Exclusive: Why Planta Left Canada Behind—and Where It Wants To Expand To Next
VegNews • Jun 09, 2026
Planta, a popular vegan restaurant chain that initially started in Toronto, has gone through financial struggles and bankruptcy. Despite this, the brand is preparing for a major comeback by focusing on the US market and expanding to new locations. The new menu will be globally inspired, reflecting the diversity of plant-based cuisine found around the world, with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients and ingredient-driven cooking.

The brand plans to focus on cities like San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland, which have strong food cultures and health-conscious consumers, aligning with Planta's vision. As the plant-based sector continues to evolve, Planta aims to provide dishes that offer protein, freshness, and nutritional value while delivering exceptional dining experiences. The goal for the next three to five years is to continue pushing the boundaries of plant-forward dining, innovate through menu development, hospitality, and culinary creativity, and expand into new markets where the concept can thrive.
