The Vegan Marie — Local services in Miami

I recently dined at The Vegan Marie (TVM) in Little Haiti, and I am thrilled that I chose to go there. The restaurant has a cozy ambiance and a unique history, having been previously a thrift store before transforming into a restaurant a couple of years ago. You can tell that a lot of effort went into decorating the walls, which adds to the charm of the place.

I ordered the wild rice salad and a lemonade, and I was not disappointed. The food is made from scratch as ordered, and the portion size was generous for the price of $20 per plate, giving me the feeling of value for money. The wild rice salad was fresh and flavorful, with a variety of veggies which was delightful. I appreciated the simplicity and natural flavors of the dish, which showcased the high quality of the ingredients used. TVM takes pride in creating dishes that are fresh and authentic.

The lemonade was a refreshing treat, with a strong and tangy flavor of fresh ginger that added a pleasant kick to the drink. I appreciate that The Vegan Marie puts thought into incorporating health-conscious ingredients into their cultural foods, providing a unique twist to the flavors.

One of the highlights of my experience was speaking with one of the owners for a while. Despite having previously injured his foot, he initially tried to serve me, but eventually took it easy as he had someone to help. I sincerely hope his foot gets better soon. It was evident that the owners are passionate about their restaurant and take pride in their food and service, as well as their commitment to the community. TVM goes beyond just serving delicious food by hosting events in their backyard space, including poetry nights and Sunday drum circles, which demonstrate their care for fostering a sense of community. Additionally, I liked that they have herbs on-site for purchase, further showcasing their dedication to providing locally sourced and sustainable options.

Overall, I would definitely go back to TVM for their delicious food, friendly service, unique atmosphere, and their genuine care for the community. If you're looking for a vegan restaurant with good food in Little Haiti, this is definitely a place worth...

WOW!!! I could write a novel about our experience at The Vegan Marie but I’ll keep it short. My husband and I are huge foodies and we have eaten all around the world, and this is easily in the top 10 dining experiences we’ve ever had. Every moment from beginning to end was impeccable. Instantly, when you walk in, you feel like you’re in Haiti. The straw and island decor, the colors, the traditional sculptures and giant mortar & pestles, you feel so calm and relaxed. The vibes in there are fantastic! Emmanuel was a true example of amazing customer service and he made us feel right at home. The food is prepared fresh to order which is amazing, it gave us time to look around the store and more importantly talk and get to know the wonderful owner. We got soursop juices which were unlike anything we’ve ever had. The coconuts were impeccable and refreshing at the perfect ripeness. And then the FOOD!! 🤩

We couldn’t even wait to get home to try it because it looked so good. And it tasted EVEN BETTER! Such unique flavors unlike anything we’ve ever had. A hint of the perfect level of spiciness, sweetness, and flavor upon flavor! All while tasting super fresh, and feeling so great afterwards!! The salad was probably the best salad we ‘ve ever had. And for most restaurant, the salad on the side is an after thought. NOT HERE! The salad here deserves its own review that’s how amazing it is. And the way they pile on the ingredients and the flavors. You won’t find this anywhere else. Truly a GEM in Miami! Please never leave! We will always travel to come back to see you! Thank you to the lovely husband and wife owners who made our day!...

I’m so delighted we found Vegan Marie on the Happy Cow app.

This was one of the most delicious vegan meals I’ve had the pleasure of ever ordering. If you’re in Miami and looking for a healthy, wholesome, and TASTY meal - look no further.

The fresh juices are SO good! We even got to try some, which was such a treat!! We ordered the hot wrap and veggie balls with a veggie salad - and WOW! We were blown away by the flavor, you can really taste the love that was put into our meal. Our food not only delicious, but fresh and vibrant too!

The owners are caring, and such a joy to talk to. The customer service is top notch too. Overall, a lovely and perfect end to our day in Miami for a conference.

I wish I lived in the area so I could come here regularly. But I know I’ll be stopping by whenever I’m in Miami. If you’re in Miami, please, do yourself a favor and get something to eat at this vegan restaurant (even if you’re not a vegan, you need to try this place - you’ll see what I’m talking about!).
