"Ask a Seattle vegan what their favorite comfort food is, and there’s a good chance they’ll say Plum Bistro’s “Mac & Yease.” The longtime Capitol Hill vegan spot has plenty of hearty options across a spectrum of cuisines, from the General Tso Cauliflower Bowl to the Oyster Mushroom Po Boy and the Plum Classic Reuben." - Sean Keeley, Eater Staff
"Plum Bistro is a sit-down spot on Capitol Hill with an entirely vegan menu that encompasses everything from complex salads to crispy fried oyster mushroom "calamari." Eating here feels like eating at an urban yoga studio, but one that smells like pastrami-spiced tofu reubens instead of sweat. The cajun-spiced mac and yease alone is worth a trip. " - aimee rizzo
"Plum is an amazing restaurant, period—never mind that it’s 100% vegan. Eating here feels like getting a slightly classed-up meal in a yoga studio, and you’ll find great cocktails, plant-based dishes that actually taste good (like pan-seared creole tempeh, tofu piccata, and buffalo portobello burgers), and an atmosphere perfect for dinner with family or a group catch-up session. No matter what, make sure the cajun mac and yease hits the table." - aimee rizzo
