Though I'm neither vegan or vegetarian, I really enjoy eating as healthy as I can... most of the time, anyway! It makes me so happy to see spots like this in my hometown, beautiful eateries celebrating mindful eating with clean ingredients. So often restaurants in this vertical are more casual, which I certainly enjoy, but it's really nice to have a more elegant option as well. And Frida's certainly looks the part! Though you won't feel out of place if you are dressed down. On a recent weekday afternoon, I met a gal pal for lunch at Frida's. We both ordered the same salad as she highly recommended it: the taco salad with the addition of sunflower taco meat and gluten-free chips for an additional $2.75. Crunchy romaine, cheddar jack, black beans, black olives, tomatoes, red pepper, scallions, avocado, and house-made chipotle ranch made for such a healthy yet unbelievably tasty meal. Coming in at $14.25 for the souped-up large, it's a touch spendy but well worth it! The salad is truly a generous portion, which translated into a very light dinner that evening. Can't wait to eat my way through the entire menu, there's truly something for every palate and dietary restriction at Frida's! read more

Frida's - The incredible taco salad topped with sunflower taco meat ($2.75 extra). - Vegetarian Near Me - University City, Missouri

The food was just basic. I mean, nothing special that I couldn't have made better at home. Flavor was missing, and for a $12 1/4 pound vegetarian burger, I think it was too much - and tasteless. Did I say bland? The two stars were for the two male waiters who were awesome. read more

The staff was nice, the restaurant (well, Diego's I suppose!) was very cute inside. I'm vegan and my partner is not, we ordered two apps (hummus & bread), a beyond burger, the steak burrito. The food was fine, not great. They don't cook with oil and apparently they also do not cook with salt. The roasted potatoes were just bizarre since they were toasted with no oil and the hummus plate tasted like nothing due to the under salting. The waiter brought me a salt shaker which had the Himalayan salt in it (this is just clay and salt in a shaker despite what health foodies may claim) and I had to shake so much out to get through the clay to the actual salt. Overall, I wouldn't go back. I find it confusing that their menu says it's all vegan minus some dishes and then I couldn't tell if the shrimp or salmon add ins were also vegan or not. Just confusing! If you really are against the idea of consuming salt and oil though, you may enjoy this place. I just can't do it! I need my salt. read more

We came across this fabulous restaurant while visiting from Los Angeles. I am a very long time vegetarian and while my husband is not, we could not have enjoyed the food more. Beautifully presented food and lovely ambiance. We had the Frida Burger and enchiladas. Absolutely fabulous and well priced. read more

First, let me say that I am not (yet) a practicing vegan. But, for the most part I do eat vegan or vegetarian. I had the perfect vegan lunch, today, with the featured Mushroom Swiss Burger. I asked them to make it vegan with Vegan Mozz. The server, also, accommodated me with a last minute request for a gluten-free bun. The burger was like biting into a beef (gasp!) stroganoff. It just melted in my mouth with every tasty bite. I had the gazpacho, as well. Slightly complex in flavor, but oh so tangy and tasty with mild hints of jalapeño. The server was very kind, attentive and answered my questions promptly. Frida's will always be one of my favorite restaurants. read more

Beautiful atmosphere, attentive service, yummy food, so dang expensive. Frida's is a great place for vegetarians and vegans. It features a really tasty and fairly expansive menu with lots of seasonal items. The service is attentive and friendly. Our server Rachel was really great at answering my questions. Even though I frequently eat veggie forward, I am not a vegetarian and had quite a few questions about specifics. We all enjoyed wine and sangria. Check. One person ordered falafel and while she said it had nice flavor, it was extremely dry. One friend ordered their veggie enchiladas and the sauce was delicious - she thoroughly enjoyed them. The chickepea tuna wrap was delicious - but THERE's NO TUNA, nor does it taste like tuna, so why would you put that on your menu? Tricks and deception. I enjoyed the award-winning Frida burger. I don't know what the heck was in it, but it was really quite tasty. It was served on a Companion bun and I added avocado, mozzarella and spinach to the burger. Our lovely Rachel asked if I would like to try the skinny fries, with no oil or fat and I decided to give it a try. First off, if these are how air-fryers cook items, I don't have a glowing review. They tasted like stale potato sticks, rubbery. Seasoned fine, terrible texture. We split a chocolate 'ganache' with strawberries for dessert and it was tasty. Cool. Then we got the check - split, nbd. My burger and potato sticks ended up being over $18! $18 for a burger and potato sticks. Even the fancy Clayton restaurants and grass fed burger joints don't charge you that much. And I didn't even have any meat - just veggies and soy. The dessert was $9 - the same as my wine. Desserts should not be as expensive as a glass of wine. Tasty burger, great service and company - way too expensive. read more

