“ I don’t normally eat vegan and I eat here every time I come to Atlanta. Inspired dishes. Local ingredients. Great atmosphere. Fantastic cocktails. Friendly service. Good vibes all around. My favorite go to’s are the chochoyotes & lions mane bistec! ”
“ As a selective vegan visiting from NYC— this is my favorite restaurant in Atlanta. The food is excellent, creative, and so flavorful. But the people working here make this place truly special. The host is always so kind, cool and accommodating whenever I come in... I’ve already eaten here three times in less than a month. Our server Angelica was (amazing!) so knowledgeable and kind, she helped us to order perfectly. The chef stopped by our table which I appreciated, he gave us great insight about the food and recommendations. Even the runner was kind and inquisitive. This is quality service. Coming from NYC fine dining— this warms my heart. We had delicious sumo orange seamoss agua frescas, the fried lions mane mushroom appetizer (superb, perfectly spicy), the yuca con queso, the queso appetizer, mantequilla beans, Cuban sandwich, lionsmane steak entree, maduros, and empanada for dessert. Wow... thoroughly impressed. I have not been able to find a vegan restaurant in ATL with this level of creativity and vibe. Looking forward to becoming a regular here. ...and they have triple filtered water Non vegans and vegans alike will love it here. ”
“ This was our first experience at La Semilla and we cannot wait to go back. We were celebrating my partner's birthday and it was a fantastic experience. We had a small miscommunication with our drink order that was immediately corrected and it meant I was gifted two aqua Chiles for the price of one. We also got a free dessert at the end for my partner's birthday. In between, we enjoyed the yuca con queso, the crunchwrap and the Cuban sandwich (with a side of black beans). Everything was great, and we look forward to exploring the menu further on future trips. This was easily my favorite vegan restaurant I've ever been in (I am not a vegan myself - I eat fish and fowl). I would happily choose La Semilla over other options, vegan or otherwise. ”
“ Officially one of my favorite restaurants. This place has been on my list for a while and we finally went. I’m vegan and my partner isn’t but we both LOVED this place. All of the staff are not only friendly and attentive but also just very chill and personable. Good vibes. We got the croquettas de jamon (don’t expect them to taste ham-y but they are very very good - squeeze some lime over them and it takes it to an entirely different level), the queso blanco (it doesn’t taste like non-vegan queso but it was good - I can see a non-vegan disliking it though), the cubano (bruh - insane. It is made with jackfruit and seitan which are two of my least favorite meat substitutes but you wouldn’t be able to tell. My nonvegan partner who is very particular when it comes to vegan meats said it tasted like it wasn’t vegan meat at all - it was BOMB), the crunchwrap (not pictured but trust me when I say it tastes better than it looks. It looked underwhelming to us but then we tried it and its actual super good and the sour cream is done sooooo well), the bistec de palomilla (I. N. S. A. N. E. The flavors were balanced so incredibly well, each component was done perfectly and having it all together makes the perfect bite. We were very very impressed), and the apple empanada (way too much rosemary. Loved the concept tho. I think it would have been great if there wasn’t so much rosemary - not sure if it was accidentally overdone that night or if thats how it always is. Id possibly try it again just to see if it was an error lol). Top two choices: bistec de palomilla and cubano. Honestly tho, get it all lol oh and tip: make a reservation. Without one, the wait will be a lifetime. We got lucky and were able to sit outside (they have heaters) but inside was a 2 hour wait without a reservation. So def make one. UPDATE: went a second time and tried some other dishes. Once again, amazing. Tried to enmoladas verdes (delicious enchilada-esque situation), the masa fried mushrooms (its like chicken-friend mushrooms and gravy - frickin amazing and has been added to my Top Favs list for this spot), and the strawberry tres leches (it was okay - not really a tres leches and it’s quite dense. It’s good, just not great). Also had the croquetas again but this time they didn’t taste great. Not sure what happened. But yeah overall awesome lil date :) ”
“ Great first experience at LA Semilla. Sloan was a great table host. She recommended the Masa Fried Mushrooms and the Cubano sandwich. I absolutely LOVED every bite of the Cubano. The mushrooms were good but lion's mane does have a slight finishy taste which threw me off but I still want to try the Bistec de Palomilla. ”
“ Absolutely incredible vegan spot across from the Eastern. The queso is on another level and I still can’t get over how delicious it really is. I can’t believe it’s dairy-free! Some of the dishes are a little spicy but honestly awesome. The concept is like tapas but with Latin food. Will def be back! ”
“ All I can say is Wow!!! The food, atmosphere, service, everything about it was perfect. Our waitress D gave us top notch service. She had great recommendations and amazing energy. We ordered the Yucca con Queso, Cubarito, Cubano, and the Bistec de Palomilla, and let me tell you every bite was amazingggggg definitely looking forward to the next visit ”
“ La Semila is a beautiful addition to Atlanta! Delicious, vegan food. Cocktails are out of this world. The service has always been spot on. My favorites are the Yuca Con Queso, Masa Fried Mushrooms, Blistered Carrots, their take on a Crunch Wrap, and the Carne Asada Tacos rocked my world last night. The flavors were insane also, the Beach Bunny cocktail Highly recommend! ”
