Best Vegan Restaurants in Olympia Heights

"This plant-based paradise for celebrities, influencers, and Miami's sexiest so-and-so's is an alluring, tropical-inspired restaurant that serves vegan food that even carnivores will scarf down with glee. The menu is extensive and on the culinary cutting edge, offering impressively creative dishes such as ahi watermelon nigiri, melt-in-your-mouth cauliflower tots, an omnivore-inspired meat lover's pizza, and a savory burger. Pair you dinner with a cocktail made with fresh juice and don't forget to order soft-serve ice cream for dessert, available in rotating flavors."

"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."

"From a mouth-watering Planta burger ($19.95) to steamed dumplings ($11.75), the South Beach vegan hot spot is satisfying those quarantine cravings. Open for delivery or pickup from Tuesday through Saturday from 3 to 9 p.m. and available on Postmates, Uber Eats and Door Dash."

"This Wynwood spot serves up the flavor using clean and locally sourced ingredients with a Latin-inspired twist. Their Curry Lentil Soup feels like a warm blanket in a bowl. Fans love their “Best Veggie Burger in America” which earned its name when it won the judges over at Seed Food and Wine Festival."

"Love Life Cafe has something for everyone — even meat eaters. From veggie burgers, to arepas, to pizza and even burritos, all dishes are made without the meat but still featuring plenty of flavor. View this post on Instagram"

"Jamaican sun soup, kelp noodle pasta al pesto and superfood arepas are just some of the hearty plant-based dishes waiting for you at health food haven Manna. The clean, minimalist space is a plant-based staple for downtown Miami’s 9-5 crowd. Grab a table amidst the office suits and peruse the list of veggie-packed bowls, noritos (burritos wrapped in nori) and arepas that pair perfectly with a slice of strawberry tiramisu and one of Manna’s creamy nut mylks."

"If you’re focused on getting healthy, then Manna Life Food can help you start your journey, whether you’re vegan or not. They’ve truly thought of everything, and they’ve put it all together with care. From the superfood arepas and the grain bowls to the nutrient-packed acai bowls, there’s nothing here that’s not going to wow you and your stomach."

"Vegetarian , Vegan"

"Phenomenal vegan food in a palm-filled courtyard Even if you’re one who finds the idea of plant-based meat to be sacrilege, well, what’s more romantic than testing your boundaries together?. Plant makes organic, vegan cuisine that even a carnivore will love, so grab a seat out in the palm-filled courtyard and broaden your horizons with ginger-carrot noodles, celery-root lasagna with walnut Bolognese, and almond falafel. The purple lighting and light food make dinner here feel like the start of a big night."

"Plant Miami has a modern plant-based approach with an emphasis on vibrant organic living foods. With vegan, kosher dishes naturally inspired by the South Florida landscape, they use the purest ingredients and highest sustainability practices in the industry. Plus, most of their farm-to-chef ingredients are locally sourced from their very own Paradise Farm."

"If they're eating at Atlas Meat Free Deli, they're chowing down on an impossibly meaty menu. This Little River food truck and soon-to-be brick-and-mortar deli is "vegan food for carnivores," in the words of owner Ryan Bauhaus. The menu is stacked with towering sandwiches and sizable specials."

"Charly uses market fresh plant based ingredients to replicate the textures and flavors of meat so you can enjoy all the classic Mexican dishes that have made the cuisine so popular, without the guilt of harming animals or the environment. Armed with his extensive experience in the culinary world, Charly decided to create a new concept in Mexican cuisine after learning about the damage that eating meat can cause to personal health, and the environment. Charly blends knowledge from his previous time as an executive Chef of a major restaurant in Mexico City with vegan techniques, and his grandmother´s secret recipes, creating his very own unique style bursting with textures, aromas, and flavors that make Charly´s Vegan Tacos so special."

