Good food that’s good for you!
SHINE is a gem, providing quality in a wide variety of vegan dishes. Incredible owners and staff, and a clean comfortable atmosphere for dine in. Take out is always very fast, and their meals to go from the fridge and freezer are top quality with fresh ingredients. Don't miss out trying the portobello sandwich and mushroom frozen pizza!
Wonderful food, staff and atmosphere. The portobello steak sandwich and 'chicken' shawarma were incredible and generous portions
Love this place! Loved the food! Available gluten-free/dairy-free options. Mine was truly delicious! (Lunch was under $20.) Kudos to their chef/owner and his lovely wife! The restaurant is clean and cared-for. Casual, bright decor with a ‘garage door’ roll-up that’s open in warmer weather. Parking is on street or Municipal P close by.
Thanks for a great lunch! Healthy and tasty. Visited for the first time on July 24. Can't wait to go back 😁 Had the sweet potato pierogi grilled cheese 💚 Best grilled cheese ever.
Absolutely love this place! The food was amazing. One of the best meals I’ve had in years. It’s such a cute space and I felt immediately welcome when I was greeted with a warm smile at the counter. I can’t recommend Shine enough. Try the gnocchi! I had the taco special when I went and it was amazing!! I can’t wait to go back.
AMAZING! If you are veg, veeg, gluten free and/or just love delicious proper food GO HERE. You can taste the real ingredients, so fresh. I had the Asian bowl, my partner had the sweet potato pierogi grilled cheese and we both had the hangover smoothie + matcha. Truly every single bite/sip was so delicious. Speedy friendly lovely service. Great atmosphere. Counter for fresh food and drink with a fridge and freezer for take away meals. Nice bar rail overlooking the cute main street, great people watching. This place is sincerely perfect.
This place is amazing. I am not a vegan, but this turned out better than I thought. Very clean place and great service. I am hoping this business will expand to London Ontario as this is my hometown. I hope the pictures of what my classmates, Maria, Kayla, Ben, Allison C, Swak, Lana, Jon, and I eat and hope this will encourage more customers. My only critic is to have pictures for those who like pictures so it can help costumers decide faster.
We tried their bowls and sandwiches and they all tasted pretty good! Portobello Steak sandwich was our favorite. Asian dumpling noodle bowl was a bit salty though. They also have a number of in-house prepared stuff for sale.
This is my new favourite spot for burgers
I Love this place! I am vegan, gluten free, and avoid refined sugar. This place NEVER disappoints. The soups, the salads, the cream sauces, the gf grilled cheese , the smoothies all delicious and hearty and most dishes have a gf option. Thank you so much for giving me a place I can enjoy eating out!!!
Excellent food and friendly staff
Really found this restaurant enjoyable. We tried the portobello mushroom sandwich and the Tuscan autumn sandwich abd both were delicious. Sides like Caesar salad and butter nut squash soup were good too. Fast and efficient service and I like the order at the front cash and they bring you your meal.
Im certainly not a vegan yet this one of my favorite eateries Ive been to in a long time. Everything about this place is on point. Price, customer service, flavours, and atmosphere are all amazing.
Best plant based restaurant in all of the GTA and beyond. Every dish is a taste sensation. Cute wife and hubby team. Lovely!!
Best smoothies in Orillia. No question, and its not even close.
Coming from someone that typically eats meat with every meal, I can honestly say that this restaurant is fantastic. I ve eaten here a number of times and the food is always excellent. Super friendly staff that are always welcoming.
Delicious vegan food. I had the sweet potato grilled cheese, Caesar salad and a smoothie. Absolutely fantastic, would definitely return.
Amazing food. Great accommodation for food allergies. Love this place which it wasnt across the country from me.
such amazing food yummmmmmmm yum yum
This is our go to restaurant every time we visit Orillia. My husband s favourite is the portobello mushroom sandwich. I had the peach sandwich recently and the liquid gold smoothie as my dessert. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. The flavours of both were amazing. I can t wait to go back and have it again!
