[+] Zen Palate • Vegetarian • 663 Ninth Ave. • New York • 212-582-1669 • Map

Since 1991, with the belief that great health, great taste and a great dining experience can all be obtained at the same time, Zen Palate has been devoutly and honorably serving the New York community with our fusion vegetarian fare. More than just a vegetarian restaurant, Zen Palate is a holistic experience whose actions are focused on respect for health, people and the environment. With the highest standards of social responsibility, we aim to be a positive influence on customers, communities, partners and our natural environments.

The name Zen Palate is derived from the Japanese word Zen, meaning "sudden enlightenment," and the French word Palate, meaning "sense of taste." Our goal is to enlighten our customers through their sense of taste by offering delicious, vibrant, freshly prepared and beautifully presented vegetarian dishes, served by our passionate servers in a tranquil and modern environment. For over 16 years we have insisted on using the freshest and highest quality vegetarian ingredients (which covers more than 60 different plants and flowers from various culinary cultures!) prepared by our expertly trained chefs.

Our unique menu is rooted in authentic Zen temple cuisine that traces back over 1,400 years to China ' s Buddhist temples located in the mountains filled with wild vegetables, medicinal herbs and flavorful spices. The monks in these temples sought to attain enlightenment not only through meditation, studying scripture and intuitive, koan-styled teachings but also through artistic pursuits, local farming and by following a vegetarian lifestyle. It was from this Zen spirit of seeking perfection that these dedicated spiritual practitioners developed the highly sophisticated and versatile vegetarian culinary art that gave birth to a multitude of delicate plant proteins and meat substitutes such as tofu, seitan (wheat gluten) and tempeh (fermented soy patties).

Today, Zen Palate continues in the temple culinary tradition of developing divine and appetizing vegetarian foods while also incorporating other diverse styles from around the world such as Indian, Malaysian, Mexican and Italian, coupled with our rejuvenating beverages and sumptuous desserts. We feel blessed to have this opportunity to serve you and present you with our delicacies, and we hope you will visit us soon at one of our locations in New York or New Jersey.
