La Vegan Ethiopian & Eritrean Vegan Cuisine in Toronto

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant last night! The atmosphere is truly unique, with a cultural vibe that sets it apart. It was my first time trying Ethiopian food, and I was absolutely blown away by the flavors and the quality everything was exceptional. The staff were incredibly kind and polite, making the experience even more enjoyable. One highlight for me was the Lemon and Ginger tea with Ethiopian spices it s something really special that I highly recommend trying. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the food, service and the overall experience. I strongly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be coming back!

I love this restaurant. It s peaceful, people are kind and the food is delicious! My kids love the veggie combo and we all feel great and energized after eating.

Yes, yes and YES! If you re looking for an introduction to the stunning African cuisine, this is where you have to go! We got the la vegan veggie combo which is basically a nicely curated tasting menu. Try EVERYTHING! The flavours melt so nicely and the injera is fresh and light (it s kind of like a pancake, but more rubbery). Oh man, I can t even describe the injera though, don t even take my word for it, you must try it and experience it! There were various veggies and lentils on the plate that offered unique tastes, mixing and matching, very interactive! Our server did not hesitate to answer any questions we had and really took the time to explain what everything was . We ended up getting the coffee ceremony as well, where they showed the roasting process and presented it with a nice aromatic incense that really got the whole restaurant curious. Stunning! Service 10/10, food 10/10 and the decor was nice and colourful! Such a pleasant experience! Portion sizes are great and the price is just right! I hope more people give it a try, because you will not regret it!

I dont even know where you begin... My friends and I tried many of the dishes a and they were all VERY delicious and nutritious. The sauces were very flavourful. The service here is exceptional- everyone was so friendly and warm. The place itself has cultivated a very relaxing vibe. I highly recommend this restaurant because I think its one of the best veg places in TO.

The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful, portions were generous, and the service was so sweet and attentive. The servers clued in that it was my birthday and came out with one of the most fun bday surprises Ive ever had at a restaurant!!

A warm and welcoming experience with very good food. We ordered the dish for 2 so we were able to taste several dishes. The food is fabulous and we were SATISFIED at the end. Very nice coffee ceremony at the end with the best popcorn weve ever had. 5/5!!!

Follow @bredgyeats for more food photos! La Vegan Platter for One - Vegan food often gets a bad rap for being boring and flavourless, but plant-based Ethiopian cuisine redefines that with their platter for one. Its quality over quantity, despite the colourful display of flavours, each dish sitting a top of injera that soaks up all the delicious juices so none of the flavour goes to waste.

As a vegan Ethiopian, Im surprised at how good the food is much like back home the only problem is now I need to start running to burn the extra calories since I ate too much at this place.

Delicious food terrible service. Get the veggie platter and try a bit of everything! Our server was pretty terrible but the restaurant itself is gorgeous and the food was incredible so I would go back. Dietary restrictions: All vegan :) Parking: Lots of street parking on the Danforth and around the neighborhood on side streets.

Seriously delicious food with variety of mild and medium spicy options. Ambiance and presentation were lovely, as was the customer service. Seating options are varied with high top, sofa, and regular tables. If you are scent sensitive, be aware that they may be burning frankincense.

Delicious vegan food, wonderful calm and cozy atmosphere. I love this place

Even though it s vegan, without meat, the food was very delicious. Great ambiance, well decorated, clean. Staff is hospitable and very kind. Highly recommend coming here.

These guys are amazing and very polite. This place made my birthday special ! Thankyou !

Best experience, from the moment you enter, the ambience is beautiful sight. The welcome and service from the staff. And oh!!! the food was . We hadn t even left and we all are talking about coming back.

Cozy ambience, friendly staff, and amazing food. It was perfect for a date and price was reasonable! We got the vegan platter for two, guava juice and the seasoned Ethiopian tea. couldnt stop eating. This place really deserves a five-star score: a hidden gem! we will definitely come back.

Tried for the first time but we had the food at Veg Fest this year. The food is very good and theres a wide variety of dishes. There are many dishes which you dont find at the average vegan or standard Ethiopian place, so youll have plenty of new flavors to enjoy. The staff is good vibes. I dont know if they have this every night, but they had a piano man come on at about 10:30 and a male singer come on a little later. They were good too. Overall it was a good time! I look forward to eating there again.

Great first time dinner experience here, was with a large group so wait time for our meals were a little longer than expected, but give the size of our group it was understandable

Amazing classy experience...super accomodating to my brother who is gluten free. Very nice people

Excellent food and service. Great staff. The mushrooms tibs and tofu are the best. Highly recommended! Ps. The Fava beans dip is super as well.

Outstanding food and service. The really went out of their way to ensure we had a great time and enjoyed the food. Highly recommend.

