Today marked a very exciting roadtrip for my fellow vegan girls and me. We travelled with our intrepid French ami and chauffer Alex to Toronto, where we dined in style at two fantastic restaurants. One of them, Urban Herbivore, has been a favorite of mine since I ate with serious frequency while living in Toronto last summer. It is the perfect place to grab a bite to go, or sit and enjoy a muffin, coffee, and gossip on a weekend morning.
On this particular day, my partner and I split a delicious salad and a sandwich.
The salad options at UH are unlike any other vegan restaurant (or omni restaurant, for that matter). For $7, you choose your greens and six toppings. Choices include tempeh croutons, roasted celery root, brocolli and cauliflower, sundried tomatoes, a variety of nuts, and other tasty items.
Our salad: spinach, brocolli, beets, celery root, alfalfa sprouts, cherry tomatoes, and roasted sweet potato. Topped with a ginger vinaigrette and eaten with chopsticks, of course.
Now, don't even get me started on these sandwiches. Freshly made buns with hemp butter, pesto, and olive tapenade. Layered with spinach, alfalfa, bruschetta, tahini, and your choice of filling. Today it was chimichurri gluten, but I also recommend roasted vegetable and bbq tofu.
If you are ever in Toronto, do not pass up a chance to eat at UH. (And take a few muffins for the road...trust me on that one!)
