In Fort Laud for the day and I needed to get  lunch, I did a quick Vegan restaurant search and found this newly opened place. I decided to give it a go and ended having  such a memorable and enjoyable experience.
My little one and I walked up to the counter to look over the menu and order. The guy  (missed his name but, I believe he's one of the owners) couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. He answered all my questions and I could just feel his love and passion for plant based foods. After some dilberation I decided on the Fire cracker Kale salad, avocado toast to share with my 1 year old daughter and, for dessert, the  gf carrot cupcake.
I really enjoyed everything. The Kale salad was surprisingly large so I even had some to take home. I really liked the spicy dressing. The avocado toast was just perfect and my kid loved it. The carrot cupcake was so good that I bought another to take home.
Oh and another awesome part about eating there was how it has a community table. I loved chatting with everyone in the restaurant. This place has such a warm, loving, and positive energy, my only regret is that I don't live closer.
Every review I have read about them so far has been on point. What a great new place in Fort Lauderdale. My husband and I are "Trying" to eat healthier and although he has never been I am finally convincing him ti give it a shot. I had the GBK Burger and really enjoyed it. I wanted to go ofr dinner there tonight but they are only open during the day :( This will be one of my new spots and hopfully I can get my husband to join more. You should check this place out.
Review Source:Great new vegan spot in Fort Lauderdale. We had the Avocado Toast and GBK Burger and both were delicious, beautifully presented, and prepared in just a few minutes (we were starving and hate to wait!).
Really enjoyed meeting the owners & GM and would love to steal their light fixtures for our office! The decor is modern and the communal table is perfect for a lunch crowd.
Looking forward to lunching there often!
so happy to have a new vegan restaurant in fort lauderdale. south florida is lacking in vegan anything!
tried green bar during opening week. the location is great. the restaurant is GORGEOUS. the menu is small but the food is DELISH.
try the curry bowl, the lasagna and the gbk burger! all wonderful dishes! the bakery case wasn't installed yet when i visited so looking forward to trying those goodies on my next visit!
green bar and kitchen is most definitely worth the visit!
Finally I have found a vegan establishment that can compare to the vegan restaurants in the San Francisco bay area. Â Can you say vegan paradise? I think Green Bar is the closest we are going to get to vegan paradise while in South Florida.
     Only by chance did I find out about this place. One of my carnivorous yelp friends checked into Green Bar, but I think they checked in by mistake. Once  I saw the name Green Bar Kitchen on the Yelp check-in page I immediately decided to check it out the following day.
     I had to do some work on an annoying friends computer, who's place was in the vicinity of Green bar. So as soon as I left my friends place, I headed on over to Green Bar for lunch . This place is kind of hidden, it is deep within a plaza off SE 17 st. Once you see the  Waxy O'Connors Irish pub and eatery you make an immediate right into the plaza.
     As  I walked into Green Bar, my  pupils opened wide like a jaguar on the prowl. I could not believe what I was seeing, this could not possibly be what I think it is. Incredibly this place has a juice/smoothie bar <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FVTsE1r&s=b49558233e9a07a0fb094592affb6ba6fbfab4dccb6b05bc704a2518976dc144" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/VTsE1r</a>, vegan restaurant, vegan bakery (gluten free) <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FVTqb7k&s=db06c2cc4f32df393bce6d4cc233e7d2d1583077d6b400d73fb645766adb473e" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/VTqb7k</a> <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FVTtMCl&s=9bcdead260f3e35d485a56471e000a852627de3e26125e4f4aaa163e73474f09" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/VTtMCl</a>, and raw food entree's all in one establishment. They have cold pressed juices, cold organic beers/ wines and more. I had to rub my eyes, could this be true? They sold organic condiment sauces and other tasty edible items.
     They have a sample section for  sauces and drinks <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FVTpI51&s=35de3a0f078f6e285ca0d7eea9e7cd8d08f7b17c3ceb3e15aefdf2dfa517eefd" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/VTpI51</a>. There is also a station for free mint water along  with free almond, soy and coconut milk to add to your organic coffee <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FVTqvTC&s=0c7c62664679781511e045f7024fc2108b463a37a7df97d1f82ded41d27e40bc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/VTqvTC</a>.
    I love the interior of this place, it is chic yet has an organic flavor. There are many attractive plants placed on the tables and walls enhancing the aesthetics of the eating experience <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FVTmI8M&s=f875f9d2e403a3b1416d6b800ed4cda5d5a94405b90a3ed9fe2549690e51ab80" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/VTmI8M</a> <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FVTmL4r&s=77fbf722107fc33588c5676468d6a44afab97ba0a271fcfa7d90879c3cee2fe2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/VTmL4r</a> <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FVTmM8r&s=878b101c78e5dba5abd75fe6cc4cfed25d81d470d2bf4bef7cf8b1e11bc3e127" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/VTmM8r</a>. Each table also has a sea salt shaker and whole black pepper grinder. They also have a fenced in outdoor umbrella covered dining area <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FY5aMm9&s=a21ac79a0b3bdd5dcc660e191689da88a7380dc5be7022d7f136515114bfc9e8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/Y5aMm9</a> . The Feng Shui in this place is awesome.

    Recollecting myself I  then focused on what I was going to order. I decided on the Live Lasagne $12.00 <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FVTlbiY&s=1230af332a3fa649bce0d4e10bc0903a0dd2c33451275daec27645e605bdcf9b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/VTlbiY</a> and a Jamaican style ginger beer $2.50.  I also bought two vegan rice crispy squares (one of them was topped with mini chocolate kisses) to go for $2.00 a piece  <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FVTlCd9&s=6b2e500a19b49a7ccf91594faa70be3fd07f46ba24562165519d648bca9cf671" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/VTlCd9</a>. After ordering I asked the dude at the cash register how long they had been open, and he said about 1 week. I was surprised they have only been open for a week, they seem so well organized, like that had been open for a significant longer time than a week.
     The sun dried tomato marinara sauce and the macadamia ricotta melted in my mouth, they went perfect with the medium textured zucchini. The pesto just topped off what was already divine to the tongue. Both of the  rice crispy squares were sweet and delicious, the texture was pleasing to the palate, they were neither to soft or hard.
     The people here are super friendly, my hippy meter did not go off either. While I was eating, I was asked how my food was a couple of times by the workers. I was also offered samples of bakery  items.
     So it is a given, not only am I returning, I am returning frequently.
