Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Mississauga

"Take the "a" off of "Planta" and you will realize what this restaurant is all about (and it's not the hokey pokey). Marketed as plant-based cuisine rather than vegan, this fresh and airy restaurant specializes in delicious food from around the globe that any meat-eater would be proud to chomp. Planta burgers have queso, pickles, buffalo aioli and spiced fries."

"Upscale dining isn’t really my thing, however the food was good and I think Plant is a great choice for a nice dinner out that will appeal to omnivores and vegans alike. The interior of the restaurant is beautifully decorated and the food was creative and delicious. I certainly enjoyed my meal there, I just probably wouldn’t eat there very often."

"Find it: 180 Queen St. W., plantarestaurants.com, @plantaqueen. The atmosphere: Chef David Lee wowed Toronto foodies with Nota Bene, his Queen Street resto where well-heeled locals would head for the tasting menu. In a bit of a surprise move, the chef opened Yorkville’s Planta in 2016, a plant-based resto for the same style of patron."

"Kupfert and Kim uses organic produce when possible|© Kupfert and Kim. Perhaps the best option on the list for vegan and gluten-free eaters is this “wheatless and meatless” hotspot known for its organic, locally sourced smoothies, bowls and salads. Guests can also expect a slew of environmentally conscious touches, such as compostable takeout items, discounts to those who bring their own containers and an approach that produces little to no food waste whatsoever."

"Kupfert and Kim is one of my favorite grab-n-go breakfast and salad places in Toronto. Since they open at 7:30 AM its a great option for picking up a quick bite to eat for breakfast such as a smoothie bowl, gluten-free waffles or some house-made granola. They also have a wide variety of salad bowls that are absolutely amazing and are great lunch options."

"The general mathematical rule is that the more kale a Toronto restaurant has, the more expensive it will be. Healthy doesn't have to break the bank now that Kupfert & Kim have set up shop right in the heart of the financial district. Healthy gluten-free and meatless meals offer substantial fuel for long days at the office."

"In their relaxed cafe setting slightly hidden away on John Street South, vegan foodies can savour plant-based goodness in the form of hearty tofu bowls, satisfying salads & sandwiches, nachos, mac ‘n cheese, and tantalizing gluten-free baked goods. Live music routinely populates the restaurant’s front corner, adding even more to the chill communal energy that Planted has nailed."

"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."

"This is my favourite place to grab some vegan food and some vegan/gluten free baked goods. The food is always banging, fresh, flavourful and appropriate..."

"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."

"Restaurant and Bar, Healthy, Comfort Food, Brunch, Smoothies. This bright, open, casual restaurant and bar is located in the Queen St. West neighbourhood is open for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. They serve everything from loaded sweet potatoes to burgers, to smoothie bowls and creative cocktails."

"How many times have you gone out to brunch and been stuck eating the one token vegan item on the menu?. Hello123’s brunch/lunch menu offers a rich variety of clean, plant-based nosh any day of the week!. They’re experts in layering flavours for complex, colourful and delicious meals."

"Govinda’s is a hybrid vegan/vegetarian restaurant in a landmark building in downtown Toronto, just minutes from Yorkville. Their mission is to provide tasty, healthy vegan/vegetarian meals that satisfy the palate, foster good health, relax the mind, and raise awareness. All of their dishes are free of meat, fish, and eggs, and all of them are dairy-free, making them vegan-friendly."

"I have not dined at Govinda’s restaurant yet, though I tried their food on location at the Festival of India this past summer. The menu is mostly vegan and some items are vegetarian. You really can’t beat the price – a full buffet with the price of $10/adult, $8/student and $5/child."

"Phosome is a veg-friendly Vietnamese restaurant in Cabbagetown. They have a separate vegan menu so you can ensure that everything is prepared without animal products. Try the vegan pho, spring rolls, or spicy soup."

"Selam Restaurant offers vegan Ethiopian dishes through Selam Vegan, where all of the vegan dishes are prepared separately from the meat ones. There are tons of veggie main courses, sides, appetizers, and combos. You can also opt for a cup of traditional Ethiopian coffee."

"Lab Sense is a futuristic ice cream shop that prepares their ice cream and frozen desserts using liquid nitrogen. Not only is it unique, but they’ve definitely modelled themselves to be an instagram photo app spot. Inside Lab Sense you’ll find a pink flower wall at the front of the shop, and at the back you’ll find a ball pit!"

"Scoop Shopon Dundas West boasts natural, organic ingredients, sourced via connections with local farmers markets. Their daily ice cream flavours, waffle cones and cookies are all made from scratch on-site. While it’s a tiny shop, it makes up for little sitting space by being walking distance from Trinity Bellwoods, making it perfect for ice cream followed by a stroll in the park on a summer day."

"Hear me out: maid cafés we a concept introduced to Toronto from Japan, and they are the type of café where servers don black and white frilly maid outfits, and greet you with an enthusiastic “irrashaimase,” a greeting meaning welcome. Three days a week, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays, the servers also double up as performers, singing and dancing to Japanese pop songs. The café offers in-house drinks and desserts, including the Angel Hat cheesecakes that the original storefront nearby sells too, as well as items like matcha lattes and puddings."

"Head to Cabbagetown for cake flavours like funfetti and red velvet, filled with cream cheese, salted caramel, strawberry and more. Signature cakes include drippy cakes in nude chocolate or floral cascades. View this post on Instagram"
