10 PLANT-BASED RESTAURANTS TO TRY IN MIAMI
Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner (a lo gringo cause they close at 7 PM), Manna has an extensive menu for veggie lovers. We caught our eye: Seaweed-based nori wraps and superfood arepas.

Chances are that when you hear the word “vegan” or “plant-based,” the immediate thought that comes to mind is “tasteless.” But what if I told you that I’ve tried one of the tastiest roasted veggie nori wraps? And a passion fruit cheesecake that has cheese only in its name, yet it’s completely vegan and completely amazing?
Manna’s approach to organic eating is on a whole other level — but that’s a good thing. You won’t find bread-heavy sandwiches or wraps made with thick tortillas here. Instead, they’ve got their own way of doing things, like Life Bowls (like a roasted veggie and coconut brown rice bowl or one that features baked tofu, seeds and nuts, and edamame) and Noritos (burritos made with nori wraps rather than tortillas). But don’t be too intimidated — they’re a friendly bunch.
If your workday menu looks anything like the average Miamian’s, it probably goes something like this: cafecito, pastelito, colada, Cuban sandwich, café con leche. That’s why the 305 is in desperate need of a siesta come 3:05. Instead of putting yourself to sleep (and gaining an unpleasant paunch), opt instead for life-affirming superfoods for lunch…
Manna is a Downtown love fest of wellness and nutrition. The menu is based on superfoods and engineered to add energy and sustenance to busy Miami lifestyles.
Until recently, if you were a vegan or vegetarian in Miami, you were basically SOL, especially when it came to fine dining. In a town where pork is not considered the “other” white meat, and even rice and beans usually contain meat products, scoring food without animal ingredients was a serious long shot.
