First stop: Pura Vita in West Hollywood, the nation’s top 100% plant-based Italian restaurant and wine bar. Created by celebrated chef Tara Punzone, this multiple award-winning dining spot serves up authentic Southern Italian dishes with a healthy, sustainable twist. From handcrafted Neapolitan pizzas to rich pastas and organic wines, every bite honors Tara’s 30-year commitment to vegan living and culinary excellence. It’s no wonder Pura Vita has earned titles like Best Vegan Italian Restaurant and Chef of the Year. Check out the menu at https://puravitalosangeles.com.

Next, Nemanja and Joanne head to Hey, Sunshine Kitchen in Culver City, where sisters Heather and Jenny are on a mission to help guests “shine from the inside out.” Former founders of a popular vegan cooking school, these two passionate foodies now run one of LA’s most beloved new plant-based spots. Opened in 2023, Hey, Sunshine Kitchen dishes up vibrant, nutrient-packed meals made with organic, non-GMO ingredients—perfect for those looking to nourish both body and soul.
