“Had a wonderful time hosting our end of year social! The manager, Tom, was a dream to work with for our large group. Great menu items - loved the calamari, french fries, sweet potato fries, garlic bread, spinach dip and wings. Teegan was an attentive and friendly bartender.“

“I recently had the pleasure of trying this place and it definitely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, with friendly staff that made me feel right at home. The pizza itself was phenomenal — perfectly crispy crust, fresh ingredients, and just the right amount of cheese and sauce. The portions were generous, and I left feeling completely satisfied. Whether you’re a fan of classic toppings or adventurous combinations, there’s something for everyone here. I can’t wait to return for another slice — highly recommend!“

“Hate that I found this place because I will only want to eat here from now on. Loved the food options and look forward to try new things in the menu. We tried the bang bang broccoli, cauliflower wings, tuna sushi roll, summer rolls, and the pasta. All delicious. Service is the best I’ve in experienced in Toronto. Atmosphere is clean and calming.“

“excellent food , service and staff. My friends and I were served by Miss Grace Zhou again this afternoon. It is my friends first visits, and they really enjoys the food and the loved services from Grace and everyone. We are planning to come back again already“

“Very spicy, I feel like I lost two pounds after eating it lol😆“

“We had the tasting menu and it was fantastic!
(I have been here before - for a sandwich at lunch, for a meal when we just ordered a couple of dishes from the menu.)
We were a small group, some chose to do a wine pairing, some didn't. Very attentive staff, obviously knowledgeable of the menu and ingredients, and we enjoyed the stories and passion that was obvious as the sommelier described the wines. Great opportunity to experience new plants and new flavour combinations. My taste buds were so happy.
Really good service. I look forward to my next visit.“

“Delicious vegan Caribbean food in the heart of Kensington Market. Veggie D'light hits the spot for lunch on a weekend. I had their meal with jerk saitan, veggies and basmati/quinoa. I asked about the soup of the day and was promptly offered a taste by the friendly chef. Had the medium soup as well--a delicious rich soup with yams and coconut milk. Now I have a new favorite lunch spot.“

“If you prefer healthy and delicious food this is the place! I had a goddess bowl and quinoa onion rings and they were fantastic! Definitely a come back!

Vegetarian options: Mostly plant based

Dietary restrictions: Have many gluten free options“

“Delicious food, excellent service, very cool atmosphere. I‘m not exactly the type that can afford a regular night out here but every scattered visit is truly a highlight!“

“Good Caribbean/Ethiopian restaurant and grocery store on the Danforth. It’s easy to walk by and miss this restaurant, thinking it’s only a grocery store. It’s also easy to walk in and only see a grocery store. They have a small menu with delicious vegan items. I recommend the Injera Thali Plate There is only one table inside and the inside doesn’t have a comfortable dining atmosphere. Takeout is recommended. The staff is very kind and brought us Avocado tea after our meal. Parking is available on the street and in a nearby Green P lot.“

“Accommodated allergies and dietary restrictions without compromising flavour. Really inventive and delicious menu -- every dish was a standout. One of the best meals I've had in Toronto in a long time.“

“Ital Vital is an absolute must! I had them cater for an event and am beyond happy with how it went! The food was so amazing! We had so many delicious options and everyone loved it. The plant-based bbq spare rib was a crowd favourite! The chef and owner, Arnold, is so kind and generous. The customer service experience was incredible. It was such a pleasure having Ital Vital cater to us and I can’t wait to call them back soon!“

“So many great options and delicious food, especially for vegans and vegetarians. Staff were friendly and seating is nice.“

“Really appreciate having a reliable and delicious all-vegan restaurant in downtown Toronto. I’ve tried several of their wraps and bowls and find them all to be delicious.

Their Happy Hour menu is also a convenient way to save money on snacks and drinks (the Big Green Smoothie in particular is a fave).“

“The lady serving us was really friendly. The vibe was cool and cosy (good playlist too). We got a range of dishes, including the Southern Combo, the Reuben, and the soy wings. All were delicious. Enough stuff for the vegetarians in the group who aren’t overly fond of vegan cheese. All round great spot would recommend!“

“From the moment we arrived, the team delivered warm, polished, and attentive service. The Wagyu was unbelievably tender and richly flavored; the lobster arrived fresh. Every course arrived at just the right pace, allowing us to fully enjoy each bite. Though elegant, the dining room felt inviting—not stuffy. Overall, the services and environment was much more impressive than the foods.“

“Great food, great drinks, great prices, and great service. Will definitely be going back next time I'm in Toronto!“

