1. Calico Cafe - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M6H 1M8
(416) 536-1883
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Vegan
Neighbourhoods: Brockton Village, Bloordale Village, Wallace Emerson
If I could give Calico more than 5 stars, I would. Hell, i'd marry the place if I could - or at least the kitchen staff.
I went back recently to try the dinner menu, after having such a spectacular brunch experience, and I was certainly not…More »

I am going to preface this with the statement that i've only been to Calico once, and that was only… Read more »
2. Fresh
Toronto, ON M5V 2L7
(416) 599-4442
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Vegan
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
Fresh is pretty much my favourite place to have a meal in Toronto, and has been since before I even moved here. A stunning array of food and drinks served without much wait, little to no pretention, at reasonable prices. Note: my review for the…More »
3. Fresh
Toronto, ON M6J 1G3
(416) 913-2720
Categories:
Vegan,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
See my general review here: http://www.yelp.com/re...
* Location note: this location's a bit off my radar now, although it was the first I ever visited when I was visiting Toronto. I think it's got a much nicer patio option than Spadina's…More »
4. Fresh
Toronto, ON M5S 1W5
(416) 531-2635
Category:
Vegetarian
Neighbourhoods: The Annex, University of Toronto, Downtown Core
See my general review here: http://www.yelp.ca/biz...
* Location note: Bloor tends to get much busier on weekends, but still turns tables around pretty well. The nicest bathrooms out of all the locations I think - a bit of a cramped waiting space for…More »
5. Panacea Eco Shop - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M6G 1K4
(647) 350-3269
Categories:
Men's Clothing,
Grocery,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Seaton Village
A stone's throw from the heart of the Annex, Panacea is pretty much a literal one-stop-shop for vegan goods and goodies. You don't know how lucky you are, Toronto!
Some other health food stores or supermarkets do carry a small crossover of products…More »
6. One Love Vegetarian
Toronto, ON M5R 3G3
(416) 535-5683
Categories:
Caribbean,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhoods: The Annex, Seaton Village
They say hindsight is 20/20 - well, if hindsight could also taste, it'd be kicking me right now for not trying this place when I lived just around the corner from it.
But no matter! I have finally fallen into their tasty trap; their warm and…More »
7. Sadie's Diner & Juice Bar
Toronto, ON M5V 1T5
(416) 777-2343
Categories:
Diners,
Vegetarian,
Juice Bars & Smoothies
Sadie's is the vegetarian or vegan's go-to diner in Toronto. Accept no substitute! Gloriously kitsch decor, friendly servers, and a great variety of customers makes this one of my favourite weekend-morning hangs for brunch.
I've tried a variety of…More »
8. Loving Hut
I've been back to Loving Hut a number of times since my initial review, tried a few new things and enjoyed it all. I have repeated the Pho experience, and it's well worth it - one of the best noodle soups i've had anywhere.
I even had enough room to…More »

9. Urban Herbivore
Toronto, ON M5T 1P1
(416) 927-1231
Categories:
Vegan,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
Hands-down my favourite place to get a custom salad in Toronto. I know they offer more, but every time I go i'm lured in by that gorgeous spread of ingredients waiting to be combined - sesame tempeh every time, baby. You get a good number of…More »
10. Vegetarian Haven
Toronto, ON M5T 1L1
(416) 621-3636
Category:
Vegetarian
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Let's cut to the chase - this place doesn't mess around with their desserts. Cake smoothies? Cookie smoothies? PIE SMOOTHIES? Oh be still my slowly becoming diabetic heart. If you're after something a little more traditional, they do stock the…More »
11. Hibiscus
Toronto, ON M5T 2L7
(416) 364-6183
Categories:
Vegan,
Vegetarian,
Gluten-Free
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
Hibiscus hits a spot that many little (or not so little) veg places around Toronto can't - a simple offering of healthy salads and soups, but also a great range of decadent crepes, dairy-free ice cream and baked treats (cookies, slices & the like).
