This vegan restaurant is at the top of my list of restaurants in Chicago!

📍

This time we ordered the crispy rice appetizer, the truffle fried rice we order EVERY TIME, the volcano roll and I got the Korean chicken sandwich to try. TBH, it was a bit small and for me it was alright, but it might not be enough for a man.

The chocolate chip cookie with ice cream was amazing as always 🤤

If you haven’t tried Planta yet, drop everything and go - it’s so worth it.

Vegan meals we ate in business class with .airlines in 2024 ✨

What I immediately noticed is how nutritious, whole foods, and well planned every meal is! We definitely got more than 30 plant points (if you know what I mean) during our flight!

Everything was delicious, full of nutrients and we both enjoyed every bite.

Back to my favorite vegan restaurant in Chicago!

📍Spirit Elephant ()

We can’t get enough of it!

Everything we try is out of this world. I’m still thinking about that lasagna and the creme brûlée!

We had family visiting and we took them to 📍Can’t Believe it’s Not Meat

They are not vegan but they were willing to try the vegan options. They were surprised and said they taste just like the real thing.

We ordered:
1. Philly cheesesteak
2. Gyro Burger
3. Whobetta Burger
4. Pizza Lovers Combo



If you crave a good Philly or burger, this is definitely a must-try place!

Traveling as a vegan means I never leave home without snacks ✈️🌱

Airport food can be hit or miss, so I packed one of my favorite savory snacks from to keep cravings away between flights. This vegan jerky was the perfect carry-on companion - protein-packed, satisfying, and easy to throw in my bag.

I loved this place so much!

We randomly discovered after going to a festival and stopped for food and it was amazing!

The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the whole place is so lovely!

I finally got to try true Mexican food with carne asada, al pastor and they were incredible! My favorite was Al Pastor - perfectly meaty and just the right amount of spice.

I highly recommend everyone to try it out, we will definitely be back!

POV: you found a plant-based chocolate chip cookie dough that tastes dangerously close to the real thing 🍪🤌

Soft, nostalgic, loaded with chocolate chips, and somehow still low sugar + high protein. This is the kind of snack that disappears way too fast in our house 😅

I found my favorite vegan restaurant 😍

I’ve seen posts from Spirit Elephant so many times and I finally went, and it completely lived up to the hype. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and honestly worth getting again and again.

The calamari was the perfect appetizer: crispy on the outside with a marinara sauce that paired so well. The chicken parm was unreal, and the lasagna was hands down the best red lasagna I’ve ever had.

And the desserts… OMG. That cookie dough skillet was crumbly, soft, creamy, and paired perfectly with the ice cream on top.

I also ordered the crème brûlée because I had somehow never tried one before… and now I’m obsessed. 😍

A little galaxy in a glass 💜✨🌌🦄

Layers of blueberry, butterfly pea tea, velvet purple foam, and sakura blossoms floating like stars🌸

This one felt less like a drink and more like a potion from another universe ☁️
