Very impressive! Planta takes plant-based dining to a new level. Toronto has been waiting for this. Much bigger inside than it appears from the street. Trendy decor, live DJ, very friendly and attentive staff.
Started with the SHIITAKE MUSHROOM app: delicate & delicious!! Could have eaten 2 orders myself. Really impressed with the kimchi which tasted like real Korean kimchi!! Also shared the QUESO DIP, served with super crunchy seasoned tortillas. The dip was garnished with fresh dill, a surprisingly tasty departure from traditional cilantro.
My friend had the CARROT DOG: a generous portion served with gloriously chunky crispy golden seasoned fries. Would go back just for the fries alone! I had the HABIBI SALAD: satisfyingly crisp split pea fritters and lentils served over a big bowl of lettuce and micro greens. A beautiful salad with an equally beautiful name (habibi = 'my love' in Arabic).
Was so full, couldn't even think about dessert, but will definitely be back to sample some of their other dishes and delicious sounding cocktails.
