Craving a once-in-a-lifetime plant-based dining experience? Head on over to Miami, where vegan chef Matthew Kenney will be hosting pop-up dinners at Plnthouse.
This limited-time event will take place at the 1 Hotel South Beach restaurant, Tuesday through Sunday, from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm, until October 31. Kenney will be serving dishes from his latest cookbook, Plantlab, in addition to Plnthouse favourites.
“The pop-up dinner will give guests a chance to explore a new delicious plant-based menu outside of our regular breakfast and lunch hours,” said Gabriel Rivera, director of food and beverage at the hotel. “The menu features recipes from Kenney’s newest cookbooks and will showcase inventive techniques in dishes that look beautiful and taste divine.”
The menu will include appetizers, mains, and desserts that are meant to please both vegans and meat eaters.
“Of course, since the opening of Plnthouse, the response from omnivores has been very positive with how unique and robust the plates taste,” Rivera continued. “We are committed to consistently delivering rich flavours in every dish, and in order to attract a wide range of consumers, we offer a plant-based cuisine that is refined, healthful, and savoury.”
