Planta

It felt like a Friday in there even though it was only the middle of the week.  The entire place was decorated like a millennial’s dream — so many cylindrical rose-coloured light fixtures, plant decor, plant wallpaper, and even two swings for you to hang out in if you were in the waiting area (actually, for photos.  OF COURSE they’re for photos!)

This is quite a place to visit for vegans - excellent ambiance (quite noisy though), and good food, especially the desserts. This was also the first time we went for the bar seats and it was a good experience overall.

And definitely call them first before going because they are often busy and may not have a table right away. We booked a slot on the bar since they were a full house on tables.

Food & Drinks:

While they have a very extensive wine menu, the rest of the liquors just didn't seem to find many places (ran out of space!!). While I went for Ace HIll Draught, I wish they had a few more options, like the Corona or the Bud. My wife ordered Watermelon Whim (cold pressed watermelon with basil and lime) and it was good - especially the freshness of the basil was absolutely amazing and very refreshing. For the followup drink, we shared a For Love and Lemons (which is white wine, tarragon infused syrup, cold-pressed lemon, fever tree soda) which was really good as well. So, except for a narrow menu outside wines and cocktails, it is a great place for drinks.

For food, we started off with Stuffed Mushrooms and Tomato Tart. I wasn't so impressed with the look of Tomato Tart as the tart was completely hidden under the greens and tomatoes which suggested more like a Tomato Salad than a Tomato Tart. However, I loved the freshness of the overall dish (unintended I believe) and the perfect proportion of balsamic that gave a really good kick. The pine nut crust was good. The stuffed mushrooms were really good as well - bite size heavens. This was followed up with a The Bianca pizza - which was a little disappointing. While the toppings were good, the outer pure-flour crust was a little too much compared to the toppings area. I found the combination of the flavors (roasted rosemary potatoes, kale, olives, and capers) okay.

For the desserts, we went for the Avocado Lime Cheesecake and Sinful Chocolate Brownie. The cheesecake was quite good but the star was the Brownie which was absolutely amazing. The ice-cream on top was great - although a little more sugary - and the brownie beneath was a perfect combination. Loved it!

Ambiance:

It gets quite noisy as there is music and then people chatting even louder due to the music. This was the first time we tried the bar seat since they didn't have a table available at the time we arrived (we called up before leaving to reserve the table and they were full for about 1.5 hours and we didn't want to get late). The bar table is quite spacious and it was great to see bartenders making all different kinds of drinks in front of you. Chairs could be a bit more comfortable but still okay.

Staff:

The staff was quite good and friendly. Although their service can be a little fast - not sure if they were failing to catch up with the rush or they are traditionally slow. The food came quite late - especially the pizza took forever to come and it took a reminder after a good wait to make the bartender check on the pizza status.

Overall, it's one of those few places that are really hip vegan - love the confidence with which vegan community projects itself out there with bars and fine dining restaurant - bunking all the myths around cruelty-based food.

My favourite vegan restaurant in the city! Amazing decor and good food. I have been here twice now. I think my favourite items are always the yummy seasonal cocktails...the watermelon margarita this past summer wins my vote! The last time I was here I got the planta burger, very yummy but super messy. It’s also so big that I should have only eaten half especially because it comes with such yummy spicy fries. As for starters I recommend the queso! I had the cheese platter last time but honestly I’m not fond of vegan cheese, it was warm and everything tasted like smoke flavouring, the gherkins and the dried cranberries were the best part of it. This fall won my favourite desert yet...banoffee pie! It was a huge portion and I finished every last bite...I couldn’t stop. Without question I will be back.

Planning to go a Italian restaurant nearby and we ended up here. It was just before 12 and upon arrival, the hostess weren't visibly pleased we came without a reservation. After some pondering we were told that we'd have to finish by 1pm as they had reservations.

The server was completely the opposite - she was was so pleasant and warm. We had Spagettoni and a Burger. The Spagettoni had Zucchini pesto rather than Kale.

Both were very well made and were well refined dishes. If you are looking for Vegan Junk food, this is not the place Although the dishes were great, the burger needed some more seasonings. The mushroom bacon tasted like mushroom. The texture was perfect. The burger also needed some extra toppings. Even the mustard did not have the zing. The fries with the burger was amongst the best. Lightly dusted with some spice and perfectly fried. The Mayo also had bit more lemony taste. On the plus side it seemed it was homemade and not in a factory.


The Spagettoni cooked perfectly and the sauce just right. Perhaps needed a bit of garlic and or black pepper.

The decor, the service made up all slightl deficiencies.

Ever been to a place so good that 5 stars rating is not good enough? Well this is pretty much the fanciest vegan place I have ever been to. And I have been to alot.

I ordered their Italian job pizza and their truffle fries. Pizza is thin crust. Fresh and delicious. Fries are amazing. Decor is as good as it gets. DJ playing awesome lounge beats. Friendly service.

Overall I'm very impressed by the whole experience. Keep in mind place is very packed. I strongly recommend reserving a seat. I'm surely coming back for their burger.

First Time Experience at PLANTA (full plant based restaurant <3) for a celebration Dinner! The restaurant is modern, fresh and beautiful! Love its concept! The staff demonstrated great customer service during our reservation. We tried three various appetizers; cauliflower tots, Bang Bang Broccoli and Queso Fundido. All tasted great! We had Lemon Water & Planta Punch Cold Press Juice! So Fresh! Then we all tried different signature dishes; The Planta Burger with Almond Parmesan Truffle Fries, Spaghettini Alla Carbonara and Lasagna (Amazing)! All the dishes were Amazing! For Dessert, we had NY Cheesecake, Dark Chocolate Brownie with Melted Chocolate drizzle on top and (I don't remember the name) served in a Stemmed Glass - Blueberry, Cream Mouse Dessert. ALL the dessert were Decadent! The Ladies finished with a coffee! 5 Star plus for amazing food, promptness, servers, customer service, experience and atmosphere! Highly reccommended!

Went for lunch on Friday, we reached at 12.15 and the restaurant was packed by 1 PM. Excellent ambiance, full of light and greenery. Good seating arrangements and the service was good too. Food was fabulous, we were recommended the Bang Bang Broccoli, which I cannot emphasize how amazing it was, must have! The steamed dumplings were really good too. The cauliflower tots were okay, would try something in its place next time. I had the lasagna which was totally worth it, and I’d recommend it. My colleagues had the Hawaiian pizza, the lettuce wraps and Pad Thai Slaw and all were satisfied. Finally we had the cheesecakes and their cookie (which was enormous, could easily serve 3-4 ppl) and again, great desserts too! I would definitely revisit, thanks Planta!

This place is so good!! It’s hard to find a more upscale vegan dining experience but this checked all the boxes. The atmosphere is that of a very nice restaurant with hip decor. The servers are pleasant and helpful. We enjoyed all our food. My dad is not vegan and enjoyed everything too. The bang bang broccoli is 🔥the habibi bowl was delicious but the maple custard was my favorite. My dad enjoyed the spaghettini. The cauliflower tots were probably our least favorite - still very good, but not as exciting as everything else. Would love to go back!

I always wanted to try this place, as I have been trying to eat more vegan. I visited the place with very high expection and it has been exceeded. First of all, I loved the interior of the place. Staffs were very friendly and caring. I enjoyed everything my server recommended. What I liked the most was that the food was not salty. The biggest problem I had whenever I buy vegan products or order vegan food elsewhere is that they were too spicy or salty. I didnt have such problem at this place. I am looking forward to visiting this place again and trying different flavours.
