Vegan Catering Services in Miami and South Florida
Miami Plate Catering cooks fully vegan menus for events in Miami and across South Florida, and adds vegan dishes to any other menu we offer. Vegan catering starts at $45 per guest with a minimum of 25 guests, and a coordinator sends your full quote within 24 hours.
- Fully vegan menus. Every dish on the buffet is plant-based, for a company lunch, a birthday or a private party where everyone eats the same food.
- Vegan dishes on any menu. A mixed group keeps the menu it prefers, and the vegan guests eat at the same table.
- From $45 per guest. The minimum is 25 guests, and events up to 50 guests add $10 per guest.
- Four hours of service. An extra hour is $5 per guest, and we prepare 10% more food than your guest count at no extra charge.
- Separate lines. The service charge and Florida sales tax appear on their own lines, so the total is clear before you pay a deposit.
Add every dietary need to your request, vegan or otherwise. A coordinator calls to go through the menu, the guest count and the venue, then sends your estimate. Delivery depends on your address and is shown in your quote.

Experience
Who Cooks and Serves Your Event
Our own team cooks and serves your event. We staff it by guest count, with about one team member for every 25 guests. The roles are a chef, an event coordinator, cooks and servers. The company has 10+ years in catering.
How we cook
- In our kitchen. We prepare the food in our licensed commercial kitchen in Aventura and deliver it in our own vehicles, from office lunches to yacht platters.
- On site. For grill and paella menus we finish the food at your venue using our own professional equipment.
- In your kitchen. For a private chef dinner, your chef cooks and serves in your kitchen, and groceries are included in the price.
Events our team has handled

We managed the catering logistics for four yachts on the same day, with yacht-safe packaging and delivery before each departure.

Ways to Serve Vegan Food at Your Event
Choose between two vegan catering options by who is coming. If every guest eats plant-based, order a fully vegan menu. If only some do, keep the menu the group prefers and add vegan dishes to it. Either way, your estimate lists each dish, so nobody has to guess at the buffet.
Fully Vegan Menu
The whole menu is plant-based, from $45 per guest with a minimum of 25 guests. Events under 50 guests add $10 per guest. It fits a birthday, a private party or an office event where the host wants one menu for everybody. For office events, see corporate catering in Miami.
Vegan Dishes on Another Menu
Vegan dishes can join any menu we cook, including BBQ, paella and party menus. The price step follows the menu you pick, and the estimate lists the vegan dishes you chose. Vegan and non-vegan guests share one buffet: tell us how many eat plant-based, and your coordinator plans the dishes with you. For party formats, see party catering in Miami.
Ideas to bring to the first call. Bring your own ideas to the first call, and the estimate confirms every dish and its ingredients:
- grain bowls with quinoa and roasted vegetables
- bean and rice dishes
- stuffed peppers or mushrooms
- tacos with plant-based fillings
- fruit trays and plant-based sweets

What a Vegan Catering Quote Includes
The price per guest covers the menu, cooking, service staff, buffet equipment, serving setup and cleanup. The service charge and sales tax come as separate lines, so you see the full cost of vegan catering in Miami before you pay a deposit.
Included in the price per guest:
- the vegan menu and its cooking
- service staff for four hours
- buffet equipment and serving setup
- cleanup of the event area, with leftovers packed if you want them
- 10% more food than your guest count
Added as separate lines:
- Service charge. 18% up to 100 guests, 15% for 101 to 200, 12% for 201 to 300 and 10% above 300. It is mandatory for events with our staff, covers staffing, setup and breakdown, and kitchen operations, and it is not a tip.
- Sales tax. Florida's 6% plus your county surtax of 0.5% to 1.5%.
- Extra service time. $5 per guest for each hour after the first four.
- Delivery. It depends on your address and is shown in your quote.
- Gratuity. Optional, and never added automatically.
Example: 80 guests × $45 = $3,600 before the service charge and sales tax. Larger events get $2 less per guest at each step of 100, 200 and 300+ guests. From Thanksgiving through New Year's Day the minimum doubles.
