Great, best for desserts! - Edit
Delicious food! Still oily and not nutrition-focused, but a fun time. Good atmosphere, though small space, so possibly plan for a wait. All 4 desserts were outstanding - creative and delicious and sooo good!!! Perfectly executed!

Really good! Great service - Edit
The portions are a decent size and there is a lot to choose from. The service was amazing and super welcoming. It’s a cute spot and we had a great meal here after spending a lot of time in the nearby national parks without access to good vegan food. 😁 We were able to get a table without a reso on a Saturday night but they were pretty busy otherwise.

Unmissable Seattle Gem - Edit
Everything is fantastic. It’s amazing to see places doing so well with an almost entirely house-made menu. The mac and cheese is as good as it’s hyped to be. The buffalo portobello mushroom burger is one of the top portobello burgers I’ve ever had. When we come to Seattle we always go more than once.
Read morePros: Amazing house made staples, Everything on the menu is great, Fun spot with great service

Hello plum bistro, my old friend! - Edit
I’ve come to feast with you again! Simon & Garfunkel references aside, I do so love this place and try to eat here any time I visit Seattle (which is often). Enjoyed lunch with my non-vegan husband today. We had lettuce wraps, fries, and cauliflower. All tasty.

Delicious!! - Edit
I came here with some family members and everyone loved their food!! Including my mom who isn’t vegan! Our only negative is was that service was a little slow but it was understandable because it looked like there was only one serving working that day.

It did not live up to the hype - Edit
I have been hearing how great Plum is for years and finally decided to check it out. I will say that it didn't live up to the hype that I heard about it. The menu items I got seemed very overpriced for the size and taste of the meal. I got the Mac & Yease which was very oily and the texture of the cheese was chunky and off putting, I wish it had been more creamy and less greasy. I also got the Plum Classic Reuben which was alright but didn't feel like a Reuben to me, the cabbage didn't have that classic sauerkraut taste and the dressing was just okay. My friend got the Plum Slam which I tried as well and I will say that I did enjoy the sausage and tofu scram very much, however her hashbrowns were very tough and almost stale tasting like it had been made 20 minutes before the rest of her food was ready. Overall I think that the breakfast items might be better than their main lunch items but I don't think it would be worth it for me to return.

Fun spot - Edit
I love this spot, great ambiance and open air seating. The Reuben and lettuce wraps weren’t my jam on this particular day. But I would go back in a heartbeat and try all the other amazing sounding items

Amazing dinner! - Edit
Everything was spectacular! I had the grilled Cuban black beauty, my family has the mama African salad, and we split the Mac and yease. Everything was perfectly seasoned and filling, practically had to roll out of the restaurant! Definitely a must if you're a vegan visiting Seattle.

Tops - Edit
What a great cafe. From the food to the service, the experience was exceptional.
Read moreThe Reuben sandwich was oversized and absolutely delicious. So nice that it comes with a salad instead of fries! The mango cheesecake was light and flavorful with a delectable graham cracker crust. The bread pudding was also uniquely light and flavorful with vanilla ice cream on top. Both desserts were sweetened to perfection- not overly sweet but just right!
Pros: Excellent quality food, Exceptional service, Multiple protein options

A lovely treat - Edit
Plum Bistro has the best vegan Mac and cheese! Crave it often and been trying to replicate it at home for years with no success. This is fine dining with a plethora of fabulous and creative options.

My "fancy" restaurant of choice - Edit
Plum is where my wife and I go for special occasions. It is great. I've been there about 10 times and have never been disappointed. The people who work there are always nice. I can't think of anything else to add, except that it makes me hungry just thinking about their tempeh concoctions.
Read moreMy most recent success was the vegan Reuben sandwich. I don't miss eating meat, EXCEPT reuben sandwiches, which for some reason I still crave 25 years after becoming vegetarian and 3 years after becoming vegan. Now there are at least 2 places in Seattle that serve vegan Reubens, and Plum's is excellent!

Love this place, one of the few fine dining options in Seattle for vegans. Some items are more uniquely amazing, but everything is good. Actually don't love the burgers, but the pizza and plates tend to be awesome.

Oh, yum - Edit
Wow!! I think I found my favorite plant-based restaurant in Seattle. I haven't been inside this restaurant but I know they deliver on taste! I ordered the Macho Burrito (featuring soy chorizo, black beans,

avocado, house-made chipotle & jalapeño aioli) and my husband ordered the Mac & Yease, plant-based mac & cheese. He said it was even better than normal mac & cheese! My burrito was so incredibly tasty and filling and I enjoyed the two different dipping sauces with a slight preference for the spicier one. It is good to know their hours as they are not open in the middle of the day, so, plan accordingly.
