I had not brown bagged that day and it so happened that I was extremely late for lunch. So around 3pm I venture out and within a short walking distance from my office I see this plant based takeout place in The Path. I see the picture of the Shitake Burger and my stomach growled. For about $11 including taxes I get a brown bag and rush back to the office. First impressions - did not look anywhere close to the picture in the store which luckily I had clicked. Aside from not looking as advertised I began to chow down. As you might relate to this - when you are starving anything you eat seems delicious; however it this case it was the opposite the burger missed the mark. My assumption was that there were pieces of fresh mushrooms, this tasted as soy mushroom processed pieces that I have tasted at Asian restaurants. This seemed run of the mill rather than the uniqueness I was hoping for. The toppings bothered me as well as it was too unflavoured. The over done bread/bun that didn't look like the picture wasn't helpful either.

Baked fries

We went to Copper Branch at Heartland for a casual Sunday brunch and ordered the spicy buffalo wings with garlic aioli and hot sauce and the carrot keftedes also with garlic aioli. The buffalo wings were the star of our meal! We were surprised by how meaty and juicy the wings were! They came with a handle which made dipping a breeze. On their own, the wings tasted mainly salty and grilled, not spicy as their name suggests. The garlic sauce provided the real flavour and it was a perfect creamy, garlicky blanket for those wings. I just wish the serving size had been larger. The hot sauce just added more salt, so I don't recommend it. In the end, the wings were tasty but 6 wings cost us 16$+ tax and I think that's way too steep for an appetizer-sized dish. And to top it off, Copper Branch charged me extra for a second, teeny dipping sauce! The carrot keftedes were baked balls of carrot, garlic, turmeric, fennel seeds, onion, fresh mint, organic chickpea flour, organic cornmeal, organic sunflower seeds, nutritional yeast, organic corn flour and spices. The balls sounded nice on the menu, but they were just not that interesting IRL. Mild in flavor and soft in texture, I won't be ordering this dish again. Our friends were kind enough to let us sample their fries. Nicely seasoned and baked, the fries were not as crispy as I usually like, but they still tasted delicious and we still ate a lot of them! Try the hot almond chai latte. It was the right balance of creamy, sweet and nutty. So good! Let me know what you think about the wings!

Pretty good for a vegetarian lunch. I was certainly full but I didn't feel the weighty-ness that you would get from eating a large beef burger.

What's its supposed to look like :)

As a vegan, I want to like this place so much, and we need places like this so bad in the financial district, but I can't, I can't go to Copper Branch any more. After about the 5th attempt, and trying something different every time, I gave a breakfast item a go, the South West Wrap Scramble. It's as if whoever made it threw everything on a crumpled wrap and used their fists to roll it up. The ends weren't closed in the least, so the excessive liquid poured on the paper wrap, down my fingers and my arms, and food just kept falling out. Taste wise, I'd give it a 7/10, so not great but not terrible, but it might have been the "best" tasting thing I've had there. This place is so convenient for me, and exactly the type of food I need, but I won't be returning.

Not photogenic but tasted DELISH! Mushroom Galaxy Burger $8.95+tax - oven roasted portobello mushroom, eggplant, caramelized onions.

This review is based on my first experience only. The staff: definitely could have been more friendly. Maybe they had a really busy lunch service. Will forgive the slight attitude I received on this take out order. Food I tried the Mushroom Galaxy Burger - oven roasted portobello mushroom, eggplant, caramelized onions, Swiss style 'cheese', lettuce and aioli. It was DELICIOUS. Very flavourful and well seasoned. The soft sesame bun was super fresh. For me a sign of good vegan/vegetarian food is that you don't miss the meat. This burger makes you forget that it's vegan. Cost/Value My only gripe is, the cost. Like all vegan food, it's rather expensive. This small burger alone would definitely not be filling without a side. The burger is $10 after tax. That being said, I'm excited to go back and try everything else on the menu!

Tofu chicken wings
Em C.

The tempeh sandwich was way too sweet, soggy and otherwise tasteless, took a bite and threw it out. The tofu chicken wings (that should be called chicken drum sticks ) were way overpriced for the size.

I'm not vegan/vegetarian at all, but I enjoy eating meatless meals from time to time. I had the aztec bowl with the smoked tofu cubes and I was surprised just how much I enjoyed my bowl. The corn chips gave the overall box a nice crunch. The tofu cubes on the other hand were a little tough to chew. Even though I consider the price a little expensive for fast food lunch, I'm glad they at least stuff the box to the brim. Will defintely come back to try their other offerings.