"Especially when there are places like Charly’s Vegan Taco Shack to help satisfy those Mexican food munchies. Charly’s — who calls Tulum, Mexico home — is the brainchild of Mexico City chef Charly Garcia, a passionate proponent of the eco-benefits plant-based cuisine offers. The Wynwood location stays true to its Tulum roots with artisan-crafted Mexican decor and hand-painted tableware."

"As a vegan, it’s usually hard to find niche restaurants that cater to your super-specific cravings. Charly’s Vegan Tacos helps solve that problem, serving up meat-free Mexican delights, vegan tacos, and so much more to hungry visitors. One bite of the tacos here and you’ll definitely agree that it’s some of the best vegan food in Miami."

"Begin your day at the Little Haiti Cultural Center. This cultural hub, part gallery, part community space, offers first-rate shows of contemporary art by Caribbean artists from around the world. It has exhibited the works of noted Haitian artist Edouard Duval-Carrié and photos from Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Carl Juste."

"A riverfront drinking joint with a dock full of food trucks, The Wharf features samplings from Miami hot spots like Garcia’s Seafood Grille & Fish Market, Mojo Donuts & Fried Chicken, and Lung Yai Thai Tapas. Paired with lazy furniture and a water view, a jaunt at The Wharf is a happy hour dream. View this post on Instagram"

"This place is located on the historic and pristine Miami River. This place is popular for its open-air events. There are wines, beers and cocktails to quench your thirst and 4-5 food trucks to satiate your hunger."

"The place has plenty of food trucks and a great view of the Miami River. Come in your best summer outfit and take some shots."

"DowntownFew things are more fascinating to a South Floridian than seeing how this city went from a swamp to major world metropolis in just over 100 years. You’ll learn all about Henry Flagler, Julia Tuttle, and the rest of the characters that made Miami what it is, as well as rotating exhibits exploring everything from the legacy of Hurricane Andrew to photos of the lost era of elderly Jews in South Beach. The museum also offers frequent walking tours with preeminent Miami historian Paul George, where even Dade County lifers will learn something new about the place we call home.Know before you go: Open Monday through Saturday 10 am - 5 pm; Sunday 12-5pm."

"Don’t let the museum’s rather plain Mediterranean-style building and courtyard fool you: Inside, HistoryMiami paints a colorful portrait of how the city transformed itself from a mosquito-filled swampland to one of the country’s most vibrant urban areas. Located in Miami’s downtown, the museum is not one you’ll likely stumble upon while wandering the city—which is a good thing if you prefer quieter spaces ($10/adult).

"Learn about Miami's history at this museum that's fun for all ages. On the second Saturday of the month they offer free admission and special family programming. 101 West Flagler StreetMiami, FLOnline: historymiami.org"

"Continue south on Collins Avenue and enjoy the views of Miami Beach, eventually reaching iconic South Beach. Park and head to the sand to enjoy a few hours on the beach. If that doesn’t sound like the right fit, enjoy a walk along iconic Lincoln Road for shopping, eating, drinking and people watching."

"Crandon Park Beach boasts some of the clearest waters Miami has to offer, thanks in part to a strict ban on floatation devices and its offshore sandbar — itself an idyllic place to bask like the Floridian lizard you are at heart. Not to worry though, there’s plenty else to keep the whole family entertained, including unique eco-adventure experiences, picnic and cookout areas, and concession stands. If the sun becomes too much, head to the Family Amusement Center open on weekends and holidays only to check out its restored carousel, beachfront playground, and splash fountain."

"An abandoned zoo on a subtropical island, ever since Dade County's main zoological park decamped to way down south, the Crandon Park Gardens, or just Crandon Gardens (both derivations are used) has sat and grown into a hidden, mysterious botanical garden with otherworldly follies (the former animal enclosures) scattered here and there."

"Parents love Candon Park for its gorgeous 2-mile beach, lifeguards, and picnic areas. But kids keep coming back for the vintage carousel, paved roller rink, and a seahorse fountain. Throw in the pretty arboretum and gardens and you've got one of the best spots in Miami for kids of all ages."
