YUM. I've been here for both brunch and dinner and the food was delicious every time. I highly recommend the stuffed dates and the breakfast burrito at brunch. The fried ravioli appetizer was a huge hit too, including with our non-vegan friends (the whole restaurant is plant based). I'm determined to try their pizzas next. Plus the service is super attentive and helpful. The atmosphere is cute too, they really do it up for Halloween! And it's in Fell's so it's pretty central and a fun neighborhood to walk around before or after. read more

The Tiramisu Espresso martini was nothing short of amazing, and also about half of what we ordered before leaving. We ordered the Shrimp Scampi knowing full well it was a Vegan dish and I was expecting some sort of "wow" factor on the plant substituted shrimp -- which I did not get. I do not, indeed, see food differently after leaving. Service and ambience were otherwise good. We saw the Industry Mondays deal on $10 "Classic" cocktails and therefore ordered two Oleum Classic cocktails, one Tiramisu Martini and the other, my partner's choice, Cinder & Sumac. We did not get the deal on Classic cocktails ordering from the Oleum Classics -- which is really what inspired me to review the place with a star knocked off. I must specify in this review I am not, nor were my party members, Vegan or Vegetarian -- so we are not the target audience for this establishment. Five stars drinks. read more

One of the best meals I've had in Baltimore! And the service is exceptional! Oleum is an upscale vegan restaurant with a large variety of menu options. Our server, Josie, went above and beyond to take care of us. She provided excellent recommendations and was super friendly and attentive! We ordered the Batata Harra, Saltat Marrakech, and the Stuffed Dates for apps. All of them were incredible, but the Saltat was so refreshing and the Dates truly stole the show. The creamy ricotta filling with red pepper sauce was to die for. For mains, we shared the Lasagna and did a half and half pizza of The Gabriel and the Toum Raider. The lasagna was super savory and very filling--perfect to share! I enjoyed both pizzas, but the Gabriel was my favorite. I loved the combo of the nutty pesto and spicy Calabrian chilis. Josie brought out a cupcake for dessert to celebrate my friend's birthday, and it was probably one of the best vegan treats I've ever had! Can't wait to come back next time I'm in town! read more

Oleum - Batata Harra (gf) and Salatat Marrakech - Vegan Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I had a really good time at Oleum! My daughter is allergic to eggs and peanuts so I had to call ahead of time to confirm these allergies could be accommodated. I had the pleasure of speaking to Tony who not only checked himself but spoke with the chef to confirm the menu was peanut free. * Note there are peanuts used in the cocktails * it was a true pleasure to have an allergy taken seriously and made us more confident to take our daughter there. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very personal and quaint, there was a high chair available for our daughter to use. All the servers were incredibly friendly and helpful. For the food we tried the stuffed dates, miso mushroom bucatini and the toum raider pizza. The stuffed dates were recommended by our waitress and they were delicious. They were both sweet, savory and a little spicy. The walnuts that topped it were a nice touch to add texture to the already soft dates, I enjoyed it a lot. The miso mushroom bucatini was also a favorite of ours as it didn't taste vegan at all to us. It was creamy and the pasta was cooked well. My daughter enjoyed this a lot. The pizza wasn't my favorite but I'm also not a huge fan of vegan cheese so that is my fault but the miso mushroom bucatini was truly so delicious. Overall I really enjoyed the experience, the service was impeccable and I would definitely visit here again! read more

Finally got to stop by Oleum for dinner! If you don't already know, everything here is plant-based and there's plenty of gluten free options. We ordered the "shrimp" scampi, half kale caesar salad, half buffalo chicken and half buffy pizza on GF crust, and the blackened "chicken" alfredo pasta made GF. The shrimp scampi was an impulse order and wasn't my favorite. If you're vegan or veg and haven't had shrimp in a while, it'll probably blow your mind but as a meat eater, I wasn't a fan. The server wasn't able to tell us exactly what the shrimp was made of only that it was plant-based so I do wonder if it was truly made GF. If you have celiac or a severe intolerance, you should probably ask more questions than we did haha The kale caesar was my favorite bite of the whole night. The dressing was creamy and tangy and I loved the shaved vegan parmesan cheese on top. The buffalo chicken pizza was pretty good with a nice kick but didn't have the traditional "buffalo" flavor I'm used to so I assume they make their buffalo sauce in house. The buffy pizza was described as SUPER garlicky in the description but neither me or my friends tasted any garlic. The vegan cheese was melty and gooey though which was nice. The pasta was yummy with a creamy and spicy sauce. I would've loved to see some shaved parmesan on top and some fresh parsley to round out the spice though. Overall, the vibe here is great and the all vegan menu is very impressive. If you have a group with multiple dietary restrictions, this is the place to go for sure. Service at the bar was friendly and quick too! read more

