The new Sunset Harbour gem is one of Miami’s hottest new vegan eateries. The innovative menu offers a range of creative vegan dishes that magically mimic the taste of non-plant based plates with fresh superfoods, vegetables and fruits. Everything is made in-house from scratch including core ingredients like nut butters, nut milks, nut flours, superfood pastas made of sweet potatoes or black beans, dehydrated fruits and vegetables, vegan yogurts and dressings and so much more. The signatures include the Buddha Bowl—made with homemade sweet potato pasta, chickpeas, kale, beets and other veggies—the Nobl Veggie Burger highlighted by a truffle-infused garlic dijon; and for a sweet but healthy treat, the Righteous Waffle, based on energy sustaining ancient grains and accented with natural jam and syrups. Exemplifying the brand’s ethos of sustainability and utilizing natural ingredients, the chic interior design incorporates reclaimed wood, bare-bulb pendant lighting and an abundance of greenery.
