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, tamillo mayo and spiced fries. Carrot dogs with 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
- 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?"
- 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."
- 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.
- 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.
