If your a plant based eater visiting Toronto - this place is an absolute must! As the name might suggest, everything is fresh & absurdly delicious. Their quinoa onion rings are what dreams are made of. Also, the restaurant is beautifully designed & styled.
I would tie this into a visit to the St. Lawrence market as they are very close.
