I’ve been working towards veganism and it’s been difficult.

HIBISCUS CAFE<\/a><\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"toronto<\/a>\"toronto<\/a><\/p>\n

Call ahead to feel out the crowd or make a reservation, because when I arrived for an early dinner, there was nearly an hour wait.<\/p>\n

It was so worth it. The restaurant was cozy, the staff sweet\u2014and beyond the photogenic decor and plates, the food was delicious. Greens were fresh; dishes were light, but filling. If you’re not a veggie lover or prefer your food over-salted or highly seasoned, you might not enjoy your meal (in which case, I suggest their fresh\u00a0buckwheat cr\u00eapes). “True” vegetarians (just in the sense of loving vegetables\/fruits first and foremost, in their plainest, hence “truest” form) will\u00a0love<\/em> it.<\/p>\n

URBAN HERBIVORE<\/a><\/h1>\n

Urban Herbivore is where you want a quick but filling bite. You can certainly sit in, but if I lived in Toronto, this would, without doubt, be my go-to spot for take-out dinners: it’s plant-based, it’s straight-forward, and the food is delicious. (I’m still dreaming about the dollop of pea pesto on my salad.<\/p>\n
