Best Vegan Restaurants in Surfside

"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."

"Miami’s culinary scene is so diverse, so it’s no surprise there are plant-based options, including Planta in Miami Beach, where vegans can get the best breakfast in Miami on the weekends. Many of the ingredients used in each dish are grown on the rooftop garden, so they’re guaranteed fresh!. The chefs will take classic breakfast and brunch staples and adapt them with vegan ingredients in such creative and delicious ways."

"A lot of these expensive restaurants are mainly meat or seafood meals, but for an elegant plant-based meal, Planta South Beach is the spot. This entirely vegan restaurant offers unbelievable veggie dishes including sushi, cheesy pasta and croquetas. The restaurant itself is beautiful and garden like and basically everything about this place is a nature lovers paradise."

"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."

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."

Located at 458 Ocean Drive in South Pointe, it's the highest rated gelato spot in Miami Beach, boasting 4.5 stars out of 214 reviews on Yelp.
