5 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Toronto (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Thorne Savarin
By Thorne Savarin, Culinary Explorer · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

Toronto's vegetarian and vegan scene runs deep, and the vegetarian restaurants on this page prove it: 15,262 Google reviews between them, with the top pick alone carrying 6,824. That kind of volume on a specialty cuisine is unusual, and it means the ratings here are backed by a genuinely large sample, not a handful of enthusiastic regulars.

Short answer: The most-reviewed vegetarian restaurant in Toronto is KHAZANA Toronto | Indian Kitchen by Chef Sanjeev Kapoor (4.5 stars across 6,824 reviews), with Thindi Cafe (4.6, 2,184 reviews) and Buddha's Vegan Restaurant (4.6, 1,389 reviews) close behind on rating. Expect most mains to fall in the CA$10-30 range at the casual spots, with tasting menus running higher.

Watch: 5 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Toronto (2026)

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the restaurant’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Toronto vegetarian restaurants. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.6 from thousands of reviews carries more weight than a 4.6 from a few hundred. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a meal cost at a vegetarian restaurant in Toronto? (2026)

Mid-range dinner mainCA$20 - 30
Upscale tasting menu (per person)CA$60 - 100+

What to ask before you book a vegetarian restaurant

  • Is the kitchen fully vegetarian, or does it also serve meat dishes from a shared kitchen?
  • Can dishes be made vegan or adjusted for common allergies?
  • Is a reservation needed, especially on weekends?
  • Does the tasting menu allow substitutions for guests with dietary restrictions?
  • What’s the most popular dish, and is it available on the day you’re visiting?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these restaurants?

We started from every vegetarian and vegan restaurant in Toronto with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Are these restaurants fully vegetarian or just vegetarian-friendly?

Most on this list, including Thindi Cafe, Fresh Kitchen, Buddha’s Vegan, and Annalakshmi, are fully vegetarian or vegan kitchens. KHAZANA is an Indian restaurant with an extensive vegetarian menu alongside non-vegetarian dishes, so confirm your dish is meat-free if that matters to you.

Do any of these restaurants take reservations?

Some do, particularly for tasting menus at the higher-end option, while the more casual cafes are typically walk-in. Call ahead if you’re visiting with a group or on a weekend.

The bottom line

KHAZANA is the safe default on sheer review volume, while Thindi Cafe and Buddha’s Vegan Restaurant hold the highest ratings for a more casual meal. Whichever you pick, confirm whether the kitchen is fully vegetarian if that distinction matters to you.
