Fruitive is a chain of fast-casual plant-based restaurants located in coastal Virginia and Washington D.C. Unlike many vegan/organic/plant-based restaurants, Fruitive serves up a variety of dishes not trying to imitate meat-based dishes (no vegan burgers on the menu). Anyone else ready to have some carrots for lunch?
