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.

    We went for dinner after having gone for breakfast the same morning. (We wanted to go back because it was so good.) When we got there everyone recognized us and it was the most welcoming experience at a restaurant I've ever had. At the end of our meal the Head Chef even came by to chat and thank us for coming twice. Great restaurant with lovely people.

    Another absolutely amazing meal at Oleum! This time we tried the hummus, fried ravioli, and mushroom and leek risotto. All delicious, but the risotto is next level. Will definitely be back soon!

    Me and my wife really enjoyed eating at this new restaurant. We had the pleasure of meeting the chef and owner and were able to discuss and talk about her food. We were looking for a new plant based restaurant that had clean vegan options meaning no seed oils, and for the most part this restaurant came through. If you’re looking for great food, pleasant staff along with sound food recommendations this is the place. We will definitely be coming back here, especially since they’re gonna be moving to Fells point in the near future.

    Excellent food and excellent staff! Every dish was great. The risotto was one of the best I’ve ever had. Everyone in my party raved about their meals. The staff was fun and laughed right along with our jokes. As we were leaving each of the other people in my party stopped me to thank me for finding Oleum!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. The ravioli was especially amazing. The food was excellent, the service was great and very friendly, and we had a very lovely chat with the owner. We will certainly go back and look forward to the restaurant moving to a new, stand alone location.

    I came here for my brother's birthday dinner with immediate family and was impressed with both the service and value. The desserts are especially good and the table was in a private location which was quiet and good for conversation. My brother is vegetarian and picked this restaurant and we all loved it despite being meat lovers.
