::This is the first whole food plant based restaurant I've been to and I absolutely loved it! Their food is organic, vegan (no meal, no dairy, no eggs) and whole food plant based (less processed foods, no oil, no sugar, minimal salt) and it's extremely nutritious. It's a cafeteria style food system where everyone pays the same price (14+tax, no tip), and you pick your food up in the kitchen, eat and put the dishes back. The day I went there I got a clear veggie soup, 2 salads, sautéed veggies and a side of beans. They also have an organic tea, 2 teas - but I didn't like them. However, my brother absolutely loved the hibiscus tea. This was the first restaurant where I ate and didn't feel weird after eating it lol. Ideally what I'd want to eat for every meal for the rest of my life! I'll definitely be returning to this place several times.

::I couldn’t recommend this place more. There is tons of bamboo growing and it feels like you are in another country. In the evening little Christmas lights are glowing it’s so pretty. Casa de luz has a set menu meal of the day and it’s vegan and Ayurvedic and really lovely if you enjoy healthy food. I adore bringing any friends who visit here :) Nearby in the same “village” complex there is the third eye mediation lounge which is so lovely too and has workshops

::Casa de Luz (the restaurant) and the little compound it’s in (the Village) has been one of my favorite places in Austin since I moved here 17 years ago. The Village is a sprawling complex that feels a little like walking on the beach road in Tulum. Lots of little nooks with hammocks, lounges, twinkling lights, and often incense wafting from one of the many healing spaces hidden inside. I am not a vegan, yet I find Casa de Luz’s pre-fixe vegan/macrobiotic menu predictably delicious, satisfying, and plenty to fill me up. I love going there when I need some clean food in my belly and a soothing atmosphere. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and outdoors is also a little oasis for children and pups. When my kid was little we came here often to get a nourishing meal while he climbed on the play structure. I noticed during my most recent visit that the bathrooms have been upgraded, and there seem to be several new spaces in the compound selling pressed juices, elixirs, and natural remedies. And there are all sorts of activities, like sound baths, qigong, and meditation going on regularly. It really is a little village where you can satisfy a lot of rejuvenation needs in one place. The only slight inconvenience of CDL is that parking can be hard to come by. There’s a lot of it, but it’s shared with city-run baseball fields, and is also overflowing parking Zach Scott Theater down the street.

::It was our first time in Austin and we’re glad we found this very inviting plant based restaurant. The food was perfectly what we were looking for, purely plant based. Nothing processed added and it was a pleasant experience we had with my family. However, it would be great if there were kid-friendly choices. We consider coming back here again.

::I love this place and wish there were more centers like this that offer healthy meals in a peaceful environment! My type of place 100%. The menu is the same for everyone - you only get to chose your dessert / tea, the rest is fixed. Love that it minimizes waste. Thank you! I’ll be back several times during my stay in Austin. If they offered a meal plan I would be eating there every day 🤩
