Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Aurora

"Graceful Vegetarian Restaurant is located within the Splendid China Mall in Markham. Most of their dishes are completely vegan. They have mock meats, a large dim sum menu, and hot pots."

"If you want to combine swimming and hiking, Rouge Beach, Toronto’s eastern most beach in Scarborough, is the spot for you. Set in an urban nature park, the beach is home to marshes, wetlands, a pedestrian bridge, trails, wildlife and beautiful sunsets: you can easily spend the entire day here. Bonus points: It’s also a great canoeing destination."

"Located at the mouth of the Rouge River at the east end of Lawrence Avenue, this beach is shared with the West Rouge Canoe Club. Near the beach is a marsh that provides a home to a variety of wildlife. Any time of the year, the picturesque scenery around Rouge Beach is calming and impressive."

"A little more of a drive from the city in Scarborough, Rouge Beach is worth the trip on a hot sunny day. Spend the day lounging on the sandy shores, get out in the water and rent a kayak or canoe, watch the sunset, or get lost in nature on the Rouge Marsh trail nearby."

"At first this might seem like an inconspicuous neighbourhood park but this is one of those hidden gems that is a gateway to so much more. Located in Kleinburg and right by Islington Avenue, this is first-and-foremost a great family park packed with features such as large open fields, baseball diamond, soccer field, and tennis courts. That's just the tip of the iceberg as the park also is the start of a trail system called the William Granger Greenway that is well-maintained and follows a tumbling stream with plenty of green foliage."

"Bindertwine Park a beautiful stretch of land offering a long, walkable hiking trail that travels along the picturesque Humber river. As you travel along the path, you’ll find the refreshing scent of the trees really transports you to a peaceful, natural space. As a plus, Bindertwine also has ample free parking, making this spot very accessible."

"The Vegitaliano is a vegan Italian restaurant in Vaughan that I absolutely adore. It’s not the fanciest place and many people do takeout (there is limited seating, too), but the food speaks for itself. There are lots of pasta dishes with vegan cheese, sandwiches, breads, and desserts like a vegan passion flakie."
