The Plantry Cafe

A whimsical one-of-a-kind dining experience is the way I would describe The Plantry Cafe. I loved everything about the cafe. I love nature and trees, so to be welcomed by a tree felt dominant, yet welcoming. It was exciting! The ambiance was attractive, sophisticated,and bold. The food and drinks were delicious, and the quality of the ingredients was apparent. Dr. Crifassi's passion for high-quality and healthy food options was apparent. Her expertise and dedication were admirable. I was impacted most by the story behind the restaurant. As a caring doctor who believes in holistic medicine, she decided to give people somewhere to get healthy options instead of just telling them what to do. I'm thankful for this option, as it is a minority in Baton Rouge. It is truly a healthy experience that makes you happy! I look forward to visiting again!

I recently visited The Plantry Cafe and it was a really pleasant experience. The cafe has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal. The staff were all super friendly adding to the overall warm vibe of the place. The food was quite impressive and I am not even close to being vegan. I particularly enjoyed the Capri sandwich which included marinated artichoke, cashew mozzarella, tomato, basil, roasted red and yellow pepper pesto, grilled balsamic mushrooms. Overall, The Plantry Cafe delivers a wonderful dining experience. It’s a place I’d happily recommend to friends and visit again. It deserves a well-earned five stars for its great food, perfect atmosphere, and friendly service. Katherine, the owner, is a very lovely lady and an exceptional conversationalist who appears to have put an enormous amount of time into this place. It definitely shows.

The food was absolutely delicious and the ambience was outstanding, but the portions were tiny and the prices were quite high. We ordered a mushroom appetizer, which ended up being just three tiny pieces, each about the size of a marker cap. We got a good laugh that this was called a 'shareable.' It was great, especially the sauce, but not worth $16. Our main courses were likewise, amazing but small. I guess it all depends on your expectations. I'd say Plantry would be a solid 5 stars if you're not particularly hungry and don't mind spending over $100 on a meal for two (without drinks). But if you're famished or watching your spending, this place may not be for you.

Phenomenal experience! Fine dining done right! Delicious and elegant. If you want to impress someone, take them here. Date, lunch with a friend, any situation! And it's all plant based! ☺️

Fiancé and I decided to give this place a try. We were initially a little hesitant because of price point and plant based foods can be hit or miss but it was spectacular and surpassed our expectations! It’s a fantastic spot for a date night. Every detail of the atmosphere is carefully thought out. The menu is on the smaller side but we tried the acorn squash risotto, beet carpaccio, harecuterie sampler, and mushroom pâté. Every dish was well balanced, thoughtful, and flavorful. It’s a place to go and really savor each bite. We particularly enjoyed the harecuterie and mushroom pâté. Highly recommend giving Plantry a try! Haven’t seen anything else close to this in BR yet. (We don’t have any dietary restrictions, just enjoy good food)
