Reviews for Ka Papa Cuisine 100% plant-based & vegan in Sarasota, FL

I'm vegan. My husband is not. He did me a real solid by coming and indulging me. The food was outstanding, inventive, and... appealing to everyone - regardless. Thank you Shane for your impeccable service and recommendations. You helped us navigate amenu that I'm sure would not have disappointed no matter what we ordered. I am just thrilled, beyond words, to come to someplace that has options!!! A very strong recommend no matter your food preference. Read more

Amazing dining experience. Some of the best vegan food we?ve ever had! Even better then vegan home cooking :) our favorite... things were the spicy edamame and the French onion soup was to die for, you must order it! We sat in the breezeway and eventhough it was a little early it still felt intimate and romantic. Read more

I super enjoyed this experience. Do yourself A favor and schedule a couple hours at least for this experience. It?s too great to... rush. Vibe: comforting yet elegant - many details like in the plate selection. The restrooms and their bath salt hand wash is awonderful surprise and extra bonus points for tapping into a Florida salt culture in this way Menu selection: a perfect handfulof unique items. Enough to display variety in their creativity yet not overwhelming where it?s intimidating to make a decision.The display was thoughtful and emanated their passion. Service: friendly, the right amount of checking in with peaceful andkind demeanor. Food: I love being able to come to a place and trust that the those making decisions are in alignment with myvalues. Local (when appropriate), organic, vegan etc? the French onion soup, the stuffed tomato, the cookie and the cappuccino!All fabulous with layers of flavor that?s you must chew at least 120x so as not to miss a beat. And the bill came in the cutestlittle book. Thoughtful steps to keep me coming back! Read more

Hands down, the BEST vegan restaurant ever! My husband and I have been vegan since 2016 and have never found a restaurant that... really understands plant based cuisine, until now. The food was amazingly delicious and the service was wonderful. From theinviting ambience & decor, to the knowledgeable staff & decadent food, the owners of Ka Papa have perfected the vegan diningexperience. We started with French onion soup and baked feta appetizer. Both were out of this world! Then we had saffron risottostuffed tomato and plum miso glazed eggplant. Every bite was divine. We kept smiling at each other and laughing with gleebecause we couldn?t believe how good the food was. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, vegan or not. They willtake you on a mouthwatering journey that will leave you speechless! Thank you so much for making my 50th birthday dinner somemorable. I can?t wait to go back! Read more

A truly elevated experience! The atmosphere, the staff and the food all had so much attention to detail. High end vegan dining... at its finest, so so delicious! Their mushrooms are smoked out back and have a slight crunch that is so juicy and decadent.Also, squeeze in their "Cake of the day" it is heavenly! If you're Omni & passing by you should stop in too for a taste ofsomething wonderfully delicious. We'll be visiting again! Read more

This was our first time to Ka Papa. We dabble in veganism, and this is hands down the best vegan restaurant in Sarasota. The... watermelon with feta was so delicious- everything was fantastic. Tucker, our server was knowledgeable, courteous, attentive andvery friendly. We will definitely be back, can?t wait to try their other menu options. Read more

One of the best meals I?ve had in a very long time ???? every dish was incredible, the restaurant was beautifully decorated, the... mother/daughter duo behind it all were the sweetest ever, and even going to the bathroom was an experience thanks to a beautifuldesign and homemade salt scrub. You have to try Ka Papa whether you are vegan or not. The presentation, the flavors?I trulycannot say enough good things. We tried every appetizer, the grilled Caesar salad, both soups, and one of each dessert ? not onething was disappointing. We spent the entire meal thinking the chef must be French trained. Only to find out that these twoincredible women not only built/designed the majority of the restaurant by hand themselves, but are also self taught chefs. Mindblowing. Read more
