Seasoned Vegan

Description

Specialties
Seasoned Vegan is a family business owned and operated by mother and son, Brenda and Aaron Beener. We pride ourselves on being loyal to our vegan/vegetarian customers by maintaining an organic, 100% vegan menu while creating meals that are delicious enough to satisfy the most skeptical omnivore. Our restaurant specializes in preparing a very unique type of cuisine: gourmet vegan soul food. We use the term soul food loosely because we are not referring exclusively to the typical cuisine of the Southern region of the United States. For us, soul food is any meal prepared by a chef who not only includes flavorful ingredients but also infuses tender love and care. With that as a founding theme, Seasoned Vegan gives typical Italian, Asian, Middle Eastern, Caribbean and American dishes a vegan, home cooked, soulful twist. Restaurant is closed from 3pm-5pm Mon – Fri. No Break on Weekends

History
Established in 2014.

As a daughter, wife and mother, Chef Brenda has always wanted to express love for her family through her cuisine. This love can be found in every item on Seasoned Vegan’s diverse menu. Chef Brenda has spent the last 30 years researching, cooking, and perfecting the balance between diet and decadence. With her leadership, Seasoned Vegan is committed to fusing soulful, culinary expression with the benefits of veganism. We believe her mastery of this balance is what sets Seasoned Vegan apart from the influx of trendy, healthy eating establishments.

Business Owner

Ms. Brenda has been cooking vegan food for her family for over 20 years and she recently took the advice of her family and friends by opening the first full-service vegan restaurant in Harlem. Even before the grand opening on May 3, 2014, Ms. Brenda had a dream to bring healthy, affordable food to the community that raised her and her children. She wanted to show that an historically underserved community like Harlem would embrace healthy eating, and that it could be done without alienating those same people by pricing them out.