Everything is amazing no words to explain just go and test it

Of all the vegan restaurants I ve visited in Toronto, this is my favorite one the veggie combo is a must. The Injera rolled with lentils was my personal favorite.

Great food! We were so full! Super tasty

Wow the amazing and delicious food great service nice place

I love this place so much. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is amazing, and everyone who works here is really helpful and kind.

An excellent experience, quiet and relaxing. Nice music, delicious food and very attentive, respectful and helpful service.

Amazing service, interior and deliciously authentic Ethiopian food! The flavors were spot on, transporting me to Ethiopia with every bite. The only exception was the okra in the combo, which resembled foselia and had a hint of Indian flavor, slightly deviating from the traditional Ethiopian taste. Nevertheless, the meal was incredible, and I highly recommend this restaurant for a genuine Ethiopian culinary experience! Thank you!

Was too engrossed with their finger-licking good food and conversations that I forgot to take a single picture of the food! All I clicked was a portrait in-front of where I sat! They had a buffet for our vegan friends and it was yummy! Injera, 3 different delicious curries one of which had my favourite Ethiopian spice berbere spice! (Which I thought was misir wat, but a guy next to me said it was something else) the salads were spicy with chillies which I absolutely loved! Never had a salad with chillies on it! The pasta the peas pulao were so delicious too! The staff were so courteous and kind! Wish I clicked more pics but I will certainly visit this place again. Will perhaps update this review with more pictures as it was also a cozy little cute place! Time for google reviews to have a vegan option next to vegetarian option :D

We had amazing food and service if I can I will give more stars .

Literally some of the best food Ive ever had. You have to try the masir wat. The service is so good, they make you feel like family. I like spicy food but my partner doesnt, and they offered to bring spices on the side which they didnt even charge us for. I had to order food to go just so I could have more of their food the next day! They also have gluten free injeera which was great for my celiac partner. I went before and got a combo with multiple dishes, would also highly recommend that so you can try everything. Vegetarian options: Literally everything on their menu! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, vegan, vegetarian

Incredible food, 100% recommend! All authentic and a nice atmosphere. The platter was one of the better experiences in Toronto.

The service was prompt and attentive, and the food was fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was inviting to enjoy with your friends and family,and also the staff was friendly. Overall, a great experience that Id recommend to others looking for quality Ethiopian food and service. Keep up the good service. Vegetarian options: They have variety of options for vegetarian.

Really quite excellent. Very tasty food made with olive oil (great for anyone trying to avoid seed oils), friendly and caring service, along with a pleasant indoor atmosphere. Outdoor seating is available as well. Prices are fair for the quality which I believe is the best in Toronto. I had the vegetarian platter and the large assortment and variety of dishes served blew me away, each one was truly distinct.

I have been to quite a few ethiopian places but this one definitely stands out for the flavorful food and so many different unique veg options. We had the veg platter which comes with 10-12 different options and the mushroom tibs which were so delicious. We just couldnt stop eating even when we were so full, and would definitely want to come here again! Vegetarian options: 20-30 items in the menu, all vegan

First time at the restaurant and not our last either. Food and Service excellent many recommendations from the waitress as it was our first visit. Nice ambiance and decorated beautiful. See you soon!

I absolutely love this place! Their veggie combo platter comes in huge portions and is super flavourful.

What a restaurant! Loved everything about it! Will definitely come back more often

This is our first time trying the restaurant, we thoroughly enjoyed both dishes we ordered: green lentils with spinach salad, and mushrooms with Injera. The portion was generous. The dishes were flavorful. The staff was very friendly, and the place is beautiful. Highly recommended, and we will come again!

Best Ethiopian I have EVER had!

This has definitely become my favorite Ethiopian & Eritrean place. The combo platters were not only giant, each dish in there (along with the others we ordered) was absolutely scrumptious. Their flavours were harmonious but distinct. Certainly finger-licking good. The ambience and decor were wonderful, being a perfect blend of soothing with traditional touches. The staff was also amazing. Helpful and always ready with a warm smile. We were celebrating my birthday and as they brought in a cake my friends surprised me with, the staff also gifted us with a delicious bottle of a peach beverage. And they even added a sparkler along with lights to the platters of the cake and the beverage (with champagne flutes). They even played music while they brought this out! The fanfare (and the warmth with which this played out) blew me away, rounding up an already splendid evening. 1000/10!

Best Ethiopian/Eritrean vegan in the city! I m from the region and it is hands down the best I ve had and I m not even vegan!

