"The plant-based burger at this vegan restaurant in Cow Hollow would make plenty of the city’s meat versions go cower in a corner. It’s reason alone to get here for an extra-long lunch after picking up luxury dog treats in the area. The patty is made with a well-spiced mix of mushrooms and spinach and gets a nice crust around the edges that keeps the whole thing in one piece. Grilled onions, sweet tomato chutney, and a swath of chipotle aioli tie it all together." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"Wildseed fits in nicely with the health-minded places in Cow Hollow, and it looks like Free People, Key West, and Venice had a baby. This sort of scene-y spot specializes in plant-based, Italian and Mediterranean-leaning dishes of mostly passable pizzas, pastas, salads, and sharing plates. There’s a standout king trumpet mushroom ceviche, a paprika-heavy chicory salad, and fruity juices and cocktails to match. Another perk is that this spot has a range—come for brunch/lunch, daily happy hour, or to sit at the bar to drink a spiked green juice after afternoon yoga." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"Wildseed, local restaurateur Adriano Paganini’s plant-based restaurant and bar, is one of the buzziest players on the plant-based restaurant scene. The menu boasts local, vegan, and seasonally-driven dishes like “neatball” masala and a rigatoni bolognese (with Impossible “meat”). The Meyer lemon cheesecake feels and tastes so genuinely cheesy that you’ll think a mistake has been made." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Taking over the former Belga space, Wildseed is still within the Back of the House restaurant group (also behind Beretta, Lolinda, Super Duper). This vegan spot was one of the freshest openings of 2019, serving up beet poke, green pizza, and freshly squeezed cocktails." - Paolo Bicchieri
"If smoky, toasted vegetables and nuts are your love language, this salad from the entirely plant-based spot in Cow Hollow is your dream boat. Chicories, butter lettuce, sweet drop peppers, and toasted almonds are tossed in paprika. But the smoky standout component is the coconut “bacon,” which is charred within an inch of its life (in an excellent way). Since this is one of the scenier vegan restaurants in town, prepare to suck it down with a spiked green juice in a place that looks like Free People, Key West, and Venice had a baby." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
