Garden to Grill

The Plum Cafe & Bakery, midtown's all-vegan restaurant, recently changed its name to Garden to Grill. I stopped by for lunch a couple of times recently to see if there have been any changes besides the name. Those of you who have enjoyed the plant-based cuisine at the Plum Cafe for years will be happy to know the menu is still the same; the purpose of the name change is simply to highlight the restaurant's farm-to-table philosophy.


I ordered the Tempeh Reuben, which has received rave reviews from local vegans. It consists of tempeh bacon, avocado, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing, and pickles, served on rye bread and with a side salad. The sandwich was very tasty, and I can see why it's a Garden to Grill favorite. I followed it up with a yummy carrot cupcake.






On my next visit, I ordered the Gardein Breaded "Chicken" Strip appetizer with ranch dressing. I'm not usually a big fan of faux meats, but I liked this well enough that I thought about ordering seconds. After much deliberation, I decided to have a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter frosting instead.






Garden to Grill also serves breakfast, including a weekend brunch buffet. I've got to give that a try one of these days!

    Got the nachos the first time and they were AMAZING...but the tempeh Rueben was disappointing. First, they said they ran out of Sauerkraut...ok, fine, I'll take it without. The tempeh was WAY too salty and tasted like it had too much Braggs added to it. I've had much better tempeh Ruebens, just not in Sacramento. I will definitely be going back to G2G, just not for the tempeh.

    I agree that they have a real problem with the consistency of their food quality. Glad you liked the nachos.

    You're right, Linda -- I need to go through my old posts and update the ones that have closed or moved!
