"Your quick, healthy options in Downtown are very limited, which makes Manna all the more valuable. This casual spot can work for takeout or a quiet sit-down meal, and the food is all plant-based and vegan (with the exception of some smoothies that use honey). It’s relaxing in here, with plants and a couch and a general atmosphere that is the opposite of the grimy traffic that awaits you outside. They have smoothies, soups, bowls, and a selection of “arepas” that look more like little pizzas. " - Ryan Pfeffer
"Manna is a narrow Downtown restaurant, and one of those places good for a quick, casual breakfast or lunch. They’ve got the usual suspects: acaí bowls, smoothies, and veggie bowls. But they also have a great coconut meat ceviche served with arepa wedges, burritos wrapped in nori, and a selection of arepas—which are piled with falafel, avocado, and more tasty things. It’s chill enough in here to read a book on your lunch break and usually quick enough to get back before that meeting you’re probably going to be late too anyway." - Ryan Pfeffer, Virginia Otazo

"In the heart of Downtown Miami, this vegan restaurant has been serving locally sourced, plant-based cuisine since 2016. Arepas are loaded with chia and flax seeds and available in renditions like Southwestern (black beans, chickpea, and corn salad) or falafel with red pepper hummus. Opt for bowls like the Eat the Rainbow (turmeric coconut brown rice, mixed greens, peppers, cucumbers, edamame, almonds, carrots, and goji-berry dressing), all of which come with a slice of superfood arepa. Burritos are replaced by healthier “noritos” (roasted nori, or seaweed, sheet), and ceviches like the coconut meat ceviche are bright and refreshing." - Alona Martinez
"In the heart of Downtown, this spot lives and breathes the “eat mas plantas” philosophy, reflected in the extensive menu of bowls, smoothies, and “superfood” arepas. In addition to daily ceviches and cold-pressed juices, customers can explore daily specials that expand their options and choices." - Alona Martinez
