| - My boyfriend and I see eye to eye on many things but when it comes to Fresh, Toronto's vegan go to, we always disagree.
Don't get me wrong, I love vegetarian food; I have to, I only eat fish but there is something not good about the place. First of all, it's expensive, especially when one is aware of how much a bloody can of chickpeas costs them to throw inside a stale wrap. Secondly, they don't do substitutions. How bloody difficult is it to exchange tempeh with tofu or pumpkin seeds with sunflower, especially when the item is already way overpriced. Isn't the vegetarian mentality to love animals and eachother? Or is the hippy kitchen staff too stoned to handle a distinction like that? Thirdly, the food is simply underwhelming - it's the kind of food a meat-eater would expect vegetarian food to taste like, thereby giving us meat-urge-suppressers a bad rap.
The only thing Fresh truly has to offer is the coolness factor. Unlike the majority of the Veggie restaurants in Toronto, Fresh actually has taken time to make its décor fun and well I guess Fresh. Maybe it was the design the owner was referring to when he gave his restaurant this undeserving moniker; there's no way he could be talking about the food.