Some of the best food I have ever had!! Highly recommend

Just came to this place to try for the first time as I stepped In I got a very rude can I help you as if i was in the wrong spot, I turned right around as I stood outside got some more unfriendly stares back from the 2 women inside, so to my usual spot I go

I had gone back in 2023. Beautiful atmosphere; very calming. The hostess was calm and made us felt at ease. The food was mind blowing. The whole concept is different from european dining, that has been made more commonplace. There is a huge crepe called injera, which will serve as the base and one eats the various dishes with the injera served. The injera batter, I am guessing is made of fermented cereal. It can be likened to a dosa which is not crispy. It is very filling and yet so light. The individual curries in itself are so flavorful and tasty, again in a light way. All in all a great experience. Must visit again.

Very disappointed in their false closure times online. They in fact close the kitchen at 10pm on Fridays.

Very beautiful inside, stunning interior, great environment and wonderful service. Tons of vegan options the food was great! Definitely recommend

We were in the neighborhood for a medical appointment and discovered this gem. These folks have been here since 2022 and we were so happy to have discovered it. Beautiful and delicious food. We had the sampler for two and we enjoyed every bit of it. Their bread was so soft and delightful. I would certainly come back again. And their vegan dessert was also wonderful.

Some people choose to go easy for a first try of cuisine. ....me? I had to try their various meals all at once. Have you checked out their platter? So accommodating to dietary needs as well.Requested GF & price as reasonable. Their traditional tea....the spices after steeping.....it was so good! Cant wait to return to try more dishes.

Best in everything, please try it.

This is the most beautifully decorated restaurant in town. The service is amazing and the food is beyond delicious and freshly made. There are ao many options on the menu. The Pesto pasta was so good. My daughter loved it. And Vegan combo has a sample of all the dishes. I highly highly recommend this place and will definetly be back.

Great ambience, great food and excellent service. Neighborhood favorite.

Great veggies

Very nice vegan food place with variety of choices for anyone who wants to try African especially Ethiopian cultural food with a beautiful coffee ceremony. You will love it

Great Food, Amazing Service! Excellent Pricing. Very clean and well decorated environment.

Beautiful interior design. Vegan cuisine.

Good ambiance, amazing food

Delicious food..great place to eat and relax. Enjoy the great food and have a Ethiopian coffee after dinner..

Amazing veggie food

Ive been here twice and can safely say everything from the food, atmosphere/decor, price point and the people are incredible! We even sprung a 9 person walk in on them once and they accommodated us! This will def be a go to for us now

Amazing place for injera! The ambience here is wonderful from all the plants and decor. Great flavour and big portions. Dont leave without the coffee ceremony!

EXCELLENT service, food and atmosphere!

Flabbergasted by the food quality and their yummy flavours! Quite a decent ambience and attentive service. Definitely looking to be back soon! Parking: Street parking was available later in the day

Black woman owned small business -- same owner as Rendez Vous nearby. Friendly service! Unfortunately, it was quite cold in the restaurant and the food got cold very quickly. We were not offered extra injera. We were offered a choice between injera that contains barley & wheat, or gluten free. The mixed vegetable platter for two people ($45) included many different vegetable varieties and was good value. Many of the veggie dishes were memorable: flavourful and textural. White bean cream was a hit. The Ethiopian coffee ceremony ($20 for 2-4 people) was highly scented so be aware there will be frankincense and roasted coffee smoke. Coffee itself was perfectly smooth and tasty. Main floor bathrooms are rare in Toronto! Very clean washrooms. It was a fun and beautiful afternoon! Highly recommended to all. I normally eat meat including raw beef at other Ethiopian restaurants. But didnt miss the meat here.

Everything we ate was fresh and delicious and they use the best quality ingredients to produce dishes that are simply delightful. The restaurant also offers a wonderful drink menu, and they do have best vegan food in the region. the service was in they are highest quality. the waiters were very engaged with us . & the owner seemed very warm and thoughtful. she came around to check on our experience and seemed to be authentically engaged.

The food, service and the atmosphere were great. We had the veggie combo which were small portions of all their menu options. This is a great choice to taste every thing in one sitting. We didn t have the coffee ceremony but it was a sight to see it when other tables ordered it. We will definitely get the coffee ceremony next time. Appreciated that the owner came by our table to inquire on the service and food, that was a nice touch.

So much flavour and variety with the platter. Atmosphere is so warm and relaxed, lots of healthy food options and amazing customer service. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Parking: Street parking nearby.

Great service, really nice atmosphere, no complaints about food. Very nice.

Amazing food amazing service amazing atmosphere! Love this place for a good ambience and delicious vegan food. Great for sharing - and don t forget the coffee ceremony!