Really solid vegan food. Nice ambiance inside-modern with lots of well-kept plants. Parking was easy on street nearby on an early Monday evening. Server was very friendly but made A LOT of personal recommendations, like 3-5 items per category, and hilariously none of which were items we intended on ordering, but we felt bad ignoring all of them so we opted for the ravioli as a starter and of course it was by far the worst part of the meal. Was not a fan of the sauce on top, it was just four two-bite size ravioli and the ravioli themselves were rather tough. Also didn't take a picture because it didn't look all that nice. At least this item was 20% off for happy hour because $15 for that is a travesty. Sorry. Fortunately, all uphill from there! The blackened Alfredo with blacked chicken was excellent. Pretty sure the chicken is not made from scratch and it's not the best but the sauce is delicious and makes up for it. Plus it's a nice texture to have in the dish. We got the Gabriel pizza which was super spicy and super good. Once again at $25 these prices feel a little crazy, but honestly for 3 modest sized dishes being split between 2 people we left fully sated. Finally for dessert I went for an iced strawberry matcha instead of a dessert dessert... it was good for being vegan. I know I know the dreaded caveat you don't want to hear about a vegan restaurant. But 'tis what 'tis! Despite a few minor criticisms the meal was enjoyable and I fully intend on coming back. While veg options are plentiful in Baltimore, full-on veg restaurants aren't and I love to support it when I can and this one is definitely worth supporting. read more

I went to Oleum for my birthday dinner and noted on the reservation that we were celebrating my birthday. We also mentioned it when we arrived. We were a few minutes late, but we had notified the restaurant ahead of time. The service was fine overall, but there were several things that made the experience disappointing. The menu was not explained particularly well, and a server repeatedly brought us food that we had not ordered. We had to explain multiple times that the items were not ours. We arrived around 6:45 PM for our 6:30 reservation, and we felt rushed throughout the meal because the restaurant had another reservation for our table at 8:15. While I understand that they needed to turn the table over, it made the dinner feel rushed, particularly since we had arrived only about 15 minutes after our reservation time and had notified them that we were running late. I was also disappointed that my birthday was not acknowledged at all. Despite noting it on the reservation and mentioning it when we arrived, there was no birthday acknowledgment or even a simple "happy birthday" from our server. Our table was also located directly next to the host stand, bathrooms, and waiting area. Several delivery drivers came in during our dinner and spoke very loudly while waiting, making it difficult for us to hear each other. The food was okay to good, and the service was adequate, but overall, the experience did not feel particularly special for a birthday dinner. Between feeling rushed, repeatedly receiving food we did not order, being seated in a very noisy location, and having my birthday completely overlooked, I expected more from the experience. read more

If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I would! The moment you walk in, you are greeted with a warm welcome! The ambiance is warm and cozy but upscale. There are such amazing details in the decor. The food was absolutely incredible! The menu has something for everyone's taste buds. I truly cannot believe these dishes. They are fresh, flavorful and unique! I cant believe these dishes are plant based. The textures and flavors faked me out many times. I cannot wait to go back! read more

Oleum got the right idea and executes it well. Came to take a vegetarian friend out and she loved everything she ate. The menu is not tired and you can tell the team put a lot of thought into these dishes. We started with the spicy potatoes and ravioli. Then we both had pizzas, I had the pepperoni which came overloaded with super fresh ingredients and that beautiful crust. The ambiance and service was great. Definitely coming back soon! read more

Pretty impressive that all the food is vegan! The pasta dishes are great, as is the kale caesar salad. Enjoyed the miso mushroom bucatini. The chicken mimic was not my favorite, but the beef mimic in their lasagne was quite close. Excellent, friendly service. Indoor and some outdoor seating available. Would recommend getting a reservation ahead of time. read more

