At Wildseed, a plant-based restaurant and bar by Adriano Paganini, we believe that eating seasonally is the right thing to do because it makes a difference in the way your food tastes and how you feel. Working exclusively with N California’s freshest and most seasonal produce, Wildseed serves up hearty, healthy and satisfying meals that pull in global flavors and techniques alongside creative cocktails, local beer, and local, vegan, organic and biodynamic wines.
Wildseed offers guests a chance to make a better choice – a place where you can feel good about the decisions you are making. With a full-bar that is also driven by the philosophy of using fresh, sustainable and seasonal ingredients in its cocktails, Wildseed is well suited for hosting groups large and small for snacks and drinks at happy hour, or a full meal throughout the day.

    I used to like Wild Seed a lot. But the menu has slipped. Some of the best things are no longer on the menu and the seasonal items were very lack luster. Service has also fallen off. The servers left a huge empty appetizer platter on our table after bringing the main course. Didn't bother removing anything, so none of us could actually fit our main plates fully on the table. We thought it was just a momentary thing. But they came, dropped the food, and never looked back. We ended up piling everything we could in the middle and ultimately bussed it ourselves a while later. Sad because I did really enjoy this place for a long while.

    The menu is so inventive and would easily please meat eaters. Choose family style! Mezze appetizer has super tasty bits for everyone: red pepper hummus, mildly spicy eggplant (like a babaganoush), vegan feta w/chimichurri (can’t believe it’s not dairy!), salad w/quinoa, and light flatbread —plenty shareable for 3; curried chickpea tartine—delightfully yummy savory with a bit of sweet (sultanas) on artisan bread, and, bonus, thick cut potato chips (a surprise hit - dip into mezze hummus and eggplant). The pizza was so good with “sausage”, garlic, and peas. (Leftover pizza was delicious.) Wow. Menu also has a variety of non-alcoholic choices: charcoal lemonade (yes, it’s black but tastes just like lemonade) and a spicy non-alcohol pineapple margarita. Service is terrific. Very attentive and welcoming.

    We went for a special occasion and were very disappointed. On the dinner menu there is tons of gluten free things but the brunch menu there was almost nothing. Everything either contained gluten or had cross contamination. Then we ordered cheese cake to go, which was already made, and it still took 20 minutes to get to us.

    WildSeed in Palo Alto is a consistently excellent plant-based restaurant that serves delicious food for weekend brunch, lunch and dinner. There is a good selection of wines, non-alcoholic drinks and cocktails. Serving sizes are generous and quality is high. Service is always friendly and prompt. The outdoor seating area is lovely. We are regular happy customers. Favorite dishes include the mezze plate, spicy cucumbers, curried cauliflower, wildseed scramble, chilaquiles, English pea and ricotta ravioli, and the Impossible burger.

    The patio is amazing. Indoors was too loud. Luckily we were able to switch to an outdoor table.