Best place in orillia! I try to stop every time Im in town
Phenomenal! Highest recommendation.
Not that they need more 5 star reviews, but Shine was awesome. Probably some of the best vegan food (and potato wedges) Ive had. I had the chicken souvlaki sandwich and my fiance had the sweet potato pierogi grilled cheese, both amazing. They also have a freezer full of pre-made meals ready to take home. Vegetarian options: All vegan food Dietary restrictions: There have gluten free options
Delicious healthy food with great vibes
Simply amazing!
I went there today - was welcomed with a smile! The food is AMAZING and the staff is wonderful! Everyone must visit this restaurant everything is made from scratch and made fresh! Please have a meal there. You will keep on coming back .just as I will!!!!! Thank you for offering these healthy meals!
The Pick Me Up smoothie is the best! There was a bit of unblended banana/date at the bottom, but the smoothie was delicious and filling.
Amazing family operated vegan restaurant. Everything is killer. I highly recommend the Asian dumpling bowl. Its to die for. Vegetarian options: All vegan!
Love Shine. I travel roughly 2.5 hours to pick up their Chicken Souvlaki and their amazing Caesar Salad dressing, so damn good! Dietary restrictions: All vegan Parking: Public parking only a few stores down. Place is generally busy during the summer as it s a tourist area.
The food was amazing even my friends and family that arent vegan loved it!
I wanted to try their veggie burger, it took longer than expected. I had to order it to go. But that wasnt the issue. The issue was how both the wedges and the burger were excessively salty, not happy, not fun, and definitely not healthy.
Soo delicious and packed full of nutrients. Love their food and super friendly service too!
portions are so big and food was incredibly tasty. just bought the veggie burgers and they are one of the best ive ever had i will definitely be back ! thank u
Phenomenal. Their food is flavourful and delicious, their environmental conscious approach is amazing. They offer a water station for easy refills and compost station. The staff are friendly and work so hard to make this place above and beyond. An excellent meal/ portion without breaking the bank. An absolute pleasure, every time.
Amazing food! The vegan options are incredible. Best ceaser salad Ive had. The owners are very kind! Food
Great healthy food Sweet was was excellent Love the decor Bake wedges are fantastic Food : 5/5 |
What a lovely place to eat. Friendly smiling staff and delicious food. Shine deserves all 5 stars. And if your concerned because you like your meat, dont even worry about it because their tasty portions will satisfy and fill you up.
Love love love the food! Always recommend my favourite The Dirty Burger and caesar salad is must try
Food is fantastic! The mushroom sandwich alone is worth the drive from barrie.
An absolute must visit! The food was super fresh and delicious, and the space was very relaxed and clean. We will be back!!
Ive been here a few times now and it has never disappointed! Im currently dairy free while breastfeeding and was craving pizza. Well let me tell you, their pre-made freezer pizzas are amazing! Super quick and easy to make at home and in my opinion reasonably priced for the product. I got the bruschetta pizza and will one hundred percent be going there again to purchase more to keep in my freezer when I get another craving. Service was also amazing. Both the person working the front and the chef were so kind. They were super busy but still made me a Caesar salad to go in no time, which was delish and a huge portion. Would recommend this place to anyone asking for a restaurant recommendation in the area, whether they are plant based or not. They just make delicious food. Wish I took a picture to include with this review, but I ate everything too quickly lol.
One of my go to spots in orillia. Everything is fresh and absolutely delicious. The owners are so kind as well, you can tell they care a lot about the food they make based on the quality.
I had the mushroom sandwich with soup... absolutely delicious! The space is also very inviting and the staff were lovely. Ill have to bring my husband here. Highly recommend.
Amazing place! Food and staff are amazing :)
Just picked up a frozen pizza ( I m always struggling to find a quick dinner during the week for 2!) - It was absolutely delicious, fast, and under 15$. Better then delivery!
