Top 5 Vegan Restaurants in Toronto
As the vegan movement spreads across the globe, Toronto is as plant-based as ever. With Toronto’s healthy crop of vegan enthusiasts continuing to grow, here are our top 5 picks for vegan eats in the 6ix.
Of all the vegan spots in Toronto (and there are many), this one offers the most bang for your buck. The menu specializes in plant-based takes on fast-food, from burgers, to mac and cheese, to their top seller: chicken ‘pretenders’. These tenders are the closest thing to real chicken you can get in the city, and their crispy coating is to die for. Be sure to have it with their honey mustard dipping sauce on the side to bring those flavours to the next level.
492 College Street
An oldie but a goodie, The Hogtown Vegan is tasty as ever. This two dollar sign-range restaurant serves veganized versions of comfort food favourites. Their top dish? Definitely the chicken and waffles. Honorable mentions go to the mac and cheese, and the delicious apple turnover for a sweet ending.

3. LOV
Originally founded in Montreal, this upscale vegan eatery is both modern and comforting, and offers a fine dining experience from start to finish. Their mushroom risotto is a must-have, along with their delicious starters ranging from dumplings to poutine! While on the pricier side, the atmosphere and the exquisite dishes will have you coming back for more.

4. TVX
This hidden gem in Kensington is a game-changer for unique vegan eats. Newly renovated, TVX has an ever-changing menu with an array of dishes inspired by various Asian cuisines. The oyster mushrooms may sound less than appetizing, but they will likely be the best thing you’ll eat all year!
291 Augusta Avenue
Fresh is a long-standing favourite in the vegetarian and vegan community, and for good reason. Their food is both healthy and tasty, which is not always an easy feat. Visit the Crawford location for an all-around magnificent dining experience on their beautiful patio.
