| - FULL DISCLAIMER: I'm a vegetarian!! I love vegetarian food! But as you know, some full on vegan/vegetarian restaurants really disappoint me. Not Fresh!
Fresh was one of the first places I tried in Toronto YEARS ago when I came to visit. Back on that trip, I was having intense problems with gall stones and stomach aches and wasn't able to enjoy my meal here. So, on my last night in Toronto, my dad and I decided to celebrate by going and trying it again.
Man this place gets packed! The tables are so tiny. You really feel like you're eating on top of your neighbor. Definitely not a place to have a private conversation.
Servers look as if they are straight out of an American Apparel ad. Very attractive, hipster type women.
This time around, the food was delish. Here is what we ordered.
HOT COCO WITH ALMOND MILK. Yummy. Let mine cool so it was just warm. Dad and I shared it as our "desert" before the meal.
FULL ORDER OF FRENCH FRIES: -1 star for the fact french fries do not come with a burger! But these fries are great. Really tasty and a nice treat. We got ours with some kind of vegan garlic aioli which may be some of the best veganase I have ever had? It was great.
ONION RINGS - In my mind, these are Fresh's trade mark item. Their quinoa onion rings are fun, crunchy, and tasty ... albeit a bit greasy sometimes.
LENTIL SOUP: Cup/bowls of soup are pretty big. My dad got some lentil soup and thought it was really tasty on a cool day to warm him up.
MUSHROOM BURGER: For some reason I decided to get the mushroom burger without the mushrooms, even though I love mushrooms. I just think I wasn't feeling it that day. I remember vaguely no substitutions which is okay I guess, but whatevs! Upon putting my burger together it was really messy although tasty. One of the better veggie burger patties I have had.
BBQ BURGER: My dad wanted a burger as well (celebration burgers anyone?) so he got the bbq burger, which was even MESSIER than mine. But he managed to finish it!
Both burgers came with a salad which I actually really enjoyed.
All in all, I liked my second go at Fresh. When back in Toronto, I will definitely swing by Fresh for some great vegan food!
