Best Vegan Restaurants in Mississauga

"Take the "a" off of "Planta" and you will realize what this restaurant is all about (and it's not the hokey pokey). Marketed as plant-based cuisine rather than vegan, this fresh and airy restaurant specializes in delicious food from around the globe that any meat-eater would be proud to chomp. Planta burgers have queso, pickles, buffalo aioli and spiced fries."

"Upscale dining isn’t really my thing, however the food was good and I think Plant is a great choice for a nice dinner out that will appeal to omnivores and vegans alike. The interior of the restaurant is beautifully decorated and the food was creative and delicious. I certainly enjoyed my meal there, I just probably wouldn’t eat there very often."

"Find it: 180 Queen St. W., plantarestaurants.com, @plantaqueen. The atmosphere: Chef David Lee wowed Toronto foodies with Nota Bene, his Queen Street resto where well-heeled locals would head for the tasting menu. In a bit of a surprise move, the chef opened Yorkville’s Planta in 2016, a plant-based resto for the same style of patron."

"Kupfert and Kim uses organic produce when possible|© Kupfert and Kim. Perhaps the best option on the list for vegan and gluten-free eaters is this “wheatless and meatless” hotspot known for its organic, locally sourced smoothies, bowls and salads. Guests can also expect a slew of environmentally conscious touches, such as compostable takeout items, discounts to those who bring their own containers and an approach that produces little to no food waste whatsoever."

"Kupfert and Kim is one of my favorite grab-n-go breakfast and salad places in Toronto. Since they open at 7:30 AM its a great option for picking up a quick bite to eat for breakfast such as a smoothie bowl, gluten-free waffles or some house-made granola. They also have a wide variety of salad bowls that are absolutely amazing and are great lunch options."

"The general mathematical rule is that the more kale a Toronto restaurant has, the more expensive it will be. Healthy doesn't have to break the bank now that Kupfert & Kim have set up shop right in the heart of the financial district. Healthy gluten-free and meatless meals offer substantial fuel for long days at the office."

"In their relaxed cafe setting slightly hidden away on John Street South, vegan foodies can savour plant-based goodness in the form of hearty tofu bowls, satisfying salads & sandwiches, nachos, mac ‘n cheese, and tantalizing gluten-free baked goods. Live music routinely populates the restaurant’s front corner, adding even more to the chill communal energy that Planted has nailed."

"While most of us are self-isolating at home, it can be easy to say “screw it” and nosh on some junk food for lunch. Don’t get us wrong: we love our chips and chocolate too. But when your body needs a break and you want to switch it up to something both delicious and healthy, Planted in Hamilton has got you covered."

"This is my favourite place to grab some vegan food and some vegan/gluten free baked goods. The food is always banging, fresh, flavourful and appropriate..."

"Hello 123 is the spot to do it, because a vegan or vegetarian brunch might just be the best way to ease into plant-based dining. Hello 123 (a sibling to another plant-based Toronto hot spot, Kupfert & Kim) has the perfect trellis-covered patio space to dine on a boozy, colourful brunch. The chic white patio is calling out for some Instagram or TikTok-friendly content creation, so come hungry and prepped for a mini photo shoot."

"Restaurant and Bar, Healthy, Comfort Food, Brunch, Smoothies. This bright, open, casual restaurant and bar is located in the Queen St. West neighbourhood is open for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. They serve everything from loaded sweet potatoes to burgers, to smoothie bowls and creative cocktails."

"How many times have you gone out to brunch and been stuck eating the one token vegan item on the menu?. Hello123’s brunch/lunch menu offers a rich variety of clean, plant-based nosh any day of the week!. They’re experts in layering flavours for complex, colourful and delicious meals."

"Sample a taste of Armenian cuisine at this Middle Eastern restaurant. The dishes offered include meat skewers, lamb chops plate, Armenian Pizza and others- no wonder they’re one of our restaurants of the week!. They’re available for takeout and delivery on all platforms and on Ritual as well."

