26 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in East York

“No food.
Z our waiter was so personable. Nice introduction and compared stories. Attentive. Added to the innate ambience of the location.
Nice patio. Next time upstairs when windows are open

We will be back!“

“We enjoyed 2 can dine and it was delicious! We were served by Sunshine, no really ... our lovely server's name was Sunshine... kind, courteous and professional. The food was hit and fresh, everything was great. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Sunshine 🌞“

“We recently visited The Olde Yorke and had a solid, classic fish and chips experience. The space has a cozy, traditional pub feel with a straightforward, no-frills atmosphere and very generous portions.

The fish and chips are clearly the highlight. The batter was golden and crisp, and the portion size is substantial. We chose the halibut, which is naturally more dense, so if you prefer a lighter, flakier texture, the cod would likely be the better option.

We also tried the clam chowder, which leaned slightly too fishy for our preference. The coleslaw was decent, but fairly simple and could have used a bit more flavour to stand out.

While not everything fully impressed, the overall meal still delivers on a traditional, comforting fish and chips experience.

Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming throughout.

Overall, it’s a reliable spot for classic fish and chips, especially if you’re looking for generous portions and a traditional approach.“

“Great service always. Variety of desserts. Good quality. Lots of products. Great custom birthday cakes“

“The food is consistently delicious full of authentic flavour and generous portions. Everything was well seasoned and fresh. Manager Tee was very good, friendly, and made the experience even better with great service. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!“

“I came here for breakfast on a Friday and didn't have a reservation. They have coffee and my cappuccino was great. The food was decent. I ordered an extra egg, but still didn't feel like it was enough. The avocado was only half of one. The bread was very good. I recommend this place for the atmosphere. It is a great place to enjoy a breakfast out.“

“We had an appointment and we're early, so we decided to check out the Cafe. We ordered our food, and then realized that I'd forgotten my wallet in the car, parked a distance away. The woman behind the counter generously gave us our meals free of charge. This rarely happens in our world anymore. We have gratitude and we are thankful that there are still beautiful, giving human beings out there. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

“They serve the best Mexican food!!! 🥰“

“I’ve been coming here for years and have always had a great experience. I have tried many items on the menu and tina’s brunch bowl is by far my favourite. Everything is delicious though and very fairly priced. The staff is also so warm and welcoming. It’s an east york staple and love to see it so busy! Nothing but love for this place.“

“What a gem! Bravo to the people who work there! I have ate a whole pizza to myself now 2 days in a row 🙃 I had the cowspiracy, the tour de france, and I shared the Dino bones pizza lol I love different things. I also love quality good deals. This was it! One of the best things I have ever had and I almost feel you all have up my flavor pallette 👌💯🙌“

“I went for a quick meal in mid-afternoon. I had the lamb and chicken combo which came with a side of green salad and rice. I chose not to have the rice. To my surprise I was I was charged less than what the price stated on the menu. The chicken and the lamb were both tender and spiced just right. I was very impressed by the quality of the food - fresh, clean and very tasty. For a quick and inexpensive meal, I highly recommend Afghan Cuisine on Overlea Blvd.“

“Wow. Ive had pizza from all over Canada. Ive lived in almost every province and let me tell you, this pizza, this service is phenomenal. Ive never had a more delicious diverse menu experience in my life in a pizza place. Please give these guys a shot, incredible incredible.“

“Lived in the neighborhood for 40 years and just found this little gem hidden away, I never knew it was there after all these years. Mandarin at Yonge and Eglinton just closed down so finding this place couldn't have come at a better time. Although I wish I had known about it long before now.“

“The Service was great but I will never order the pancakes from them again, I was undercooked and dorothy on the inside. I told our waitress and they brought me a new one and It's same thing, either they don't communicate with the kitchen or the people who cook the pancakes just don't care. Eventhough the waitress has rectify the issue and asked me if I want to order something else but everyone already finished eating so end up didn't get to eat.“

“The best SHAWARMA EVER keep up the good work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻many thanks 🌺“

“I can’t say enough about how well made Pizza Nova’s pizza is compared to other spots in the area. It was clearly made fresh — not cold, not greasy, just warm and really satisfying even by the time we got it home.

Out of all the pizza places around the neighborhood, this one really stood out. We’ve actually decided to make it our go-to for Friday nights, especially grabbing a party-size pizza to share.“

“A gem. Generous on everything you think somebody might skimp on. Picked up and ate at a East York Civic Center picnic table.“

“Food is fresh and delivered quickly and still hot.“

“This is a gem. The owner, Fen, serves you and she's very warm, friendly and accommodating. I'm the kind of patron servers try to avoid because I always want to switch ingredients. Only broccoli and mushroom with my bean curd? No problem! Normally a place will just leave out the other ingredients and not compensate for their absence, but clearly, as the photo shows, it's not how they operate here.

Most of their business is take out, so the place has been exceptionally quiet every time I've come, which is nice. The menu is well organized and easy to navigate.

The pricing is very reasonable and the portions are quite large, but on top of everything the food texture is appropriately firm (not mushy, like some places... You actually need to chew your broccoli here!) and the flavor is excellent.“

“Great food, great prices, great service, and, very clean.“

“Back in the day from 2003-2013, I used to work at the hospital around the corner. This place was a staple for me. Very generous pies and an even nicer middle eastern man (possibly Iranian) who was the owner. Price point was always dynamite. Drove by the other day and it brought back memories.“

“Absolutely delicious food, wonderful staff too. Highly recommend!“

“Total delicious awesomeness of bite sized belly filling comfort food.“

“The chicken over fries is really delicious and flavorful. Definitely one of the best I’ve had. Sometimes, I noticed a hair in my food, which was disappointing. Overall, the food is tasty, but this is something the restaurant should be more careful about.“

“Absolutely love the food from EDEN, on Coxwell Avenue. It is our local and we get take out at least 1 - 2 times a week. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care—every dish had that perfect balance of taste and texture you hope for. The portions are generous, and there is something to please everyone in our family ...we love all of their soups and noodle dishes, our faves. The restaurant is clean, however not a fancy dining environment, just basic tables and chairs. I think most of their business is take out, so they haven't done much with the dining room. The staff are warm, attentive, and always recognize "regulars' in a welcoming way. Service is always quick, and everything arrives hot and beautifully presented. Happy to recommend this lovely little place. It’s the kind of place you can count on for a relaxed meal, whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout. Definitely a go-to for delicious, comforting Chinese food—I’ll be back for sure!“

“I order pizza from this restaurant almost every week, and they never disappoint! The pizza is always hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The staff are incredibly respectful and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I truly appreciate their consistent quality and service. Highly recommend!“
