Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Whitby

"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."

"With several Planta restaurants in Toronto (and Miami!), each with a different theme and menu, Planta Queen has an Asian focused menu. All Planta restaurants are 100% vegan. They’ve got wok noodles, sushi, dumplings, small plates, and raw specialties."

"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!"

"Kupfert & Kim offers meals that are made to have a balanced mix of protein, vegetables, and fat, as well as a wide variety of vitamins and minerals. Since they come from plants, the proteins are complete, the carbohydrates are complex, and the fats are good. Every morning, new produce comes in its entirety and is cooked in each of their locations."

"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’s offerings will leave you happy and full|© Hello 123. What was once a family-run convenience store has been transformed into one of the coziest plant-based restaurants in the city. The tapas-and-more spot serves up classic vegan fare like smoothies and chia bowls but also offers more savory dishes such as veganized bibimbap and pulled pineapple sliders."

"Why go: Hello 123 is the cool, chill sister of Kupfert & Kim (the fast-casual go-to vegan and wheat-free eatery) now on Queen Street West. Their global menu (which includes an all-day brunch section) is plant-based, so all kinds of eaters can enjoy it. What to order: Any smoothie bowl or regular bowl, and the housemade patties!"

"A post shared by Hello 123 (@hello123forever) on May 25, 2020 at 7:39am PDT. Say hello to healthy and tasty grub!. This spot makes eating well as easy as 1-2-3."

"Stefano’s Sandwiches operates out of Ufficio restaurant, and they offer 100% vegan sandwiches. I can’t wait to try these sandwiches as I’ve heard such amazing things. Vegan turkey, chicken, corned beef sandwiches…it’s not like any other place in the city!"

"Craving the authentic Italian experience but you have to bring your vegan friend?. Maybe YOU’RE the vegan friend?. Regardless, Ufficio does pasta on another level!"

"We’d say Fresh has sure come a long way since the juice bar they started as in 1990. With bright whites, tall ceilings, exciting floor tiles, and exposed brick, Fresh on Front is one of the most beautiful and Instagram-worthy of its other locations. Tall, mid-century style velvet seats line the bar and welcome you to grab a drink, a bite to eat, and stay a while."

"Fresh on Front set out to challenge the idea that vegetarian food had to be bland, and they delivered. Housed in a historic Front Street mansion, guests are greeted by pastel pink barstools, geometric tiled floors and pretty pot plants. While Fresh has a few locations across Toronto, this is the first with a full cocktail bar."

"Papyrus is a veg-friendly Egyptian restaurant on the Danforth. Vegan items are denoted clearly on the menu with a V, and the majority of the menu appears to be vegan. I was really excited when I saw their menu posted on their front door as I was walking past one day, and I can’t wait to dine here sometime."

"Green Earth Vegan is a family owned and operated restaurant serving vegan fusion cuisine. Some of their most popular dishes are the pad Thai, the chick’un burger, and drumsticks. They also have nachos, sushi, curries, pasta, tacos…as you can see, it’s a little bit of everything!"

"A post shared by Caitlin (@caitlinjans) on Apr 20, 2019 at 8:33am PDT. The Stop’s Farmers Market at Artscape Wychwood Barns is a go-to-go place in Toronto and a long-standing facility and arts’ hub, which features a gallery, studios, and a farmers market. It has a good selection of baked goods and organic produce, from vegan food vendors to gluten-free and nut-free stalls."

"The Dream of China cake, with its strawberry mousse and passion fruit coulis, impressed McEwan. “Love the mini macaron and lovely tempered chocolate,” he said. “The passion fruit and berry work really well together.” 1419 Danforth Ave., $7.50"

"As if I couldn’t include Ladurée in this list of the prettiest pink places in Toronto!. Although it may not be Paris’ original, the Ladurée in Yorkdale mall is no less instagrammable. This adorable world renowned French patisserie offers everything from their famous macarons, to high-tea, sandwiches, soups and salads."

"Exchange Tower, 416-477-1029 + 3401 Dufferin St at Yorkdale Mall, 416-629-2391. Ladurée Cafe first opened its doors in Toronto’s Yorkdale Mall in December, 2017. A second concept recently opened in downtown Toronto in the PATH at Exchange Tower."

"Located just to the south of the Art Gallery of Ontario, Grange Park is a small green space but a lovely spot to catch a dose of the outdoors in the city. The area was originally part of the Boulton family Estate, built in 1817, of which The Grange is all that remains. Along with a children’s play area and off-leash dog area, the park is full of gems to discover."

"A post shared by Nish Chankar (@nishchankar) on May 9, 2018 at 2:29pm PDT. Yet another beautiful park in the core of downtown, Grange Park is a relatively new addition to the city and includes a gated dog park, a jungle gym, flowers and trees that provide just the right amount of shade."

"This market is built with love and it welcomes community wellness businesses, with a calendar that’s always full of activities, especially for kids. There’s a wide selection of local produce and products to choose from. Be sure to stop at Paul’s stall - they sell superb tomatoes."