Not being awfully familiar with Ethiopian food, we wanted to try something new and were pleasantly surprised to find a completely vegan Ethiopian restaurant! We ordered two starters and a shared platter for 2 (to try a little bit of everything, great choice!), and the amount of food we received was so overwhelming that we ate ourselves into a food coma and still had to take most of the starters home with us! Everything was delicious, the waitress for friendly and competent, the interior of the restaurant is quite beautiful, moreso than most restaurants Ive been to, and it was one of my top 5 restaurant visits of 2023! Wholeheartedly recommended!

The best place in town to get ethiopian food Kudos for being an all vegan place for people like me :) The ambience is so goood and the food is absolutely delicious! The service was exceptional. I believe the person s name was Betty? May be spelling it incorrectly but she was very kind and let us sit in even though they were about to close!

Stumbled upon La Vegan when we needed a late night eat on my partners birthday. Such a wonderful place with amazing Ethiopian food. We split a La Vegan Plate and loved the variety. It was so much food and very reasonably priced. $25 for a single portion and $45 to share a La Vegan Plate. Highly recommend stopping by if youre in the area! Vegetarian options: Fully vegan restaurant!

The food here is so tasty - it s the best Ethiopian restaurant I ve been to. The staff is also very friendly! It was my friends birthday and they brought out a sparkler and a complimentary bottle of rose. So sweet. Definitely recommend.

Vegetarian options: Great spinach salad and lentil soup. Food

A friend and I visited this spot for our first time and it quickly became a favourite! Top Pick: Platter for 2. This is like a vegan superfood dream dish! A mix of warm & cold, mild & spicy, and everything tasted great. A wide range of protein & fibre, and all fresh; healthiest meal Ive had in a while! The staff are so warm and friendly and willing to describe the various dishes to you. Ill definitely be back. Vegetarian options: The entire restaurant is vegan so it is perfect for vegan or vegetarian diet. All of the food is fresh and amazingly healthy Dietary restrictions: We ordered the platter for 2 & staff were proactive and asked if we had allergies or gluten requirements

Amazing food, service and atmosphere! It s hard to find anything that beats this restaurant:) I keep coming back and everything gets better and better!

Fantastic experience, beautiful restaurant, warm and exceptional staff, delicious food and super bonus they pulled out all the stops for my friend s birthday. New favourite place. Kid-friendliness: Made special drinks for the kids ! Have less spicy options on a kids menu. Amazing service.

Delicious food and great atmosphere.

It is the place which allows you to have healthy Ethiopian dishes

Very good vegan restaurant with lot of food choices. The food is tasty and very different from the other vegan options at most of the vegan places which are usuallly either salad bowls or greasy fries or soy preparations. Here you can pair Injera bread with lot of different ethopian curries, lentils, green vegetables. It is reasonably priced as well.

Best Ethiopian in the neighbourhood! Food is excellent, staff are very kind and friendly, and atmosphere is perfect (very clean). The only thing is they need more staff.! We were there with the kids on Saturday night at 6pm. By 7 it was PACKED. Only two FOH staff (to greet, seat, take orders, serve, bartend and clean tables). They needed at least one person to greet and be on bar, and another to run food. Bus person would be an added bonus. We sat for 30 mins after we were finished waiting for our leftovers to be packed and to get our bill. If we weren t with the kids we probably wouldn t have noticed! Vegetarian options: The entire restaurant is vegan. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options. Kid-friendliness: Staff is great with kids and they can make non spicy dishes.

Very fresh tasty food & great service in a beautifully decorated space

Very nice ambiance and great food Great Service

We celebrated my brother s bday here. The staff were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to make his night special. The food was INCREDIBLE!! There is an amazing variety with such fantastic flavours! The ambiance was on point! I can t recommend this place enough, definitely going back soon.

I want to like this restaurant but unfortunately we had a bad experience. The atmosphere and decoration are no brainer and beautifully finished. The food and customer service is a complete mess. We chose the place for our friend who was visiting and was vegan! We ordered the combo sampler and mushroms tibs. The food arrived cold as well as the injera. We informed the staff. She went inside and took a long time even though there was only another table in addition to ours. We asked to warm the food. They brought it back and was still cold. We informed the waitress and told her to take it as we would no longer eat it. We had the mushrom tibs to eat. The unfortunate thing is that the owner witnessed all this, and she didnt see the need to stop by and ask/follow up! She came to the table next to us, as she might know them, chatted with them, and went back in before she left the restaurant!! Such behavior from the owner is a clear indication of lack of customer services. All in all, I will not visit La Vegan, nor do I recommend the restaurant..

