PLANTA Brings Plant-Based Restaurant Concept to SoCal
PLANTA, a plant-based hospitality group, is expanding to Los Angeles with the opening of PLANTA Cocina in Marina del Rey. It’s the first of three PLANTA restaurants slated to open in Los Angeles this year, with locations in Brentwood and West Hollywood to follow.
As the first PLANTA Cocina in the U.S., the location features a Latin-inspired menu, including Spicy Tuna Tacos, Croquetas, and Coconut Ceviche, as well as PLANTA staples, such as the Ahi Watermelon Nigiri and Bang Bang Broccoli.
“We are constantly working to raise the bar for plant-based hospitality and are committed to delighting guests with our thoughtful and adventurous dining experience,” said Steven Salm, PLANTA founder and CEO. “This location is evolutionary for PLANTA, and we wanted to bring something fresh to the West Coast.”
Founded in 2016 by Salm and Chef David Lee, Miami-based PLANTA has expanded to 12 locations primarily in the eastern U.S.
