Best Vegan Restaurants in Miami River

"South Beach is a stylish place – and Planta is a stylish destination in its own right in the stylish South of Fifth area. This restaurant from nightlife impresario David Grutman serves an inventive menu of plant-based fare. The architecturally clean lines of the dining room are perfectly suited to a menu that lets vegetables shine in globally inspired dishes such as a rainbow sushi roll of “ahi” watermelon, slaw, avocado, gochujang and peanuts; pizza topped with mushroom “bacon” and cashew-based mozzarella; and lettuce wraps packed with crispy Korean cauliflower and tofu."

"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."

"PLANTA's vision goes beyond taking animals off the plate — it exists to bring guests an uncompromising restaurant experience that champions environmental sustainability.

"This bright café located in Wynwood serves fresh vegan cuisine with a positive message. From its variety of arepas and stone-fired pizzas to a Cuban burrito with plantains and cashew sour cream, the menu at Love Life Café is expansive. Stop in for breakfast and try the egg and cheese croissanwich with golden potato herb fries or the gluten-free pancakes with your choice of blueberry, strawberry or banana toppings."

"The term "veggie burger" might have once conjured an image of a dry, tasteless hockey puck, but that was then."

"Their life bowls, baked treats, hot soups, nori wraps, and nut mylks are insane. Aside from a few dishes containing raw honey, the entire menu is vegan and gluten-free. Every item is extremely colorful and aesthetically pleasing, so it's not just a great spot to expand your vegan food knowledge, but also a great place for fancy Instagram posts."

"Restaurants Vegetarian West Coconut Grove. Our only gripe with this Coconut Grove health food institution is its early closing time; the place caters to locals and the area’s nine-to-fivers. Still, it’s worth ditching work for a fresh green salad (lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, sprouts, cucumber) topped with house-made chicken salad."

"Vegetarian , Vegan"

"Appealing to both the health-conscious and the self-proclaimed foodie, Soul Tavern is the first plant-based gastropub in Miami.

"A post shared by Minty Z Plant-Based Restaurant (@mintyzllc). Minty Z is a chill Miami eatery serving up vegan dim sum and plant-based Asian fusion in the heart of Coconut Grove.

"Guava cheese pastries — the unofficial baked good of Miami — can be found in supermarket bakeries and specialty shops all around the city. Few can compete with the gigantic rendition at Little Havana’s Pastelmania. The crisp flaky crust, barely contains the tropically aromatic cream cheese filling."

"When you venture past Calle Ocho’s tourist traps, you’ll find the real backbone of Cuban Miami: its cafeterias and bakeries. (Karmen Bakery is so tiny that you might miss it if you don’t know what you’re looking for.) Order some of their affordable but oh-so delectable treats to go and enjoy them while gazing out over the water. Here, a traditional Cuban sandwich on fresh-baked bread with a drink goes for less than $10 total."
