The customer service is great too, unless they mess up your order. I ordered there three nights in a row because the food was so darn good. They messed up my order and gave me the wrong item. It was too late to go back so I ate it, and let them know what happened the next day. I was not offered a discount or refund on their mistake. I was shocked. I didn't ask for a refund because I really like supporting vegan businesses, but I eat their so much and I was surprised that they did not offer to correct the mistake in any way. I would give 5 stars otherwise. The food is amazing.

Morels cafe has been a pillar of the community since 2016, and I have been a patron almost since the beginning. I love their atmosphere and adore their food. I will be so sad to see them go

Amazing food, amazing concept and amazing workers. I had the chocolate banana pop tart and it was heaven. I could go every day and get something different.

After trying every single vegan mac and cheese I could find, I finally found one that I like. Their chili mac and cheese is amazing and I would highly recommend it. I did not like their buffalo ranch chicken salad because I found it to be way too saucy and spicy. Coming back forsure.

Great vegan comfort foods! Love the chik faux le and pork sliders. The wings are great too! We go here probably twice a month.

Cute decor, delicious riffs on the fast food classics, and with none of the guilt! Loved their Faux Arby's options!

I hope that they expand their menu & add a mini bakery or deserts everything that they have is so healthy and uniquely vegan. I am predominantly vegetarian and so far it is such a break from everything else once in awhile!

Always great food and good portions at a good price. I can't say enough good things about Morel's!

The menu is small but everything on it is great. The food is awesome.

Stopped by this place today during our vacation in Louisville. One of the better vegan places I've ever been to, and I have been a vegetarian for a long time. The chicken sandwich was crazy good and the buffalo wings were delicious. We'll definitely return if we made another trip to Louisville!

I had the philly cheesesteak fries. Delicious but don't go here looking for healthy vegan food it's comfort food. And everything I've had has been so good. The chik faux le sandwich is one of my favorites along with the taco salad. Waffle fries are amazing. My nephew got Mac n cheese and he loved it not knowing it wasn't real cheese. I eat pretty healthy most the time but I do make room for comfort food once in a while and this is the first place I go. I'd recommend to those who aren't obsessed with kale and raw foods.

Vegan food has finally reached the level of mediocre fast food. Nobody would give a real beef n cheddar five stars but the farby is a miracle even if it isn't quite as good. Likewise the Buffalo wings are no bw3 but they're nothing to complain about, at least as good as a home cooked value brand. Having been vegetarian for fifteen years now their food actually makes me miss the real thing... But the real thing was never all that great... But I'm super excited to have a chance to have this as an option.

Delicious!! They were very fast and friendly. Neat place to hang out #teamvegan

I absolutely LOVE Morels! The food is amazing, and great for vegans looking for some good old fashioned bad for you food! The burgers, the farby, it's all amazing! I wish I lived closer!!

Got the chicken sandwich with the Mac and cheese with bacon bits on top. I was really impressed with the quality of the food! It was delicious!

Righteous AF... Great service.. Fire ass steak burger.. If you like it bloody but just not meaty have the impossible burger.
Now I must slap somebody's mama...

You can bring your dad here or bring take out to him and he will not even ask if it's vegan.

Amazing. If this Place was closer I'd eat it every day

I had never tried vegan food before. This place was neat.

Pretty good food! Had the famous pork sliders, which were nice. The atmosphere is appealing, and the employees are nice as well.

Crowded even at 3:30 pm on a weekday. I tried the Impossible Burger and dill potatoes. The burger was delicious and the potatoes while not the creamiest ever, were also quite good. I was impressed by the quality and flavor of the food. I hope that the restaurant will continue to inspire sustainable cuisine.

I wanted to try this vegan location and it did not disappoint! I had the grilled cheddar cheese burger made from impossible meat. It was delicious!

Very tasty Vegan food! Pretty cheap for the quantity they serve

The beyond meat burger is awesome. Very nice & helpful staff. It's a small place with not much setting. They stayed super busy the whole time I was there for lunch. It was around 1p.m. I will definitely go back

First timer here! I went soon as they opened on a Friday for lunch. I have the Backyard burger w/ fries and the Chicken Parmesan sandwich w/ Mac & cheese. I am not vegan. However, the fact that the Mac n cheese tasted cheesy was so confusing mentally because it s not cheese! Lol it tasted delicious as did everything else! I WILL be coming back to experience more from the menu. The workers are pleasant. I sat in the patio area which was lovely as well. I wish I didn t have to come inside for a refill. That was my only con.

The chicken sandwich is so good so are the sliders and the pesto pasta salad. My husband was a nonbeliever when it came vegan food but this place changed his mind!

Delicious vegan food with gluten free options. Celiacs: they use a common fryer so, fries aren't gluten free.

Stopped in for first time today with the girlfriend. They were sampling the buffalo chicken dip and Miyoko cheese and both were awesome. The muffuletta sandwich is bomb, as well as the potato salad. Even ran into someone I know working there, Tony, made the first time even better. This place has 'dope vegan food' and they aren't lying.