Oleum has a bad business policy of rushing customers out after 90 minutes. I'm a hungry vegan but I would not pay to eat there again. My family waited an hour for our entrees and were told that we had to leave before we were finished eating. I don't eat my food that fast plus I would have liked to order coffee and dessert too. I won't patronize Oleum again. read more

Kale Caesar Salad w "steak": It was fine, but not quite restaurant-quality IMO, mainly due to huge kale leaves that needed more chopping. Other ingredients fell to bottom & huge leaves difficult to eat. read more

Oleum - Kale Caesar Salad - Vegan Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Oleum can best be described as vegan, chef inspired, fine dining. I was absolutely floored by how good everything was. To start with, the menu is very creative. You aren't going to find black bean burgers and cauliflower wings here (not that there is anything wrong with those). Instead, you will find small plates like Cannellini and Pan (bread with white beans) and Batata Harra (spicy Lebanese potatoes). Soups like Roasted Pumpkin. Mains like Steak, roasted veggies and Polenta in gravy. Pizzas like Meat Lovers with vegan bacon, pepperoni, sausage and spicy Italian sausage. There is plenty more dishes I just named the ones we ended up ordering. My wife started with a mocktail that included coconut and was meant to taste like a Creamsicle popsicle. Incredibly, it did. I was intrigued by a number of lattes but considering it was night and I had already reached my coffee quota for the day, I abstained. After that, we ordered and received our small plates and soup. The Cannellini and Pan was incredible. I don't know how to describe the bread. It looked like pita but it didn't taste or feel like any pita I've had before. The beans were flavorful, with a hint of spice. Speaking of spice, the Batata Harra was very spicy. Good, but definitely not for someone who can't handle spice. The soup was good but didn't really blow me away like everything else. Next came our mains, Steak and Polenta and the Meat Lovers Pizza. A lot of the pizza meats and cheeses are made in house at Oleum giving this pizza a unique taste all to itself. The crust was great, the meats were good with a hint of spiciness and the cheese was not too much and flowed with the rest of the pizza. The steak was a locally made vegan steak that cut and looked like real steak (I didn't quite have the same texture as I remember actual steak). Paired with polenta, mushrooms and Brussels and topped with gravy, this dish was incredible. To end it all, I took a carrot cake to go. Also excellent. The wait staff was incredible. Two different servers and the owner stopped at our table to check on us. Oleum is not cheap. This meal, with tip, was close to $150 dollars. But the quality and taste (and amount of leftovers) made the price more palatable. Will definitely be back! read more

The customer service here was a 5/5. The staff was extremely friendly. Parking was a little tight but there was street parking available. The cinnamon rolls and biscoff pancakes and were really good. The biscuit dish and fried ravioli dish tasted really oily. The oil was the other flavors and the dish les didn't balance out well. We also tried the wake and steak pizza and the meat substitute in this and in the biscuit was very mushy and tasted processed. I was disappointed in the food and I'm not sure I'd give it another try. I will say that the dishes without the meat substitutes were very good. read more

Can't believe everything here was 100% plant based. Perfectly replicated the flavors as if it wasn't and I was not lacking for anything. The gnocchi starter was a great shareable. Great flavor, had some charred flavor to it. Definitely recommended for someone that's not very hungry or saving room for the dessert. The fettuccine Alfredo topped with grilled impossible steak is not too be missed. Half order was enough for me and wow. This is the dish that pushed it up to 5 stars. There it's an extra charge of 6$ for the steak on top but imo worth it. The tiramisu is definitely a shareable size and vegan. I've put in the effort to make vegan tiramisu. I would grab this to go. Service was excellent. Ana chatted with my daughter and was very fast. My daughter liked the feel of the place and even complimented the bathroom. It was "fancy". Add this to the list of must go to vegetarian spots in Baltimore near fells point. read more

Really tasty vegan food! I got the "crab" cakes and I love how meaty the texture was, and the seasoning was just like a real crab cake. Also highly recommend the risotto and the "steak." I know I used to be very weary about trying vegan food. And is it exactly like meat? Obviously not. But is it a really good substitute? Absolutely. And the service was really great too. Good vibes, beautiful atmosphere, and great food. Give it a try! read more

