The best vegan restaurants in Miami? I’ve got you covered.

I went to Miami last November to visit friends, and let me tell you, the food there is on another level. There was lots of Caribbean and South American influence, which included plenty of seafood, so if you’re vegan and visiting Miami then it’s useful to know a few spots in advance. For example, I spent a long time walking along the waterfront on Ocean Drive looking for somewhere I could get a good meal, and most restaurants didn’t have a single plant-based option.

There was a real mix in the places I ate at, and I had some amazing food, and some not so great meals too — these places didn’t make the cut, and they were often delivery food anyway. However, I had some delicious food, as I was shown where to eat by my friend, a local, who also happens to be a food fanatic.

Here are my top three recommendations for eating out in Miami, as a vegan.

#1. Planta, Miami Beach $$$$

For Miami locals, this is probably a predictable top choice. Planta is known for its staggering array of plant-based foods, with an extravagant menu of sushi, smoothies, and much more. In fact, the Miami local who was hosting us said it was one of his favourite places as a non-vegan, and that the food beat a lot of non-vegan spots. There’s something for everyone, and Planta is plant-based heaven.
