Review Planted In Hamilton - Hamilton

Coming in with severe dietary restrictions, we hoped they would be a safe choice with options and they definitely delivered. Our server was incredible, and took the time to sit down with us to explain our options and to check when they were unsure. The food came quickly, was hot and delicious. We aren't vegan but we're open to new culinary experiences and if you're in the area they are ABSOLUTELY worth checking out. The only critique I can really offer is that the building is less accessible than it could be, but that's not a limitation that they as a business can impact; that's on their landlord. They do compensate with outdoor tables at road level and they deliver and do take out. Their ordering system is really neat, allowing us to order online from our table or at the counter. It was a fun experience and we would definitely come back next time we're in Hamilton.

When you're in the mood for delicious healthy food, you're not going to find a better spot in Hamilton. Always a crowd pleaser. Food is out of this world fresh and delicious. And staff is super friendly! Inside is beautiful and they have a great little patio in the parking lot.

Amazing food and service!! The pesto pasta was incredible and seriously, I haven't had a cruller donut in like 10 years. It was perfection!

Love the place! Artistic,cozy,aesthetic Love everything we tried, fresh and healthy and service is amazing Good place for vegan,vegetarian,gluten free

Great spot! As a vegan, I really enjoyed this spot and loved that you can just order from your phone without having to wait for a server or look at physical menus. I like physical menus too, but this was efficient! We ordered 30 minutes before closing, but they were very nice and said the kitchen is open up until closing and we can stay back until 930 (30 minutes after closing) if we need to. We didn't need to do that, but it was nice to have some independence in the restaurant and access to take out boxes nearby if we wanted to head out. They also had great food options! Not my favorite vegan cheese recipe, but I loved the thai bowl and the nachos were great! Went with my non vegan brother and his vegetarian girl friend who both also enjoyed the experience. :)

Had a Classic Planted Burger and Poutine. The patty was really crunchy and well cooked. It was an awesome experience. Vegan/Vegetarian must visit this place once.🍔

This is the best vegetarian place we know of in Hamilton. We had visited the previous location on John St. This one is much more appealing in its vibe and decor, open and spacious and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and the food is amazing. On this visit I had the falafel bowl and my wife the Thai bowl. Both were generous, attractively prepared, and wonderfully tasty, with loving attention to textures, flavours, sauces and spices. Everything was perfectly done. Price are reasonable too. Both of us managed with great effort to resist the desserts, though they looked scrumptious. The only slight negative: trying to find parking on too-trendy Locke Street.

Love the new location on Locke street! The food is great! The nachos were delicious! The Thai bowls were great and our friends enjoyed the falafel. We ate outside because we had a dog and service was good! Will return again!

Planted is a special place to visit. The physical space itself is bright and welcoming. It echoes the essence of a plant based lifestyle with its eclectic mix of locally made furniture, repurposed wood, stone floors and high industrial ceilings. Nothing about the decor is typical. The space is brought to life with plants and local artists showcasing their work on the walls. You'll find a warm team of staff here, from the back to the front of house. Their love for plant based shines through as they help you to choose what dish to try from the board behind the cash. Then the food. It truly is the best vegan GF in the city. The dishes are creative, fresh and wholesome. The breakfast bowl is my favourite weekend treat, the lentil sausage is unreal and the tofu scramble has shifted my seven year old to love tofu! I also love the Mediterranean bowl, the falafel, the chickpea wings and every single one of the in house made desserts. I have shared this spot with many friends, many from out of town where vegan GF isn't as available. There is so much comfort in knowing that if you have specific dietary needs, you can securely eat everything from the menu without concern for dairy, gluten or animal product. You guys are killing it, I love this entire team! There is so much heart in this space. Get there. Now.

I had the Thai rice bowl and my friend had the Mediterranean bowl. Both of us felt the bowls had too much rice and not enough vegetables. The peanut sauce on the Thai bowl was great and I enjoyed the flavour. The tofu was decent too. My friend thought her falafels were very good but that the bowl didn't have enough sauce and found it dry. The last time I was here it was still Eatwell and the food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. It seems to be quite a bit quieter now and I find the menu options leave a bit to be desired. The price is affordable however, and the portions are quite big. The restaurant itself is cute and the staff were very nice and helpful and the food came out quickly. Would definitely go back and try it again, but am hopeful for a few improvements.

