Hogtown Vegan - Vegan Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I really loved this restaurant Food - Mac and Cheez was perfect! Like so delicious and arguably some of the best vegan Mac I've ever had. There are bread crumbs and bakn bitz on there that may throw some folks off. - The Chikn Caesar wrap was absolutely perfect! Very flavorful. Very fulfilling. Misc There was an incident where a very upset Uber driver came in screaming and yelling. He then proceeded to curse everyone out yelling "Fuck everyone in here". While this situation is obviously not one that you welcome or expect I appreciated how the server handled the situation . read more

No trip to Toronto would be complete without indulging in Poutine! It was the primary reason for my visit to The Hogtown Vegan. The Poutine Dream ($14) showcased fresh-cut fries, seitan strips, crispy fried onions, Daiya cheese, and rosemary gravy. Regrettably, the seitan strips and crispy fried onions seemed to have missed the invitation to my plate. The cheese could have been more melted, but the rosemary gravy was the hero of this poutine! It delivered pure Thanksgiving bliss, making it truly exceptional and a delight to savor with each bite. The Southern Combo ($16) for dinner unveiled a trio of delights. The bacon collard greens were a standout, hitting the spot, although slightly on the salty side. The unChicken's texture was spot-on, but a more robust crunch would have elevated the unchicken even more. The sassy BBQ sauce created a harmonious infusion of flavor and was the best complimentary part of the meal. The mac n' cheez woke up my taste buds with its spicy kick of heat. While it may not have been intended to be spicy, I still enjoyed it. Additional notes: The server consistently displayed kindness, making a few thoughtful check-ins. The lighting, though a tad dim, set a cozy atmosphere. The downstairs bathroom might pose challenges for those with mobility issues. While it leaned toward the pricier side, the spot is an ideal haven for late-night vegan comfort cravings, catering to both vegans and non-vegans with its diverse appeal. Was it the best vegan food I've ever had? No. Was it on the pricey side? Yes. However, I believe they have room to grow. I also think it's a great place for beginning vegans and friends of vegans! For that, I'm giving it a 4. My true score is about a 3.7. *join me on my youtube channel as I explore Toronto's vegan scene, featuring The Hogtown Vegan! subscribe for more delicious plant-based content! https://youtu.be/LdQAZvxuo4g read more

I was absolutely delighted to discover this restaurant. A place that is dairy free and sesame free is difficult to come across. When you finally find one, you often find yourself regretting that discovery because it's not all that great. But here? The Hogtown Vegan? It was great. There are some amazing IPAs on tap for the grownups in the party, and there are some fantastic meal options. The burger passed the kid-test. And it past the adult-test. It's really good. I wish I was eating it right now. The chick-un fingers are very sneaky. Their fried and have a great texture, and when eaten without sauce you can taste what they're made of and the illusion might fall apart. However, one dip in the sauce, and you'll have no idea that it's anything other than a nice firm crispy finger! And, honestly, what are we doing if not eating all the sauce? The water is plentiful and comes in large glass bottles you can pour yourself, so you're never sitting around with an empty cup. And, beyond that, there are desserts. Desserts that are good! The waffle fingers are pretty tasty treats. I wish I ate them before my meal. Although, who am I kidding? I was never going to finish my meal anyway. The burger, and the fingers, came served on top of a basket of fries so large, they'd be a great table-share portion all on their own! In the immortal words of a former California governor... I'll be back! read more

Sort of a homely feel at this place. Love the simplicity of the place. Ordered soy pork nachos for starters. Great quantity and nice soy vegan meatless toppings. Loved the flavors. They can add little extra sauce though or a dip on the side. The southern meal had nicely done mac and cheese. My heart went gaga over the hibiscus rose herb tea. Must try. read more

I had been meaning to check out The Hogtown Vegan for quite some time and I finally did with some of my friends. Everything on their menu comes out fresh and hot! I decided to go with the Southern Delight along with a side of chilli cheese fries. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love chicken! The Hogtown does it even better! Their breaded and fried unChicken is better than real chicken and their mac 'n cheese is absolutely creamy and delightful. It comes with a side of BBQ sauce which is an excellent touch to their unChicken! I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Firstly don't get the impression that the food here is healthy because it's vegan. About 60% of the menu is deep fried. I ordered the brunch French toast, It was literally dripping in oil. I mentioned it to the waiter, He didn't apologize or offer to bring me anything else or give me a discount. They're obviously cooking it in oil at the wrong temperature. I wasn't impressed with the service, It was one of those I'm doing you a favor by serving you situations. read more