We went to have dinner around 6 and ordered the kale almond and cranberry salad with no onions. For whatever reason, rather than informing us that the salad isnt available, the chef made the salad but with over half the ingredients missing while adding the onions and we got charged the full price. We informed the waitress and they acknowledged it plus conveyed it to the cooks, that was appreciated. Poor experience from that perspective regardless if its due to Lack of prep work, ingredients or planning, could have been avoided.. Dont think we will come back if dinner time runs the risk of missing ingredients with the possibility of being unaware that ingredients are missing

Absolutely delicious, definitely try the mushroom Tibs, was recommended by the server and absolutely loved it.

My partner and I had a lovely meal between Christmas and New Years here. Plentiful portions that Im happy we chose to share. So delicious and flavourful! Our waiter was lovely and we felt very comfortable being there as a lesbian couple.

We ordered veggie platter yesterday and it was delicious. Can t wait to try the other options on the menu.

Worst place , staffs working at the front have no idea about customer service , went to pick up an order , they said 5 minutes and then added 5 minutes 5 minutes and ended up waiting 25 minutes ,

The most beautiful experience, went for my brother s birthday and to treat him special I chose this vegan restaurant and it didn t disappoint me. We ordered Azifa, Pasta with pesto sauce and Veggie Combo with Cappuccino and Spiced Latte, each item was best in it s own way. The girl who served us was very generous, and nice, she gave the best service one could ask for. Thank you for the best experience.

Do we need a vegan Ethiopian restaurant - YES we do! This food, the service, and the ambiance was amazing. Cant wait to visit again.

La Vegan Ethiopian & Eritrean Vegan Cuisine is an absolute gem! The food is out of this world delicious, with amazing flavor combinations that leave a lasting impression. We had an incredible lentil spinach salad, delicious hammas, shiro wot, tikilgomen and the mushroom tins were to die for! The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, always ensuring a great experience. The owner is very nice and creates a warm atmosphere. The decor is fantastic, adding to the overall ambiance of the restaurant. I highly recommend La Vegan for anyone looking for a tasty and unforgettable meal. Went with the family and we all enjoyed our meals tremendously! Can t wait to go back for another incredible meal! Vegetarian options: All of it!!!! Dietary restrictions: Great vegan food and some gluten free options!

We have been here twice since we moved the the area and it does not disappoint! The food is absolutely delicious. The veggie platter is our favourite to share. We went there for my birthday and the team made me feel really special. One of our favourite restaurants we absolutely love it.

This place is beautiful and the food is every vegans heaven has a lot of options we had the veg platter and mushroom dish was impressed with the quality of the food the portions were perfect. Service was wonderful thank you we will be back.

Amazing vegan food with fantastic service.

A wonderful family owned vegan restaurant featuring Ethiopian cuisine. Large menu. Very flavourful food. Good service. Beautifully decorated too! Vegetarian options: 100% vegan restaurant as the name implies.

Tasty Ethiopian food with some unique dishes. As a lover of Ethiopian food I have been to a few Ethiopian restaurants in the city. But this was my first time at La Vegan. I always get the vegetarian platter so I can sample a little bit of everything. I am used to trying the gomen, ye meser wot tikilgomen no matter where I go! But it was such a lovely surprise to taste buticha, the couscous and the vegetarian tibs! The food was delicious and the decor was also fun!

Excellent food, really beautiful space, and really nice server. The combo plate had around 15 different dishes on it, and each dish had its own flavour and texture. There were a number I had never tried before and all were fantastic!! Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Ordered for delivery and the food was amazing. Decided to drop by in person and the space is really nice, friendly staff and great coffee.

I need to go with someone that knows the food so they can order for me. We had a great time but because we didnt know what to order what we ordered was tasty just didnt hit the spot. We had the combo special for 25 dollars. Parking: We parked in the neighborhood and walked.

Lovely server! Portions are huge!! I ordered veggie platter, lentil salad, and a spicy mushroom dish. Definitely a lot for 2 people. The food tastes great too! Definitely gonna come back next time for coffee experience!

Beautifully decorated place, very colorful and comfortable. The food is great, I would have had more pictures if we werent so excited to try all of the dishes. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and presentation of the dishes and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Will be returning soon and when I do Ill try to not devour everything before posting a few more pics!

The food here was amazing and the service was great.

Delicious food combined with attentive hospitality and a warm atmosphere. Thank you for a great birthday evening celebration!

Such a great addition to the city s vegan options. Good food and nice ambiance!

Had my birthday here and there were 11 of us. Everyone loved it. The food was delicious and the coffee ceremony was a nice end to the meal. The staff were all great too! Thank you La Vegan.

great restaurant. Hits every note. Fantastic staff, amazing vegan food, great menu with exotic recipes.

Oh my god, this is among the best Ethiopian food I ve ever had. I ve lived in the Washington, DC area (Silver Spring), which has a huge Ethiopian community, so I ve had *great* Ethiopian food. La Vegan is one of the two or three best.

