Service was friendly but slow. Found out later that soup wasn’t available and had to re-order something else. Order that wasn’t affected came last and had to prompt to get it made. Was a busy night for the staff and it showed. Otherwise, always enjoy Fresh on Front.

About the restaurant

Planta was opened with the purpose of creating delicious food that promotes environmental sustainability. Under Chef David Lee, Planta aimed at filling a void in the market of upscale, full service, plant-based dining options. The restaurant's vision is to celebrate innovative cuisine in a beautiful environment without the use of any animal products. There’s more to responsible plant-based eating than just taking animals off the plate and our commitment to using high-quality products from ethical suppliers provides the foundation for our chefs to be proud of the food they serve.

Came here to celebrate my partners birthday! We had a great time. Everyone was so friendly and helped us out with getting seated. I love how cozy the restaurant felt and that their menu has amazing options! I had the elderflower martini to drink and it was one of my favourites! We had the Caesar salad and the bruschetta to share. Caesar salad was great and the focaccia for the bruschetta was so soft! For mains I had the cremini rigatoni which was soo good and creamy! Our server was amazing. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Our tiramisu at the end was the perfect touch to a perfect night! I also signed up for points every time I eat out here! I will definitely be back! Thanks everyone for a special night! ☺️

This was my first visit to Fresh. Absolutely loved the fact that I could order just anything off the menu without worrying about if there’s meat or eggs in it. Delicious food!
