🍫🍰 Oh my! This was a divine #chocolate #cake when I’m not even so much a fan of them. It’s made of rich #organic Belgian🇧🇪 #darkchocolate ganache infused with salted 🧂caramel and a hint of #peanutbutter 🥜which is what made it for me. It was moist and decadent but I couldn’t get enough. I worried it would be too rich but it was perfect. Like many of their dishes they can make this #glutenfree for you for an extra charge but there’s limited availability. It’s probably worth calling 📞in advance for that. We also got the lemon 🍋lavender cake again which was just awesome too. My partner said he’d come back just for that alone. #sweettooth #dessert This place is very special and a must visit for special occasions. #veganrestaurant #saveveganrestaurants #allveganrestaurant #chocoholic 💵$12.50 📅December 2024

🐌🧄🧈 Oh yum! This was #shiitake #mushroom 🍄‍🟫made to resemble #escargot or snails which I did try once in France 🇫🇷before going #plantbased. 🌱It’s just strips of the mushroom perfectly cooked with🍾 #whitewine #lemon 🍋 #garlic #nooch #veganbutter with B12. There were lots of herbs too maybe parsley🌿? Loads of the dishes here are also #glutenfree which is helpful for some. Totally recommend. #veganrestaurant #saveveganrestaurants Please support this fantastic restaurant as it was too quiet for a Friday night for our liking. 💵$14.50 📅December 2024

Shiitake ‘Escargots’

🌱 #plantbased #veganrestaurant that will really knock your socks off! We got this when they had run out of the aubergine/eggplant sadly but it was a wonderful choice. While very pricey for us, it was awesome. The #vegansalmon looked and tasted very close to the original and even flaked like fish 🐟does. The menu describes that this is eco friendly and made from fermented #soy 🫛with 20 grams of #protein per serving and lots of omega 3s. It was served with a delectable #garlic 🧄baby #spinach 🌿and smooth #potato 🥔purée. There’s also a🍋 #lemon #capers #butter 🧈over the top. The attention to detail is impressive. I preferred this main while my partner preferred the filet. It’s definitely a place to go for special occasions 🎉🎂as the prices are eye watering. 😢This seems to be the case all over though. It was quiet in the restaurant so I hope they get enough custom to stay in business as it’s too wonderful to go under. #veganrestaurant #saveveganrestaurants #allveganrestaurant #sarasota #florida #glutenfree 💵$36 📅December 2024

This is a very upmarket🌱 #plantbased #veganrestaurant which is out of our price range normally. We splurged on this meal and this dish. It was all delicious though as was everything we ate here and feels like a must visit in the area. My partner didn’t want to come seeing the prices but then was very impressed by all we ate. This #filet 🥩was made from #fermented #soy 🫛and #wheat. It has 36 grams of #protein per serving. There was mashed potato 🥔 with garlic🧄 and rosemary butter 🧈and an arugula 🥗salad on the side. #sarasota #florida #allveganrestaurant #saveveganrestaurants It was very quiet when we visited so I hope they can stay in business. The only disappointment was they ran out of the eggplant 🍆we wanted. Visit this place for a special occasion. 💵$49.50 📅December 2024

🇺🇸🍉 My mom ordered this #cocktail made from #watermelon fresh #mint fresh #lime #agave sour, club soda and Lo-Fi Aperitifs Gentian Amaro. It was $13 and fresh and delicious too. Happy to support this #allveganrestaurant 🌱in #sarasota #florida. ☀️I’d go back for more of the great food. #saveveganrestaurants #veganrestaurant

🇺🇸🍷 This summer #sangria was served at this #allveganrestaurant and was my dad’s choice of drink. He said it wasn’t strong enough. Argh. 🤦‍♀️ It was yummy with an #organic #cabernetsauvignon, some kind of tequila, and fresh #orange #blueberries #hibiscus #cinnamon and some #tonic for $14. #saveveganrestaurants #veganrestaurant