Amazing experience and the coffee celebration was great too.

I have enjoyed the habesh vegan food and excellent service I would absolutely recommend this place.

Absolutely loved the food and the authenticity of Ethiopian flavors! My husband and I loved the fact its fully vegan! Cant wait come back :) Thank you

Hits all the checkmark one can expect from this place. Very well done food, ambience, and amazing hosts.

Delicious food and excellent treat love this place!!

The food is so delicious. We sampled much of the menu and found everything to have such rich and wonderful flavours. The atmosphere is both elegant and comfortable and the staff went above and beyond. Definitely will be back for more and will recommend La Vegan for any occasion.

I have been to La Vegan Ethiopian a few times. The ambiance at this restaurant is above average. The closest comparison I can make is to Planta Restaurant (at Yonge and Bloor). All the dishes are delicious. The food does take a little longer to arrive but after taking the first bite, its obvious that the food was freshly made. In addition, the service at the restaurant is top-notch! Highly recommended!

Vegetarian options: Luv the food.... Food

I highly recommend this restaurant even if youre not a vegan or vegetarian. The food is delicious and the service was wonderful

Food was excellent. Service was a little slow, but there was only one server for the whole place. 5 star review is because I was there with my daughter, who has no idea how much I love her or how proud I am of her. Any place we spend time together gets 5 stars.....

This place is awesome. Been on my list for awhile now and it did not disappoint me. The food is so tasty and the staff and owners were very friendly. Service is quick. I want to try the coffee ceremony next time. Vegetarian options: Vegan everything! Dietary restrictions: Very everything. Parking: Green P street parking. Kid-friendliness: Fun place. Wheelchair accessibility: There is.

Loved everything we tried! First time here and we all enjoyed the flavourful and spiced vegan dishes. We ordered the vegetarian combo, which was large enough to satisfy three of us. The hummus (made with chickpeas and tahini) was the best hummus Ive had! Wish I could buy a jar of it. The Tofu Zigni was packed with so much spices and flavour that every mouthful was an experience of its own. I got the tofu spicy with berbere sauce-it packs quite a punch so if you like spicy definitely go for that! The coffee ceremony was a nice way to end our early dinner. The incense was a nice touch though a bit strong for me. There was plenty of coffee for 5 of us even though we ordered for 4. Comes with fresh popcorn as well. The service was impeccable and the decor was cozy and culturally relevant. Theres parking on the street and its accessible by TTC. They also have another restaurant called Rendezvous if youd prefer meat options. Otherwise, delicious vegetarian / vegan restaurant, well be back

The veggie combo was enormous but Im glad I got it because I got to taste a little bit of everything! Im not super familiar with Ethiopian cuisine but it was delicious! The service was quick and friendly. Vegetarian options: I think everything is vegan? If not definitely all vegetarian so many options to choose from!

Absolutely gorgeous restaurant with beautiful staff and amazingly DELICIOUS food!!! I absolutely will be returning soon! Thanks for the lovely evening! Food

The best! So cute! So yummy!!

I m not vegan or vegetarian as I m sure a lot of people who have reviewed the place aren t either, but I was stopping through Toronto around Danforth and felt like grabbing some Ethiopian, which I think I ve only had one other time. I ended up having the mushroom dish that the server recommended to me and it was phenomenal. Totally blew my mind. The ambience was beautiful, with a live performer playing they keyboard. Great experience. Dietary restrictions: It s just great that I could bring my family who are lactose-intolerant here.

Just ok. Not as flavorful or varied as other veg Ethiopian I have had.

best food ever!! very fresh and consistent test love it I recommend this place

Always forgets half your order on Uber eats

Beautiful ambience Delicious food Warm hospitality Good to go for food lovers Pure vegan

La Vegan Ethiopia & Eritrea restaurant in Toronto is the best choice to eating vegan food You will enjoy the food, the serving and the Atmosphere.,specially if you come with family and friends The best option in Toronto Danforth, Ave 1450 La Vega restaurant Make sure you ask about the coffee ceremony you will have great experience Vegetarian options: So you have more options like Mushroom Dulet and Ye Misir Tips and Tofu zigni more options you have if you come to eat at La Vegan Restaurant

everything was delicious, portion sizes are very generous, friendly staff, 10000/10 would recommend

Amazing food, great decor Vegetarian options: Vegan restaurant Dietary restrictions: Great for vegans

This place is a must! The food was incredible and the vibes were amazing. So worth it Vegetarian options: They have gluten free injera.

My party of five came here on a Friday evening as a walk-in. It was busy but we were seated and served right away. The service was so warm. They noticed we were celebrating birthdays and brought out sparklers and bubbly as a surprise. The art and decor in the space are incredible. It feels very homey. Lastly the food and the coffee ceremony were great. I d recommend sharing a platter because there is so much variety in the curries so there s something for everyone.

