Fancy Pants Vegan Brunch Vegan Chef Doug McNish developed the new vegan brunch at the Windsor Arms Hotel. Jennifer writes: “Just to let you know I dined there last week and the food was awesome. We had the cornmeal crusted tempeh with the beet carpaccio and avocado tempura for appetizers. They give unlimited vegan foccaccio bread with hummus, sundried tomato spread and olive tapenade. We shared a brownie for dessert. Everything was very good and the price was very reasonable.”
TVA volunteer Karam blogged about it here: “As far as vegan brunch goes in Toronto, this is the place. You are not going to find this level of service and food quality at this price anywhere. And you’ll be comfortable in plush chairs and warm surroundings. Doug McNish and the Windsor Arms got it right. I look forward to making this my new brunch spot. My goal is to have a table here. I know, I watch too many mafia movies.” Preview the menu here!