"One of the favorites amongst locals in Toronto, Buddha’s Vegetarian Foods is one of the best Chinese vegetarian restaurants in Toronto. Serving some of the amazing mock meats, this jewel of a restaurant is a crowd-pleaser in every sense possible. Sitting in the Kensington Market, this restaurant never fails to impress even the meat lovers with their crispy ginger veggie beef, veggies on crispy noodles, mock duck, soya steak, and more."

"Come down to Buddha’s Vegetarian Restaurant to savour some Hong Kong style vegan and vegetarian food. This place has been serving up regional specialities like imitation duck since 1991, and they’re every bit as satisfying and delicious as the meat-filled counterparts. 666 Dundas St W | website"

"Buddha’s Vegan Restaurant has been around forever – since 1991!. They used to be Buddha’s Vegetarian, but they’ve always been a predominantly vegan establishment, so the name change reflects this better. It’s one of Toronto’s oldest vegan Asian restaurants and it’s beloved by many."

"Rosalinda is a 100% vegan restaurant featuring seasonal produce and a great wine list. They were an entirely Mexican restaurant when I visited, but it seems like they’ve changed their focus to burgers, pizza, and pasta (comfort food). I’m personally a little confused by this – there are so many spots in Toronto with pizza and burgers, and they were unique with the Mexican food menu."

"Rosalinda is a new feel-good vegan Mexican restaurant located in the Financial District at Richmond and York. Think coconut civiche, chilaquiles, tostadas, tacos and plates such as the chorizo verde and quinoa bowl with charred broccoli, fennel and chimichurri. And YES, they have churros on the menu!"

"A post shared by Rosalinda Restaurant (@rosalindarestaurant) on Jan 1, 2020 at 5:10am PST. Come winter, some people just want to dip their toes into Mexican sands. If that’s you, we can’t help."

"Simon’s Wok is a vegetarian Chinese restaurant that’s vegan-friendly, just as long as you omit egg from some of the dishes. They’ve got lots of great mock meats and you’ll receive complimentary hot Jasmine tea. I’ve read some reviews that Simon’s Wok is cash-only, so be prepared for that just in case."

"After your museum visit, take a leisurely stroll around the University of Toronto district nearby. There are many Gothic Revival buildings worth exploring and capturing. When you’re tired, take a break at Sorry Coffee. Tucked at the back of the Kit and Ace store, this little café is a popular spot among locals."

"21 Doughnut aficionados no longer have to make the pilgrimage to this Hamilton-based bakery for their yeast-risen rings, now that the brand has a booth at Stackt, Toronto’s new shipping container market. The selection changes daily, but their roster of rotating flavours has included lavender-lemon, blood-orange hibiscus, raspberry-habanero and the #Hamont Cream-Filled, Donut Monster’s take on the beloved Boston Cream. There is no wrong choice."

"This is one of our all-time favourite spots to hang in the city. Not only is there plenty of room for kids and pets to run around, but you can also enjoy great eats and drinks at their three patios. Depending on your mood you can either grab food from the various vendors on-site or enjoy a sit-down experience."

"Shop under the expansive glass atrium while a flock of Canadian geese soar overhead the busy shoppers travelling between multiple levels by means of the steely escalators. Start off your day of retail therapy with a dark chocolate elixir from the famed chocolatier, Godiva, while browsing their collection of melt-in-your-mouth truffles, crunchy giant turtles, and chocolate-dipped strawberries. Stroll through the hallowed halls of Nordstrom to admire a luxe assortment of sparkly sequinned evening gowns and pricey designer shoes."

"The Eaton Centre is eastern Canada's largest shopping mall, and Toronto's top tourist attraction. Each week, the mall plays host to more than 1 million visitors, who come to shop to their hearts' content at more than 230 stores spread across 1.7 million square feet of enclosed space. The Toronto Eaton Centre offers fashion from some of the leading retailers from Canada and around the world, including Steve Madden, Aritzia, Coach and Forever 21."

A mall wouldn’t normally appear on a Culture Trip list of must-visit attractions, but the Eaton Centre isn’t your average mall. Attracting around 50 million visitors each year, this Toronto institution is the busiest mall in the whole of North America – even busier than Minnesota’s gargantuan Mall of America."
