Plant-based eating goes mainstream in the Magic City.
NOT TOO long ago, the words “vegan” and “gourmet” weren’t found in the same sentence. The cuisine was typically reserved for health-focused eateries and obscure cafés — not buzzed-about restaurants. But the tides are turning, and plant-based eating has officially gone mainstream with a slew of notable spots that is turning even the most tried-and-true carnivore into fans.
Adding to plant-based eating’s newly found “it-factor” is mega-club mogul David Grutman — the man behind perpetual hot spots LIV, Story, Komodo and OTL — who recently brought Toronto- based vegan concept, Planta, to South Beach. The instantly popular restaurant serves plant-based fare in a chic setting. The menu includes vegan spins on classic dishes like cauliflower tots, sweet potato queso, charred octopus created with king oyster mushrooms, and even sushi and nigiri made entirely of plant-based ingredients.
