"Vegan and plant-based diets have slowly been gaining popularity around the country, and Miami is no different. While some older establishments in the scene have come and gone, we're happy that Planta (a fully plant-based restaurant on South Beach) is still making a splash since its opening. The original Planta opened in Toronto several years back, and when hospitality-and-entertainment mogul David Grutman happened upon the vegan Canadian favorite, he decided to bring it back to the 305."

"Vegan and vegetarian food finally got the street cred it deserves with the arrival of Planta South Beach. The Toronto eatery, brought to Miami by hospitality king David Grutman, serves up cuisine that makes even the most staunch carnivores happy. The menu boasts a variety of plant-based comfort food favorites like sushi made with dehydrated watermelon that tastes like the real thing, cauliflower tots, and coconut-based ceviche, all served up in a lush and very tropical Miami setting."
