Planta Queen
Amazing Asian-inspired vegan eats
I recommend ordering a few of their smaller dishes to try, which should definitely include their renowned Bang Bang Broccoli!

Khau Gully
Best Northern Indian Food in Toronto
"Khau Gully" is my favorite Northern Indian restaurant in Toronto. Street food is its thing but it's best to sit in for its beautifully painted dining room

The Shameful Tiki Room
A night in Hawaii
The Shameful Tiki Room brings Polynesian-inspired food and an overwhelming list of tiki drinks — no jetlag required! One of the best themed bars around.

Gia Restaurant
Plant-forward perfection
With environmental sustainability in mind, Gia is a “plant-forward” restaurant, with the goal of sourcing produce locally, and organic when possible.

Aloette
Toronto’s best restaurant's cooler sister
"Aloette" in Toronto is an upscale bistro with a wider range of food. Their burger is definitely a staple, and their iceberg wedge salad is a sleeper hit!

Swatow
My go-to for hole-in-the-wall Chinese food
"Swatow" Toronto's been my go-to for that kind of Chinese food for years -- you know, the comforting, inexpensive stuff that's still plentiful & delicious.
