Living Kitchen

"Food is a way of expressing gratitude." -Juliana Luna

Always Organic. 100% Plant-Based.

Ever feeling like you need a reset? Want a place that offers 100% organic and plant based food? You have found the right place with Charlotte's Living Kitchen.

Located in Historic South End, Living Kitchen is the perfect place to grab any meal or juice for your health needs. I could not have a #HealthyHighlight that did not include this Charlotte staple. I have personally eaten here multiple times and I am consistently blown away by the uniqueness.

At Living Kitchen they believe that preparing food is a labor of love and that health, beauty and art can be served on a plate.

My recommendations?

Appetizer: Sweet Potato Sushi Roll

Entrees: Pad Thai and the Living Burrito

Dessert: Turtle Cake

Food this good and fresh cannot be made with anything prepackaged. This means there are more than a few highly skilled hands involved in its preparation. You will see this reflected in the price, but no more so than other high-quality restaurants where meat, fish, and dairy are served.

If you are looking for something unique with big flavors, this is the place to be. Go see for yourself, you will not be disappointed.

"An organic, plant-based, and mostly raw restaurant was a completely foreign concept to most Charlotteans, however, in 2010 the response to the opening of Luna's Living Kitchen was mind-blowing. Juli's restaurant was, and continues to be, a thriving force in Charlotte's Historic South End where locals, foodies, vegans, the health-conscious, and even plant-based cuisine novices come to celebrate what this restaurant is doing. It's evident the moment you walk through the doors that you are going to experience food and juice concoctions that are teeming with enzymes, minerals, beauty and vitality - the space itself just speaks of life."
