1085 Bathurst Street Toronto, ON M5R 3G8 Canada +1 416 537 8513 http://www.annapurna.ws/ |
This restaurant in the Annex is one of the city's original vegetarian spots. Around for a quarter of a century, the restaurant was serving tofu and bean sprouts before it became North American trendy. The food here is simple and nutritious, as is the forest green and earth tone decor. This is serious health food, with a menu that incorporates additive-free, low salt and low fat dining. Dishes include onion-based soups and Indian pancakes with fruit-based chutneys and Spiced Potatoes. For drinks, you have fresh fruit juices and Soy Milk. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Healthy eating made easy |
655 Bay St (at Elm Street) Toronto, ON M5G 2K4 Canada +1 416 596 9364 http://www.commensal.ca/ |
An import from Montreal, this self-serve franchise has taken health-food conscious Toronto by storm. The food is sold by weight (mostly per 100 grams) and the cafe is a haven for people with food allergies or convictions as to what they eat. The foods are labelled: vegan (no dairy or egg), ovo (no dairy), lacto (no egg). For those who are health conscious yet hesitant to order a plate of foreign food, Le Commensal offers a self-serve bar complete with detailed labels on every dish (25 to choose from).

Drinking, dining, dancing and exotic |
129 Peter St (at Richmond Street) Toronto, ON M5V 2H3 Canada +1 416 204 9660 |
This restaurant, bar and nightclub is a vibrant hub for those looking to unwind, groove to some sultry beats and grab a late night bite. In the summertime, a large, open-air patio fills up quickly and offers views of the eclectic crowds. This four-floor fun house is actually cozier than it sounds with tables, sofas and ottomans sprinkled about liberally. The kitchen offers up tapas-style appetizers including organic salads. Mains include pizzas, ancho chili BBQ back ribs, and blackened tofu burgers with sautéed mushrooms, guacamole and salsa. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Affordable Gourmet Vegetarian |
64 Oxford Street Toronto, ON Canada +1 416 927 1231 http://www.fressenrestaurant.com/ |
Located in the Queen Street West area, this restaurant serves vegetarian and vegan dishes with style. The menu offers standard veggie offerings such as hummus and pizzas, but for their main courses, the chefs opt for a creative flare. The emphasis on natural décor through plants and flowers creates a casual organic eating environment. Another gem is baked fresh in-house bread served with a selection of dips. Brunch and a juice bar are also popular with patrons. Most appetizers are under CAD8 and entrees are under CAD15, making veggie gourmet affordable for all. See website for menus and more.