I…More »
12. Camros Organic Eatery
Toronto, ON M4Y 2P2
(416) 960-0723
Categories:
Gluten-Free,
Vegetarian,
Persian/Iranian
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
I think the food here is the main pro (hearty, varied, flavourful), followed by the service (friendy and helpful). I was in about 45 minutes before close, so I don't think I had as much choice as a lunch crowd might - but the food was still pretty…More »
13. Le Commensal Fine Vegetarian Cuisine
Toronto, ON M5G 2K4
(416) 596-9364
Category:
Vegetarian
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Downtown Core
One of the main benefits of Le Commensal is the variety - they have a large buffet layout of salads, soups, mains and desserts. All of the food there is vegetarian and i'd hazard a guess that out of all of it at least 3/4 of it is vegan - and well…More »
14. M & B Yummy
Toronto, ON M6K 1L5
(416) 516-2798
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Ethiopian
Neighbourhood: Parkdale
M&B Yummy was my introduction to Ethiopian food, and I mostly enjoyed the tastes and experience. I went with a couple of friends and after back-and-forthing over the menu quite a bit due to feeling like we couldn't make an informed choice, the owner…More »
15. Udupi Palace
When I have a craving for Indian, I make a point of heading out to Udupi Palace to get my fill. I believe this is Toronto's only vegetarian Indian restaurant (please correct me if i'm wrong, i'm always looking for more!) and their menu selections…More »
16. Pulp Kitchen - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M4M 1L1
(416) 461-4612
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Juice Bars & Smoothies,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
I've known about Pulp Kitchen for ages and ages, and have only just recently (late August) made it to their new location to give them a try. It's easy to get to, and the light and airy decor make it a pleasure to sit in and eat. Unfortunately I found…More »
17. Magic Oven
This Magic Oven location is a nice compromise between fancy restaurant and diner-feel. The narrow, deep restaurant just across from Dupont subway station is pretty understated with its décor - it's clean and simple, some nice exposed brick walls and…More »
18. Rancho Relaxo
I definitely agree with Angela K, Rancho has a terrific and delicious range of vegetarian and vegan food. Even though they have a separate vegetarian section on their menu, most of what is in the rest of it can be veganised! There's soy sour cream…More »
19. Big Sushi
There's so many sushi places on Bloor - i've tried a couple of others like Sushi on Bloor and New Generation - but Big Sushi remains my go-to for fresh, value for money, quick food.
I can't speak to the seafood and other meat menu options, but there's…More »
20. Pizzaiolo
Of the various locations of Pizzaiolo i've been to downtown, this one has the nicest surrounds and the absolute freshest and most delicious slices. Don't know why this is, but it's a notch above (the already good) rest.
Pro-tip for the one weekend a…More »
21. Pizzaiolo
I can't remember how I found out that Pizzaiolo has vegan slices, but i'm going to just project a general thankful vibe out there for the fact! Not just one vegan slice - THREE! Take that and stuff it, Pizza Pizza.
There's a great healthy slice - the…More »
22. Lick's Homeburgers & Ice Cream
Toronto, ON M5S 2T9
(416) 920-8884
A step up from a Harvey's veggie burger, Lick's Nature Burger is a delicious pattie that lets you indulge in fast food with some taste. Like Harvey's, you can specify what you want toppings-wise on your burger, and the selection is usually pretty…More »
23. Big Fat Burrito
Toronto, ON M5T 2M1
(416) 913-7487
If you like your burritos big, fat and now, you've come to the right place. Despite their constant stream of customers, the staff at Big Fat Burrito still churn out quality product in pretty good time - although the lineup can get a little crazy,…More »
24. Big Fat Burrito
My opinion of the food at this location goes along with my review of the Kensington Market location. I just wanted to make a special note about the staff at this takeaway-only BFB. I've dropped in here late night to grab a post-drink burrito and each…More »
25. Poutini's House of Poutine
Toronto, ON M6J 1H9
Categories:
Fast Food,
Poutineries
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Beaconsfield Village
Decided to wander out Queen West to finally try the vegan poutine option at Poutini's, and was quite happy. Their chips are of good quality, and the gravy's delicious - not too thick, spiced just right. Their use of Daiya vegan cheese is what makes…More »
26. Moe's Southwest Grill - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M4P 1A1
(416) 489-6637
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant and Davisville, Yonge and Eglinton
If you're uptown and after tex-mex, i'd head for Moe's. It's pretty no-nonsense, it's in a good location, and you can sit in and loiter after you finish your meal.
I've tried their tacos and burritos, both of which i've gone the vegetarian option for…More »
27. Green Earth Vegetarian Cuisine
Toronto, ON M4K 2M7
(416) 778-9199
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Vegan
Neighbourhood: Riverdale
Anywhere that decides to make banana spring rolls and serve it up with a nice scoop of choc-chip soy ice cream is just fine by me! And the more I eat, the closer in size I become to a Green Earth.. (Especially thanks to the irressistable crispy…More »
28. CrudaCafe
Toronto, ON M5E 1C4
(647) 346-6502
Categories:
Live/Raw Food,
Vegan
Neighbourhoods: Corktown, St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
Throw out any ideas you have about snacking on carrot sticks and gnawing on trail mix as a concession to raw food, because Cruda is definitely a raw taste sensation!
