Whether you follow a plant-based diet or not, it cannot be denied: plant-based food can be good for you! Even if you are not vegan or vegetarian, if you visit a plant-based restaurant in this day and age, you’ll likely be amazed at the wonderful foods and flavors that await you. Vegan restaurants are popping up all over, and many of them are very, very, very good—and even omnivores are sure to find some things on their menus that will absolutely blow them away. Don’t be shy—give plant-based cuisine a try!
If you live in the Phoenix metropolitan area, then you’re in luck. There are quite a few great options for plant-based dining in this part of Arizona, but a fantastic place to start your vegan-tasting journey is Seed Shack in Gilbert. This small and friendly restaurant is tucked into a strip mall; if you don’t look closely, you might miss it. But—trust me—you don’t want to miss it because this place is fantastic.
Seed Shack is wonderful and whimsical and offers the very best of plant-based American/Asian fusion cuisine. You’ll love the bright interior that seems, in many ways, to bring the outdoors to the indoors. This restaurant was started by two sisters who love plant-based cuisine and want their customers to love it, too. It’s still family-owned and operated today, and there’s a good chance that you’ll encounter one or both sisters when you stop in for a meal.
This restaurant is extremely well-rated on all platforms, and it’s easy to see why. The menu is vast and diverse and all items offered are made with great care and with much attention to sourcing the best quality ingredients. There’s something for everyone on the menu – and I’m pretty sure it all qualifies as comfort food.
Again, even non-vegans are going to love every dish served here. If you’re someone who enjoys a plant-based diet and wants to convince others to love eating this way, too, this is a perfect place to bring your family and friends. They’re sure to find many things they’ll like just as much as anything they’ve loved with meat or dairy products elsewhere, but without any of the animal-based items involved.
Look at these Buffalo Cauliflower Nachos, for one example. This hearty appetizer includes cauliflower, corn, avocado, cashew cheese, buffalo sauce, jalapeños, and cilantro. You’re sure to love every crunchy bite!
Another fantastic small plate at Seed Shack is the Truffle Bacon Mac & Cheese. Your mouth won’t believe it’s vegan. It includes macaroni, of course, plus truffle cashew cream and vegan, rice-based bacon bits.
Looking for something even bigger? This Barbecue Jackfruit Sandwich is as tasty as it is beautiful. It includes pulled jackfruit, cucumber, pineapple, and peanut slaw on a great big bun. This one is sure to satisfy and amaze you.
The owners and chefs at Seed Shack are so creative. The menu items are all incredible and mouthwatering, and you’re sure to love whatever you order. They’re always coming up with new things, too, like this Mushroom Poutine with Crispy Sage that will impress even the most discerning Canadian.
If you live near Gilbert, Arizona, and haven’t visited Seed Shack yet, then you are really missing out. Again, whether you are an omnivore or an herbivore, you will love everything about this place.
