I recently had the pleasure of dining here, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience.
The menu was a culinary adventure, offering a variety of innovative and delicious plant-based dishes that were beautifully presented. Each dish was a work of art, with a perfect balance of flavors and textures that left me wanting more.
The highlight of the meal was the dessert, which was not only visually stunning but also incredibly delicious. I couldn't believe that vegan food could taste this good!
The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. The ambiance was cozy and romantic, making it a perfect spot for a date or a special occasion.
Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable dining experience. The food, service, and ambiance were all exceptional, and I can't wait to go back again soon!
I wanted to love this place. It’s easily a 5/5 on ambiance, making it feel like a place to celebrate something special. The details — from the cat in the yard (Maitaki) to the stunning dishwater — make it feel canonically Venice. However, the Thai curry left me wanting something more distinctive. It felt bland — it is seemed like a lost opportunity for the team to create something memorable. On the other hand, the cream pie was a brilliant minimalistic masterpiece.
Next time I return, I’ll probably go for drinks and dessert only. But I do recommend that every vegan in LA give this iconic restaurant a go.
Went to a birthday celebration with a group of non vegans and was pleasantly surprised by the selection. Between the 6 of us, we ordered 7 items plus 2 desserts and shared them. My favorite was the kimchi dumplings and celeriac. I definitely prefer the hot dishes more than the cold. The 6 of us all thought the food was great and would like to go back there again!

I've been a vegetarian for 35 years. (Okay I just almost fainted at the realization of how long it's been...) I love restaurants that have good options for vegetarians, and I TREASURE restaurants that offer exclusively vegetarian options, especially a fine dining experience that isn't a miso-mash of wraps, falafel and other items that seemed like a good idea because they didn't contain meat.
Plant Food + Wine is a really good, fine dining experience for any vegetarian or vegan where we mostly enjoyed what we got, and appreciated the artistry that went into it.
There outdoor seating area is lovely and preferred by most (as best we could tell) but we're not fans of discernible temperatures or wind so we sat inside which was also comfortable.
My wife and I shared 4 items. We had the Baked Raclette, Kimchi Dumplings, Artisanal Cheese Plate, and Trumpet Mushrooms (and there's a lot more to choose from, much of which is also gluten free.)
We especially loved the mushroom dish, it was the heartiest and freshest of the lot with a nice alfredo-like sauce creating a wonderful and satisfying eating experience.
The dumplings were good, but we got it in our head, as dumplings often are, that they'd be warm and it was a cold dish...so good on it's own terms but not what we'd hoped for. The fill-in was also "cream-cheesy" which overlapped a lot in texture with what was on the cheese plate...so we felt like we had too much "faux cheese" going on The dumplings flavor was good, but we would have liked more of a vegetables based texture of some kind.
These cheese plate...Full disclosure – I eat cheese. I like cheese. I have yet to meet a vegan cheese that really does the job. These looked gorgeous but were mostly similar in taste and texture – again more cream-cheesy (if you will) than hard or soft-cheesy which is what you really want on a cheese plate.
The Panda Cotta we had for desert was DELICIOUS. We demolished it and very much appreciated the taste and texture. Well done.
We definitely didn't leave hungry, and enjoyed much of what we ate. There's a lot more to try so we'll be back at some point.

This is by far my favorite restaurant!! I visited 3 years ago and fell in love. I knew I had to come back again. I even went to the one in NYC a couple of years back. The food is absolutely delicious. You completely forget it's vegan. Each meal is perfectly hand crafted and the way ingredients are paired together is astounding. It's an art!
We had Will as our server this evening and he was friendly, accommodating and gave great recommendations. We dined outside and loved the vibe, the string lights, the multitude of plants. The heat lamps are an awesome touch to take the edge off a chilly evening. We had a wonderful experience and will certainly be back!
First, we were greeted by a very sweet & beautiful hostess. She had fantastic style we well! Sara our server made this quite the most pleasant experience. Besides the quality of service she provided, she was knowledgeable about all the items on the menu & did a superb job at recommending all of the delicious food that we ordered.
Food was a little on the pricey side but I cant complain as I did not end up paying for it; surprise treat from my friend. Either way, worth the price even if I did.
We ordered a handful of items off the menu, some my buddy knew from previous experience & some came from Sara's recommendations.
All in all, can't wait to go back! Thank you for everything!
We had dinner on the first night of their new fall menu. Do yourself a favor and just order the raclette…the most delicious cheesy goodness. We also ordered the Squash and cauliflower entrees, cheese board, and pear salad. A very delicious fall meal and lovely garden ambiance.
(Fully vegan) We came here for brunch on the weekend and it was 11/10. The waffles and mushroom toast were our favourite. Everyone including our non vegan family loved their meal and we plan to come back soon. The outside courtyard is very beautiful
One of the top upscale, vegan restaurants in LA. The Cheese Plate’s showstopper is truffle cheese! The asparagus frittata with crème fraise is creative- brunch food for dinner, why not?
For desert, the popular Banana crème pie is beachy paradise.
🍷 Enjoyed the Love You Bunches (Santa Barbara) Rose & organic Planet Oregon Pinot Noir
The outdoor patio is romantic, comfortable & inviting. Inside are cozy fireplaces.
Excellent, 5-star service!
🎃 Fall update: Delicata Squash is delicious!

Nice local vegan place near Santa Monica and Venice Beach. Good hours. Great customer service. Interesting and good food. Excellent ambience, especially sitting outside for dinner. A bit pricey but overall good experience. Recommend it.
The asparagus dish was my absolute favourite, next was the kimchi dumpling. The truffle pasta and tylauda were good also.
Saw this place on Evolving vegan and had to try it. The raw lasagna was everything I dreamed of. The ricotta was literally the best ricotta I’ve ever had. I actually drooled while eating it.
I was invited to an event here, so I don't know the prices, but I know one thing: I'm not vegan, not even vegetarian, but the food is amazing. It's very unique, organic, healthy. You need to be open for example the lasagna is an interpretation, everything was tasty. Before the dinner we also had a wine and finger food reception and the finger food was very tasty and I liked it a lot (I don't know much about the drinks because I don't drink when I'm a designated driver). Next time I'll be around on a personal visit I'll surely bring my wife.
Not a vegan and it was sooo good. Very refined, balanced flavors. We loved the cold dishes over the hot ones. The atmosphere is very cute and relaxing. The patio is very quaint.
One of the best vegan meals I've had, ever. Really inventive menu, outstanding flavors, and great wine list. We had the braised shishito peppers, the "raclette", little gem Caesar salad, spicy udon and fennel sausage. Everything was original, flavorful, and beautiful. I left feeling very full! The service was a bit slow (our waiter forgot about us a couple of times) but knowledgeable and pleasant. Beautiful back patio as well. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!