Great comfort food in a cozy setting. The seitan is the perfect texture, not too rubbery and not too soft. The fried tofu has a nice crispness to it. Greens were good but a few too many stems for my liking, and service was on top of things (noticed one of my items wasn't as specified and immediately brought it back before I even noticed). Only downside was the lighting - a little too dark for my liking, but overall a great experience. read more

It was my first time here and it was way better than I expected! My boyfriend and I dined on a Saturday evening around 7pm and it wasn't all that busy. We ordered the buffalo wings (5 pieces), nachos, the southern combo and deep friend cookie dough to share. They were all amazing, our favourite were the buffalo wings. I really enjoyed the Mac and cheese too, I couldn't even tell it wasn't real cheese. The portions for the mains like the southern combo and Mac and cheese on its own are pretty large, we definitely recommend ordering different plates to share so you can try all the populars. The fried cookie dough was really good too! I think the ice cream was coconut flavour but it tasted amazing. We were super full and satisfied after all that food. We both recommend this place and we're not even vegans! read more

There's a lot of comfort-style vegan food joints in Toronto, but in my opinion, this was one of the better options. Conveniently located on College near Kensington Market, Hogtown provided a delightful lunch with friendly staff. When my partner and I were there, we opted for the Caesar wrap with home fries and the mac and cheese as a starter. For the latter, these were definitely some of the best I've had anywhere, but certainly the best in Toronto. The cheesiness was just right and the sauce wasn't too thin or too thick. As for the Caesar wrap, it was a good size to share (they even split up for us without asking) and was a good balance of veggies and protein (I think they used tofu chunks of some kind). I believe there are a few side options to choose from, but I was glad that the potato-y option was home fries and not just straight up fries. I have nothing against fries (in general), but was craving something a little different than the shoe string variety, which was prominent elsewhere. Like basically everywhere else we went, the beer selection proudly represented local (Ontario) breweries and the IPA I got was quite excellent. And if you're interested in record shopping, take note that there a lot of great stores all nearby on College (the closest being She said boom!) read more

I have been to their Bloor location multiple times, so when I heard that they opened a new location of college I had to go and check it out. Same menu as the Bloor location, same greenish walls. This place has a patio but I'm writing this review on December so needless to say I didn't get to check it out. I asked the waiter if they had any secret menu items, he suggested the "Un-chicken Popeye". I was expecting a vegan version of Popeye's fried chicken, but it was more like a chicken pot pie with gravy on top (Pot pie, not Popeye!). I'm not complaining, it was delicious! Even better was the side of mac and cheese that came with it. Overall great experience, I'm glad to see more vegan restaurant opening in Toronto. read more

If you are vegan and live in or around the Toronto area there is a 99% chance you already know about Hogtown Vegan. I've been going to the Bloor location for almost 9 years now and I made my first trip to this location over the weekend. This location is pretty similar in style to the other one and the same can be said for the menu. The menu features an array of appetizers and entrees offering meat and dairy replacements for things such as chicken and cheese. I told myself I was going to try something new on this trip and before I could actually say what I intended to order there was a plate of chicken and waffles in front of me, looks like I can't even trust myself. The waffles were big and fluffy, the syrup was sticky and tasty, and the chick-un was some of the best vegan fried chicken I've had. Dish overall? Big thumbs up! Overall, Hogtown Vegan is one of a kind. The food, staff, and restaurant are all awesome and I couldn't recommend this place more. read more

This restaurant has many comfort food dishes from fries to burgers and nachos. This is a vegan restaurant. Nice little patio to enjoy in the summer or grab a beer. I enjoyed the food and atmosphere. read more

