I am glad to say I dont think they have jumped on the "trendy vegan bandwagon", so prices there are pretty good (for Toronto).
Vegetarian Haven also has cute mock meat dishes and appys (like gluten drumsticks and seitan steak dinner), but if this isnt your thing this restaurant will amaze you by what they can do with a seasonal veggie dish.
Desert is perfect too, although I am usually too full to order it.
I reccomend the cookie soymilkshake.
I think its also owned by Daoist Buddhists who seem to love what they do, and this adds to the awesomeness of this place.
try hibiscus, just up the street in kensington... about 17 trillion times better and they actually put love, care, and passion into the preparation of their dishes.
Food is tasty, healthy, and allergy/cleanse friendly.
Servers all seem nice.
I think this place works well for either large or intimately small groups. The overall volume of the place isn't too loud, like at Fresh on Bloor (although I really enjoy eating there).
The food here is good, purple rice is better than white (and brown?).
I can't comment on the desserts, I'm not big on ordering desserts.
Hibiscus is pretty good. Kind of small though.
I've suggested to my workplace, that our staff social be held here this year.
It's veggies, and peas and beans and rice folks..Very inexpensive staples!!
All available fo pennies a pound at several Chnatown grocery stores just a few streets west!
Give your celery-filled heads a shake before eating here!
It's the same everywhere, however. You're paying for a meal, that you didn't have to prepare. From planning the dish, to collecting the ingredients, to chopping the vegetables, to actually making it...
Isn't the whole point in eating out, enjoying a meal, that you yourself did not have to make?
Sure we can knit or sew our own clothes, which don't always turn out. But in this case, the food tastes good. Veg Haven, as with ANY restaurant may be making a profit off what they're selling us, but we're not freely giving them money. We're getting a meal from them, AND a major daily service: food preparation.
