Cafe 668, 885 Dundas West, at Claremont, 416-703-0668
We’ve named this innovative vegan eatery best in its class so many times – including NOW’s restaurant of the year regardless of genre back in 02 – that it should almost be removed from consideration. But this year, Hon Quach and partner/chef Ngoc Lam’s Southeast Asian veggie joint literally moved into the big time with classy new digs a few blocks west of the low-key spot’s original location. While the decor has definitely moved upmarket, 668’s health-conscious card is as appetizing and affordable as ever.
