"From the same management of Plum Bistro, Plum Pantry is the casual version. My vegan partner is hard to please; but we both celebrate this place, and it's adventures in eating. We are especially glad for it's location, where extra-healthy food is harder to find!" — Customer Review

"Oh my lanta! The Buffalo Portobello burger is the best burger I’ve ever had! The sauce was delicious, it’s so much better than any vegan veggie patty you’ll get at Red Robin’s or Johnny Rockets. The price of $10ish might seem a little steep at first but it is so worth it. Caution though that it definitely will set a high standard for all other vegan burgers you’ll have in the future!" — Customer Review

Chef Makini

She is a lifelong vegan who believes that what is good for the individual will be good for the planet and that this is nowhere more evident than in the diet we choose.

Makini has been passionate about creating a beautiful and stylish dining experience for vegans, foodies, and omnivores since her days living in the Big Apple as a men’s denim designer. She has created Plum Restaurants to answer the need for complete, plant-based meals focused on organically-grown seasonal vegetables, non-GMO soy, and organic and local fruits and herbs from family-owned farms. Her cooking combines the familiar and surprising to delight diners with the best ingredients the earth provides.