New to the area from California and heard about Fridas. Went in about 1:30pm on Monday 2/26/17 for a party of 3. It was a nice crowd in there but we were greeted immediately upon our arrival. Waited about 2-3 mins as they got a table together, no worries because the decor was super dope so gave us a chance to peep it. We were lead by JULIA to our table she was super nice, not like the fake I'm at work so let me act nice nice like genuinely a nice person. She gave us our menus and brought us water which was being blessed with some Mango x Strawberry that you could see floating in the water jug which was unique and it was yummy. We placed our orders: Steak Burrito, Quesadilla x The Frida Burger. The order came in a timely matter and was good. (See Below) Pros: -JULIA -Vegan -Greeted when we walked in -Fruit Water -Place was clean -Food Was Yummy And Delivered Hot -Bathrooms Spotless -Not To Loud even when it had a nice crowd there -Very Good Sized Portions -Hella Mustard( iLove Mustard JULIA hooked it up) -JULIA even let us try some chocolate Mousse (hey hey now don't you go in there asking for a sample of that lol we are new to the area so she allowed us to which we will be back for; but we had stuffed ourselves and even took some food we ordered to go but that was sooooo good) Cons: -0 It was a excellent experience no complaints and we will be back ... sooner than later read more

For a very expensive meal, almost everything was disappointing. We were the first customers of the day as they opened, yet the fries were soggy and stale and cold. The Brussels sprouts were also soggy and lacked flavor. The burgers were prepared sloppily, with a small dollop of barbecue sauce in the middle of the bun only. The smoothie was tasty. We just feel they are passing off uninspired, sub par food as something gourmet and creative. Would only return if they step up their game. read more

My friends picked this place for lunch, I've heard about it, so decided to try it out. The staff is very friendly, we sat outside cause the weather was beautiful. A waitress brought out some strawberry/pineapple infused water and it was very good. Having tried a few different vegetarian/vegan restaurants, this place ranks the highest as far as food taste goes. My biggest gripe is the prices. For 3 people our bill was $70 for lunch. I don't frequent vegetarian/vegan places to often, but to me, the price was a bit excessive. We got a Frida melt ($13 + a kale salad), Raw fettuccine ($11 for raw zucchini), loaded taco flatbread ($17!!!), side of fries ($4 for a small plate of basically just crisp skin), and a sangria ($8!). The Frida melt was very good, the raw fettuccine was basically just raw zucchini in a white sauce that didn't taste like anything. The loaded taco flatbread was good, but for $17, you should be getting a whole pizza for that price, not a personal size! The fries are air fried, they give you a small bowl for $4, our bowl was basically just crisp skins. I would come back to try the other foods if the prices were more reasonable for the amount of food you get. $13 for the Frida melt special wasn't a bad deal, I got twice as much food as the person who ordered the $17 flatbread. read more

The food was delicious! I want to try everything on the menu. The interior was also really nice, and the service was fantastic and very attentive. I had one of their burgers with the kale salad, and both were amazing. read more

I live in Los Angeles but every time I come in town to visit my mom I have to have at least a few meals at Frida's. The team there is exceptional and make you feel like family. Healthy goodness and great menu! Whatever you do don't leave without having their avocado mousse for dessert! #teamfrida's read more

I eat a meal from Frida's about once a week. At least. Lazy alert: they deliver to my apartment and I've only actually been inside of the restaurant once. I know, judge away. But at least I'm getting healthy vegetarian eats delivered instead of a pizza! Don't hesitate to dine in here. The interior is bright, beautiful, and welcoming. They'll greet you with a glass of infused water right away, and who doesn't enjoy that? The service is friendly and attentive as well. You guys, this food is healthy and incredible. I've never had something I didn't enjoy. These are a few of my favorites: *The taco - my top favorite! Ever had sunflower taco meat? Don't rule it out, because it's really wonderful and almost has the texture of refried beans (which is perfect for a taco, clearly.) It's also filled with cheddar jack, crimini mushrooms, red onion, scallions, avocado, tomato, romaine, pico de gallo, and sour cream. The brown rice tortilla is crispy and holds it all together so well! *The protein power plate - organic red and white quinoa, black beans, grilled zucchini, red pepper, red onion, avocado, tomatoes, chipotle crema, scallions, and a sunny-side up egg. It's amazing. *Sausage and kale hash - steamed kale, vegan sausage, zucchini, crimini mushrooms, bell pepper, onion, rosemary roasted red potatoes, and a sunny-side up egg. The hummus is good too, and you should try one of their fresh juices. Frida's makes you feel healthy while satisfying your taste buds, too. I'm so grateful for this place! read more

