The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, and you can feel the passion in everything she creates. If you love chocolate, this place is a must-visit. Highly, highly recommend!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Amazing Calzone!
The calzone at Pizzaiolo St. Clair Ave East is outstanding—perfectly crisp dough, delicious fillings, and great flavour. Huge shout-out to Santosh, who made it fresh and absolutely nailed it. Highly recommend! 🍕✨“

“Delicious food and a wide selection of drinks. Friendly service. Thank you Nick... you're amazing!“

“My girlfriends and I visited Planta a few weeks ago, and it was such a pleasant experience. It was my first time at the restaurant, and while I’m not vegan, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I’m currently limiting my dairy intake, so I was thrilled to satisfy my pizza craving with one of their delicious dairy-free options.

The service was fantastic—both Sid and Grace were such a pleasure. Grace was especially knowledgeable and helpful when we were placing our orders, and when there was a small issue with my meal, they handled it quickly, apologetically, and with kindness.

I would definitely recommend Planta and can’t wait to go back!“

“As a veg/Vegan for the last 30 years or so, this was the most amazing plant based meal and experience, I have ever had. The bar, the quality, the STAFF …EVERYTHING ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thank you so much for your beautiful food and atmosphere. 🙏✨💕 I can’t wait to return.“

“I love the pho and the place is super clean, and the washroom sparkles. And Vicky is honest, friendly. I highly recommend this place for everyone.“

“The food is phenomenal!!!🫶🏻“

“Love Fresh and I’m still obsessed with the Buffalo Wrap. I try to push myself to order something else every now and then and I was not disappointed by the fall/winter features. Also a lovely spot to meet a fellow Toronto HappyCow Ambassador for dinner! Updated from previous review on 2026-04-07“

“I always enjoy having a meal here at fresh Eglington.

The staff and service were amazing. And the food was delicious!

If you are uptown and looking for a place to grab a bite, I highly recommend stopping in.“

“If you are looking for incredible tasting food, quality ingredients, environmental sustainability, a trendy and tranquil café vibe, detailed dietary accommodations, and complete transparency, this is your spot. You can tell that Chef Ishan and his team truly care about the food and experience they are offering to their guests and go out of their way to offer suggestions, provide any information you need and offer delicious bonuses throughout your meal. There is a fantastic range of options on their menu making it an excellent spot to stop for a specialty drink and appetizer, breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert or cocktail hour. With every bite you can taste the quality of what you are eating. I ate there with my 3 and 6 year old recently and they loved it just as much as I did. I highly recommend everyone visits this unique spot and appreciates their ethos for themselves! If I lived in Toronto I would definitely be a regular customer.“

“Booked a visit here with non vegan husband. What an experience, with very different ingredients! We had the gai lan, runner beans, dosa, squash and for dessert a delicious and very interesting fern ice cream (I can’t remember what else we had!) I really enjoyed the runner beans. The dishes were far more complex than the titles suggest and took us a bit out of our comfort zone but in a good way. No fake meats or fish, just plants served in interesting and delicious ways. Service was excellent too, friendly, informative and passionate about vegan cuisine. Updated from previous review on 2026-05-13“

“Bonnie suggested the Date Almond drink for breaking my fast during Ramadan, and honestly, it was such a great recommendation! It’s really refreshing and gives the perfect energy boost after a long day of fasting.
I’m so glad she told me about it. Definitely something I’ll keep having during Ramadan. Thank you, Bonnie! 🌙✨“

“Really good cheap and filling vegan food. Such a delight.“

“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.“

“I travel for a living, so I get to try a lot of different places and this place was AWESOME! I got the STEFANO’S STACKED FOCACCIA SANDWICH I gotta say it was in my top 5 meals I've had. And the Tiramisu was so rich. Looking forward to my next trip.“

“A truly authentic experience. Really good, tasty food. All food was made from scratch and you can taste the effort which has been put into it.

I really enjoyed the creamy Ital stew.

