50 Best Vegan Restaurants near York

“Delicious food, desserts and juice! we had the sampler plate and everything was so good 😊“

“Fantastic gluten free sufganiyot, cookies, muffins, etc. Love this place!“

“There is no other bagel you need to eat in the GTA. None. Primrose continues to nail the perfect texture and taste, and their commitment to perfection is amiable. Every time I go I buy extra to share with friends and family and convert them to the Primrose way. They are always happy. This is the way.“

“By far the most selection of vegan pizzas in the city and they taste amazing. I especially am a big fan of the vegan pesto base, and the diverse vegan meat alternatives options at hand. the best vegan garlic bread, especially when vegan cheese is added. they are in my top 3 choices and the second place I've come across with vegan pesto- that's a rarity! so many thanks to their great efforts at making amazing vegan pizzas!“

“Felt like a wonderful home made meal. Warm, hearty vegan platter which was great value! Not to mention delicious.The owner was a sweet and gentle man, felt like he was truly concerned with our well being. One note is to move away from styrofoam but otherwise just amazing! Highly recommend as this is one of the best vegan places I've been to!

Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan“

“We were so happy when we found out that this Pai location was in our neighbourhood and it has now become a staple. We don't notice a difference from the downtown and Eglinton locations - it's the exact same quality and portion sizes. We also love that they are so accommodating about substitutions and making items gluten free. Never a bad meal here!“

“I know Rebozos since 2009 and it always has been consistant and unique. Many mexican restaurants around the GTA but just a few have the authentic mexican taste and good quality foods. Rebozos is one of them. congratulations“

“Best place for breakfast and coffee
Used to go to the Tim Hortons opposite to it but I realized that this is much better quality food, coffee and other drinks and nicer prices
Also they serve and sell very nice variety of bread and cakes. For bread, I would say one of the best in Toronto

Very very friendly staff
Very nice atmosphere where you can sit and see the world around you“

“Probably the best "chain store" pizza in Canada! Love to get a slice or two when visiting Toronto. Hope they open branches in Ottawa soon (we need better pizza slices in the nation's capital).“

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

“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.“

“Amazing atmosphere, service and you can taste the chef’s passion ❤️‍🔥“

“tasty and delicious 😋. Friendly and honestly“

“The food is phenomenal!!!🫶🏻“

“This place serves authentic Egyptian food the way tastes in Egypt and with warm service hospitality too Highly recommended for middle eastern food lovers and for vegetarians too Great job guys #egyptianfood #vegetrianfood“

““Our experience at Fresh was truly exceptional. The dishes were delicious and diverse, offering rich flavors and high quality. The cleanliness of the restaurant and its modern décor created a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere. Most importantly, the service was outstanding, with Po providing a warm, friendly, and professional touch that made our visit even more special. We highly recommend Fresh for a unique and enjoyable dining experience“

“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.“

“Everyone was very pleasant. Food was good. Loved the decor and the patio.“

“We had an awesome experience! The staff was friendly and the food was super delicious 😋. We are from the Washington, DC and would definitely make a special trip just to get a great meal from Raw Aura. We wish you had a location near us 😊“

“We have been going to fresh for over 5 years and this location had without a doubt the best customer service we have experienced. The workers Takayla and Tay were so friendly and made great conversation the entire time we were ordering. And with the beautifully designed space(great plant selection ) tits definitely a place we will revisit.

Thanks!“

“Hawker on Augusta Avenue was a standout Summerlicious experience. I’ve never eaten at a vegetarian restaurant like this or experienced a culinary chef’s vision so clearly. Executive Chef Leah Steduto’s creativity and intention come through in every dish, making the food thoughtful, memorable, and truly transformative.

Executive Chef Leah Steduto is known for her creative naturalistic approach to plant-based cuisine, earning Hawker local acclaim for beautifully composed dishes that redefine vegetarian fine dining.“

“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.“

“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 had the most incredible mushroom udon noodles they were so yummy I definitely recommend! I also ordered the new Brussel sprouts on the menu and I don’t usually like Brussel sprouts but these were incredible! The portions were great! And honestly I find every time I go to fresh I always like everything on their menu. They are very trustworthy and authentically vegan. The service is incredible, they never have you waiting and they are extremely kind. The atmosphere makes you feel safe and is very beautiful and homey. Overall I really recommend you go to fresh and also try their new feature menu. ❤️🫶⭐️“

“We visited the Toronto location on Front St. The food was fresh and delicious! My daughter is gluten free and the waitress, Brianna, was so careful to make sure everything she ordered was exactly that. Will be back on our next visit to Toronto!“

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

“The food was incredible. We ordered this while at our hotel waiting for our flight. We're from a smaller town where these options aren't available to us, so we always appreciate seeing fully vegan restaurants and options. We loved what we ordered. Tasted great and was very timely!“

“After an event, a group of us slowly arrived to the restaurant. Our server, Rachel, graciuosly accommodated our expanding group. Her service was very attentive and our food arrived promptly. Because of Rachel's amazing service we will definitely becoming back again.“

“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!“

“We stopped at Stefano’s for dinner and started with the Brie. It was excellent, but sadly it was also the highlight of the meal. The New School Salmon was interesting and definitely fish-ish but the texture was quite dry and I think a creamy sauce would have helped. The muffuletta was a big letdown. It didn’t have a good strong olive relish, it was cut with too many other veggies like celery. The tiramisu was good. Updated from previous review on 2025-12-20“

“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.“

“Tasty comfort food with good portions, very polite staff and quick service. We tried the chicken and waffles and the seitan steak. Will definitely visit again. Taking a star off as one of the steaks was in a bit overdone and was a bit tough.“

“First visit at the Bloor West location, received good information addressing my dietary concerns. Ordered the 7-veg soup and wedges. Outdoor Cafe is nice for seasonal. Kids seem to be wild about the acai bowls. It is VERY RARE to find no canola plant based options in Toronto these days - this place is a Gem 💎“

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

“Great place to eat. Love coming here.“

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

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Excellent food and service.“

“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.“

“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.“

“First of all I will say that I am not a vegan but inspire to be and these cheesecakes are to die for, like honestly! I have tried all of the flavours and I personally like the Espresso Choc. Chip and Raspberry. I highly recommend this company for gluten free, soy free, dairy free and refined sugar free tasty desserts.“

“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!“

“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.“