🇺🇸🍐 My father also wanted this poached #pear and #bluecheese #salad. 🥗I thought it was beetroot when it arrived but no. It really tasted of blue cheese to me and had caramelized #walnuts #arugula and a port wine #balsamic vinaigrette. It was $18 and #glutenfree. While almost everything here is made in house they do use Rebel Cheese 🧀I believe for their cheese boards and perhaps this blue. My father said he liked arugula after eating some of this and that is a huge succes for a man who refuses to eat almost all vegetables. This was nice but I’d try something else next time. #saveveganrestaurants #veganrestaurant #allveganrestaurant

Poached Pear & ‘Blue Cheese’ Salad

🇺🇸🍋🍝 My dad chose this one which was great as I was also interested to try this. They make their own #pasta here and you can get #glutenfree pasta if you prefer but it takes 15 minutes longer. This #lemon #alfredosauce is made with #cashew and there were #greenpeas and #arugula / #rocket as a nutritional boost and garnish. It was lovely but I’d try something else next time to see what the other choices are like. It was $22.50. This place is in #sarasota in #florida. I’m glad we went early in my visit so I’ve got the chance to go again before I leave. #allveganrestaurant #saveveganrestaurants #veganrestaurant

Lemon Alfredo Spaghetti

🇺🇸🇫🇷🧅🥣 @picklesnickels turned me onto this #allveganrestaurant in #sarasota not far from where my parents just moved in #florida. This #veganrestaurant was a tranquil oasis from the hustle and bustle. While it was busy at times the server couldn’t have been friendlier or more pleasant despite her being slow due to being the sole person on the floor and bar. This #french #onion #soup was yummy with croutons and homemade #cashew mozzarella gratinée. It was very #peppery which made my dad describe it as #spicy. Happy to bring my omnivore parents and expose them to more #vegan 🌱options to keep them healthy! #saveveganrestaurants It was $12 for a crock of this delicious soup that I’d order again in a heartbeat.

🇺🇸🍋🍰 Oh my goodness. 🤤🤤🤤 This #lemon and #lavender cake was divine as well. It was super moist with homemade #lemoncurd and lemony #creamcheese #frosting. We think that’s some lavender bits on top which my father joked looked like cigarette 🚬ash. 😆 we couldn’t detect the lavender at all really. This is an #allveganrestaurant with delicious food and lovely friendly service which was at times a bit slow as there was only the one server for hosting, serving and making drinks 🍹etc. Poor thing. We will be back for sure to try more things on the menu. It’s the kind of place you want to try everything. This was pricey like everything on the menu at $10.50 but it’s all homemade and delicious. Happy to support an all #veganrestaurant. #saveveganrestaurants #sarasota #florida

🇺🇸🍆 😋 Thanks to @picklesnickels reviews I had this restaurant saved. This place and dish were superb! Melt in your mouth sweet and salty #eggplant / #aubergine with a #plum and #miso glaze with roasted #sesameseeds #tamari and #shirataki #noodles with some #citrus 🍊and #radish. OMG. We shared everything here to try more stuff but this was divine. I’ll have to order it again next time we go. It’s an #allveganrestaurant so you’re safe ordering everything. It’s also a splurge as it’s all quite pricey so maybe you want to save it for a special occasion. $24.50 Yum!! #saveveganrestaurants #veganrestaurant #sarasota #florida

Plum-Miso Glazed Eggplant

My very non-vegan aunt ordered this plant filet. Apparently, she loves a filet mignon and she really enjoyed this plant based version! She has never eaten plant based items and is not very adventurous so I was so pleased that she truly enjoyed everything. Made of soy and wheat, sea salt and colored with beets, the flavor and texture was far too real for me, so I wouldn't order it, but it did taste good. I highly recommend Ka Papa in Sarasota but definitely be prepared to spend some $$, since everything is house made with high quality ingredients. It's also in an upscale, touristy area so reservations are definitely suggested.
