    The best vegetarian restaurants Toronto: Yorkville edition

    The best vegetarian restaurants Toronto: Yorkville edition

    Knockoff Italian eateries go heavy on the meat while authentic ones offer a large variety of vegetarian-friendly insalata (salad), antipasti and pasta. Here, the only thing you’ll be limited by is your imagination. If you want grilled eggplant and quinoa, marinated olives or gluten-free rice pasta, all you have to do is say the word. There’s no corkage fee for bringing your own wine on Sundays and Mondays, but the wait staff is always ready to suggest a label from the cellar.

    Spots to bring the girls in Toronto's Yorkville

    Spots to bring the girls in Toronto's Yorkville

    Toronto doesn’t have a single Michelin star restaurant but you’d have to believe that when the pros come to assess Toronto’s restaurant scene, Blu makes it into the conversation. The restaurant has a chic, intimate atmosphere with food that surprises and delights, like their wild mushroom risotto and crème brûlée. If you bring the girls here on a Friday or Saturday night, musician John Campbell will serenade you – and if you ask nicely, he just might sing your favourite songs.