Frida's is located in an old school strip mall on Delmar at the corner of North and South in the west end of University City. It's grouped with a yoga business, a massage business, a custom fitness business and other appropriately matched businesses. Fridas is primarily a raw vegan order at the counter eatery with lots of healthy options. I stop in regularly for fresh juices and smoothies and I have eaten lunch there several times. Last time ordered vegan raw tacos with sunflower seed mousse. lettuce,pico de gallo, scallions, avocado (made like a lettuce wrap).-very good, I also had ginger, apple, kale, and lemon juice to drink and avocado mousse with coconut and maple syrup for dessert. All were good with interesting flavors. Of course you pay for the casual fresh ingredients ($23,20). Wouldn't be able to eat lunch here every day, but a nice option for sure. read more

I love almost everything there. I go there because of healthy choices. I like the paper straws. I don't feel guilty eating dessert. I was completely dismayed when I left last time to see three of the employees outside smoking. This goes against the healthy and green premise of the restaurant. The picture and scent of the employees smoking in the dirty parking lot has stayed with me longer than the memory of the food. read more

I've been going to Frida's for just over a year now and I have never had a bad experience. I am obsessed with the mushroom Ruben, Frida burger, and "turkey" avocado wrap. I'm not a huge fan of the BLT or the gyro however it seems the gyro has been updated and I am willing to take a second chance. Charlie has taken care of me on several occasions and is very attentive. This is one of my favorite spots to dine alone! read more

I stopped into Frida's for a late lunch today. I have been dying to try this place. So glad i finally did! Lots of bright, natural light and adorable decor. I was expecting more of a small, "order at the counter" cafe, but it's actually very spacious and "fancy casual"...if that's even a thing. I was greeted and seated right away. Adam was a doll and answered all my questions with spunk and a smile. Cucumber and peach infused water? Yes please!!! I ordered the taco which was huge! Lots of fun, fresh veggies with seasoned sunflower meat stuffed into a brown rice tortilla. Impressed. If i chewed slowly enough, for a moment i thought i was eating an authentic Jack in the Box taco. Good ol' college days. Anywho, my tab was $10 and I will be a (frequently) returning customer. read more

Damn it was a good day @ Frida's. No barkin' from the dog, no smog. The sun was shining and the weather sweet. The outdoor seating glorious, the infused water fantastic, and to boot they were offering an apricot sangria. Taco was huMonGous, and the half-order Caesar salad (with eXtra croutons!) was crisply bangin' and super big enough. read more

Impressive! Had the mexican quinoa wrap - filled with absolute deliciousness. Would definitely order again. Loved every bite! The wrap came with a side kale salad that was awesome. Well here's where we go from a good restaurant with good food to OMG ... it all comes down to service. Sara went above and beyond to not only help me place my order (I of course had a million questions) but she also gave me some infused water while I waited and even offered a taste of the overflow from a banana/walnut smoothie (gotta go back for that). All of that would've had me loving Frida's but nope there's more ... Sara not only caught me before I drove off to let me know that the Black Bean & Jalapeno Masa Cakes didn't make it in my bag but then she included this lovely surprise for me ... avocado mouse! Thank you Sara! read more

A friend of mine recommended Frida's, an all vegetarian. We had a reservation so when we got there we were immediately seated. Started off with the spring rolls which were pretty good. It came with a mayo-based creamy dressing which was very good. For main course I ordered the Kale salad which was topped off with small tomatoes, fresh avocado, sunflower seeds and their house dress. It was pretty basic but everything came together. My friend ordered the grilled cheese sandwich with a side of dried raisin. She said it was pretty good and tasted well. For dessert - dark chocolate peanut butter cup - OMG so freaking good. It goes really well with their coffee which is also very very good. The setup inside is very organic, wood, plants and sustainability even the straws are made from recycled material. They do have a fairly large selection of foods. Including bacon, turkey, burgers etc but everything is made of beans. So if you're a vegan or vegetarian Frida's got you covered. read more

Came here during my lunch break for a quick bite and was pretty impressed! They start you off with some infused water of the day - mine was a Peach Basil, which was cool and herbaceous. I wanted something light so tried the Raw Fettucine, which was delicious. At first, I thought it lacked flavor but all the yummy goodness was hiding at the bottom, so make sure you mix it up! The zucchini noodles were NOT watery or soggy, they were crisp and held the flavor well. The green onions were a refreshing burst of flavor and the sundries tomatoes really tied it all together. I got the Chocolate Avocado Mousse to end - definitely worth sharing because it was a bit too rich for one person. Still, I struggled not to wipe the ramekin clean. Shavings of coconut and a drizzle of some sort of caramel added some texture and the mousse itself was delectable. Bottom line, great place where "no one laughs your dietary needs". Update -- I went back for another delicious lunch. I dare say, Frida's tops Seeds Cafe and PuraVegan IMHO. The Mediterranean Salad was best dressed (that lemon vinaigrette is divine) and boldly flavored. Tried the peanut butter cup for dessert which is just the chocolate avocado mousse with peanut butter (but still YUM)! read more