Outstanding environment, prices are good the food is good. Great first time experience and you have made me a lifetime customer.

The best thing to ever happen to the Louisville food scene IMO! They even have a nice little store in the back that carries some great Vegan options.

I suggest Morels Cafe for anyone who wants some good food no matter if they are Vegan or a meat eater.

Cons: I know you added a backyard but the place needs some more seats or a second location.

Excellent food and fast service! Only downside is that It can get pretty crowded in there and parking is very difficult so be prepared for that.

The food was delicious, service was great and fast, and the portions were very generous!

I Love This Spot!
All I Can Say Is Go Check It Out!!

2 snaps up. The pulled pork sliders, are something to write home about! Keep up the great work!!!

Their slogan is "Vegan food that doesn't suck" and they live up to it! Everyone is welcomed here and you can't go wrong with any of the menu items, pastries or to go items. Make sure you check out "the forest" while waiting for your food!

Amazing food. Tastes amazing. Good service. Is warm inside

Tasty, not necessarily healthy, but if you want vegetarian food that doesnt feel like vegetarian food this is your place

As an omnivore this place was amazing. Had the chicken sandwich and it was one of the best sandwiches I ve had. Meat or not.

Everything is vegan! And delicious! You owe it to yourself to check this place out. Best vegetarian/vegan restarurant in town!

The food is great. Perfect spot to decide if you are really serious about going into a vegan lifestyle.

Awesome food! Will make you come back till you try it all!

Pulled pork sliders are amazing and staff is awesome.

I agree with the many rave reviews! Vegan junk food that a carnivore like me will enjoy! I had the faux roast beef sandwich and it was a sloppy yummy mess of a vegan fast food feast. The fries were good too. The place has a great vibe, cool atmosphere and if the weather is nice, don't miss the beautiful and relaxing outdoor back patio pergola. Only ding I'd give to my visit was it took a tad long for the food to come out, but no biggie.

Great vegan restaurant. Farby is great. Kombucha is refreshing. Vegan Buffalo chicken dip is delicious. Vegan hard boiled egg was unique & tasty. Cool ambiance.

Best vegan food I've found in Louisville! I don't think a meat eater would be able to tell they were eating vegan food. Good quaint and quiet atmosphere too!

Amazing vegan food and friendly staff, everyone can find something delicious here!

Whenever we can find an all vegan joint while on the road we get so stoked and Morels definitely hits the spot for vegan comfort food. Super chill atmosphere and excellent food.

Amazing indulgent vegan grub. Try the buffalo chicken or diner burger. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Love this place. Easily one of the best vegetarian places in Louisville. I got their fake version of Arby's roast beef, called the "farby". So good! And, if you get the curly fries on the side, they give you tons of them. My only criticism is the drink offerings could be better. Flavored water mostly.

My husband got the "impossible" burger. He inhaled it, but I got a tiny nibble. It's been a very long time since I've had a real burger, but to me, it tasted like the real deal. He said the toppings were great too - fried onions, steak sauce and faux mozzerella.

We will always go back!

The bulgogi tacos aren't on the menu every day, but they might be the best tacos I've ever had.
The Buffalo wings are a perfect amount of heat, great texture, and are a perfect match with the ranch sauce.
Morels has quickly taken the spot of my favorite restaurant in Louisville.

Delicious!!! There is patio seating available on a wooden platform in the back with lovely garden surroundings. This cafe is in a cool part of town. The inside is awesome as well I would definitely come to eat here again and bring my friends with me!

Wow! Amazing place. Fantastic food and a friendly staff.

Great food, whether you are vegan or not. I would recommend this place to anyone, and I've encouraged friends and colleagues to go try the impossible burger here specifically.

If you haven't had the new impossible burger 2.0, you definitely need to!

Simply the best vegan place I've been to. Great atmosphere with a wide variety of vegan guilty pleasures.

The Food is always delicious and the workers have been vaccinated against HEP A!! There Service is fabulous and so is the vegan food !! AMAZING

Delicious food, very cozy.
Building acoustics are weird so it gets pretty loud regardless of how many people are inside.

Perfect vegan food for non-vegans. Not sure if you should go here on a diet, because this food is wonderful.

Holy! Not only is this place adorable, but the food is amazingly. I went with a table full of meat eaters, yet everyone enjoyed their meat alternatives. We actually decided to try out Morel's because my friend has a severe egg allergy. She was able to enjoy a breaded "chicken" sandwich and a donut. Which is such a treat for someone with an allergy that typically has to avoid those foods at all cost.

Chill vibe, great staff, awesome food. Perfect spot to bring non-vegan friends, they'll never know.

Traveled to Louisville for work and this place was a gem to find. Great food, great people. I'm a happy (and full) vegan.

Awesome yummy veggie food with a cool atmosphere. Really liked the music they were playing when I was in there too!

Perfect for non vegans ,Home for vegans yum. love it
