The Plot

Chef Davin Waite and his wife, Jessica, opened this all-vegan restaurant on Coast Highway in January 2020, building the menu around regenerative, mostly local farms rather than simply organic ones. The patio, ringed by an herb garden with heat lamps and spare blankets, reads more like a backyard than a dining room. In-house plant proteins carry the menu: a chickpea "tuna," a lion's mane mushroom crab in sushi rolls, and roasted cauliflower finished with a faux fish sauce instead of the real thing.
