| - Yet another restaurant brought to us by the always successful CHG hospitality group...
Cashing in on the vegan movement with trendy aesthetic and modern atmosphere, Planta appeals to the rich, upper-class Torontonian who likes to flaunt the fact that "they're at a vegan restaurant, they care about their health, and they just got back from a yoga class!!!" This is a restaurant designed specifically for profit and no passion.
The staff was super friendly and nice, which is why this place gets 2 stars, BUT they literally had no idea what was going on with the menu. Me and my party ordered the nut cheese plate to start, it was EXTREMELY minimal for $20.25, and when I asked about what the different types of cheeses and crackers were the staff had no idea and had to shuffle through a bunch of notes to tell me. Took about 5 minutes to figure out what I was actually eating. The actual cheese plate flavour was good nothing to complain about, the truffle cheese was on point. My biggest problem was that they had just put it on the menu a week ago and a couple months prior I basically had THE EXACT same cheese plate at Live Organic Food Bar, but got way more cheese and more flavour. Literally, all the 3 kinds of cheese were the same as the ones at Live Organic Foor Bar. When we tried to get more crackers (cause the plate came with literally 6 crackers) 2 seperate waiters brought us some that were totally different and not as good. So much confusion.
Onto the drinks, my friend got some watermelon alcoholic drink that literally tasted like nothing. None of us could taste the alcohol in it and the watermelon flavour was so subtle. Basically it tasted like watermelon flavoured water...BUT it was really pretty!!! I had a shot of ginger, lemon and orange juice and I could only taste the orange juice.
For our meals we shared the eggplant lasagna, habibi salad, lettuce wraps and tacos. Everything was pretty mediocre, eggplant lasagna was good but very mushy, lettuce wraps were okay but soooo much bbq sauce the flavour was extremely overpowering, habibi salad was decent I guess - the greens were nice but the falafels were super dry, and lastly the tacos were just straight up bad. Everything was really way to small for the price too. Altogether the food had no integrity, also nothing was organic.
Side note - if you want a nice instagram photo, this place is perfect.