Looking forward to visiting again to try more of their menu and to indulge in the lovely calm atmosphere, a unique place.“

“When I'm near Harbourfront this is my go-to restaurant: it's a convenient walk, has a huge selection, is all vegan, and you can find some good deals with bundles or happy hour timing. This trip I went 4 times in 6 days! If you go from 3-5 or from 8-10pm (closing) they have "Happy Hour" which includes a few juices and smoothies for 5$, some appetizers for 8$, and some other discounts I can't remember. If you go with a friend, they do "bundles for 2" all day, where you get to pick an appetizer and two entrees from a subset for 45$, plus you can add in juices or cake slices for 5$ each. The cake slices are huge and definitely a steal for 5$.“

“Just the best - our fav over and over again - try the garlic shrimp!“

“Fresh consistently does whole foods plant based in such a delicious and nourishing way, and the Bellwoods location is such a treat! Rachel was super kind and timely with her service and the heated patio is a super cozy space :) recommended for a healthy dinner or a cute date!“

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

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“By far the best restaurant in Toronto so far. I came here for my birthday and the experience was transcendent. First, the service was top tier level, the waiter that took care of us was gentlemen with a great vibe. Best server I had in my life. They seated us according to our request (nice seating away from the entrance). They also printed a birthday card for me which was very considerate. They also called and emailed asking us very detailed oriented questions ahead of the dinner which was top notch. They also switched our utensils every meal which is a small detail yet powerful dinner experience detail. Sparkling water was also complimentary versus other restaurants. The pace of the food was perfect as well and they also gave me a small birthday cake!

Food was immaculate. An eye opening experience. I cannot even describe the food/art that I have eaten. Nothing disappointed me. They used the best of the best ingredients. Every dish was perfectly curated and every bite was orgasmic. If I was a multi millionaire, I would come here everyday. All the food was at the right temperature, nothing got stuck to our teeth, and I would say the egg & toast dish was one very memorable.

Now as for the atmosphere, the decor was elegant but the restaurant isn’t very big, thus the difficulty of getting a reservation. It was comfy and treated us extremely well.

Overall I recommend it for special occasions, not for a huge party but great for 4 people family or with your significant other. I will be coming back for sure one day.“

“Turmeric Latte was fantastic with a large variety of mylk options. Everything is vegan and gluten free. Their brownie was made in house and delicious. I love that everything tasted delicious and was so nutritious. Felt soo good after eating. Clean eating in disguise. Highly recommend. Even my girlfriend who is not vegan LOVED it! Also love that there is a Green P lot right near by- Lot 64.“

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

“You really understand the vocabulary of great food!☺“

“Hogtown vegan is my favourite restaurant for sure! I have been eating here since they first opened (around 2012-2013 or so) and visit at least a couple times a year (more when finances allow!) Including on my birthday. They have an excellent selection and everything is super tasty. Some of my favourites are the Caesar salad and the bacon cheeseburger. Now I'm hungry!! I would recommend hogtown vegan to vegetarians, vegans and meat eaters alike (every veggie and meat eater who has visited with me has enjoyed everything!) Kids too 😊“

“Love this place. 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!“

“evarthing is good service very good“

“We were visiting from France and had researched restaurants before our arrival.
OMG Chubbys did not disappoint, the food is outstanding, the service warm and friendly and atmosphere was buzzing but chilled.
The chicken curry is top notch and the ginger beer packs a massive punch.“

“I feel like it’s rare for restaurants to survive in Toronto as long as Grey Gardens has, but it’s so apparent to me now why it has.

This was a 10/10 dining experience for me, and pretty much the best I’ve had out in TO in a very long time. Just wow. The ambiance is so warm and inviting, the service is TOP notch, and the food is so damn delicious (we ordered a second tartare after we took one bite of the first one). Drinks were bomb too. We spent the entire ride home talking about how enjoyable and lovely our evening was. Thank you so much Grey Gardens! I will definitely be returning with many in tow!“

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

“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.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Had an absolutely wonderful dinner with family and friends. Really great service, very friendly staff, and delicious appetizers, mains, and dessert. Our server Krish treated us like family! What a treat!“

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

“Best lentil soup ever! Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Mmmmmm“

“Amazing chef’s tasting and attentive staff!“

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

“Visited for the first time last weekend.

Every course was delicious, with mushrooms being the crown jewel for each of them.

The grilled squid was fantastic, grilled, crispy and smoky while also super perfectly tenderized.

The restaurant ambiance is much nicer than it looks on Google Maps.“

“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)!!!“

“Just checked out this place and Omg what a gorgeous atmosphere. Adam was at the front door to greet me and he was very professional!“