Open seating, we were one of two tables. There's an awesome patio for warmer weather I hope I get to one day enjoy. The menu is expansive and all vegan. They also offer beer and mixed drinks. Dry rub Cajun wings with dill ranch (9/10): Love the dry rub, a nice change of pace from the sauce covered wings. They're crunchy and huge! The dill ranch is the perfect blend, not too thick (like some ranch can be) Phish n Chips (9/10): That batter is...wow! I wish my chick'n was done up like that. The tartar sauce was on point, and none of it was too fishy. Just the perfect crunch and flavors. Unchicken Burger (9/10): Hi, I want this bun to move in and never leave me. The rest of the sandwich is great too, but I need more of that bun in my life. The party was crispy, the pickle was fresh, and the Mayo was just enough without going overboard. Spicy Espresso Brownie (10/10): I'm not usually a brownie fan, but this may have been the best I've ever had. Crisp edges yet so soft in the middle. The caramel sauce drizzle takes this up a notch. But the thing that makes this a perfect 10 is the oat milk ice cream. Sorry, but oat milk is the new black. I'm furious I chose to share this with my partner, a choice that will haunt my dreams. read more

I've been here a couple of times with my friend who's vegan. I'm not vegan so I was a little skeptical about some Of the menu items. Out of everything I tried so far, the poutine was definitely one of the best I've had in Toronto! The other items are good, loved the Mac and cheese as well. I think if I decide to come back it'll be for the poutine only. But otherwise it's a great option for vegans! The atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy and the service was wonderful! read more

I made a visit to Hogtown Vegan a few weeks ago to meet up with some friends for a Saturday brunch. I was a bit skeptical at first as I never had an authentic vegan food experience, however Hogtown Vegan has changed my mindset on it. We came at around 2pm and luckily the brunch menu was still on the table. There were a lot of interesting options to choose from that you would find at your typical diner. I decided to order their Southern Combo that comprised of their Unfried Chicken (tofu actually), Mac n' Cheese, Sauteed Bacon and Garlic Collard Greens and BBQ Sauce. I got to say, it was quite tasty. It truly resembled a plate that you would find in a classic American diner. The Collard Greens were a highlight as it was seasoned beautifully with the perfect amount of caramelized garlic. The Mac n' Cheese was nice and gooey like any non-vegan version we are normally accustomed to. The service was excellent as the wait staff was polite and friendly. The interior was warm and welcoming. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and I cannot wait to be back for my next visit. read more

My friend and I were both very hungry this morning so easily settled on the first place that advertised 'brunch'. Regardless of the fact that neither of us are vegan, we decided to try this place out and we weren't disappointed. It's a warm and cozy atmosphere that wasn't too busy on a Saturday morning (however, there was a steady stream of clients). The menu is fairly extensive covering a wide variety of Southern Comfort food. Both my friend and I went with our staples (just veganized). My friend had the Eggs Benny which she said was tasty and had an interesting texture (but reiterated that it was 'not bad'). The accompanying salad I didn't ask about but it looked fresh and looked really good to me. I had the Southern Combo. The unChicken was fried goodness and the BBQ sauce added a nice, smoky sweetness to the dish. The Mac n cheese was delicious, it had a slight kick to it but otherwise tasted exactly how one would expect. That I would order again. The collard greens were a definite miss; however, I may just not be a collard greens fan. My friend ordered the Bourbon apple pie. I don't know their secret but that crust is hands down the best thing I've had all week. You would expect to find it at one of the usual amusement park vendors. It was A-MA-ZING!!! The filling was really good as well. The oat ice cream was not a hit in my books. I know it's supposed to be a trend in 2020 but it's one I won't be indulging in again. Staff were friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was casual and price point was really reasonable for the amount of food you are given and the quality of the ingredients. I will definitely be recommending this place to my friends with dietary restrictions who miss those comfort foods like Mac n cheese, nachos, and ice cream desserts. read more

