Planta Queen

The 14 Best Vegan Restaurants in New York City

"Planta's premise feels a bit like a dare: sushi, minus the fish. And they pull it off so well you won't even miss the pescatarian element. The brand's NoMad location feels palatial for New York City, with high-ceilinged dining areas, moody lighting, and good conversation filling both of its floors. The “torched and pressed,” a deceptively simple roll made of avocado glazed with a miso truffle sauce and kissed by a blow torch, is nutty, sweet, and has a mouth-coating richness. If you're craving more than rolls and nigiri, the bang-bang broccoli, Japanese “steak,” and Singapore noodles are sure to leave you satisfied. Within the city, Planta also has two other locations in Williamsburg that serve burgers, pastas, pizzas, and other American comfort classics, all vegan."
