“More about date night WOW full vegan and spectacular with obviously great wine and even better company,” Beckham wrote in an Instagram post.
Neither of the Beckhams are vegan, and Victoria reportedly eats fish regularly. But they previously limited eating meat from land animals in 2020. Meanwhile, their eldest son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham starred in an ad for dairy-free milk company Silk in 2023.
Plant-based fine dining
Beckham’s praise for the food at Eleven Madison Park is unsurprising. Located on Madison Avenue in New York City, the restaurant transitioned to an entirely plant-based menu in 2021. It had three Michelin stars prior to ditching animal products, and kept them after becoming plant-based. This made it the world’s first plant-based restaurant with three stars.