Love this place
NOT VEGAN!! Im severely lactose intolerant and I do intermittent fasting, generally one large meal a day so im a walking lactose detector. Sorry to say that Shine does infact have dairy in their pizzas, not sure which one, or if its all of them or if the ingrediant containing lactose is used in multiple recepees... (I had a couple slices from 4 diffrent pizzas) Lactose is not created artificially and is only found in dairy products. Often lactose is extracted from dairy and is used as a stand alone additive for texture enhancement but it always comes from dairy. Vegetarian options: Not vegan. Dietary restrictions: Not safe for vegan diets or lactose free diets.
Service awesome .food amazing!! A must stop.
Great food & service! I love this spot
Great spot for healthy, tasty food
Great food, busy lunch spot downtown Orillia. One of the few open for lunchtime downtown.
Literally the most amazing food Ive ever had! My boyfriend and I drive up from Keswick and Shine is ALWAYS our first stop. The caesar salad is by far the best salad Ive had anywhere, and the dirty burger is unreal.. the in house burger patty tastes better than any beyond burger. Besides the food, the staff/ the woman who works the front are so so friendly and it definitely is such an inviting place to go. Definitely recommend to every vegan and non vegan!
Best plant based food in the area. Great customer service. Nice place to eat inside as well. Everything was delicious and they even have frozen meals to bring home. Amazing place.
AMAZING! Fantastic food, friendly staff & reasonably price. My son is vegan & this is his favorite restaurant. I took him here for his birthday dinner a few weeks ago (it was my first time eating here) & I loved it! We had the portobello steak mushroom sandwiches, they were delicious. He also grabbed a few of the frozen pizzas to take with us & they were amazing as well. We will definitely be back 5
Excellent food and great service. A must visit in Orillia even if you are not vegan.
My very favourite restaurant in orillia :) try the tatziiki we put it on everything
We LOVE Shine. The food is incredible and the service is just as wonderful. Today I placed an order that had me picking up just before closing and felt awful (I didn t check the hours before I placed the order online, my fault!). They were so accommodating and reassured me it was fine. I have never once ordered something and been disappointed, everything is great. I appreciate that they have frozen meals and bulk sauces/dressing that you can purchase to make at home, a much better option when you are in a rush to make dinner. One of my favourite places! Highly recommend!
Amazing plant based food. Will even please meat eaters. Had a great dinner there with friends, staff was amazing with the several children we had with us, and as always, the food was delicious! Vegetarian options: Delicious. Everything is delicious. Parking: Parking spots on street out front, and several municipal lots nearby. Kid-friendliness: Staff was very friendly with all of the kids, and very understanding, even when the kids got a little wild near the end of the meal.
I m not vegan & this place is absolutely delicious an excellent environment also. Recommending for sure Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options
I just had lunch there with my daughter. I had the burger and Cesar salad my daughter had a cauliflower California wrap and arugula salad. Both were amazing. Taste and portion size were 5 stars. Definitely would recommend this place. The owners are super hospitable and accommodating as well. 5 all the way.
Delicious!!! The veggie sandwich and Caesar salad is a great combo. Mediterranean wrap is also excellent.
Absolutely delicious food! I loved everything I tried from here
The pierogie grilled cheese was incredible. The dipping sauce elevated what was already a well composed sandwich. The chicken souvlaki was indistinguishable from the real thing. Cant go wrong with any of the salad options, although the caesar was particularly good.
Great customer service during a very busy rush. And the food was out of this world. Love knowing that other people care about what they are eating as much as I do. Thank you for your dedication and delicious meal.
Most delicious food! I wish I could eat here everyday.
Caesar salad had the best dressing I have tasted in a while delicious Sandwich was excellent too Great food great service worth a visit Food : 5/5
loved the portobello mushroom sandwich it was amazing and the lady was so nice :)
The food here was incredible! The reason for the lower rating is the lack of AC. We were uncomfortably hot for our entire visit.
