Take the "a" off of "Planta" and you will realize what this restaurant is all about (and it's not the hokey pokey). Marketed as plant-based cuisine rather than vegan, this fresh and airy restaurant specializes in delicious food from around the globe that any meat-eater would be proud to chomp. Planta burgers have mushroom bacon, pickles, and spiced fries. Carrot dogs with a carrot in the place of pork come loaded with sauerkraut, dill pickle and mustard. Once you get over the oddness of eating a carrot in a bun, it is surprisingly good. The creative and innovative dishes are plated beautifully. Get your Instagram feed ready.

EXPERT TIPS BY:
Courtney Sunday
Toronto Local Expert
- Restaurants with Healthy Menus: "The service is fast moving, so even if you forgot to make a reservation, you shouldn't have to wait long."
- Lunch: "The wine and beer list isn't entirely vegan. Keep an eye out, veggie-loving friends."
- Best Restaurants: "If you eat vegetables more often, the truffle fries don't count. Right? RIGHT?"
- Best for Restaurants with Healthy Menus Because: Versatile ingredients that have no desire to fake meat but rather let plants do what they do best: shine.
- Best for Lunch Because: Having a lunch that won't make you feel badly about yourself for the rest of the afternoon is key. Planta gets this.
- Recommended as Best Restaurants Because: Dark, romantic and prepared to make you feel good about what you just ate - if only all decisions in your life could be so adult.