Affordable and good sized portions. The food was fairly tasty if not a touch on the bland side. The texture and the taste of the rice in the Thai bowl was reminiscent of minute rice which was a bit off putting. The tofu was really nice and crispy on the outside, and the sauce was good. Falafel plate was okay, felt like it needed a little something extra to make it really good. I had the tacos which were really nice, the sweet potatoes and slaw were super lovely, but the sauce/liquid from the slaw made them really soggy, and the beans had next to no flavour (thank goodness for hot sauce). The cowboy cookie is fantastic, especially for a gluten free cookie. The atmosphere is a bit weird as the space is quite large but also feels empty. The staff were really nice but again the layout made it feel very distant and weird in there, even though several people checked in on us. Would totally come back to try the other menu items.

I went to Planted in Hamilton opening night. The menu offers a wide variety of mouth-watering food. I LOVED the BBQ Jackfruit! Their desserts are amazing. It is such a friendly atmosphere. Please keep doing what you're doing! I highly recommend going to Planted in Hamilton. Absolutely the best gluten free and vegan restaurant in Hamilton. I honestly can’t wait to go back!

We ate here yesterday and really enjoyed it! It was so nice to add a great vegan lunch spot to our lives! We liked everything we ordered and the service was friendly and quite fast. Decent prices too. Only some minor changes could be recommended. The spicy tomato soup was so spicy we couldn’t taste anything very well after having it. Amazingly rich flavour was obvious but a bit heavy with the spice level so it distracted from the experience. The bun on the meatball was a long biscuit and a thick one at that. It fell apart and was awkward to eat. Switching to a baguette type slice would get a great texture difference from the lentil balls and help with the eatability of the sandwich. The chickpea wings were a really neat take on falafel, and the sauce on the side was yum! The carrots were a nice texture crunch but quite large, probably could put out less and make them smaller sticks. Like I said, super minor stuff. Everything about the sweet potato tacos was bomb! Loved the cheeze sauce too. Our kids loved the cookies and the laid back atmosphere. Your staff was so very friendly, engaging and helpful. We will definitely be back to explore the desserts!

My favorite place for plant-based eats!!!!!! I was so excited to have a new vegan place to try and now I have to keep going back so I can try all the different dishes!! I just had the Mediterranean bowl and it was FRESH and just perfect!!! A great place to hangout and awesome for special events...I am so happy to have a new favourite go-to!!!! Thank you!!

Went last night for dinner and really enjoyed everything. Our group of three split the chickpea wings (kind of like oblong falafels, but with an amazing garlic aioli sauce I want to put on everything). For our mains we got the sweet potato tacos, the Mediterranean bowl, and the Thai rice bowl. We split the brownie sundae for dessert. Everything was super delicious and the portions were quite generous (considering their fairly low prices - $11/$13 for the mains). Staff were friendly and attentive, but it would have been nice if they had some sort of uniform/matching shirts - just a thought. Would definitely recommend! :)

My partner and I have come here twice now and its quickly becoming one of our favourite restaurants! The nachos are easily the best vegan nachos I've ever had and the chickpea 'wings' are an awesome and tasty take on a plant-based alternative! I would gladly recommend this place to anyone, we will definitely be back again :)

Everything I have tried so far is awesome. Probably the best nachos in town, pulled jackfruit sandwich was amazing (even the gluten-free bun was impressive) and the brownie sundae was so good. Called ahead the other day to get the Thai bowl to go and it was ready to be picked up in 15 minutes! Great service. Can’t wait to try the rest of what they have to offer!

I love that everything is gluten free, I can eat it all!! Great food and friendly staff!

Went there for the first time today and had the Mediterranean Bowl and it was delicious! So much food for what you pay for and amazing service. Highly recommend!

The food here is delicious! We have been there for brunch and dinner and both times left very impressed. The portions are large and the food is both extremely tasty and affordable. Highly recommended!

Really good food, friendly service. A lot of vegan places have small portions. I found the meals were generous, lots of toppings on the nachos! Yum!

This is a terrific vegan restaurant. I dropped in for brunch on a Sunday morning and had pancakes and scrambled tofu with a side of nicely cut fruit in a mug . Not only was the food excellent but the interior is cool and inviting – nicely designed. I hear the chefs are all the way from Oklahoma so thank you for your wonderful food and welcome to Hamilton. I’m new here too
