Nourish your body with plant-based supremacy at the standout vegan and veggie-friendly spots scattered throughout Three Lakes, a calm, lake-woven neighborhood in South Dade.

Build a healthy routine around slow mornings, easy afternoons, and mindful bites as you lean into your plant-loving side and discover satisfying meat-free dining experiences in and around Three Lakes, a master-planned suburban pocket designed around calm, scenic residential living.

Created as part of South Miami-Dade's newer suburban expansion and known for its trio of intentionally arranged communities, Deerwood, Bonita Lakes, and the namesake Three Lakes, Three Lakes offers a quiet backdrop of water views, pocket parks, and relaxed corners that make it feel pleasantly removed from Miami's usual buzz — the perfect canvas for clean, plant-forward eating.

In fact, this charming slice offers a selection of local eateries, grab-and-go kitchens, and globally inspired spots serving vegan-friendly plates, in a location minutes from other dining scenes peppered across Miami-Dade.

And no, this isn't a roundup of bland salads or "diet food" pretending to be satisfying, trust us!

Here are the top five vegan restaurants in Three Lakes.

1) Carrot Express

13550 SW 120th St #418, Miami, FL 33186

Say "diet food, who?" the moment you take a bite at Carrot Express, your haven for plant-forward comfort and guilt-free meals right in Three Lakes.

This Miami-grown staple takes a fresher, heartier approach to healthy eating, with nutritious bowls, wraps, salads, toasts, and grain-packed plates that never feel restrictive. 

Even better, most items are already vegan or can be made vegan with simple swaps, making Carrot Express a go-to for clean and meat-free meals.

First time trying Carrot Express? Try the Supergreen Bowl, loaded with bright greens and grains for an energizing mix, and the Vegan Lentil Bowl, which brings a savory, slow-cooked depth you wouldn't expect from a fast-food spot. 

For something lighter, their smoothies and acai bowls are chilled, refreshing options you can grab anytime.

With generous portions, vibrant ingredients, and a menu that keeps plant-based eating interesting, Carrot Express is a healthy and flavorful saving grace for vegans who have been settling for bland.

2) Zaytona Grill

12388 SW 127th Ave, Miami, FL 33186

Ready for something fresh off the grill with the aroma of herbs, citrus, and warm spices trailing behind it? Then say hello to Zaytona Grill, your slice of the Mediterranean in the heart of Three Lakes.

Offering warm, homestyle cooking, where you'll find plates filled with char-grilled proteins, roasted vegetables, fluffy rice, and dips that taste like they came straight out of a family kitchen, Zaytona Grill's menu is broad, comforting, and packed with flavor and all the Mediterranean staples: juicy kabobs, shawarma carved to order, falafel with that perfect crisp-to-soft ratio, creamy hummus, and salads brightened with parsley, lemon, and olive oil. 

Vegan diners get plenty of culinary wins too, thanks to Zaytona Grill's falafel platters, hummus bowls, tabbouleh, and grilled veggie plates.

Hearty, vibrant, and rooted in authentic Mediterranean flavor — this is Zaytona Grill, your gateway to plant-forward plates with personality.

3) First Watch

12075 SW 152nd St, Miami, FL 33177

Wake up to mornings with breakfast made from scratch and wholesome ingredients at First Watch, your delicious reset in Three Lakes.

A champion of seasonal produce, bright flavors, and filling meals that won't put a dent in your diet, First Watch is a wonderland for all breakfast lovers, even for vegans looking for breakfast or brunch options that fit their preferences.

Start on the sweet side with the AM Superfoods Bowl, a chia pudding layered with bananas, berries, granola, and coconut milk — it's simple, creamy, nutritious, and indulgent at once. 

If you prefer something savory, their Avocado Toast offers thick whole-grain bread, olive oil, lemon, and sea salt — ask for it without the egg to keep it vegan.

Want something to sip in between bites? Their cold-pressed juices are a standout, especially the Kale Tonic and Morning Meditation, blended fresh and packed with fruits, veggies, and roots to boost your day.

With a bright dining room, naturally calm atmosphere, and a menu that caters to food lovers of all diets, First Watch gives vegans a refreshing way to ease into the day—no stress, no fuss, just good food and good energy.

4) Green Apple Kendall

15160 SW 136th St, Miami, FL 33196

If you like your meals warm, vegan-friendly, and made by people who genuinely care, look to Green Apple Kendall, just 5 minutes from Three Lakes.

Armed with a menu of quinoa arepas, vegan "chicken" paninis layered with plant-based mozzarella, and wraps loaded with veggies and grains, Green Apple Kendall offers comforting flavors, hearty portions, and that "homegrown local shop" touch that keeps patrons coming back.

Mind you, they're all made from scratch and served fast, so feel free to grab yours after a workout or between errands without the long lines and jampacked crowds.

Their meals are also best served with smoothies, fresh juices, and crisp salads, so don't forget to order yours!

5) Diced- Country Walk

15467 SW 137th Ave, Miami, FL 33177

Hungry but not in the mood for anything heavy? Slide into Diced—just 7 minutes from Three Lakes—and build a vegan bowl that tastes like something you'd make on your best day in the kitchen.

At Diced, you walk in, point to what you want, and watch your bowl come to life piece by piece, from the base to the protein, toppings, and dressing that ties it all together.

It's fast, fun, and it guarantees you get exactly the combo you're craving.

We're talking about quinoa layered with black beans, roasted veggies, and tofu, all drizzled with their fan-favorite vegan cilantro-lime dressing, all tossed together in a bowl or wrapped up to-go — and that's just a preview!

Orders are made on the spot, which means your bowl comes out crisp, colorful, and packed with fresh textures. 

And if you want something extra, their smoothies and cold-pressed juices add a refreshing finish without overwhelming your meal.

Fast, flexible, and never bland — Diced is the build-your-own moment you're waiting for, you know, minus the waiting part.