I'm so glad I finally got to try Oleum. This is really a 3.5 but rounding up as there is a lack of vegan restaurants in the city! And I love a vegetable forward menu. had wanted to try this place when it was in the inner harbor, but it's finally found a home in the former bond house location in fells point. The branding really bothers me - when they were first putting up the signs, I thought it was a plant store and then realized it was the vegan restaurant. I'm also kind of confused at the restaurant story because it says it started in Japan, but the menu is very American if not very American Italian. We sat at the bar and the staff were really nice because I did not want to drink and they were still very attentive. Not a lot has changed in interior from the previous restaurant. I will say it looks a little more elevated as bond house was more casual. That said this is Baltimore some people dress up, but this is definitely a casual spot. There are only two bathrooms that are single stall, so I remember having to wait a little bit when it was quite busy when we walked in. My favorite bite was the soup! They messed up our order but it was a nice surprise. We ordered the rocket soup, but we ended up getting the bean soup but either way it was really delicious and it was nice that they were able to split the soup so we could share it. The pasta was just meh and the dolmas were average. The kale Caesar was really dry. I would for sure come back for that soup the way that it created such depth with having a veggie base and the Aleppo pepper just makes me salivate as I'm thinking about this menu. read more

Here for a birthday dinner. Disclaimer I am not vegan. This was some of the best gnocchi I've had in Baltimore would a hundred percent be back just for it. Our server Annika was fantastic and made so many good recommendations. I really enjoyed the Leo pizza. But I will say I enjoy "impossible/fake" meat; my friend who doesn't like meat substitutions was not a big fan. I tried my friends kale salad which we loved the dressing; however, weren't the biggest fans of the cheese. The cookie was to die for so much chocolate!! The inside is super cute I think it could be a dress up date moment or a casual meal with friends. The atmosphere was warm and candlelit. read more

Birthday celebration in full effect! We had a quiet dinner with excellent service from Allison. We were seated in the back (away from the bar) where we had a lot of peace and quiet. It's super clean and calming inside. We were seated right away as well. We did arrive for our reservation not too long after they opened so timing could be everything. We ordered several small plates which weren't that small lol. All of the food was amazing. The shishito peppers were perfectly blistered, the Cannellini and pan had a nice kick (bread was a little hard and left much to be desired), I could take or leave the gnocchi which is a new one for me... love some gnocchi. Our meals came out pretty fast which didn't give us much time to enjoy the small plates. So there was a lot happening at our table. Dessert was delicious... I'm not a fan of heavily coconut based ice cream but it compliments the big cookie flavors well. Overall, we will definitely be back. read more

Non-vegan here! I feel like my expectations for the food were set by only vegans, which gave me a skewed perspective going in, so to my non-vegans out there, here's how I'd approach Oleum: It's incredibly impressive what they come up with in terms of recreating non-vegan dishes using plant-based-only ingredients. Creative, complex, and unexpected--and incredibly thoughtful. I definitely see why this is considered vegan fine dining: I'd think you'd have to be nothing short of a master chef to craft some of these dishes using only plant-based ingredients. It was fun to try a few of their 'how on earth did they make this vegan' menu items, but I also wish we'd ordered some dishes that are naturally closer to vegan, as I think that's where I'd be really blown away (beyond the novelty value, as a non-vegan diner). Highly recommend ordering a bunch of dishes and sharing them across the table so you get to sample lots of different foods and preparations. We ordered: SMALL PLATES Ravioli bravas Maryland style crab cakes Shrimp scampi ENTREES Blackened alfredo Mushroom miso bucatini Meat lovers pizza I went in with unrealistic expectations because I'd been told 'it tastes just as good as the non-vegan version--SERIOUSLY!' and because of the caliber of the restaurant, I didn't think to manage those expectations. So I hit a bit of an uncanny valley with pretty much all of the dishes: it tastes a lot LIKE a crab cake, but something's off about it...this is the FLAVOR profile of shrimp scampi, but the texture isn't right...etc. (except for the pastas, which I'll say none of us were very impressed by). I think that's a lot of their branding, though, because even their menu design is setting you up with that (wrong, imo) expectation: I actually had to confirm with the bartender that this was a vegan restaurant, because they list bacon, sausage, parmesan, provolone, and beef in their dishes! It's very confusing, haha. I think if I didn't have those expectations going in, and went in more with the curiosity of 'wow, how do they make a mushroom-based crab cake? or tofu that tastes like shrimp?!' that would have been a much better dining experience for me. After coming to the above realizations, I'm looking forward to returning and trying the dishes with a different lens. And I want to order some that are naturally plant-based, as I imagine those are really going to shine--no uncanny valley to be seen! read more

