Plant in Asheville is hands down our favorite restaurant; it's all vegan. We try to go at least once a year, and, while it's not cheap, it's always worth it, and it's the only vegan restaurant I know of where meat-eaters rave about the food. We were supposed to go in late January for my wife's birthday dinner, but a snowstorm prevented us from making the trip, so we went last weekend. Even though we postponed our reservation by a couple of months, they surprised us with the cake in the final photo.
1 = tofu picatta over a cauliflower and potato puree with roasted oyster mushrooms
2 = pesto ravioli (my favorite plate of the evening but I don't remember the specifics of the dish)
3 = lion steak tostadas
4 = cheese plate
5 = chocolate cake
