Lunch at The Plant Cafe in San Francisco

December 5th, 2012 by Karen 14 Comments






The veggie California Plant Burger with avocado and white cheddar cheese

I just got back from having lunch at The Plant Cafe in San Francisco with my friend Kate.

The restaurant’s known for their veggie burgers, which they make in-house out of lentils, mushrooms, beets, cashews and bulgar wheat.

I ordered one and thought it was really good. It tasted fresh, had a nice texture (can’t stand it when veggie burger patties are so tough that it feels like I’m eating a shoe!) and wasn’t greasy at all.

The Plant Burger also comes with mixed greens and herb roasted fingerling potatoes

For dessert, Kate got the raspberry cheesecake, and I chose the pear tart. The pear tart was okay, but the raspberry cheesecake was the bomb dot com. I had a bit of food envy, for sure.

There’s a few different Plant Cafe locations in SF, and the one we went to is located near the Ferry Building. If you go, try to make reservations for the covered deck area out back. You get a really pretty view of the Bay, and on cold days, they turn on the heat lamps, so it’s comfy.

Highly recommended, especially if you like vegetarian food (there’s also lots of non-veg dishes, too).

Can’t wait to go back! 🙂

    Coffee ice cream! My favorite ice cream flavor of all time. And veggie burgers for once actually look appetizing. Must visit when I’m back in SF >:]

    That looks like a delish lunch. And, honestly, what’s not made better with a little avocado? 🙂

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