Fully vegan/vegetarian restaurant with a fusion of american, Italian, mexican, and other flavors. The inside is industrial modern with a large wooden bar. It is always busy whenever I go. The service is a little slow but you can tell everything is made from scratch or with care. They have an extensive drink menu with non-alcoholic options. The orange cremsicle and the night cap are nice non-alcoholic drinks. I particularly like their vegan sausage which reminds me of Italian sausaged chopped up. They have brunch as well. read more

Oleum - Aperol Spritz - Vegan Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I'm happy I got a chance to try the food at Oleum. These pics are from two visits. Upon my first visit, I ordered the kale ceasar salad and a butternut squash soup. 2nd visit was the breakfast burrito. Both times, the service was impeccable at the bar, and while being formally seated. As I'm not a vegan, I do frequent vegan places in hopes of finally transitioning, so I understand flavor profiles and what to expect/not expect. The salad dressing was a bit skimpy and the croutons were extremely hard. I asked for some honey to add to the sauciness of the dressing, which in hindsight, I should have just asked for more dressing. I've had vegan ceasar salad dressing before that somehow mimicked that anchovie-taste, which is what I expected here. For the soup, I had my mouth ready for a sweet savory taste, but instead it was salty savory which altogether changed my viewpoint on how this soup can be made. I asked for chili oil to give it a little pop. Onto the breakfast burrito - a sight to see! I'm not a breakfast burrito girl, but a friend let me taste her leftovers and I thought I HAD to have my own. At first bite, I can say it was a whole YES. My only ask was more seasoning, and to have cooked the tofu down just a bit more so it didn't give the consistency of a runny egg. I asked for sriracha, chili oil and ketchup to seal the deal. I highly suggest offering at least one of these sauces/oil as a free accoutrement, instead of charging per oz. Ambiance is always warm and inviting. The dark wood gives a homelike vibe and the music is on point. I will definitely be back for the breakfast burrito in hopes of more fun sauces on the side! read more

I enjoyed Oleum. A fully plant-based restaurant with actual healthy options is hard to come by. I'm not strictly vegan, and it was still tasty. They have an intimate dining area, some side-walk seating, and a bar area. We didn't have a reservation, so we had to opt for bar seating. Service is as good at the bar area. I enjoyed the strawberries and cream pancakes a lot. I also got a gravy based pizza that had a good flavor but I wasnt a fan of it as a pizza. I would come back to try more menu options, as they do great work flavoring plant-based foods while keeping them light and fresh. Thing to note: The bar seats were not as comfy as I would have liked. They didn't have a bar to support your feet so my feet just hang the entire time. read more

I recently brought friends to OLEUM for a double date night and it was their first time there, but my partner and I were very excited to explore other parts of the menus and share delicious food with them! This time I ordered the buffalo chicken pizza and my partner ordered the risotto. Both were very delicious, and had a complex creative pallet of tastes. We had a fun time enjoying the wine special, which was a wine roulette and my partner had a dry semi sweet red wine that paired well with his meal. The staff were friendly, kind, and welcoming. The service was smooth, though a little slow, but granted we were coming at peak dinner time. We had a cozy and memorable dinner night, I look forward to coming again to try other parts of the menu! read more

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, and that warmth carried through the entire experience. I ordered the Trofie Pesto Pasta with plant-based spicy sausage and it was incredible. I love when restaurants put real creativity into spirit free options and Oleum nails it. Their spirit free menu drinks are lovely. I tried two, Dreamsicle and Social Hour.

