Planta

Planta is a plant-based restaurant chain that has been redefining vegan dining since its inception in 2016. Founded by CEO Steven Salm, Planta offers a diverse and innovative menu that appeals to both vegans and non-vegans alike.

With a commitment to sustainability and culinary excellence, Planta has expanded its presence across North America, operating multiple locations in the United States and Canada.

The restaurant chain operates under three distinct concepts: Planta, Planta Queen, and Planta Cocina. Each concept provides a unique dining experience, showcasing the versatility of plant-based cuisine.

Menu Highlights

Planta's flagship concept features a globally inspired menu including dishes like the Rainbow Roll, Edamame Dumplings, and Szechuan Dan Dan noodles. The restaurant also offers indulgent desserts and beverages, such as the Olive Oil Coconut Cake and the Tropic Like It's Hot cocktail.

Planta Queen focuses on Asian-inspired plant-based dishes, including sushi rolls, dumplings, and wok noodles. The menu provides a flavorful and authentic experience for traditional Asian flavors in a plant-based format.

Planta Cocina specializes in Pan-Latin cuisine, offering dishes like Spicy Tuna Tacos, Croquetas, and Coconut Ceviche. This concept aims to bring the vibrant flavors of Latin America to the plant-based dining scene.
