Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Kitchener

"Planted in Hamilton doesn’t see dietary limitations as restrictions — they see them as an opportunity to push the boundaries of what is possible with plants. Everything that is served at Planted in Hamilton is both vegan and gluten-free, making them the perfect spot for those with food sensitivities. Their regular menu offers a variety of shareables, salads, sandwiches, mains and sides."

"While most of us are self-isolating at home, it can be easy to say “screw it” and nosh on some junk food for lunch. Don’t get us wrong: we love our chips and chocolate too. But when your body needs a break and you want to switch it up to something both delicious and healthy, Planted in Hamilton has got you covered."

"The place is inconspicuous on the plaza it's on; we had to drive around twice before we saw it from the road...."

"Democracy* is unquestionably one of Locke Street’s favourite coffee shops. Endeavouring to be equal parts cafe, vegan eatery, and community space, Democracy* thrives on being an open, welcoming environment that also happens to serve killer vegan bites. Tofu Banh Mi and Big Mac pizzas are eye-catching offerings, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg in a stacked plant-based menu filled with share plates and sizeable entrees."

"Democracy on Locke understands that dietary restrictions shouldn’t stand in the way of access to delicious, indulgent food. The coffee shop sells plenty of vegan and gluten-free goods, allowing a wider demographic to come in and enjoy their food. While all of their food is great (have you tried their nachos?) we’re really big fans of their donuts."

"Democracy on Locke is a proudly vegan and vegetarian friendly café. Located on Locke Street, Democracy is a great spot for friends to gather and grab a bite to eat. Democracy’s extensive menu is ever-evolving, making sure to always incorporate both fresh and local ingredients."

"Bridges Café is McMcaster University’s answer to inclusive eating on campus. Operating as an entirely meat-free food service, Bridges Café makes sure that both students and locals have access to incredible food that suits their dietary needs. The Café makes for a great spot to go with friends, especially if you have all different appetites."

"The Hearty Hooligan does locally-sourced, from-scratch vegan cooking in their Ottawa Street cafe and bakery, and a tagline on their website says it all very simply: “keeping vegan trashy.”. That tagline is pretty fitting: one glance at their menu makes it clear that this ain’t your grandma’s vegan food. If you never thought you’d see fresh, thick & delicious pizza bagels or mac ‘n cheese burritos among a vegan restaurant’s offerings, then grab one of their signature cocktails or local craft beer selections and get ready to have your mind blown by The Hearty Hooligan."

"Known for carrying all vegan products, this Ottawa Street North store serves up some seriously good vegan ice cream. All of their ice cream is coconut milk based and made locally by Rudy’s. The flavours available at The Hearty Hooligan are always changing; the ice cream they serve depends on which ingredients are in season."

"This mighty little fast food spot is already a favourite in the city, even though their menu doesn’t have a scrap of meat or dairy in sight. You heard me right: Bring Me Some is Hamilton’s first all-vegan fried chicken takeaway spot, specializing in massive and wildly flavourful sandwiches that have no chicken in them whatsoever. Using their own special recipe for a plant-based chicken substitute, Bring Me Some’s brand new stand in the Hamilton Farmers’ Market has already found overwhelming popularity with locals, even earning praises from the non-vegan crowd for their sizeable sandwiches and chicken tenders with the perfect battered crunch."

"For those that are looking for either hiking trails or a nice place to cycle, Dundas Valley Conservation Area is the perfect spot. This beautiful area will certainly put you in touch with nature, as you walk for miles along the hiking trails. Here you can bring your dog for a walk or take your family out for a nice picnic."

"100 Cumberland Avenue at Sanford Avenue South Lifesavers Park is adjacent to the Lifesaver factory. It has a T-ball field, basketball court, an accessible play structure, and swings."

"75 Balsam Avenue North Brian Timmis Parkette is situated on the corner of Balsam and Cannon, and is currently under construction as part of the Tim Horton's Stadium Complex."

"Waterdown Memorial Park is a popular sports park featuring a lit soccer/football field, four softball fields, play equipment, a wading pool, a park shelter, parking, and washrooms. Little ones will love the sprinklers and misters. The surface is concrete and parts are rubberized concrete."