Amazing food, smoothies, service, location and atmosphere!
Love this place! Fully vegan restaurant with many interesting options. I have to admit I have only tried a few things on the menu because everything I have tried is so good, its hard to want to get anything else! I love their dumpling noodle bowl and their caesar salad. Their dips are also so creamy and delicious.They also have a ton of pre-made vegan meals which look amazing however I have not tried them. Staff are really friendly and quick, it seems to be a small family-run business and they do an amazing job. It is very clean inside and the decor is lovely. Highly recommend for vegans and non-vegans!
Have been going for about a year now. Been a vegetarian for 5 years. This place has great food and a great selection of entrees to get. Service is always friendly and fast. And their To-Go fridge has some great options. We never leave without grabbing a couple of their Cesar dressings. So good. Hope you enjoy this place as much as we do.
Very delicious food. Great portions.
Wowwwwziee ,the food in this little gem was spectacular. Fresh,clean and super healthy. The potato wedges were $9 but you will understand ,completely mouth watering. All the food was . Will be back regularly. Thanks again Ambrose
I tried my partners chicken souvlaki. I am not a vegan but my partner is. I rarely find vegan restaurants satisfying. The food here was phenomenal! Vegan or not you will love the food!
Food was so healthy and hearty! I wish I could have gotten everything on the menu it all sounded so good! I got the dumpling noodle bowl and it was delicious. Love the atmosphere in the restaurant also! I will definitely come back soon!
This place is incredible. I am so happy a place like Shine exists and seems to be thriving in our little city. The food is truly exceptional, the service is great, and the atmosphere is wonderful. Im will be coming back regularly!
Cook looks like he hates his life. Radiates his misery out from the back. Definitely made me a bit more miserable.
OK so if you asked me if I would eat in a vegan restaurant 6 months ago I would have laughed. BUT, A wonderful family member was visiting from the Left Coast and is Vegan. She had researched and wanted to eat there. So being the magnanimous individual I am, we three went off to eat on a cool rainy cruddy Orillia day. I ordered the burger knowing full well the closest it would be to meat was a cow passing by the field the greens came from. It was delicious. No joking and, No I did NOT lose a bet. It was fantastic. I did get a very small bit of burpy gas after eating but if you knew what I have dumped down the coal chute over the past 70 years, a little rebellious gas is nothing. this meat eating individual would recommend this establishment every day of the week.
Great vegan restaurant with plant based food that cannot be distinguished from the real thing. The staff is very friendly.
Plant based at its best
Owner was freaking awesome and accomodated allergies and time, friendly and very kind
This eatery has mastered plant based cooking. I have yet to order a meal (lunch, dinner or frozen take away meal) that didnt completely blow my tastebuds away. Worth every penny. Would recommend.
Food was excellent and Im not a vegetarian but my fiance is. Parking: Town parking lot nearby. Food : 5/5 |
This was hands down some of the best food Ive ever had in my life. I ordered the gnocchi and potato wedges and my jaw actually dropped with how good they were!
First time there and I was surprised with the food and choice available! It was a hearty meal! I will go back for sure!
My first visit to this restaurant was amazing! Food was delicious and the girl at the front was the sweetest! It s a cute place with a great menu and the best part is it s all plant based! I will definitely be returning.
Amazing menu,,,, Great food - also the quick take out fridge/freezer food is amazing too - my only complaint is that the filling portions in the sandwiches could be larger. Its not cheap, but its worth it...amazing flavours
Food is 10/10. Very nice staff!
