North Texas’ first fine-dining vegan concept was dreamed up by husband and wife duo and owners of Spiral Diner & Bakery, Amy McNutt and James M. Johnston. The much anticipated cruelty-free dining concept is the evolution of decades of investment in the vegan dining experience in Dallas/Fort Worth. Realized after many years of planning and reputation building in North Texas, Maiden is the third concept (along with Dreamboat Donuts & Scoops) opening in Spiral’s vegan stronghold in Fort Worth’s Near Southside District; this block at the corner of 6th and Magnolia Ave offers a cruelty-free choice for every palate from sweet treats and comfort food to elegant, exquisite cuisine.

Trailblazers, from their inception, the Spiral team has infused compassion, passion, and collaborative leadership to develop something entirely its own. Maiden is devoted to showcasing the plentiful possibilities of vegan ingredients and leads with the idea that vegan dining is limitless. Maiden: Fine Plants & Spirits will ceaselessly explore gastronomy using curiosity and a dedication to tender-hearted dining while pushing beyond the bounds of what people think is possible for conscious cuisine.

“Maiden is all about time. The time devoted to forging our beautiful space. The time to thoughtfully compose each course. The time you grant yourself as a guest to relax and relish the experience. And now, finally, it is time to present Maiden to the great state of Texas. I can hardly wait!”
