New Vegetarian Places to Eat

Tenon - Party Tray

Tenon Vegetarian Cusine in Markham. Lu writes “I have been [to] my friend's store many times because the food is so good. It's completely vegetarian (vegan friendly), however the food doesn’t look it. I have been vegetarian since 2002, and I have tried a lot of vegetarian restaurants in Toronto, but this one is so different, it's Japanese style, I like their sushi pizza and Montreal Roll the best, they are really delicious.”

The co-op force that brings you weekly vegan meals at Hot Yam! have now opened up Havest Noon also on the UofT campus. It’s open Monday-Friday from 10-2pm. They feature “locally-sourced, organically-grown, vegetarian meals with vegan and gluten free options." A full lunch will only set you back $5. See their website for weekly menu and to volunteer.

Niagara Region

Brooklyn's -Vegan cherry turnover

Brooklyn’s (Thorold, Ontario) Jason writes “Our vegan family were visiting Niagara Falls and were looking for a place to eat on Sunday. Friends suggested checking out a sports bar/family restaurant called Brooklyn’s just outside St. Catharines. We were so pleasantly surprised to find a separate menu that’s entirely vegan! We devoured the Potato Skins, the Smokin’ “Chicken” sandwich with onion rings, chimichangsas and a divine cherry turnover with a big dollop of whip creem. We would go back there in a heart-beat, falls or no falls!" UPDATE: Broolyn's now accpets the Vegetarian Discount Card for 10% off food (but not alcohol)

With great regrets

Liks Vegetarian Kitchen in Scarborough is no longer.
Boardwalk Chocolates has closed their doors, writing “I'm hoping it's not the end of my chocolate career, so I'll keep you posted if I move onto different pastures. It's also possible that Boardwalk might turn the florescent lights on again in the future, you never know. Thanks for taking a stroll on the Boardwalk :)”
