| - Planta is a vegan establishment conveniently located in the Yorkville area and has been on my bookmark list for a while now.
Having seen so many pictures of Planta's interior, I knew what to expect going in - rose gold cutlery, white tiled walls, and green accents courtesy of the plants around the restaurant. It's an instagrammer's dream for sure!
The drink menu here is quite extensive. I was tempted to order the Pistachio Rose Milk, but I settled for Aloe Views, which is Planta's take on the Moscow Mule. It was quite a strong drink with a stronger ginger flavour.
My friend and I had the Cauliflower Tots to share. From the Yelp reviews, it seems like this is a must-try dish - and I can definitely see why! The tots had a thin, crispy skin and a soft, creamy interior, similar to that of mashed potatoes. The taste was also superb, and it was hard to believe that this dish is vegan. My only complaint was that they can get a bit oily towards the end.
For my main, I ordered the Harvest salad. While the serving size was generous, I did not feel like this salad warranted the $15 price tag, especially when there was not much protein. I also felt that they added too much dressing, making the salad too acidic to ingest towards the end. Definitely ask to get your dressing on the side!
I would come back to try some of their other main dishes, but would probably steer away from the salad menu.
