Welcome to Oleum Vegan Kitchen, where Chef Adibe brings a fresh, creative approach to vegan cuisine, inspired by her almost 30 years of experience in the service industry and a deep passion for plant-based cooking. Originally founded in Okinawa, Japan, Oleum is now a Baltimore gem, located just a short drive from the National Aquarium and very close to the Baltimore Visitor's Center.

Our cozy and inviting space offers a welcoming atmosphere for both vegans and non-vegans alike, blending Mediterranean, Spanish, and Middle Eastern flavors into unforgettable dishes. A standout on our menu is the Miso Mushroom Bucatini, a delightful fusion of Chef Adibe's time in Japan and her love of savory pastas, this dish has quickly become a fan favorite.

Whether you’re looking to enjoy an intimate dinner or a special celebration, our friendly staff and beautiful ambiance, complete with a charming outdoor seating area, will ensure a memorable dining experience.

    The ambiance wasn't the greatest because of the location, but this restaurant is a bright spot in a depleted rundown building. Excited to visit the new spot once they're settled in June. Figured we'd get that out the way before we let you know the food was extremely delicious! Them Shishito Peppers were incredible... I put some on my Nonna's Favorite Pizza - this pizza didn't need the peppers but definitely took it up to a new level! The carrot cake was excellent, so was the Cannellini Tapa + Pan wes delightful. Our table also order the Blackened Fettuccine Alfredo w/Steak & the Miso Mushroom Bucatini!!!! So good!!! My family thoroughly enjoyed the friendliness of the owner and the staff worked extremely well with one another. Note, my finacé was the only vegan at the table and all the meat eaters were highly impressed. This is a must visit whether or not you're a vegan!

    My first experience with vegan food and I was not disappointed. We enjoyed the cookie butter latte, the HeatWave, wedge salad, kale Caesar, bucatini pasta with blackened chicken, the pizza. We were seated on the outdoor patio which provided the beautiful Inner Harbor backdrop. Crowds were passing by as Wine Village was going on but it was not disruptive.

    Outstanding vegan food and creative spirit-free drink menu. Everything we had was delicious. My vegan colleague really appreciated the cheese ravioli, something she isn't often able to enjoy. I liked that there were small plates and pasta dishes, so I could try both the risotto (amazing) and a soup. Being able to add a selection of vegan proteins to the pasta was an added bonus. They will be moving to Fell's Point this summer.
