50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Toronto

“Excellent delicious vegan meals served by lovely staff“

“First class from beginning to end. We were lucky to reserve seats at the chef’s bar and see the detail and care that goes in to every dish. Great chat, buzzing atmosphere and fantastic food. A memorable evening ❤️“

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

“I really liked these short ribs, kept ordering them over and over. I also like the atmosphere/environment and service/staff, and above all I liked that they offer the option for tables with individual pots instead of a shared pot, I think this place overall is the best hot pot place (I prefer it over bottom-sea-catch)“

“Ram the late night host is an actual legend!“

“Ordered No. 46 sweet & sour mock chicken & No. 56 fried rice noodles with mock beef. Chicken was really tasty, well fried and fluffy. Beef a little less in taste, but also good. Portions are huge! We were not able to eat it all. One main rice is enough for two people - without problem. Staff is nice and super friendly.“

“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.“

“You wont even realize this is a vegetarian and vegan place by the just tasting the food.
Huge portions and so much flavour.
10/10 service as well.
10/10 ambiance.

The khao soi has so much flavour and they add vegan meat (that tasted almost identical to real meat)
Great experience over all. Must visit.“

“It was a very delicious experience! My friends and I had a really great time there. All the food was really good. I especially liked the opportunity to mix and match some sauces myself. I would recommend it to others, I will most likely come back sometime.“

“LOVE this place! The most delicious burrittos I've ever had! AND had to take 1/2 of them home as they were so filling. I had the shrimp while my friend had the smoked lamb and we shared them. Both were excellent. We loved sitting at the window table and watching everyone on College St. walk by with their dogs. Also $10 for a glass of Prosecco!?! Bargain! Decent prices and great service and atmosphere. We will be back. PS. Great place to hang out before a show at The Royal Theatre literally steps away.“

“Clean food in an ambience close to His divine presence“

“The best food I have ever eaten. LITERALLY FELT FULL AND ENERGIZED
Inflammation in my lower back is GONE FROM THAT MIRCLE SMOOTHIE. BACK INFLAMMATION PAIN GONE. THE BLUE DRINK IS ABSOLUTELY A MUST. NEVER FELT BETTER AFTER MEAL. CUSTOMER FOR LIFE. THANK YOU GUYS BEST EXPERIENCE.“

“Muy buena comida y precios solo deberian de hablar español se supone que es un restaurante mexicano!“

“Delicious food, friendly staff and cozy environment. Definitely recommend their food especially butter chicken and malai chicken tikka. Love this place.❤️“

“Nice ambiance, great food (salty for me). Service seems to be improved. The bathroom sink was blocked when I got I the restaurant. We ordered the appetizer, then nothing until everyone else in the restaurant got their food including those who came later than us. Called the waitress, the manager seemed to try to explain, but we all knew what happened. We don't need an explanation, we need an apology.“

“Happy hour menus have been making a comeback with the weakening economy. Planta’s menu is one of the most extensive and offers great value to boot. While beer and wine ring in at $6 and $9, respectively, it’s the $10 cocktails that wet my whistle. You can’t go wrong with the lych please, a gin cocktail lightly sweetened with lychee, lemon, and pineapple with a hibiscus sugar rim that delights.

Planta also provides a huge food offering that doesn’t skimp on portions. With the lettuce wraps ($12) being half off their regular menu price ($23), I expected a shrunken helping the equivalent to two or three wraps. So, when the full plate arrived with enough of the gochujang covered crispy fried tofu and roasted Brussels sprouts to make seven wraps we were flabbergasted. Oh no, we ordered way too much food!

The menu offers no description with the chick’n fried mushrooms ($7) but they turn out to be lightly battered oyster mushrooms that’s dusted with salt and pepper served with a thinned sweet chili sauce. They’re dangerously addictive and so tasty that I could swap these for a chicken nugget any day.

In a similar vein, the crust of the cauliflower wings ($8) was so crispy despite not being overly battered. Drizzles of unagi sauce and sweet chili mayo covered the vegetables giving each bite a burst of flavour.

For a lighter nibble, the summer rolls ($6) are an option. It’s just filled with a lot of carrot and rice noodles and needed more of the other ingredients (papaya, tofu, and herbs) to stand out.

