L O V E this restaurant! Theyve really made an effort to be unique and stand out. Everything on their menu is plant-based (even though most of the time you cant tell). Their prices are also really good for the amount of food you get. I highly recommend everyone visits here to see how quirky the place is, and to taste the awesome food they make. The staff are also amazing and friendly. It can be a bit of a struggle to find parking, as it is in the city, so if you stay close by maybe try just walking or grabbing an Uber there. It really is one worth planning a visit to!

One of my favorite vegan restaurants/cafes. Their portions are more than generous and always so so yummy. A few things that Ive tried thus far: nachos, plant burger, mushroom & cheese burger, hot dog and their dim sum pot stickers (numerous times).

I really liked this restaurant. Over the last couple of weeks I made an effort to look for vegan restaurants and this is definitely one worth checking out. Lovely open atmosphere and calm setting, great location with ample parking space and clean bathrooms. Food was stunning. Our little boy loved the mac and cheese. This is definitely one for our books and we will go back very soon.

One of my absolute favourite places to eat. The music is great, the prices are good, service is friendly and helpful - I wanted to taste the “bacon” and mushrooms so the waitress helped me to alter my dish. The interior decoration is unpretentious and authentic I adore this place. I ate here twice in two days, I just couldn’t stay away.

I love this vegan place. It has a cosy and intimate feel. The food is tasty and simple. I could easily eat at this place about once a week. The menu options are good. I would have loved a bit more variety in the menu but I guess they are trying to keep the offerings simple.

We came for lunch, excited to visit our first fully vegan restaurant in Cape Town - it did not disappoint.The menu has something to suit all tastes - from Asian flavours to vegan twists on South African dishes.On our first visit for lunch we had the breakfast burrito and nachos. Both were absolutely delicious. Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful - suggesting the burrito to us as one of the best things on the menu. He wasn’t wrong.We really loved our lunch, so came back a couple of days later for dinner. On this visit we had the tasting plate to start - Home made ‘cream cheese’, carrot ‘salmon’, pickles with delicious bread. For mains we had the bobotie and rice paper rolls. It was great to be able to try an African inspired dish!Everything was really reasonably priced, especially compared to what we are used to in London.Happy to see use of bamboo straws, which were also for sale. We even took home some delicious mushroom biltong.Highly recommend!

Lovely interior, peaceful setting and great service. Not entirely sold on the food just yet but definitely keen to give it another go. I had the Happy Salmon Burger which had great flavour but the patty was a bit too soft.They had half price Kombucha on top which was a massive win!

Review №18

The service was friendly & attentive. The 4 of us went not knowing what to expect but we enjoyed the starter combo (suggested by the supervisor). Our mains were yummy! Only I enjoyed the juice. It is an acquired taste but the supervisor again stepped in & made a suggestion of the green juice which all of us liked. He also told us about the Sunday menu they were working on. It sounded delicious! I certainly would like to go back!

It was my first time at Plant,Loop Street today and was a bit dissapointedFirstly the cashier had no change and had to count coins out of her personal wallet for me,second the doughnut I bought is really distasteful,you can taste the raw dough on the inside🙁The babotie I ordered was good,however not something I will try again

Review №25

We order the Schnitzel and the BBQ ribs. The pictures I added show the awfulness of our dishes and how much I regret my choice. While they are supposed to be two different things they are clearly the same seitan. The bbq sauce is plain tomato sauce and the mushroom sauce that was described in the menu wasn’t sent. And the salad that they sent is plain and tasteless.We had gone to have dinner a week ago and had a pleasant experience, but this has shown me that they can show total lack of interest in their customers. Compared to the great level of service shown from other places this is unacceptable. A great disappointment.I hope you do a deep revision of the services you provide.

I joined two Vegan friends for dinner at Plant and I loved my meal. The Nachos was delicious, packed full of fresh ingredients. Friendly service and a super chill vibe. Vegan or not, is worth a visit!

Shared a plant burger (dark filling patty) and a mushroom burger (with a light cheese patty) They were flexible in changing some ingredients in my fresh juice. Not 5 start as the service could be more attentive and proactive.

We had 2 amazing dinners at the plant so far . Staff was super friendly. Although they didnt had the starter on the menu anymore, they still did it for us. Bolognese was very nice as well. Last time we had the nachos, they were amazing ! Well be back on Sunday for pizza day !

Always came to Plant whenever in Cape Town.Last week two mates and I got takeaway meals of their amazing beans enchiladas - mine had an old box of Lion Matches stuck to the bottom!I was really disappointed and tried to call them numerous times to give them this feedback, to no avail. I always always raved about the food here, but this experience was a huge let down. During a pandemic one hopes that cleanliness/health and safety measures are tighter, especially in the food prep areas.I’ll spare everyone the unappetising picture.

Review №51

Expensive and a little disappointing, juice was nice but they didnt have a lot of the items on the menu (no beet burger) and one of the group had to wait for their food for ages after the rest arrived. If youre a vegan its probably a good choice. If youre not, there are so many more reasonably priced and better food joints in Cape Town.

A previously must-visit vegan friendly spot seems to have taken a turn for the worse. Staff are seen not wearing face masks properly covering both their mouth and nose, while handling food and customers. One bottle of sanitizer stands by the door only to be used by customers entering the venue. To top it all off they had no mango to make the mango smoothie :( - and multiple other food items on the menu that we wanted to order.

Another fabulous time at Plant, our family celebrating a birthday on Heritage day, the same as last year, the year before and our 3rd year visiting this restaurant. Our youngests birthday celebration. Kudos to chef Angela, you never disappoint. This time youve exceeded all expectations. Thank you for going the extra mile. Much appreciated. Till next year, Heritage Day, 24 September 2020. Keep going, keep up the good work, another feather in your cap. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Apologies, our family depleted the gin and tonic, now you know to stock for 24 Sept 2020.

Ive been here twice. This is a vegan place. Im very much a meat eater, however this was great. I didnt even miss the meat.Everything here is unique including the great selection of interesting beer.Vegans, this is how you reach people. Through their stomach, not by toytoying in front of my local butcher.
