Jean's Vegetarian Kitchen at 1262 Danforth Ave (at Greenwood) is a new Thai-Malay vegetarian restaurant – a welcome addition to the meat-centric Danforth. NOW magazine rates them NNNN (out of five) in a recent review. They recommend Szechuan hot and sour soup (”virtuous veggie broth, crunchy Chinese 'shrooms, silky tofu”), Pad Kee Mau (pad thai plus “crisp cauliflower and broccoli flowerets, Thai-basil-scented sesame oil and surprisingly convincing faux shrimp”), and green curry with "duck" (”a dizzying mix of ersatz bird, baby bok choy and cubed bell pepper in light coconut broth”). Note: all the faux meats contain the dairy product, whey.
  Colleen enjoyed the Malaysian Curry ("really really good") and the Tom Kha Thai soup made with lemon grass, coconut milk and veggies.
  Egg and nut alert – most of the noodle dishes contain egg, and some dishes are garnished with cashews and crushed peanuts. The kitchen will gladly leave them out if requested.
  Open for dinner only Tue-Sun 5-10pm. Closed Monday, holidays. Cash only.

v M & B Yummy Classic Ethiopian food!  1263 Queen St W. (at Brock) in Parkdale, 416-516-2798
    They serve traditional Ethiopian cuisine made fresh to order.
  Update (March 19, 2007): Recently the owner has gone back and forth between serving meat or not. But now all her menu items are entirely vegan thanks to help and encouragement from a supporter named Antoine. Antoine approaches local restaurants and encourages them to add vegan options to their menus. M&B Yummy does serve cow's milk as an option for coffee, and some non-vegan cakes, cookies and breads that are made elsewhere. But there are vegan desserts form Sweets Form The Earth and vegan nanaimo bars from a local pastry chef.
  According to a NOW review in January: "To find Ethiopian food this fresh and this good is revelatory, but it comes at a cost. Regulars know to order ahead by phone and show up late." The review says to expect "low-rent donut-shop ambience" and a plasma TV, but "the welcome's genuine, the rattan chairs comfortable and the food ... often dazzling." The review goes on to caution that some dishes are very spicy and they use a lot of salt.
   The restaurant is open everyday from 10am to 10pm and serves all-day breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu includes sandwiches, traditional Ethiopian dishes like Missir Wot (lentils) Shiro Wot (chickpeas), Gomen (greens) and many more (including Ethiopian vegan "eggs" for breakfast!)
  The house combo – with several mains and injera bread (which is a huge meal) is only $7 (tax included)!

The Friendly Thai – L
500 Queen St. W. (e. of Bathurst), 416-366-1221
   Warning: Allison reports that the owners of The Friendly Thai "do not believe fish to be non-vegetarian" and have thus chosen to label as "vegetarian" several dishes which do indeed contain fish sauce, oyster sauce, etc. "Just so this note is not entirely negative, we were informed that the tofu satay with peanut sauce is vegan and there is also a coconut milk stir fry with cashews that can be made vegan upon request. Anything with a pre-prepared sauce, such as any of the curries and some of the pad thais, we were told, contains a fish sauce base even if labeled vegetarian on the menu and cannot be altered."