The crispy rice ($9) would work better left intact, so the starch doesn’t become cold and dry. At least they put plenty of the spicy ahi watermelon and guacamole on top to balance out the tasteless rice ball.

I preferred the spicy crab hand roll ($5 each), which was stuffed to the gills with shredded hearts of palm tossed with ponzu and spicy mayo. It’s more of a taco than handroll so it isn’t the easiest to eat but does mean there’s little rice and tons of filling.

The sole dish that threw us both off was the spinach and artichoke dip ($11). How can you mess up a creamy dip? By adding so much coconut oil into the recipe that coconut was all we could taste. It felt like I was eating a savoury coconut cream pie with chunks of vegetables. Its only saving grace was they don’t skimp on the tortilla chips… too bad we didn’t need more than a few each.“

“As someone from Mumbai who constantly craves authentic Indian snacks, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste at Thindi Caffe. Their benne dosa and podi idli are absolutely spot on—fresh, flavorful, and reminiscent of home. The chutney served with it is the perfect complement, elevating the whole experience. If you're looking for a place that delivers authentic South Indian flavors, this is it. I highly recommend Thindi Caffe to anyone seeking a taste of India right here!“

“Excellent food and service! Would come back.“

“If you’re looking for authentic Indian cuisine made with care and bold flavors, Leela is a must-visit. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with pink decor. I can confidently say it's one of the best Indian food experiences I’ve had in a long time.“

“Excellent food and service.“

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

“My favorite bar in Toronto! The interior of the bar is unlike any in the city. The staff, personable and individually interesting. The regulars, quite cool and the irregulars that just shoot in for a drink, are usually chill.

I have a soft spot for the place for personal reasons, but everyone I bring loves the place. Check it out, it's nestled between Milou and Project Gigglewater (usually outside of Summer, you'll see people awkwardly walk into Ruddy, thinking it's Milou or Gigglewater).“

“What a fantastic restaurant. Atmosphere and service were both on point. Dishes & cutlery changed before every new dish, water always filled, and all the items were described in wonderful detail. They even gave us an extra shrimp for the shrimp cocktail! For the stripped bass dish, they also gave us 2 separate portions of fish, which I noticed wasn’t how they served the dish to other patrons. I’m not sure if this was because they noticed we were sharing all the dishes, but it’s a really nice touch that’s easy to miss if that was the case. This is how you make an extraordinary experience. Grey Gardens does it almost on the level of Alo.

The menu is small but all the dishes are very creative and offer good variety. It’s underrated but the bread here is delicious. The red tail grain they use to make their bread is really delicious and the bread comes out so soft in the center but crispy and chewy on the outside.

Another highlight was the maitake dish. The barely they use at the bottom resembles a chewier risotto and the mushroom itself comes out so smokey. Not sure if this was from the cooking or from the addition of the black garlic in the sauce.

Striped bass was also cooked exceptionally well. I’ve never had fish skin that wasn’t battered and fried come out so crispy like I had here before. I just wished there was more of it. The hand torn lamb noodle dish was also very flavourful and the lamb essentially fell apart within the dish.“

“This Freshii location is my go-to spot for lunch! It's reliable, quick, and healthy. The staff are efficient, lovely folks and I love how easy it is to customize any bowl or salad. The ingredients always taste fresh. I've also tried their Chipotle Cheddar Bowl, which was great! Plus, they are on Ritual for easy ordering. Perfect for a quick, guilt-free meal!“

“The food is beyond amazing!! And they have a great selection of desserts as well. ✨“

“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!“

“The food at Yukashi made me happy and I give them an unqualified 5-star rating. Daisuke Izutsu, the chef at Yukashi Japanese Cuisine, is the master of combining simple flavours in harmony to make his cuisine truly memorable. Chef Izutsu's creations are masterpieces of Japanese kaiseki tradition - each course reflects seasonality, balance and detail. Every bite will make you feel like you have been spirited away to some beautiful, cultured place in Japan. Chef Izutsu's meals are exemplary of the meals I have had from all three Iron Chef Japanese (Rokusaburo Michiba, Koumei Nakamura and Masaharu Morimoto).

The seasonal 9-course meal is prepared for each person with the freshest, high quality, ingredients both from Japan and locally. The drink pairings are outstanding, especially the chef's own secret-recipe, homemade, fruit-infused sakes. The staff is small in number - but they are attentive, effective and efficient. As the chef prepared my food in front of me, I really enjoyed the brief moments of chatting with him.