Based on a friends recommendation, my boyfriend and I decided to head up to Orillia and check out Shine and are we ever glad we did. From the moment we entered we were taken care of. Laura was great- friendly and accommodating. My boyfriend had the Chicken Souvlaki, which was so flavourful and fresh with Caesar Salad, which was the closest we ve had to the original, non vegan version. I had the Asian Noodle Dumpling Bowl, which was like a warm hearty hug-perfect for a rainy, chilly day Both were delicious and great portion sizes. Highly recommend you try Shine for fresh, healthy, vegan meals. 10/10 - 5 Stars. *
Veg places are hard to come by so it was promising. Unfortunately I think we stopped by on a bad day. It took almost an hour to get the order, the broth in the bowl was waaay too salty to be edible ($15) and served with kettle chips from a bag ($9).
Absolutely loved our experience. Awesome customer service and ridiculously good food. My bf couldnt stop talking about the portobello sandwich. They have perfected vegan ceaser salad as well!
We visited this restaurant on our way through Orillia. I tried their beyond burger with cheese and rice paper bacon. It was amazing. The Ceasar salad is very good as well. Friendly service and great atmosphere
Always a great experience at this restaurant. Love that they are fully plant based and actually have delicious food! I drive up from Barrie just to get their portobello steak sandwich and the best tasting vegan Caesar salad as a side. Their Caesar dressing is so yummy that I always buy a container of it to take home too. And their smoothies are delicious as well. Keep it up!
Absolutely LOVE the gnocchi and the chip and dip... thats all Ive had so far and its 10/10. The flavour and freshness cant be beat! Im vegan and I love that its fully plant based!
Friendly,helpful staff
My favourite spot to eat in Orillia. Great vibes, friendly staff and Im always impressed with the size of the ceasar side salad, (i feel like anywhere else the same thing is atleast half the size and its not even vegetarian nevermind Vegan) not to mention how good the Ceasar salad tastes! Im always leaving feeling full and refreshed.
Excellent food. All plant based.
Absolutely amazing food, especially the portobello sandwich, and on top of that very friendly service. I would definitely go back!
Great smoothie game
Oh my goodness everything is sooo good!
Everything is always so good. I Love the Asian dumpling noodle bowl, gnocchi, Portobello sandwich, and their Caesar salad is the best.
Soooo delicious. Vegan Mushroom steak and cheese was so good. Dumpling Noodle bowl also delicious. Took a good amount of time but worth it you could tell it was thoughtful.
Shine is amazing!! This is on our list of must dos every time we are in Orillia. Their food and smoothies are so delicious, and the owners are wonderful. We purchased their homemade chipotle, tzatziki, and caesar salad dressing to enjoy at home as well. They also have frozen meals that you can take home!!
I loved eating here! It is an all plant based restaurant with great food and great costumer service. They have a kids menu as well as a large selection of smoothies (for $8.99). I got the mushroom Philly steak and it was so good! It was so smokey and flavourful. The green wrap was also really good with a spicy kick. I recommend you try at least once if you stop by. Vegetarian options: The whole menu was vegan! Kid-friendliness: Kid menu
A pleasant surprise. Delicious portobello mushroom sandwich with Ceasar salad. Chikn Shawarma also very good. Generous portions.
Let me start by saying I RARELY leave ratings for anything. But there s no way I wasn t going to say something here. The amount of care and attention that goes into each meal is apparent and appreciated. I can taste each ingredient independently but once combined with others it comes together to create a refreshingly light meal with flavour galore. You had me sold on your complex and flavourful soups already but the gnocchi?C mon, that was ridiculously tasty. You bet I ll be back. Consider me a new regular customer. (mic drop) - Bryan
Great atmosphere and food!
Wow, unassuming little place and the tastiest lunch! Got the portobello sandwich with a beautiful mayo- truffle and arugula. Bread was so deliciously crunchy too. Side I chose was the red pepper and sweet potato soup. I d definitely make this my favourite place to eat at when I m in Orillia. Great Vegan food! Parking: Lots of street parking
everything about this place was just so good. honestly can t wait until i m back in town to have it again
The atmosphere is great, the food is better! It is so nice to be able to eat such flavorsome vegan dishes. Many choices are gluten free as well. This restaurant is run with love by the owners who are hands on. There are fridges and freezers full of ready made dishes you can buy and take home to warm up also.
