Plum Bistro

Last week my friend Cristine and I met for dinner at Plum Bistro, a highly recommended vegan restaurant on Capitol Hill. It was both our first time trying it out. When we got there, we were suprised at how small the restaurant was, but nontheless almost every seat in the house was taken on a Thursday night.

We decided to try some appetizers and split them family style. The first thing we tried was the russet fries. I was too eager to eat and missed a picture on this one. All in all, they were good fries. What I really liked were the three different aioli sauces that came with it. One aioli had incorporated dill in it which was a nice touch. Next we tried their avocado roll and famous mac' n yease.

 
The avocado roll was on the big side. Definitely hard to put in my mouth and chew, but it was pretty good. Although they didn't have chopsticks to go with the roll, which Cristine and I found unusual. I forgot how weird it was to eat a sushi roll with a fork! Anywho, the mac n' yease was really the star of the night. I can see why it's famous; it's super freaking delicious! Even better than a normal mac' n cheese, and I should know because it's one of my favorite comfort foods. I will highly recommend this place just for this appetizer (which I think should really be an entree because it was so tiny!).


For dessert we had the cheesecake. One bite of it and I was shocked. How can this be vegan, it tastes like the real thing? Clearly, Plum Bistro exceeded my expectations, so if you're on the lookout for a vegan joint in Seattle, this is the place to go.

  1. Yeah! Glad you wrote about it...! I'll have to do a posting of it too... I may (probably will) steal these pictures to incorporate on my posting :-p Hope you don't mind! Lol. That was such a fun evening, but you forgot to mention the lovely Syrah at your place before hand... that was heavenly too... almost as good as the mac n yease! <3

  3. GAH! So jealous! We do not have a single vegetarian restaurant where I live. Seriously, if I Google vegan restaurants, a pizza place, a BURGER place, and thai food come up. They have vegan options, but come on!

    My parents live close to TWO, and the non-cheese cheesecake they have down there is amazing! I've been wanting to call my mom and ask if she will send me some vegan dishes. Lol! I have had some amazing vegan mac and cheese. Mac and cheese is absolutely one of the best foods in the world.

    1. Oh I know. Mac n cheese is the best! You need to move to the West Coast! Vegan palces are always popping up on this side of the country ;)
