Toronto likes it both ways. One day we wolf down a steak, the next tofu tacos.
And our chefs eat that way, too. That’s why our most creative kitchens, from the glitziest downtown dining room to that hamburger joint on the corner, now put as much emphasis on vegetables as they do on meat. Look no further than the completely animal-free recipes provided by the Beast’s Scott and Rachelle Vivian and Cowbell’s Mark Cutrara. Yes, carnivores and herbivores can eat in the same restos after all.
We also name the top five exclusively vegetarian and vegan restaurants. Feeling peckish? Then eat here NOW!
