Re: Fave Pizza at Insomnia Restaurant Bar Loun

Nice Fave! I've always wondered if they had cheese-less pizza in the city - will definitely try it out! Howie

Vegan bakery

Fave it!

Sweets from the Earth
Various vegetarian restaurants and natural food stores, Toronto

Their brownies are just sweet and chocolately enough. I don't think there's an actual retail location of this bakery, but I've purchased their desserts from Fresh, Noah's and the Big Carrot.

Place to Spot a Celebrity

Fave it!

Elgin & Winter Garden Theatre
189 Yonge St., Toronto

You'll definitely see celebrities on the red carpet during the gala screenings, but I've also seen Rachel McAdams and Colin Firth walk in like, uh, normal people.

Payless ShoeSource
Multiple Locations

I can't walk in heels, and I love Payless's selection of flats - I bought a shiny red pair and fancied myself an Oz-zie (as in somewhere over the rainbow, not Australia.)

Magic Oven
Multiple Locations

Unlike Insomnia, Magic Oven's menu actually features vegan pizza (I just used to order the pizza at Insomnia without cheese.) They have many vegan, veggie, gluten-free and organic options, and serve pasta, sandwiches and soup in addition to pizza. It's a good alternative to fast food if you're a vegetarian on the run (you don't have to custom order anything as they have ready-made veggie food) and some locations deliver!

organic grocery store

Fave it!

Whole Foods Market
87 Avenue Rd., Toronto

I like the smaller stores that sell organic, natural and vegan products as well, but Whole Foods has a lot more selection if you're looking for organic fruits and vegetables or hard-to-find products. And they recently banned plastic bags. It's a trendy, expensive place to shop - I can't afford to buy everything I need there - but it's always fun.

Thai Basil
467 Bloor St. W., Toronto

The lemon grass soup is amazing - it comes with mushrooms. I always go there for their lunch special - it's served until 5:00 and is pretty cheap.

Udupi Palace
1460 Gerrard Street East, Toronto

I don't usually go to Indian restaurants, because my mom's cooking is always a zillion times better. But if I must, I go to Udupi Palace on Gerrard Street. The South Indian restaurant is 100 per cent vegetarian, and the dosas they serve are so big that I've seen diners take pictures of them. I, however, always order the channa bathura (chick peas and puffy-ish bread). The chick peas are normally really spicy, but you can request a milder dish.

Fresh By Juice For Life
Multiple Locations

Try it with mint. I love the carrot cake here too.

Pizza

Insomnia Restaurant Bar Lounge
563 Bloor Street West, Toronto

I've been a longtime supporter of cheeseless pizza, and I will continue to defend it, even as a non-vegan. Each type of pizza at Insomnia is named after a street or neighbourhood in Toronto, and the ones I've ordered without cheese don't taste like they're lacking anything. I especially recommend the Rosedale - the pesto and spinach more than make up for the "missing" cheese.

gelato

Dolce Gelato
697 College Street, Toronto

When I was a vegan, I found that people often mistakenly assumed I was a really healthy eater. But I always found many, many ways to satisfy my sweet tooth. Dolce Gelato serves several kinds of dairy-free gelatos (called sorbettos). They're great alternatives to soy ice cream and flavours include blueberry and green apple.
