30 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Pickering

“Alice was professional and the food and service was excellent. Lovely clam chowder soup. Lady, young girl escorting us to to our seat. had a friendly attitude and her eyes showed her enjoyment of her job.“

“Honestly, this place is great. Went here after a long day at work + gym and needed a nice meal for the night. My brother from Nepal (one of the servers) hooked me up with amazing service and conversation. Food was good and the prices were fair. Will be coming back!“

“Had a decent experience here tonight. Our waiter was really nice (Indian guy) genuinely one of the best waiters ever. If management sees this, you should consider giving him a promotion. Although, they were pretty busy on a Friday night, so someone else brought out our food. He was absolutely terrible, gave me a burning hot plate and instead of putting it on the table, put it in my hands and did not warn me it was hot, I ended up burning my hands. Then his attitude when we asked him he could bring some extra tissues and vinegar (for the fries) and his response baffled me, he said we have salt at the table and ignored the request for tissues)🤦‍♂️. Fortunately, our original waiter came back and carried out the request and apologized on behalf of his colleague after we notified him.

To be fair, he (the terrible waiter) needed to wear glasses, (I’m assuming for his poor vision), but the glasses should help him see that there is no vinegar/tissues at our table and that we are paying customers at a nice restaurant we dine at every other week, so he should carry out our simple request.

Pickle barrel is a fine restaurant, and I’ve never had someone in my dining experience refuse to bring out vinegar or tissues. And on top of that, give us attitude, role his eyes at us, as if we just asked for something crazy.

The manager was very nice, our main waiter was very nice, just consider firing or re-training your other staff (glasses guy). Genuinely baffled how people like him are able to work at a fine restaurant like Pickle Barrel.

Also, this Pickering location is 1 million times better than there location at Yonge and Eg.“

“😍Love this place. Its one of our top Pickering treats of the week go to. If you have not gone you have to go! fish tacos, street corn & chips love em'“

“Our experience at this location is always superb! Mostly because of the excellent service from our regular server, Lynn. She is friendly, knows everything about the menu, efficient, and really makes the customer feel important. The food is great as well. The great experience really comes from Lynn. Highly recomended!“

“This is my 4th time at this location and I love it! I’ve been to a few of them but for some reason the vibes in here hit differently. Our server was wonderful young man. He was attentive and very conversational with my husband and I. It totally made this dinner that much better. Thank you Jayden for a great experience. Highly recommend this place!!!“

“Great service, fast friendly and food is fresh“

“I would definitely recommend all the food because with the food I ordered, I am very satisfied, it taste so good.“

“This place is perfect for small range and large range. Isabella knew the perfect way to handle 11 people! The service was amazing and the owner is really nice! I truely recommend this place not only because of how good the food was but overall everything! I’m glad I go here with my friends mostly every Friday after basketball! This place is the best and shout out Isabella!“

“I tried the Huge Chicken Burrito and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were amazing and everything tasted fresh and well-made. The girl working there was by herself and still managed everything so quickly and efficiently. She was super fast, organized, and handled the rush really well. Great food and great service — I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Delicious food. Will order again for sure.“

“Best spring rolls we've had in a long time and wonderful pad thai. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Will be back regularly“

“The delicious pizza, the exceptional customer service, and the calm, kind, friendly manager, Cole is why I'll go back to this Dominos. Thank you for being you Cole! I appreciate you and your kind gesture.

I was breaking my streak and ordering my first pizza for the year. So glad it was here, that pizza hit the spot. 😊“

“Decided to give this place a try because I've been driving past it to work. Ordered the 1/4 leg and rib combo and it is fantastic. Ribs were perfect with a sauce that has the right amount of heat. Ribs and chicken are finished on the grill so the sauce caramelized properly. Generous portion of sides and the staff were friendly. I've been told that the brisket is good and based on what I had I'll be checking it out shortly.“

“I generally find the quantity of wings spots across the GTA to be going down hill. BUT this place has great quality wings. The chicken always tastes fresh and they have a lot of meat on the bones. The sauces are very interesting and they have so much variety.Definitely worth the price especially considering how much variety.“

“The Owl of Minerva is a great addition to the pickering food scene and to the greater Durham Region. The menu is fantastic and diverse and the staff are friendly and warm.“

“It was absolutely delicious. The Thai Lemon Coconut Soup was especially flavourful without being heavy. Generous portions, beautiful presentation, and friendly service make it on those restaurants you can't wait to come back again. Would recommend the the Thai Pineapple Fried Rice and the Chicken Pad Thai.“

“This was my first time. All of the servers were really kind and their hospitality was awesome. The Satay Rare-Beef Pho was very good. The XL size was filling and delicious 😋. Their deep-fried spring rolls were on point! Will be back for more next time I am in the area! 🙏🏽😌💫“

“There isn't enough words to express my gratitude towards Little Caesars. I've been a part of this community since 2010 and Little Caesars has always been there for us, even more then our own government. I remember growing up I didn't have much money and would have 5 dollars to last me the week and Little Caesars would have that hot and ready for me. I used to wake up hungry for school and check the fridge to find it empty and as i was leaving for school hungry, I would see a box of Little Caesars on my stove and it would brighten my day already. I'm taking all Little Caesars slander PERSONALLY. Truly a modern delicacy. If you want to feel treated like royalty and that you are getting your bang for your buck, go to Little Caesars.“

“Sakada is my go-to spot whenever I need a quick and satisfying meal to tackle any cravings. Their chicken or beef teriyaki on rice never disappoints — it’s always fresh, flavourful, and exactly what I’m looking for.

Their sushi is just as amazing and always hits the spot, no matter what kind of craving I have. On top of that, their prices are so reasonable for the quality you get, which makes it even better.

Whether I’m grabbing something quick or sitting down for a meal, Sakada is consistently delicious and reliable. Highly recommend! 🍱🍜🍣“

“September 30, 2025 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I ordered Pollock 1 Fish (3 oz) & 1/2 chips for only $6.95 + tax and wow, that was a crazy steal of a deal! The fish was served nice and hot off the fry, and it taste absolutely crispy and delicious! So worth it, a must try!“

“New menu up and we just tried some new to menu items! Let me tell you, best crispy chicken sandwich ever! I had the crispy avocado pollo and hubby got country southern fried chicken over mashed potatoes and a creamy mushroom gravy. Portions are generous and we always leave satisfied!“

“Fresh, delicious sushi and other food! I loved how they used brown rice which is healtheir for you, also they did not over use soy sauce on their dishes.
One of the best spots in Durham Region! The staff were very friendly and accommodated my glutten free needs. They were always busy and had people waiting for a table when we left. Our first time here and we will be back!“

“we came here on our way back to New Brunswick, we were starving and just picked the first place on maps. oh. my. God. so so good! we were waited on so well, she was so polite! checked in often, was so knowledgeable on the food. just amazing. we will purposely be back.“

“the jersey chicken I'd great! cooked perfectly. not dry at all! the heat from the jerk sneaks up on you. when it does you'll most definitely get another order.“

“Great atmosphere and prices are very good!“

“Family atmosphere , food is Great“

“We had just been saying last week that Pickering did not have good pizza options, well that all changed tonight! We ordered from Vis à Vis and boy was it good! Thin crust, wood oven pizza with delicious toppings. This will be our new regular for sure! Hope they continue to do well and will make sure my friends know about this place to make sure it stays open. Yum!“

“Amazing service & good selection of foods“

“First time here today, I ordered the Brox sandwich and it was golden. Came to 13$ with a pop and the guy who served me was great, engaged in conversation with me and took the time to do everything proper. Definitely recommend and definitely will return!“
