Planta

While Atlanta’s meat-free dining scene has come a long way, Planta’s fully plant-based international menu fills a void with items like sushi rolls, where marinated watermelon stands in for ahi, and other housemade, less processed faux meats. A collection of tropical plants, wood panel booths, and wicker light fixtures will transition you away from the neighboring chaos of Krog Street Market into this trendier, upbeat space that has easily settled into the hip date night for vegans (and celeb vegans, like JD). But you don’t have to be vegan to enjoy their rose sauce pasta or a sweet and spicy waffle topped with meaty yet crispy mushrooms. And the creative cocktails and backdrop of EDM tunes make it a chic scene.