YUM. Definitely go! First off, they infuse the water with different fruits/veggies every day. My mom and I noticed that right off the bat because the water was so sweet! It had cucumber and pineapple in it. Very creative, BUT if you have allergies to any fruits be sure to ask what the water was infused with. My mom and I had the hummus plate...a little small for $9 but very delicious!! Sometimes bigger isn't better. NOW. The dish I had was half of the zucchini fettuccini or something like that. VERY good. Love me some zoodles. The sauce was amazing. We got the avocado mousse to go and it's a must try if you like avocado! I will return. read more

Oohhh, I have a new favorite spot! The food is very fresh and healthy, the decor is bright and lively, and the workers are all super friendly. My friend and I split the summer rolls, which came with a truffle-miso dipping sauce--we loved how refreshing it tasted. I also had a bowl of the soup special for the day (chipotle butternut squash with a white bean base) and a half-portion of the raw fettuccine. It was very filling and delicious, but because it wasn't greasy or heavy, I did not feel bad at all about it. I can't wait to return! read more

As a two-decades long vegetarian, finding Frida's and dining there for a recent lunch was joyful. There are lots of tasty sounding items on the menu to select from. We felt a bit overwhelmed, so I took the counter guy's reco and got the soup of the day (cream of jalapeno,of which he offered a pre-tasting) and the vegie rueben sandwich. Both were very satisfying and delish. (I almost bypassed the sandwich suggestion, as I've never cared for sauerkraut. I thought in a place like Frida's it might be okay. I was pleasantly surprised.) I hope Frida's is around for many years to come. We'll definitely be back to try the many options for a customized smoothie and custom sandwiches. Nice atmosphere, reasonable prices. They even offer beer and wine. read more

Only place in St. Louis to get a 'greens drink.' The. Only. Place. We did extensive research! The owner, Natasha, was so nice. I can tell she's still getting established. The menu wasn't up on the wall yet. She was still training new staff. Frida's is great with social media, replying to my tweets about how awesome they are! I also mentioned that I was in from LA, and that my boyfriend would be stopping in soon. When he went in saying he was from LA looking for a greens drink, she instantly knew he was my bf, and mentioned to him that she knew. How cool! Small town feel, big city menu! Best of all worlds! read more

Happy to find a vegetarian restaurant with dine-in in St. Louis and was even happier after trying the amazing food. This is an all vegetarian restaurant with many vegan or vegan modifiable options. The restaurant currently is open for dine-in only on the terrace. Everything felt very safe, staff wore masks and had disposable menus, forks, cups, etc. I got the steak burrito which is vegan and I upgraded to a kale salad on the side. Both were delicious. The burrito had seitan steak that was really delicious and was stuffed with other veggies and jalapeños. It was served with a salsa verde that was really delicious and vegan crema which was kind of watery and the only thing that wasn't amazing at the restaurant. Salad was nice with avocado and tomato. My mom had the hummus wrap which she really enjoyed and said it had a nice lemony flavor. Only other complaint besides the watery crema was the wooden disposable forks were kind of hard to eat with. I thought the price was completely reasonable and what I expect to pay for food this quality. Would definitely recommend and will return if I come back to St. Louis. read more

First visit. Had a $30 gift certificate that was admittedly long expired but they would only honor $15. Why put expiration dates on gifts? The money has already been paid to the business. Instead, Frida's lost a potential repeat customer. Not a smart business move by their staff, who didn't really seem to know what they were doing. The food was good-ish, but not good enough to make up for this unfortunate experience. read more

I had dinner with two vegetarian friends at Frida's on a Wednesday evening in summer. The special was a Moroccan Flatbread with a side salad. I had pesto and vegetables so I chose that. One of my friends went with the mushroom Reuben and the side salad and the other went with the kale salad and the Frida burger with skinny fries. They both loved everything they ordered. I felt my flatbread was slightly lacking in the taste department. The pesto had a spice like cumin or ras el hanout and I didn't love that. The vegetables on it were fresh and the cheese was a little sparse. None of it was bad. Just not a whole lot of taste. Their dessert special for the week was a vegan peanut butter cup. Two of us ordered it and let me tell you, it was rich, dense and delicious. I'd order this again and again. Friendly service and bright airy space. I could be coerced to return especially if they have the peanut butter cup again. read more