A quiet vegan restaurant with cool retro diner vibes. We got the chili "cheese" home fries, with a side of fried unchicken, and an omelet with chefs salad, with a side of guacamole. The home fries were quite...burnt. It wasn't crispy at all--it was actually quite flaccid--so I'm not sure how it managed to still be so charred. The fries also felt like they were old or left out for a while, as they weren't particularly warm and had that "next day fries" sort of texture. On the other hand, the unchicken was quite nice! If you are a fan of tofu, like me, then you will enjoy it. It's a lightly battered piece of tofu with good seasoning. If you aren't a tofu person, perhaps stay away from the unchicken--it's quite tofu-like. The omelet was, of course, not actually egg and had a tofu-like taste. Unfortunately, it felt very bland. The mushroom filling was nice but the omelet itself felt a little sad. The salad and guacamole was...well it was salad and guacamole, not much needs to be said. Perhaps it was the dishes we ordered, but this place sort of disappointed me as a vegan restaurant. I'm not vegan, but I sort of expected tastier food? Also, I feel like the cheese substitute they used did not sit well with me, so I'll have to give this place a pass on a second go. read more

Vegans, your indoctrination to southern cuisine starts here. Menu includes multiple variations of a meat and three where Mac and cheese is a vegetable (?!). Large portions and a cacophony of textures and taste that are exquisite. Poutine, not a traditional southern dish, is an homage to Canadian fare that was great. Only one server but she juggled the traffic well. There is patio seating and people enjoyed the outdoor space. Inside were booths and tables. If in Toronto you owe it to yourself to visit. Strange hours of 2-9 or so, so plan ahead. read more

One of my closest friends recently became a vegan, and while I'm not vegan, I am happy to dine in a vegan restaurant whenever I spend time with her. She lives in BC right now, but was in town for a short visit this past weekend. I had made a note of some vegan spots to take her to, and she was super excited about this one in particular. We decided to get a few different items to share so that we could try more items. I don't have much experience with vegan substitutes like "cheese" or "chicken", so I cannot compare with anything. However, I know what I like and what tastes good to me, vegan or not. We started with the fried shiitake mushrooms and a side of mac & cheese. The mushrooms were delicious. In fact, we were tempted to get a second order, but we refrained because we wanted to try more items. The mac & "cheese" was good, but the flavour of the vegan cheese was a bit strange for me. My friend said that when you stop eating regular cheese, the vegan stuff starts to taste better after a while. I didn't dislike it, it was just different. We also got the unchicken & waffles and the southern combo to share. We both absolutely loved the collard greens, definitely up there among the best I've had. She had never had them before, and was an instant fan. The unchicken was a good enough substitute that she commented that if it wasn't for the fact that she knew this is a vegan restaurant, she'd have questioned if it was actually chicken. The waffles (for me) were way too sweet, as the kitchen had already doused them in syrup. I tend not to use much syrup, if at all, so I did not enjoy them. The use of cinnamon seemed to heighten the sweetness level, so after one or two bites, I was done. My friend enjoyed them, so it's just a personal preference. I did mention to the server that it would be nice if the syrup was on the side, and she said she would let the kitchen know about the feedback. It seems the syrup is sometimes on the side, sometimes not, depends on who's cooking that day. The sweet potatoes also were a bit too sweet for me, but I left them mostly because I was full at that point. All things considered, it was a good meal. I'm happy to see more vegan places popping up, as it's sometimes difficult finding vegan options for my friend in some of my favorite restaurants. I'll probably return here the next time she's in town, or even sooner for those mushrooms! read more

My bff came here for lunch at 12pm today as soon as they opened. We shared nachos and guac, the Southern Combo and deep fried apple pie with oat ice cream - everything was absolutely delicious!! The Mac and Cheese was so rich and yummy- had a kick to it too. The meal came with three large pieces of "chicken" and was so good that you would not miss eating meat at all! Whether you're vegan or not, you will love this dish! It was pretty early for dessert but I'm obsessed with apple anything so I had to try the fried apple pie - and it was perfection! Perfect size for sharing too. My gf thought it was a bit too "fried" tasting but I didn't think so at all. The ice cream was delicious- rare for restaurants to serve this unique flavour and more of a reason to come back! I loved this restaurant and I think you will too! Definitely planning to come back in the very near future!! read more

Randomly came in to grab takeout for the first time today. I decided to get something I know would be fast as I was pretty hungry so I went with the poutine. It was pretty decent! The only thing is I hate mushrooms (yes, I'm probably the only vegetarian to hate mushrooms) and I noticed after I ordered that is what the gravy is made of. Anyways, I was surprised that the cheese actually tasted pretty good considering I haven't had good luck in finding a vegan cheese I actually enjoy (or one that actually melts for that matter, lol). My order came fast as well, less than 10 mins I would say. And even though I wasn't dining in, the host at the front offered me a drink of water which I thought was awesome. I'd definitely give this place another try but I'd opt to dine in instead so I can try other things off the menu and rate the customer service. read more

