Toronto's Top 10 Vegan & Vegetarian Restaurants

Vegetarian Haven

Vegetarian Haven is an award-winning vegan restaurant offering a plethora of lunch and dinner options that are all gluten free, wheat free, locally grown, and chock full of organic ingredients. The big draw of this haven, however, is its range of organic juices such as the Body Cleanser, which includes carrots, beets, apples and ginger, or the bright California Sunshine, which includes carrots, apples, and lemons for some serious citrus zing. These refreshing juices are perfect thirst-quenchers on a hot summers day.

Annapurna

This veggie restaurant is the oldest vegetarian restaurant in Toronto, having been founded in 1974. Annapurna proudly promotes ideas of world peace and ‘the potential of the human spirit’. The food is mainly South Indian cuisine, while also incorporating some tofu dishes into the menu. The drinks menu favorite is definitely the Toronto’s Original Masala Chai, which is Assam tea, milk, and spices which make this drink a comfort classic.