Crab cake burger

I'm literally writing this as I finish my burger from Copper Branch. I rarely do this, usually, I need a lot of time to digest the place before I decide to write an informed review. I have to sadly give this place a 3.5 star, and I'll explain why I took off 0.5 stars. This is a 100% plant-based restaurant. It's located in Commerce Court so you get the hustle bustle of the financial district crew. You can see them preparing meals even though no one is there. With that said, there was no wait when I went. I decided to try their crab cake burger, I originally was thinking of a power bowl but their crab cake burger is limited. And I'm intrigued to have crab cakes that aren't crab. The burger was delicious and decent sized. Honestly, you can't even tell it's not real crab. It of course does not have the strong seafood taste but it tastes pretty close to a crab cake. The bun also tastes amazing. Unfortunately, there was no alfafa sprouts in my burger (per advertised) so that was a huge disappointment..I really like alfafa sprouts so I wasn't pleased to not see it in the burger. Yes, the burger still tasted amazing without the sprouts but it is a no-no to not include a key ingredient in the burger if your menu lists out. Despite that, I am still curious to try their other options here, so I am willing to give it a second chance.

Eww. I got the quinoa breakfast bowl, and it is literally hunks of dry quinoa, huge soggy chunks of overripe banana, and hot pineapple with coconut on top. And I gave them about $6 for this gunk... Inedible and disappointing.

I've heard some conflicting reviews about this well-known vegan restaurant, but I'm quite…read moreimpressed! I feel that the price point is actually very reasonable given the portions and quality of ingredients. A disclaimer that I've only tried their noodle dishes and not the sushi (I do like my seafood haha), but these are fantastic - rich in flavour without being overwhelmed with salt and sugar (the typical fallbacks for vegan food). Highly recommend the truffle fried rice and the Singapore noodles! The fact that the food seems to be relatively healthy (at least psychologically...) is of course a plus as well. The interior is fairly upscale, the dim lighting and elegant decor contributing to a muted but lovely ambiance. I do love a place that allows you to have a conversation at normal volumes! Service is always excellent without fail, the staff is helpful but not overbearing. A must for anyone who's vegan, vegan-curious, or simply searching for some great food in beautiful surroundings!

My new hyperfixation is Planta…read more I say as a meat eater this is the best vegan sushi place in the city. Gluten free menu options available! Service is so friendly and the food is amazing everytime I come here or order takeout. This is a fantastic place to go to for birthdays, dinner dates, family gatherings, or just solo dates.

I was having one of those days where I felt a little under the weather and the last thing I wanted…read morewas heavy, greasy food. I was downtown and stumbled upon this grab-and-go spot, and it was exactly what I needed. I ordered two burrito bowls and a soup, and the total was around $50. Honestly, it was worth every single dollar. What really sold me on this place is how precise they are--they literally measure out every portion of protein, vegetables, and fats. It's awesome for anyone who's tracking their intake or just appreciates getting a perfectly balanced meal. Beyond the great food, the staff was super friendly and genuinely helpful. The prices are totally fair for the quality you get. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area and looking for a quick, healthy bite.

When looking for healthy lunch options in the Downtown Core, I stumbled upon Mad Radish on Uber…read moreEats! This is considered to be a healthy food joint that provides bowls and wraps. They had so many variations of these bowls and lots of vegan and vegetarian options to choose from. The service via Uber Eats was quick and had no issues with that. When it came to the food, I was certainly underwhelming. I was not a fan of the Smoky Chipotle bowl and had thought I would love it based on the ingredients in the bowl. I found it lacked flavour and was just completely bland. The sauces had a weird aftertaste and I just did not enjoy the bowl overall. I hope the rest of their bowls are good and I just got a one off not pleasant one. I don't think I would be ordering again from this place. 5/10 recommend!

I was incredibly excited to enjoy PLANTA here in Toronto. I've had them twice in Chicago and in LA,…read morebut being able to indulge in their signature vegan dishes at a slightly discounted price made me an extremely happy eater. We made a reservation (highly recommended) which they were able to pull up since we got there 30 minutes early and starving. The entire restaurant had a beautiful, high end vibe without prices being too high for its own good. We started off with their delicious Bang Bang Broccoli and Kimchi Chick'n Baus, both of which I'd easily come back for more if this was a buffet line. The bang bang sauce was absolutely sensational and we dipped our tasty baos in it afterwards. For our mains, we divided up their Volcano Roll, Kelp Caesar Salad, and a Hawaiian Pizza. The roll was alright (I've had better at vegan sushi restaurants) but the salad and pizza were both extraordinary. In particular, the salad sent me and was a complete flavor and texture bomb. Highly recommend everyone getting this to share as it was an absolute standout. As much as we wanted room for dessert, our hunger was just too much from not eating all day. Everything here definitely hit the spot and would definitely return again the next time I'm in Toronto.

Planta Yorkville offers an outstanding dining experience from start to finish!…read more Their happy hour deals are incredibly affordable, which adds to the overall value of the dining experience.