This was the second time I stepped into the College location of Hogtown Vegan, and they never disappoint. It was much busier this evening my friend and I decided to make a come back but we were lucky enough to get seats within 3 minutes. There were only two waitstaff at the time but I never felt ignored during my experience and received amazing service since they were so attentive. We started off with the evening special for the two of us to share which consisted of a loaf of fresh garlic bread and 10 pieces of unchicken wings in barbecue and buffalo sauce. The "wings" were delicious and came with a standard side of celery, carrots, and ranch. I would've enjoyed a couple more veggie sticks but no complaints considering how huge the servings are at the Hogtown Vegan. As an entrée I chose the southern platter - I really love their collared greens here! I could've enjoyed their collared greens on their own. The "chicken" was the same make as the "wings" which came with a side of barbecue sauce and the mac n "cheese" was equally delicious though a little salty. There is so much the Hogtown Vegan offers in terms of vegan comfort food I could see myself making a visit here for any occasion. Though it's on the pricier side, I definitely think it's worth a visit because you can't find vegan food as good as theirs! In my next visit I see myself trying a burger and one of their desserts served with vanilla oat ice cream. read more

Today I decided to try the Hogtown Vegan on College. I ordered their Philly cheesesteak and a side of chilli cheese fries through Doordash. Unfortunately, the quality and taste did not correlate with the price I paid for them. Firstly, the cheesesteak buns were pretty dry and didn't feel fresh. The cheese sauce noticeably lacks flavour and felt stiff compared to other restaurant cheese sauces. Lastly, although the chilli cheese fries looked tasty, they were pretty soggy and didn't taste nor feel fresh. Overall, I didn't enjoy my order and would not recommend it. read more

3 words: Shitake Fried Clams!!!! You can do just about anything with mushrooms these days and the Hogtown chefs really made like Ciara and "Level(ed) Up!" The batter is what really makes this a masterpiece. Crispy and crunchy with the right ratio of batter to mushroom. It's definitely something you gotta try! So the main reason we came to Hogtown was to try the Fried UnChicken and Waffles. It was exactly what you would expect - some fried soy protein on top of some sweet waffles. I'd have to say it was better than average especially accompanied by the sweet potato mash and collard greens.. it was southern comfort food right here in Toronto! We also gave a cheeseburger a try which was just ok. It wasn't bad but it wasn't something we'd order again like the SHITAKE FRIED CLAMS!!!! I would say the only downside about our meal was the dessert.. we ordered the chocolate mousse thinking it would be a size to share especially for the price but imagine our surprise when 3 teaspoon sized scoops of chocolate mousse came out haha We'd come here again but definitely not for the dessert read more

OMG!! Best vegan restaurant! M brought me here as a surprise and it was honestly the best surprise ever!! I have never been more impressed with the choices and the flavours of the food. At restaurants, choices are limited being a vegan...but here...all the choices were an option!

Both M and I were thoroughly impressed with everything and we genuinely had a great time. Can't wait to come back! read more

Absolutely amazing! A "must-visit" and any vegan. We went here for lunch on a Friday - it wasn't busy at all and we were seated right away. Our waitress dropped off some menus and some water for us to drink. The menu is huge. I mean, if you're vegan; having a menu that has more that 2 or 3 items you can eat is epic. This menu has a FRONT AND BACK of all vegan items. We were elated. We started with the chickun wings - dry rub Cajun with creamy Dill dip. They came out super fast and we're delicious! I ordered the phish and chips...WOW. The batter on the fish was to die for and the fries, well...they may be the best I've ever had in my life. Actually, as I write this review I kind of wish I had some more. My partner had the Unchicken burger. It was delicious, he kept exclaiming how great the bun was. We finish r off the meal with the spicy espresso brownie and ice cream. Oat milk is where it's at and the ice cream was as delicious as expected. The dessert was drizzled with a lovely Carmel sauce. My partner is not a big sweets guy, and he practically licked the plate. Fabulous time at The Hogtown Vegan - will definitely be back when we return in May. read more

