 Pioneer in its class |
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).

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.

Delicious and cheap |
238 Dupont Street Toronto, ON M5R 1V7 Canada +1 416 929 9140 |
Hands up anyone who knows a place where they can get a delicious and healthy meal for a low price. This miracle place goes one better. Naturally, it's an in-spot for University of Toronto students. There's also a takeaway counter, popular with moms and pops who work all day. Owner-chef Mike May combines influences from Africa, the Caribbean, Asia and Europe to create a cuisine that includes Dhal Soup, curry, and Shepherd's Pie. Not to mention the six styles of roti.

Indian cuisine at its best |
14 Prince Arthur Avenue Toronto, ON M5R 1A9 Canada +1 416 962 4678 http://www.welcometohost.com/ |
Located in a historic building at Avenue Road and Prince Arthur, this restaurant is recognized for its fine Indian cuisine at affordable prices. Steps from the prestigious Park Hyatt and Four Seasons hotels, it is perfect for business lunches, intimate dinners and group dining. While the Kesri Tikka (a Tandoori chicken dish) and Haryali Champey (marinated lamb chops) are excellent, it is the vegetarian fare that makes this restaurant a treat. Dishes include the Malai Mater Paneer (green peas and cottage cheese cooked in tomato and cashew blend), and Saag (fresh spinach puree with potatoes). Review © 2007, Wcities |