The food was delicious and warm. Had a veggie platter and potato salad, both of which were amazing. The restaurant has a beautiful ambiance, with local art all displayed all over. The staff is pleasant and service was top notch. Do have their local coffee at the end of your meal.

Delicious food, generous portions (quite big didn t expect it), very fresh and healthy, and really nice interior. Highly recommend.

Great coffee and service

Fantastic food and service, and so many wonderful things to try on the menu.

The best Ethiopian I ve ever had. And boy do I love Ethiopian. The la vegan combo is fantastic! Very hearty. I strongly recommend.

this is one of the best Ethiopian restaurants in Toronto ... the food is delicious, light and easily digestible, sparingly oiled and not greasy, and served in generous portions ... the menu is vast and has an incredible selection, including gluten-free injera ... La Vegan has unique tibs and dishes not offered at other Ethiopian restaurants in the city ... the service is gracious and exceptional ... the servers were present, listened attentively, remained kind, and promptly addressed every request with a genuine smile ... the restaurant ambiance is clean, bright, warm, inviting, and elegantly decorated with culturally classic Ethiopian and Eritrean ornamentation ... overall La Vegan provides a classy dining experience and still keeps prices comparable to nearby restaurants in Little Ethiopia on the Danforth .... my friend and i remain very impressed, deeply pleased, and eager to return for another amazing meal and dining experience ... ive eaten at numerous Ethiopian restaurants in Toronto over the past 10+ years, and La Vegan ranks as one of the very best by far ... I highly recommend you visit this hidden gem for an unforgettable victual delight :) Vegetarian options: everything on the menu is vegan Dietary restrictions: gluten-free injera available ... all vegan--no animal products on the menu

Such an incredible vibe at this restaurant with incredible tasting food too. Went off peak hours so it was quiet. The food was INCREDIBLE and we re now adding this as an every time visit when we go to Toronto (from Markham)

We came here to celebrate Halloween as a family. My mom is vegan and she was happy she could taste my food for once. We got the vegan platter and a kale salad plus spiced tea latte and a mango drink. It was all very delicious and tasty. The platter had a lot of samples of all the items. If you want to try Ethiopian food I suggest this place highly. Vegetarian options: Very varied vegetarian and vegan options Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and vegan options

Such a cozy upscale-yet-chill vibe inside, and great food. Get the mushroom tibs!

Not only was the food incredible, but the staff were so generous and hospitable. I cant wait to come back and bring all my friends. 10/10, run dont walk to La Vegan

The atmosphere is the first thing that struck us here. The decor is so beautifully put together - it s colourful and cozy and inviting. Perfect for a group dinner or date night. Our server was so kind and helped us with some menu questions. We shared the platter for 2 and added a mushroom dish - and our party of three left completely stuffed. The food is so flavourful I can t get enough. Definitely give it a try you won t be disappointed.

Eating at La Vegan is easily one of my top tier dining experiences of 2023. IT IS NOT A FANCY RESTAURANT. It s design is stylishly grounded; the staff are warm, attentive and skilled; the food is delectable authentic Ethiopian cuisine done to its best for very reasonable prices. Words can t even describe the smell of this place.. combine that with the music, decore and food your 5 sense will be overly delighted Best to go with your friends/family because y all will make memories here. This place is criminally under-patronized so grab the people you love and come to this restaurant.

Very cute restaurant, highly recommend. Delicious veggie platter!

The food was amazing, we took the La Vegan Veggie Combo dish which includes many small portions of many dishes in the menu, which is a great way to taste everything. I have to say every single item was very tasty and the whole meal was huge. Additionally, we took the traditional coffee with the ceremony, which was a great experience. I highly recommend this place, will definitely go again! Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan and delicious! Dietary restrictions: Everything is vegan and delicious!

Such an amazing and caring place! Wonderful!

La Vegan was my first experience with Ethiopian food and what a way to be introduced to it !! From the get-go, we were served by an Ethiopian student who made us feel right at home and helped us order what we wanted. The portions are ENORMOUS, the food is fresh and delicious, and perfectly spiced. Dont go to Toronto without checking this place out !

