Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
Direct answers about our vegan menu, reservations, location, dietary needs, and private events.
Is everything on the menu vegan?
Yes. Vegan Renaissance is a fully vegan restaurant. Every dish is made without meat, dairy, eggs, honey, or any other animal-derived ingredient. Our menu draws on Southern and Black culinary traditions, cooked entirely from plants. If you have a food allergy, please tell us when you book or order so our kitchen can guide you.
Do you accept walk-ins?
We will publish our walk-in and reservation policy when online booking opens with our dining room. Until then, we recommend planning ahead for dinner, weekend brunch, and larger parties. Join our newsletter to be the first to know when reservations open, and contact us directly about groups of ten or more.
Where are you located, and is there parking?
Vegan Renaissance is in Jersey City, New Jersey. We will publish our street address with full directions, including the nearest PATH station, parking options, and accessible entrances, when we announce our location. Subscribe to our newsletter to receive the announcement first, and check this page for updated directions.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Our opening menu will clearly mark dishes that are gluten-free (GF), as well as nut-free (NF) and soy-free (SF). A vegan dish is not automatically gluten-free, so please tell us about any allergy or sensitivity when you book or order. Our team will walk you through ingredients and preparation before you choose.
Do you offer private events and catering?
Yes. We host private dinners and celebrations and cater events. Share your preferred date, guest count, and vision through our private events form, and our team will follow up with menu options, minimums, and pricing. We recommend reaching out as early as possible, especially for weekend and holiday dates.