Great food and the owner is so nice!! Love it here!!
Wow, wow, wow! Plant Based friends if you havent ordered here you are missing out. I have tried a number of items on the menu and all tasted outstanding - especially the Gnocchi (pictured) Great food, fair price makes me happy! Thanks Shine Team!
I am not a vegan - I may not love the food as much but I have tried several options and have found them all to be very bland almost flavourless. However there are good options too, they make some of the best smoothies and I can appreciate that they have been using biodegradable cups long before the paper straw saga.
Amazing food great service!
Fantastic food - visited Orillia for the day - highly recommend this place.
Such an incredible vegan spot. I like me some steak and bacon, but trust me, its so good you wont even miss it. Top notch,very tasty food.
Great local place with delicious vegan food and treats. Incredibly kind staff and you can tell they really care about the food.
Best vegan grilled cheese Ive ever had!! With Sweet potato, and caramelized onions... Delicious!
Excellent plant based food freshly prepared. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend the sweet potato grilled cheese. Great service too!
Totally love this place!
Everything is delicious but if you need a recommendation the taste of the orient trio is amazing and the chicken souvlaki pita is excellent.
This place rocks, delicious food.
Amazing food!.. even the meat eaters leave with a full happy belly and not missing the meat one bit!
This place is awesome. They even made me a smoothie while they were closed!
Easily the best gnocchi Ive ever had.
If on death row, I would happily get the portabella steak sandwich for my last meal. Perfectly seasoned, rich, satisfying; just an amazing sandwich! The potato wedges were okay, but could have used something else to elevate them to another level. The lemonade smoothie was very good, so tart and refreshing on a hot day! Next time in Orillia, this restaurant will be a mandatory stop! Only downside is the hours are limited.
Someone needs to get Gordon Ramsay in here to rate the portobello steak sandwich. It is so frikkin tasty it blew our minds. Jesus himself is in the back kitchen making them because they are HEAVENLY. My wife ordered the steak sandwich, I got the potato grilled cheese which was also very tasty(bacon is phenomenal and so smoky) but my biggest mistake was not getting the steak as well. Amazing food. So fresh. So yummy. Dip is also SO good. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Delicious dinner from Shine! So flavourful. Had the dumpling and gnocchi bowls. Highly recommend.
The pick me up and wedges are two great menu items!!
So happy to have healthy plant based food available close to home! Best Caesar salad around!
Great spot, lovely dine-in experience. Gnocchi was delicious, as was the coffee. Everything is dairy free and many items are gluten free as well. They have fresh and frozen meals. Ill be back!
Ive been going to Shine for years, even before moving to Orillia. Delicious food. The chef is amazing. It doesnt matter what you order, its going to be good!
Great food, friendly staff
Would have been nice if the your website had been updated to inform customers that travelled a distance to eat at your area your restaurant, that your closed over holidays..
Everything here is delicious!
Best. Vegan. Ever
Such great tasting foods as well as very filling! Cant wait to go again!
Everything is simply delicious. Cooked fresh to order there is something here for everybody. Gluten Free.. Vegan... This is the place for you!
Love it. Started eating Vegan October 2019 and this is our go to restaurant. Great menu, and delicious variety of plant based foods. Their burgers are awesome. Friendly courteous staff, lots of clean seating.
Well organizef
Great food, helpful staff, and now carefully at up for physical distancing.
We had a long hot day working outdoors. On the way home we decided it was definitely a night for takeout. I called Shine, just 10 min. before closing and said we are at Warminster, can we still order? Answer was yes so we got to enjoy amazing portobello steak sandwiches, salad and potatoe wedges. Sure hit the spot and we sure appreciated the care and service we received!
Good quality tasty food with some fun menu options. I will be back as often as I can.