When visiting from NY hogtown is usually one of my go to places to eat and I always recommend it to others. I came on a Monday afternoon so it there wasn't many people here at all and that was great for me. The server was nice and helpful and the food came out fast. I got the Philly cheesesteak and upgraded to a side of Mac and cheese. They were both great! I usually am not a fan of seitan but it was super good in this sandwich and thinly sliced. I had to cut it to eat it because it was a little too messy to hold but still tastes the same so whatever. Would come back for sure. read more

Wanted to spice some things up in life and try out Hogtown Vegan! Upon arriving, the restaurant was fairly empty as it was about 5pm at the time. The waiter immediately approached and seated us. I decided to order the Bacon Cheeseburger as my main meal and Chili Cheese Fries to share with my friend. I chose colesaw as a side for my burger. In all honestly, I didn't enjoy my burger very much. At the first bite, I thought it tasted unique, but as I progressed, the flavour became repetitive. The soy patty and tofu bacon were a unique experience, but were very lacking in the flavour department. The colesaw on the side was very sour. However, the burger was very large and a good size for its price. The fries from the Chili Cheese Fries were pretty soggy, but that is to be expected from all the sauce and toppings on the fries. In all honesty, I would not take another trip here. read more

If you are used to the Hogtown Vegan on Bloor some differences with this one are the patio and bathrooms are downstairs. Besides this the decor is very similar. We walked in on a Friday afternoon and they were very busy which was great, we didnt wait long at all. The menu is very similar to theqq Bloor street location. We ordered the Big Hog, the un-turkey sliders, and the bacon cheeseburger with fries supremacy. The waitress served and seated everyone in the place and didnt miss a beat. All said the quality was fantastic and we will be back again. read more

Love this place! Going vegan is hard. Looking for meat substitutes is hard. Salad is only good so many meals in a row before I want to throw it at a wall. And i still want a warm meal with umami. So this is the place to be! Southern combo was great, phish and chips were also quite good. We also had ceasar salad to share. All in all, great experience.

Good vegan food. Went for Sunday brunch with a friend who went to the other locations first. The college street location was less crowded, cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing. Good, personable and prompt service. Ordered the chili cheese fries and macaroni (meal) as our starters. They each arrived steaming hot and were delicious. About halfway thru Mac and cheese we both knew we were full, but our meals arrived so we continued. My friend had the the unchicken waffles and I the PB French toast. My was great, except I didn't love the 'bacon' not sure what it was but definitely prefer what they use at Fresh or frankly none at all. Took most of our meals homes and I enjoyed for lunch the next day. Food great, Service great Price very good Location great Ambiance, fine read more

Okay, so being a native of Austin, TX, a city with lots of vegan food and vegan food done well, you know I couldn't help but be a little skeptical of a place in downtown Toronto claiming to have vegan Southern food. I went into the restaurant with high hopes and low expectations but let me tell you, the food at Hogtown Vegan FAR surpassed anything I could have even DREAMED of! Started off with the nachos and to this day, still the best nachos (vegan or non-vegan) I've had in Canada. The spices were spot-on and reminded me of the flavors I'd have back in Texas, and the "cheese" was nice, melty, and saucy! Maybe I haven't gone to the right places in Canada, but all the nachos I've had at other restaurants didn't have an actual cheese sauce and so I was ECSTATIC to see that Hogtown Vegan are doing nachos the RIGHT way!! I got the southern combo and it was absolutely AMAZING!! The tofu nuggets were good, but the stars of the show were definitely the mac and cheese and collard greens. I am a HUGE mac and cheese girl and I just couldn't get enough!! It was creamy, the pasta was nice and al dente, and if I remember correctly, there was a nice and subtle heat/spice to it! The collard greens STILL blow my mind when I think about them. Traditionally, collard greens are made with ham hocks but somehow, the greens at Hogtown Vegan still manage to have all that salty and smoky goodness. Truly impeccable and I demolished the entire plate. I still have dreams about that meal and if I ever find myself in the downtown area again, I know I'll have to stop by! read more