I took my vegan friend because I am a good friend. She was so excited that everything on the menu was plant based. She ordered a bunch of stuff to try and honestly for the first time in a long time, I didn't feel like something was missing. She loved it. Our server was amazing and so was the food.

I wanted to dine in, but it was a 30 to 45 minute wait to seat one person since the hostess stated there were no bar seats available. So I ordered the following to go: the biscoff pancakes with a side of bacon and a cup of ice water. The pancakes were delicious and large (you get 3), but the bottom 2 are not glazed so you need syrup or the whipped topping to eat the pancakes. The whipped topping was delicious. The bacon was good, but very salty more than I remember real bacon to be... but the texture was perfect, be aware it can't be healthy lol salty but tolerable if you take a break to eat other items in between taking small bacon bites. The hostess was nice. I wasn't too sure about the straw that was given to me lol I'm sure it is something plant based special about it, but I couldn't get past the texture and color of the straw. So I didn't use the straw. Idky I'm typing this, but I'm laughing while doing so. It did come wrapped in paper, but take a look at the pic to see the color and texture. Street parking is tight. I was lucky to find a parking spot in the next block. The inside looks small, but keep in mind I didn't go beyond the hostess station which gave me a glimpse of the table seating set up. It looks very tight inside even from the large window area view on the other side of the building. read more

Truly one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time - from the vibes to the food to the service, everything at Oleum was top-notch! From the moment my friend and I walked in, we were treated so kindly by all of the staff who went out of their way to compliment our outfits, answer questions, and get us what we needed. The menu is incredible and what makes me the happiest of all is that they offer half and half pizzas unlike most places - this allowed us to try as much as we possibly could. The Fried Eggplant was one of my favorite items of the evening - it seems simple but it's a must order. We had 2 pizzas and were able to try 4 flavors: Buffalo Chicken, Toum Raider, when in Rome, and the Leo. I think the Leo may have been my favorite - potatoes on pizza? YES! None of them missed though. My least favorite item of the evening was surprisingly the Miso Mushroom Bucatini - it wasn't bad but everything else was so outstanding! Don't skip dessert: the Midnight Silk (chocolate) Tart and Sticky Toffee Cake were absolutely divine. I'd come all the way down from NYC just to eat here again (and I just might!) read more

i am an enjoyer of vegan food but i do eat meat. my parents were visiting and we were searching for a brunch spot that wasn't hectic and ran into oleum. i had been meaning to try their brunch for a while as i'm a sucker for specialty pancakes. we didn't have a reservation, but were seated immediately (they had just opened for the day). my parents both got golden lattes with oat milk and they both really enjoyed it. they don't use heat lamps here, so the food will come out when it's ready. we got shishito peppers to share. the blister was nice, although i felt they were a little under salted. i got the biscoff pancakes which came with biscoff whipped cream. they tasted like they were cooked in butter (although obv not) and were exceptionally tasty! i had plenty of leftovers too. i tried my parents' big biscuit with gravy, eggs, sausage etc. which was super flavorful. my dad was against coming here because he doesn't usually like vegan food, but he loved his food here. the inside is very cute, although the music is a little loud and almost club-like which is not conducive to the curated vibe of the place. the only real criticism i have here is that the menu labels everything as "plant-based". if you don't know this is a vegan restaurant in advance and you see the words "plant-based" on the menu, it's hard to determine if it's a vegan or vegetarian menu. also they didn't give my mom the gluten free wrap that she requested, but she isn't celiac so it isn't a huge deal. i will definitely come again for more specialty pancakes! read more

All were delicious and were the perfect lunch for a snowy cold day! you cannot go wrong with any of the choices here! :) i will 100p be back! Mushroom Rissotto was very flavorful!

I consider myself an avid meat eater, so i wasn't exactly excited when my friend suggested going to a vegan spot. But I went with an open mind and my mind was blown away! The food was so good! We shared the ravioli, lasagna, and fettuccini. Everything was phenomenal. The sauce was the hero on the ravioli for me. Full of flavor and the perfect starter. The lasagna? I think they snuck some real meat in there it was so good! There was a bit of a wait as we walked in without a reservation, but the hostess was nice enough to recommend a few walkable spots we could go to find a bar since their bar was full. read more
