From Planta's fine-dining tasting menu to late-night plant-based burgers — Toronto's best vegan and plant-based restaurants ranked for every occasion.
Toronto's plant-based food scene has exploded over the past decade. Fully vegan restaurants now compete with the city's best omnivore spots — and often win. Whether you're fully vegan, plant-curious, or just looking for something different, these places are worth your time.
For the Sweet Tooth Bunner's Bake Shop (Roncesvalles + Kensington) is fully vegan and makes the best cinnamon rolls and cupcakes in the city, full stop. Not just 'good for vegan' — genuinely great baking.
Toronto's plant-based restaurant ecosystem is one of the strongest in North America, and the reason is the city's demographics. With 200+ ethnic communities represented in the population, the demand for plant-based food is structurally enormous — South Asian vegetarian traditions, Jewish dietary practices, East Asian tofu and temple food cultures, and Caribbean Ital cuisine all contribute to a city where plant-based eating has deep roots long before it became a trend. Chefs arriving in Toronto from these traditions brought extraordinary cooking skills into the vegan space. The result is a restaurant scene where plant-based food isn't a compromise — it's genuinely excellent cooking in its own right.
