Best Vegan Restaurants in York

"Planta is one of those friendly vegan spots that can sway even your meat-loving friends. And it’s been a Toronto mainstay for years now. Aside from their beautiful plant-based dishes, the interior of Planta restaurants also wows, so no surprise that their patio situation is also on point."

"A post shared by PLANTA (@planta) on Jun 18, 2020 at 9:53am PDT. This place may just change your mind about vegan food!. With a completely plant-based menu, this upscale veg resto takes inspiration from all over the world with creations from local chef David Lee."

"We absolutely love everything that is going on over at Planta. There is not a single boring spot to be found on the interior of this delectable plant-based resto. Even the chairs are dope!"

"Healthy, Grab-n-Go, Gluten-Free, Casual, Smoothies, Breakfast, Lunch + Dinner. Kupfert and Kim was my go-to for quick, healthy breakfasts since they open at 7:30 am. I had their house-made granola, the breakfast congee, tried a couple different smoothies and some of their vegan baking."

"Hello 123 is the spot to do it, because a vegan or vegetarian brunch might just be the best way to ease into plant-based dining. Hello 123 (a sibling to another plant-based Toronto hot spot, Kupfert & Kim) has the perfect trellis-covered patio space to dine on a boozy, colourful brunch. The chic white patio is calling out for some Instagram or TikTok-friendly content creation, so come hungry and prepped for a mini photo shoot."

"A post shared by Hello 123 (@hello123forever) on Dec 29, 2019 at 7:15am PST. The suave, mature sibling to ever-popular sister chain Kupfert & Kim, Hello 123 is a chic, minimalist spot on Queen West serving carefully-crafted, plant-based dishes and drinks. Kids will dive into pulled pineapple sliders, loaded sweet potatoes and heaving platters of veggie-crowned nachos."

"It is fairly casual and requires no reservations & the options are endless!. There are tons of brunch and lunch options to fit all desires. In the summer months, there is also a patio to sit on which is very enjoyable."

"Tori’s Bake Shop is as cute as a button, and also offers great tasting vegan treats made with organic, unrefined ingredients. The cupcakes are amazing, the cookies a treat, and maybe the birthday kiddo wants some delicious brownies or doughnuts as their treat of choice?. These morsels are desserts we feel good about serving."

"Tori's was Toronto's first vegan café when it opened back in 2012. Now, their home on Queen East is known for gluten-free goodies, too. Organic delights like their fudge dipped, salted dark chocolate donut and decadent Nanaimo bar with a crumbled gingerbread and coconut crust are baked-fresh daily and free of refined sugar."

"Tori’s Bakeshop is one of my favorite vegan bakeries in Toronto, and it’s been around for a long time. In fact, it’s Toronto’s first vegan cafe that opened back in 2012. They’re always a fav of mine at Toronto Vegfest, and I love making a special trip out to The Beaches to pay them a visit."

"Fennel Organic Eatery is a 100% vegan establishment tucked inside Noah’s Naturals. They offer a takeout buffet with 18+ different hot and cold items daily. They also have snacks, soup, baked goods, juices, and more."

"The establishment has been serving simple, but good food for more than a hundred years now. Although it’s no longer in its original location, this spot at Lawrence and Bathurst is cute in the way most people find old couples cute; there’s just something endearing about it. The coffee never runs dry, and when you do decide to leave, make sure to stop by the front counter to bring a pastry or two home."

"The McMichael Canadian Art Collection is a major public gallery devoted to collecting the art of Canada. Handcrafted buildings set amid 40 hectares of conservation trails contain works by the Group of Seven, as well as by First Nations, Inuit, Métis and other acclaimed Canadian artists. It's a 34km drive from Toronto and totally worth the trip."

"A post shared by Iconic Fast Food Made Vegan (@globallylocalfastfood). Did someone say vegan fast food?. This delicious joint offers all the indulgent eats you’ll find at the drive-thru."

"Set in the heart of the Kensington Market district, Tortería San Cosme ranks among the best sandwiches we’ve eaten all year, and well worth the hype and the wait. This well-themed Mexican eatery is devoted only to torterías (bread-based sandwiches), with menu staples that include the Cubano (ham, pork, and bacon base - $9.95 CAD or about $8 USD), the Poblano (roasted chicken and mole - $9.95 CAD), and the Adobada (steak - $9.95 CAD)."

"Peterson heads to the famous Kensington Market district of downtown Toronto in this episode, to eat at Torteria San Cosme, which serves traditional Mexican sandwiches, called tortas. Opened by Mexico City-born chef Arturo Anhalt, San Cosme takes the often messy street food to a sit-down restaurant level."