So far the best Ethiopian food Ive had in Toronto and great atmosphere too. Vegetarian options: Vegan menu Dietary restrictions: Gluten friendly

First time trying Ethiopian food and it was fantastic! Great to have a vegan spot to go to that leans toward the healthy side with lots of fresh vegetable ingredients and whole grains. Atmosphere is very nice inside as well. Dietary restrictions: Vegan, gluten free Parking: Green p across the street

5/5 on everything. The food, the ambience, the service

I could not rate La Vegan more highly. From the moment you step in, the decor and vibe are fantastic and welcoming. The menu is easy on the eyes, and the food came quickly. Every bite was delicious, I highly reccomend the Veggie Combo to try a little bit of everything. Our server, Hana, was wonderful. We had a coffee to finish, which was without a doubt one of the best I have ever had. Thank you La Vegan!!

This was the most fabulous experience. I highly recommend this beautiful location for its delicious food, outstanding service and lovely, decorated interior. The food was sublime!

I ve been here twice now and each time did not disappoint! We ordered the veggie combo, which included injera and a sample of the main dishes. We also ordered the mushroom tibs, which was very umami. There were 3 of us who shared this platter and we all left satisfied.

Good service Good experience Good food

Best Ethiopian in the city! The food was amazing, we got the platter and mushroom tibs and everything was so flavourful. Also the inside is really nice, just a great atmosphere. Also they brought over a nice little bottle of sparkling wine and sparklers for her bday without asking which was a really nice touch. Can t wait to go again!

Absolutely delicious vegan food! Very beautiful dining area and decorations, loved the vibe there. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. We ordered the injera mixed veg plate and absolutely loved it, so fresh and very healthy! Give this place a try!

Great food and ambiance. We got the platter and mushroom tibs, delicious!

Amazing food !!! Dietary restrictions: Amazing vegan food

Were happy to find a vegan option and Ethiopian but the service was practically non-existent. Restaurant wasnt that busy and server never came by except when we were all done (was ready to head to the washroom to fill up our water glasses). The pesto was a bit too oily too. Wont go back.

Beautiful restaurant and excellent service. This was my first time trying Ethiopian food and I was amazed!! Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend stopping by here if you get a chance! Vegetarian options: Entirely vegan restaurant

We happened upon this place by chance and are so glad we did. The staff were extremely friendly and the atmosphere was bright and beautiful. Ethiopian paintings and textiles line the walls. The food was INCREDIBLE!! There is an amazing variety with such fantastic flavours! The staff recommended a couple things and they definitely steered us right!! We will be back again for sure!

La Vegan is a lovely experience. The ambiance is warm and inviting, the staff friendly, the food inventive and delicious. I ve always enjoyed the vegetarian combo platters at Ethiopian restaurants (especially La Vegan s sister restaurant, Rendezvous-Vous), but it was exciting as a vegetarian to open up the menu at La Vegan and have so many choices. We did opt for the combo platter so we could sample a wide variety of the dishes, but on different occasions we ve also ordered the mushroom tibs and kitfo - unique dishes which offer a spin on the traditional meat versions. Today we also tried the hummus appetizer which was surprising and delicious - much tastier than any hummus I ve had before. Kid-friendly, too! Especially if your kid, like mine, loves to eat with their hands :)

Besttttt food. One of the best restaurants in the city. Healthy and tasty! Great portions. Great prices. Great service. Great ambiance. I ve been here a few times now and they never disappoint.

theres literally nothing negative about this place, great food, ambience, staff, consistency with what i order.

Got mushrooms tibs. They were really good. Finally something vegetarian and which is not just selling mixed vegetables with some beans on tha name of vegetarian

Delicious Ethiopian cuisine! Fresh, vaied Vegetarian options: All the food is vegan! Food : 4/5 |

The mushroom dish was good but all the other elements on the veg sampler were quite bland. Service is also quite slow even when its not full. Its a very nice, bright, clean restaurant but nowhere near as tasty as many other Ethiopian restaurants in the area. Rendezvous is still my favourite. Vegetarian options: All vegan

I had a great first time dinning experience here. Staff were very nice the food was amazing. Great value, super fresh and flavourful.

This is a delicious addition to the vegan choices in the city s restaurant scene. Ethiopian delights galore. Service is full of charm and patience. Drinks are reasonable and the food is too good! Too good because you have to be careful with the generous portions. I can t wait to go back felt right at home.

Highly recommend! If you are looking for a nice vegan spot that can fill you up, this it it. The portions are great, the pricing is fair. My fav so far is their veggie platter with sautéed mushroom added.

Beautiful restaurant. Loved the decor and the food was all delicious! Highly recommended.

Never could imagine that a place serving vegan Ethiopian and Eritrean food could be such a good experience of dining out. The place was not crowded, although it is a reasonably large facility. The cocktails and food dishes, including the salads were so tasty and yummy that we all over ate a bit. If you havent tried this cuisine or dont enjoy it, I would strongly recommend to visit La Vegan once and you will become fan of it, your experience and opinion will change for sure. Glad that we had been there. Vegetarian options: It is a vegan outlet