I highly recommend you try Yukashi in more than one different season and see what flavor combinations you enjoy the best.“

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

“I was there earlier with a friend, and we had a wonderful time! We were served by Noman and Rithima (apologies if I misspelled your names!) and both were very welcoming. The food was delicious, good size portion, and overall a lovely visit. Thanks so much!“

“Amazing chef’s tasting and attentive staff!“

“"Osmow's on Rogers Road delivers delightful flavors in every bite, with their succulent shawarma and perfectly seasoned sides. A must-visit spot for anyone craving authentic Middle Eastern cuisine in the area."

Parking: Good“

“It was delicious 🤤 yummy yummy # 😃😃😃super duper # mood changing # I am loving it and will visit again for sure . 👍👍👍👍“

“The High Priest and Chile Fries are delicious 🍔🍟🥤“

“After a lighthearted evening watching & Juliet, we made our way to Scaddabush for some Italian comfort food.

All of EnD Adventures was together — our daughters, friends, and the two of us — which already set the tone for a memorable night out.

Despite the restaurant being packed, we were seated quickly. Our server, Noah, stopped by early with menus and the nightly specials. It was clear the entire team was hustling; drinks took longer than usual, but Noah was doing everything he could to keep the pace.

The space itself was a delight. Warm lighting, thoughtful décor, and those whimsical canned vegetables added a quirky charm that made the room feel inviting and full of character. There was always something interesting to notice.

The fresh mozzarella — their signature — absolutely lived up to its reputation. Creamy, rich, and beautifully prepared, it was easily the standout of the table.

Our meals arrived hot and exactly as ordered, and everyone enjoyed their choices. The only real downside was the long gaps between check-ins for drink refills or questions. With several large tables nearby and the restaurant buzzing, it was understandable, though still noticeable.

All in all, it was a lovely evening, and we’d happily return — perhaps to a quieter location next time, just to see how the service feels when the pace isn’t quite so intense.

“We had a lovely evening celebrating our 15th anniversary! Food was top quality, and very obviously prepared with care. Flavour combinations were unique but still showcased the high quality proteins. Service was casual, but very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend the boar belly main, and charcuterie platter - they were incredible!“

“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.“

“One of my comfort spots in the city. Warm service, endless side dishes, and generous portions of very tasty food at decent prices, all in a tucked away spot? Count me in.

Recommended. Try the Bulgogi Jungsik, or the Spicy Daejijjim ❤️“

“Super friendly staff and great food!“

“A unforgettable dining experience last 07/04/25 (Friday)! Shoutout to Chef/Owner Danny Cancino and his team for an impeccable service! 👏 Every dish and the complimentary additions were phenomenal! The modern twist in Filipino cuisine was definitely well done!💖🌟 Here are some of my standout favorites 🤯: • Pineapple + Kombu (Seaweed): Refreshing and light, with crispy seaweed balancing the sweet, citrusy pineapple 💛 • Duck Ensaymada w/ Duck Prosciutto and Truffle Butter: One of the fluffiest breads I’ve ever had, inspired by classic ensaymada. Spreading truffle butter on it was chef’s kiss—it melts in your mouth! 😭👌 • Scallop Inari Lumpia: Beautifully presented with fried sushi rice, ginger-chili dressed Argentinian shrimp, and seared scallop on top. The rice was fluffy and so tasty I could eat it endlessly! • Iberico Pork Collar: Juicy, saucy, and umami-packed tender pork with chicharon, lettuce leaves, and sesame aioli. The pickled papaya (atchara) was a nice touch—I don’t usually eat atchara, but I loved it with this! • Beef Short Rib Kare-Kare: The star of the show! 🌟👏 Rich, classic kare-kare flavors with blanched bok choy and eggplant. The thick, peanuty sauce was delightful—if only there was rice! 🤣😋 Hope as many people as possible get to try this ultimate gourmet experience, whether you’re visiting Toronto or a Canada local! 🌟 Thank you Mineral!☺️Until we visit again!“

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

“What an unbelievable experience to have dinner at Union. Our server, Hannah, was knowledgeable, attentive and super friendly, you are going to feel Iike you have met her before, she was awesome!

Overall, Union was amazing, we highly recommend it everyone!“