They're tucked away in the basement of the St Lawrence Market, but the couple of…More »
29. E L Ruddy Co Cafe
Toronto, ON M6J 1Y3
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Coffee & Tea,
Vegan
Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Beaconsfield Village
E.L. Ruddy is absolutely charming - I dare you to walk in the door and not gasp at its adorableness!
This cosy cafe out on Dundas West feels a little out of the way, but it's well worth the visit. From the mismatched vintage furniture and sugar pots…More »
30. Loving Hut
Toronto, ON M5V 2L4
(647) 351-7618
Categories:
Vegan,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
I was excited to hear that a downtown location of Loving Hut had opened - i've been enjoying the food at the Eglinton location for many months now without disappointment.
You will find the same inoffensive decor here, as well as the same TVs showing…More »
31. Cafe 668
Toronto, ON M6J 1V9
(416) 703-0668
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Trinity Bellwoods
Considering the other reviews, I guess i've been lucky with the couple of visits i've had to Cafe 668. Both my visits (to their new location further west on Dundas) have been weekday evenings when the restaurant's been quiet, so service has been…More »
32. Ali Baba's Middle Eastern Cuisine
Felafels are amazingly tasty as in other locations, & the felafel sandwich is a great quick lunch option that's full of deliciousness and flavour. Handy to Y&D Square, Ryerson university.
More like a 3.5 because of the layout of the place (it can get…More »
33. Bunner's
Toronto, ON M6P 1Z7
(647) 352-2975
Categories:
Gluten-Free,
Vegan,
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: The Junction
These are the best professional gluten free tasty treats i've had outside of Babycakes NYC/LA. Bunners are pretty new in Toronto, and i've only popped in a couple of times, but they have certainly made an impression.
Bunners primarily cater to the…More »
34. Hot Beans
Toronto, ON M5T 3K7
(647) 352-7581
Category:
Vegan
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
Holy Hot Beans, Batman! Toronto's latest vegan haunt is rocking some serious taste mojo. They've been open barely a week now, but having even only been there once, I wish they'd ALWAYS bean here. (Oh yes.)
Toronto's got some fairly decent vegan…More »
35. Burrito Bandidos
Soupy burrito sadness! I had the sloppiest burrito i've ever experienced at Burrito Bandidos recently. I opted for a whole wheat tortilla TVP veggie burrito (sans cheese/sour cream), and it was just a hot, wet mess. Barely flavourful, either. I've…More »
36. Basha Middle Eastern Grill
Toronto, ON M4Y 2A6
(416) 944-2953
Category:
Middle Eastern
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Incredibly tasty spot for a Middle Eastern snack in the Yonge/Bloor area. So incredibly tasty you'll be mumbling "ohmygoshwhatisgoingonTHISISSO GOOD" with each bite. Basha fries must be cut with crack cocaine, because you're likely to inhale a…More »
37. YoYo's Yogurt Cafe
Toronto, ON M5S 1X6
(647) 346-2917
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
YoYo's is tucked away in a slightly awkward spot at Spadina/Bloor, but worth dropping in for a treat. Scoot on inside and you'll find yourself in a colourful little froyo cafe with a little seating and some friendly staff.
They have quite a lot of…More »
38. Disgraceland
Toronto, ON M6H 1L7
(647) 347-5263
Categories:
Pubs,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Dovercourt
There's something to be said about a solid dive bar. No pretenses, just grab a seat anywhere and chow down/chug drinks. Disgraceland is a dive bar that is comfortable over grungy, and has pretty decent service over having ambivalent hipsters ignore…More »
39. B.B.Ques
Toronto, ON M5S 2H7
(416) 323-3663
Cheap but not nasty, BBQues hits the spot as far as fast-food quick snacks go. I can get a veggie dog with a nice range of toppings, plus fries (I always opt for the delicious wedge-cut ones) for under $5 with change to spare. There's also a veggie…More »
40. Urban Herbivore
It's so WEIRD that there's a vegan place in a massive mall food court in downtown Toronto. So weird! But it's pretty awesome being able to get a proper bite to eat while flailing about through the masses of shoppers and loitering teens.
The basics on…More »
