I'm not a huge fan of raw food, but I totally loved the raw enchilada, stacked with sprouts and creamy avocado! The raw nutballs and spaghetti - suspiciously made of zucchini, but disarmingly good - is also an amazing dish.

Just wishing the portion…More »

Check out the only meat-free Ethiopian restaurant in all of Toronto!

In 2010 alone, I hosted large vegetarian socials here a couple of times. On both occasions, Zeni - the owner - was amazingly good at accommodating anywhere between 20-30 people, even…More »

Every few weeks, our family and I make a lengthy drive from central Scarborough just to come here. This petite diner is well-lit, clean and polished, although seating is quite limited. Great taste, good selection and awesome service; the owner, an…More »

This narrow two-storey building near Welsley Station has a wonderful atmosphere, complimented by the aroma of freshly-ground coffee and the warm smiles of the friendly staff.  Over the years, I've brought friends and family, including my mother and…More »

In less than 6 months, three new vegan/vegetarian restaurants have opened up in Toronto.  Kale, located just 5 minutes north of Eglinton, definitely helps make uptown more friendly for herbivores.

Similar to Le Commensal near the Eaton Centre, Kale…More »

While I try hard to support vegetarian restaurants, I found my roti horribly bland. No thanks, I'll stick to what I can get in Scarborough.

The sweetest little place in Toronto that serves inexpensive vegan chow ... what's not to love?!

My favourite dinner dish is the BBQ platter - corn, mashed potatoes and roasted 'chicken'. The poutine is also bomb too!

Not only that, but the Toronto…More »

Over the years, Le Commensal has been a favourite place to go when I'm looking for a quiet place to have a heart-to-heart.  In the past, I've dined here before attending musicals at the Canon Theatre.  It's also a good place to stop if you're tired…More »

Let's be clear, Karine's does serve meat.  Therefore, this is not a vegan kitchen by any means. Aside from that blemish, their menu is decently priced and has lots of healthy options to choose from.  Karine's is located in a small food court within…More »

My family come probably come here once every month or two, as it's one of few Chinese vegetarian restaurants in Scarborough.  It's rare to see the place crowded, so you won't have to suffer waiting for a table if you come here on the weekends.

King's Cafe has been a staple in Kensington Market, and I visited recently after their long-awaited re-opening.  The interior is beautifully done, and very chic now.

About ten years ago, I had an appalling first encounter with south Indian cuisine.  I'd become so terribly biased and favoured only northern cuisine that, although I can cook from scratch dhal, bhindi masala and aloo ghobi, I didn't dare put a dosa…More »

Call us insane, but my sister and I drove all the way from Scarborough, fighting traffic across the 401 for nearly 45 minutes just to come here on a Saturday afternoon.  We probably spent more time on the road than sitting at Brar's.