Excellent lunch. Lots of delicious vegan choices. Friendly service. I was very impressed and will definitely eat there again.
I got The Trio - super tasty, good portion for the price :) looking forward to when they get A/C and dine-in so I can come try every item on the menu yay for plant-based!
Delicious healthy food. From people who care. One of my favourite places to eat or takeout. Feels good and they are local. Thanks for creating something special. I look forward to my next meal there and the new creations. Flavour :)
Mmmmmm. Great smoothie
Great food! The burrito bowl is exquisite and a very big size for the price. They went thr extra mile with everything compostable (that I saw). Worth encouraging
Really delicious!! Quality food and great service. Ill go back anytime!! Burrito bowl
The Italian sausage sandwich...Best damn sandwich Ive ever had!
Excellent food, good value!
Amazing vegan option in the heart of downtown Orillia. Fantastic service and a system error caused an order delay, once they realized what happened they immediately rectified and even proactively gave a $20 gift card just to say sorry . I love the food too but how a company handles a misstep says a lot too and they certainly were kind and professional about it all! Thanks so much!
Always delicious
Great tasting and filling alternative plant based meals! Satisfying smoothies! Super helpful and knowledgeable staff with menu selections
Amazing food. Tried special featured Falafel bowl. Tasted so fresh. Just amazing!
Adorable vegan restaurant with a industrial atmosphere and amazing food. Great Cesar salad
The staff were very friendly and the food was out of this world! I highly recommend!
Ive visited Shine a few times over the past few years with the most recent in early December with COVID restrictions, and as always, a great experience. Service was kind, food came out promptly (10-15), and the quality relative to cost couldnt be beaten. Would highly recommend to everyone regardless of dietary preference.
excellent service, great menu, the Australian dude is awesome!
Lots of great options on the menu. Everything is gluten free & vegan. We travel here from Toronto for the delicious meals. Food was thoroughly enjoyed by meat eaters as well.
So incredible in every way. Their caesar salad is the best thing Ive ever tasted in my life. Amazing to have a vegan restaurant in Orillia where the price matches the quality. I tried the build your own beyond meat burger today and was BLOWN AWAY. Our server was the red head aussie guy. Super friendly and knowledgable. Shine is the gem of Simcoe county.
We came here for lunch, had the daily soup (chickpea & spinach) delicious! We shared the mushroom board - it s not often that I taste something so different and amazing. Out of this world good; it s nice to eat good food that nourishes your body, and leaves you feeling great! Fast service as well. The smoothies are delicious, too. I want to come back and try everything on the menu!!
Super tasty, clean food. Casual atmosphere.
Amazing service, amazing food, blows most of the vegan options in Ottawa out of the water! Will definitely be back!
Excellent chilli!
Very friendly and clean. A warm and Friendly atmosphere. Vegan and GF.
The owners are great and we love the creativity on the menu and the many options.
I actually agree with the cafeteria review. It used to be so nice to sit down and have nice friendly service . the food is still good but it definitely doesnt hold the same appeal.
Good vegan food. Miss having table service . Alex is ahead of the vegan craze with his creations
The Shine team, headed by Alex and Laura, have really created something special for Orillia. Not being vegan, they certainty have inspired me to eat more Vegan, with there delicious smoothies and amazing food. Their attention to design in their restaurant has really created a comfortable and unique dining experience. Thanks for a great experience ... always!
