Planta Burger and truffle fries were great. The (1/2) pint of icecream (one scoop) had great flavor but not worth the price.

The HOUSE BURGER was too salty, and the BREAD PUDDING FRENCH TOAST wasnt good at all as it didnt taste like French toast nor bread pudding... just soft bread. The only flavor came from the syrup, whipped cream and the strawberries . I couldnt finish eating the toast. The AVOCADO BEETROOT TARTARE was tasty but the Peking duck salad didn't have enough "duck" for the price.

I had the falafel crunch wrap and the big cookie. It was my first time having the wrap. It was tasty but a bit too salty for me.
I'm always amazed at how large the big cookie is, but it was good as well.

As a Vegan, I first fell in love with Planta in Miami. The food was so delicious that even my non-vegan boyfriend said that it was one of the best menus he's ever tried.
When I heard that Planta was opening a restaurant in my own DC backyard, in Bethesda, I was so excited. I went there as soon as they opened, and at first they didn't disappoint. The food was just as good as when I first tried it back in Miami. The place was getting just as popular too.
But then something changed. I'm not sure what happened, but when I soon went back with my boyfriend, we noticed a significant drop in quality of food. I thought it was just a fluke, we went back for his birthday, six months later for Valentine's Day. The place was just as popular, but the food wasn't good anymore.
Still as a vegan, I desperately wanted to love Planta, and recently ordered their CHICK'N FRIED MUSHROOMS and BANG BANG BROCCOLI on DoorDash. I was disappointed once again. The batter on broccoli was clumpy, the mushrooms looked strangely pale. It was edible, but just poor quality. The sauces were pretty good though, so it helped.
Anyway, I really want Bethesda Planta to do better, because as vegans in DC area, we need more excellent restaurants to show others the benefits of veganism. But unfortunately so far our Planta is not much to brag about.

The food was delicious but the entree was such a small portion for the $$ it wasn't worth it. In fact, portion was smaller than the 1/2 leftovers I brought home from same restaurant (same dish) last week. Disappointing.
