Toronto-based Planta, a plant-based restaurant chain with restaurants in Toronto and Florida, is opening its first U.S. location outside of Florida in Bethesda, Maryland.
Planta will take the space of the former Cafe Deluxe at Federal Realty’s Bethesda Row, which closed early last year.
When it opens this summer, Planta will have 140 seats inside and a 50-seat outdoor patio. The menu includes dishes such as Ahi Watermelon Nigiri, cauliflower tots, Bang Bang broccoli, plant-based salads and pizzas, and a plant-based burger.
One of Planta’s six other restaurants is also in a Federal Realty property, CocoWalk Shopping Center in Miami.
