PLANT CAFÉ

BEST FOR A vegan meal in the heart of Cape Town. FOOD Start off with soup with tempeh, mushroom tartare, fried cheese sticks or tacos. For mains, the happy salmon burger is tasty with crunchy carrot bits and a slight sweet flavour, served on a bun with a savoury avocado guacamole. Or try the mushroom burger with sautéed mushrooms, cashew cheese, tomatoes and mayo on a bun. A popular dish is the quesadillas with smokey refried beans, vegan cheese and cooked salsa filling. The desserts include brownies and the Superfood raw cheesecake. DRINKS There’s a selection of fresh juices, cold drinks, mocktails, craft beers and ciders. House-infused rum is displayed in large tap jars, and white, red and sparkling wines are available. SERVICE Friendly and welcoming. AMBIENCE Plant has a bit of a forest vibe. Cut wooden crates decorate the walls, filled with living wall plants. The space is relaxed, natural and informal. (TM)