Simply superb good hearty nourishing food! From farm to table, locally grown and organic products. Impressive Plant based eatery. I am recently new to the area from Toronto and was blown away at the care and thought that has been put in by the owner(s) to deliver delicious fresh food at very reasonable if not comparable prices. Well done! Finding this place is my good luck and so close to the waterfront. I had a curry coconut carrot soup partnered with a sautéed vegetable sandwich with a gluten-dairy free carrot cake. So goooood! The atmosphere is light and easy whether in groups, a date or on your own, there is a high level of easiness. The kitchen is open. Once you place your order you receive a number and they will bring it over. The young lady who took my order came by to check in to make sure all was well with food and experience. Nice touch. Friendly and welcoming staff on the floor and in the kitchen. The experience was very comfortable from start to finish, with carrot cake to go. Ate half my sandwich, felt full, a generous serving relative to my experience in Toronto and Markham plant based eatery s. Such a treat. They are located walking distance to the waterfront by Lake Couchiching and some cute little shops to explore. Parking is available in the street and around the corner there is an easy access parking lot. Still learning my way around Orillia. Feeling very thankful that Shine is located here and how well they feed their customers is a genuine sign of care. It had the same feel as in Europe where quality of food is prioritized. Thank you Shine! This is now my destination point in Orillia. It is a rare occasion that I will eat out with my allergies and sensitivities and prefer to select and prepare my own food, hence very selective when I do. I will say that the food at Shine is absolutely delicious, appropriately seasoned, I slept well, stomach felt good and woke up feeling greatly nourished as if I ate at home. Thank you Shine! You really do shine! So happy to find you so close by. I will dine here, will bring my friends here and any group events will be held here. Looking forward to trying more items on the menu. Yum! Life is Good! :)
Gorgeous cafe in such a cute town. The food is amazing!
Grilled veggie sandwich was delish loved it and the atmosphere
I love Shine, excellent local food. One of my favorite restaurants in Orillia.
Plant based food that anyone will love . Next level meals that guarantee to please
Love this amazing restaurant!! If you havent gone yet your in for a real treat, and what are you waiting for!!
This was a really cool place, delicious food, friendly staff. Definitely would recommend!
This place is amazing!! The bacon cheeseburger and Asian noodle bowl were so good. I m not vegan at all, but I could be if I ate here everyday. The chicken tacos were good, but I probably wouldn t order them again. Can t wait to come back and try more! Highly recommend!
Yummy food! Nice place! The presentation and food is exceptional!!
In one potato wedge I ate enough salt to give an elephant a heart attack. The sandwich was mediocre as well. Most expensive high blood pressure I ve ever paid for
Always delicious!!
Healthy food that tastes great!
LOVE this place. Such great tasting food. Too bad they close on Sundays :( edit: USED TO love this place. - They are no longer completely Gluten Free because They have to accommodate everyone - as if non gluten allergic people could get sick off of gluten free food. - They changed their menu - reduced menu items. - Went once at 11am and ordered a meal with a side of wedges and was told they ran out. - The last 5 times we went there they were closed the Saturday, and without any notice. - Short girl at the cash is arrogant and sardonic
Great local atmosphere in downtown Orillia, right by the famed Mariposa Market. You can order a variety of burgers/sandwiches and bowls, as well as smoothies and a few desserts. Its also liquor licensed, so you can have a wine or cider with lunch/dinner. I find a lot of cafe style vegan restaurants dont have that, so definitely a nice surprise.
excellent plant based food choices
It has lost some of its quality and general amazingness it started with. Is Tolerable but not the 5 star it was in the past for flavour, cost and ambience
Amazing food! Even if you arent vegetarian, where else can you get chef made food for these prices? Everything weve tried is packed with flavour. Portions are decent, too.
I liked it and I am not a Vegan or a veggie.
One of the best restaurants downtown Orillia.
Best food and smoothies ever!!
Beautiful- atmosphere, service and food. Homemade, organic and eco-friendly. Rivals Torontos vegan restaurants- weve been to them all. The Mushroom Board is our favourite. Even our 6.5 month old likes it. Its always a great time. Shine on!!!
This restaurant is amazing. The menu is moderately sized, with a wide variety of foods. Everything is vegan and gluten-free, and absolutely delicious. Ive brought meat-eating friends and family here, and all of them have asked to go back with me, they loved the food so much. The Caesar salad is the best Ive ever eaten in my life. The staff are super friendly, service is fast, everything made fresh to order. Highly recommend!
