Vital Root

Love this place! They get really creative with healthy ingredients and the menu is packed with variety. I was really impressed with the level of freshness their ingredients have. I was in a party of 5 and got to experience the falafel wrap, Cobb salad, chicken and waffle, Reuben sandwich and the Korean stir fry. If you’re looking for a healthy option that doesn’t sacrifice taste, I promise you won’t be disappointed with this place.

Vital Root (and the Edible Beats family of restaurants) is so unique and expert at creating incredibly tasty dishes and specialty sauces. I am vegetarian, and as we all know it’s hard to find quality choices at other restaurants. My favs here are the Vital Cobb salad (filling enough for 2meals), Korean BBQ “wings”, beets, risotto among others. These chefs are expert at creating unique flavors & textures that are perfectly balanced for each dish. Even drinks are well thought out flavors and unique. A must go for anyone who wants healthy tasty food.

Staff very friendly, 100% gluten free restaurant, ambience really lovely, fast delivery of food. Two dishes we got here were amazing. The falafel and the waffle dish. The sunflower risotto was not edible though, for me. I had asked the staff what was a popular one and she listed that one but I couldn’t eat it. Everything is gluten free so I assumed there would be gluten free risotto with some sunflower seeds but it was just a mash of sunflower seeds. Other than that, highly recommend.

This place is a fully gluten-free, vegan, non dairy kitchen, so I can eat anything here. Wahoo! Score! I have several things from the menu egg sandwich and tacos. They were all good. I also looked at the decor of the restaurant with garden area with grass inside the tables. The wood carved tables and many others art work. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would totally go back to this business. Go try it out for yourself. They also have outdoor seating and bowls for your dog.

Stopped in for a quick lunch to go. The root vegetable pastrami had a weird taste and the cheese, I assumed was plant based since everything else was, was listed as Swiss. I was unable to eat it after checking the online menu. It was a beautiful spot though and I would definitely go back to try something else, after reading the menu more throughly.

This is one of my favourite vegan restaurants in the area. I recommend their yucca fries and cashew ‘queso’. I also love the coconut margarita. They offer a unique food & drink menu. There are a lot of seating options both indoors and outdoors. The back patio is mostly closed in with heaters so it stays shaded in summer and warm in the winter, and the front patio is nice for people-watching. This restaurant’s location is wonderful because it is directly next to other businesses including a cat cafe, ice cream shop, other restaurants & bars, and local shops.

Wonderful vegetarian restaurant! I’d be honest I had suspicions about this place and it wasn’t my first choice on Tennyson but boy was I completely blown away by the quality of the food!!! Every dish was carefully prepared with so much flavor. You definitely get what you pay for here. The food was phenomenal and the restaurant was beautifully decorated. Totally a vibe. Truly impressed with this place. 10/10 experience. We got the reuben, pad thai, Korean stir fry, bánh mi tacos and the Korean wings. Drinks were also fun and refreshing. Looking forward to checking out their Happy Hour specials.

I took my girlfriend here for some late lunch and the place was very chill and relaxing, the line to order was moving really fast so it didn't take us long at all to get the food on the table. The breakfast falafel was huge and delicious, it was easily 2 portions worth of food so definitely a steal for about $16. The stir fry was a blast, so many different grains and sprouts that I can't mention them all, but the favorite ingredient were the mushrooms, beautiful texture, very flavorful, we loved them. Last but not least the cashew cheese nachos, you can't even tell is vegan, the texture held up for the entire 90 minutes we were there, even after it got cold (naturally) the cheese was delicious. I have to give a big shoutout to their manager Ethan and the chef Grady for the hospitality, it feels so good to eat at a place that welcomes you like if you were home, very polite, very professional, my partner can't wait to go back for another round of nachos. Keep up the good work!
