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.
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! 🙂
Ahh the dessert looks SO yum! A lot of the times I think I eat my meal just to get to the dessert part 🙂
Ok. Just the description of that cheescake made me drool
Now I have food envy.
THAT CHEESECAKE!
The veggieburger looks awesome too!
The dessert looks delicious! I’ll have to check this out sometime.
CAN I SPLIT THAT WITH YOU? (hehehehehe)
It all looks amazing!
The burger sounds scrumptious.
Both the desserts look very yummy.
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 >:]
Yummy noms! Totally meow-worthy! Have to check out this place when i visit SF next time :).

That looks like a delish lunch. And, honestly, what’s not made better with a little avocado? 🙂
Pear Tart? Coffee Ice Cream? YES!
