Chase Hospitality Group (CHG) opened their latest restaurant endeavor, Planta, this week! Chef David Lee (owner of Nota Bene) has partnered with CHG and is Planta’s Executive Chef. The Yorkville restaurant features an entirely plant-based menu, a collaboration between Chef David Lee and CHG’s Culinary Leaders, Chef Michael Steh, and Chef Tyler Shedden. Planta replaces the Pangaea Restaurant at 1221 Bay Street, and is CHG’s sixth restaurant. The combination of Planta’s playful menu, fun relaxed atmosphere and casual dining experience makes CHG’s newest restaurant unlike anything Toronto has seen before.
“We’ve wanted to introduce this type of restaurant and dining experience to
Toronto for quite some time now, and are excited to offer innovative plant-based
meals inspired by all parts of the world”, says Steven Salm, President of Chase
Hospitality Group. “The Yorkville neighbourhood could not be a better fit for our
vision.”
The 100% plant-based, globally inspired menu is crafted with flavourful profile
cooking techniques that highlight the ingredients and offers guests a fresh
alternative to thinking about food. Keeping in line with CHG’s commitment to sustainability, the thoughtfully developed wine list is 100% bio-dynamic and organic, while the beverage list features fresh-pressed juice cocktails. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is served, and take-out options are offered at all meals. Planta seats 165, including a 32-seat private dining room. The bright and open space, combined with touches of wood detail, bronze accents, plays off the natural Bay Street light shining through the oversized street-facing windows.
Stop by Planta at 1221 Bay Street.