“They offer a great deal of heathy options to choose from. I go there often to pick up my favourite juice which is the Heartbeat- it’s a refreshing juice blend of apple, carrot, beetroot and lemon. What I love is that they offer a wide selection of snack options alongside juices/smoothies. It is very pocket friendly and guilt-free with options starting as low as $5 if you go during happy hours!“

“Amazing chef’s tasting and attentive staff!“

“evarthing is good service very good“

Wonderful chocolate in so many great creations and flavours... handpainted chocolate boxes, chocolate dipped treats, amazing ice cream, real hot chocolate, and a drool-worthy case of incredible little bombshell desserts. Plus, friendly, easy-going, helpful staff. So... yeah, I recommend!“

“This is my favourite place! I always order P10 - Vegan Pho and the vegan crispy spring rolls. The food is always delicious. The staff are friendly. I order from Uber eats often as well and it's the same quality, lots of veggies/tofu and noodles.“

“Still my favourite neighbourhood sushi resto. Small, sweet and very well done.“

“Thank you guys for a amazing meal! ❤️❤️ we will be back again shortly for sure . Cheers !“

“Amazing vegan burger! Was a lot better than I expected! Love that secret sauce“

“Grey Gardens is a marker in Toronto for me - the place I want to take friends to for a celebratory meal and where I want to retreat when I feel like a solo date, sitting at the chef’s counter.
It is rare for any restaurant to have survived the past few years intact, it is another thing entirely for one to have maintained the consistency that GG has.
On this occasion, my sisters and I wanted to celebrate the fact that all our birthdays happen to be in August. Farhad, our server, was a delight and it was our collective joy to discover that we all hail from Bombay. The perfect recommendations for wine to go with our food selections. The stand-outs - spaghetti with duck, fennel and parm, the scallop crudo with chicken fat, shrimp toast, caraflex (perfection) and the blueberry galette with corn ice cream.
Farhad brought us an extra strawberry gelato so we would have three desserts, each with a candle. And a special glass of amaro as a post-dinner digestif.
Exceptional food (and great value!!) that just makes you happy to be out on a late summer’s evening and service that makes you want to come back, again and again. Grey Gardens, you will always be famous (to me).“

“Wonderful lunch experience with @Katsuya.ca definitely must try! Great food awesome staff. Thanks for a great experience“

“It tastes good, I will come again next time 😘“

“For our first night in Toronto for a girls' trip, we had dinner at Chubby's given the good reviews and me mentioning wanting to try the various Caribbean spots during our stay. The decor gives island vibes with the wooden furniture and tranquil color choice for decor. Staff were all pretty helpful, with you waiter being pretty attentive.

For my drink, I ordered the rum punch which was pretty good in the balance of flavorand alcohol content. In terms of food, the portions for my entree (Oxtail Stew) was a little smaller than I thought but or actually worked out well and was enough. The oxtail was cooked down, well seasoned and tender, but I felt like I got a lot of pieces that were just bone or pretty fatty. The other food/Likkle bites I ordered to share with one of my friends were also very good. The Pepper Shrimp definitely had a heavy kick of spice to it and tasty. I really enjoyed the Saltfish (Cod) Fritters - they were tasty, had a good chutney to go with it. The plantains were cooked perfectly so that they stayed soft.

All in all, we had a good dining experience.“

“We had fabulous service. Our waiter Tim was fantastic. Very attentive and wonderful personality Would highly recommend going there if you are in Toronto“

“We had a wonderful time at Antler this past Saturday while celebrating a milestone birthday. From the very beginning, the staff was incredibly accommodating, handling all the logistics seamlessly and making the planning process easy and stress-free. The food was outstanding—creative, flavorful, and beautifully plated. Service was prompt, attentive, and warm, which added a special touch to the evening.

Our only minor wish was that our two tables had been placed closer together, or that we had a clearer idea of the distance between them beforehand, as it left the group feeling slightly divided.

Even so, we couldn’t be more pleased with our decision to celebrate at Antler and are already looking forward to our next visit.“

“The taco assembly kit is definitely a one of a kind experience, not to mention the mac n cheez quesadilla was lovely. The star of the show however is the Reese's peanut butter and chocolate shake (specify you want it vegan cause altho food is fully vegan the shakes can be made with diary also)!!!“

“Great food. Love this place. Staff are super friendly & professional.“

“Super friendly staff and great food!“

“Amazing service and amazing food every single time. H“

“Jason made us feel like family when we visited yesterday. food was great, we will be back!“

“I love this place. They have amazing vegan options but also options for meat eaters as well. Good wine selection and cocktails. Best vegan caesar salad in the city and the Hakka tofu is lovely as well.“

“Friendly services and delicious foods…!!“
