I had the Caesar salad and it was amazing! I wish I had got ‘chicken’ in it too. The Poutine tasted great, but it didn’t look very appetising. Great portion sizes.
The restaurant was in a great location, really easy to find and the service was super quick!
Not sure why a vegetarian/vegan would like to eat a "faux"burger, dog or fish when the real veg options such as Tofu, Tempeh, lentils and other pulses are so lovely being themselves. Anyways, I guess The Hogtown Vegan goes to tickle our funny bones with such crossover options such as the pictured "faux"fish & chips (tempeh steaks) while I stuck to the real McCoy of Tofu salad. The marketing gimmick aside, the food was delicious, the service attentive, the locale not too crowded as we came for lunch around 14:00. (I've posted as well their current (May 2019) Salad & Mains menu for the items chosen.
I go back regularly and have a couple of favourites! I love that this place mainly because it is 100% vegan and does not make money from animal exploitation in addition to having yummy comfort foods. Thank you Hogtown Vegan! End speciesism. Live vegan!
Wow! If you want a great place to explore just how tasty vegan food can be, this is your place.
My recommendation: try the pulled “pork” and fresh cut fries! I think I devoured mine in 7mins 🙊
Thank you Hogtown Vegan for providing this delicious gem on Bloor!
I have a friend who is a carnivore dedicant. However, they also love vegan food. Everyone so often, they'll get a hankering for some tasty, tasty tofu wings and when they do, we go to the Hogtown Vegan.
We've had some great meals there and the prices are really fair. I like their range of drinks and the variety of fun vegan food they serve. The service is always friendly and reasonably quick considering how busy they are every time I go.
My friend swears by their buffalo unchicken wings and I've had some great sandwiches and burgers there. Their fries are super tasty, too! Overall, highly recommended!
Had the unchicken and waffles. Didn’t expect it to actually taste like chicken but it did, and was very good! Side of Mac and cheese was really great too! Could have done with some more syrup to really marry the chicken and waffle together, but was still very good!
Their chicken and waffles were amazing, especially compared to a few places I've been to, and their mac and cheese is one of the best I've had so far, even had a little bit of that grease feeling I've been craving so much. This place is amazing for comfort food!
Love this place. The unchicken sandwich and southern combo are my favourites. The portion sizes are also quite generous. Vegan comfort food at its best!
Came from out of town to check this place out because I had heard so much. Did not disappoint. One thing I miss since going vegetarian is having everyday food that isn't just expensive vegetables. This place filled that craving 🖤
Had "Bacon cheeseburger".
- Amazing taste ! What I like most was Burger petty was less rubbery compare to other Vegan restaurants.
- Fries were a let down, not at all crispy!
I only came here because my friend visiting Toronto is vegan. I was resigned to being hungry after... but boy was I surprised! The food looked great, tasted fantastic, and we were stuffed! UnChicken wings were amazing - buffalo sauce FTW. Mac and not Cheese tasted like the best regular Mac I have found... how is it not cheese? What am i eating if it's not chicken? Mind blown.
I have been wanting to try this place for quite a long time now. For a drink I ordered dark and stormy, which was very well made. Loved the taste of ginger beer which was quite strong. For appetizer I got Shiitake Fried Clams. I had no idea what to expect but I actually ended up liking it. The dip for it however wasn't my cup of tea. For main course I ordered unchicken and waffle. The waffle was very delicious and loved the mashed sweet potato. The tofu chicken was good, I added hot sauce for more flavour. I wasn't the big fan of the greens but they did taste good. Overall experience, I do recommend this place. The food is good, the staff is very friendly and whether you're vegetarian or not, this is a good place to try.
Price-wise: it's like any other restaurant in the area. My entire bill came to $35 I think, which included a drink, appetizer and a main course. Not cheap for one person but I also wanted to try different things.
Went here for brunch recently. The “Chicken” & Waffles here were great! Honestly one of the better vegan versions of “chicken” I’ve had. It had a similar texture to chicken fingers, and the taste was pretty convincing too. I’m not a vegan, but I do enjoy the occasional vegan meal. The waffle wasn’t the greatest, too dense for my liking. I might be back to try other “chicken” options. The scrambled “eggs” had a bit of a weird aftertaste, but the texture was pretty bang-on to the real deal. The potatoes were pretty good also!

My first impression of The Hogtown Vegan was a good one. The server was friendly and accommodating. She explained the menu to me and recommended items for me to try. The place was quiet and clean. Once ordered the meals came out in less than 10 minutes. These three meal items from THV were excellent. The whipped cinnamon butter went well with the waffles. The Collard greens tasted good. You can't go wrong with maple Syrup. The unchicken and seitan Chicken-Fried were cooked well, crunchy to the bite but they could use more seasoning. Mashed potato was served with the Seitan Chicken-Fried with gravy. Again more seasoning could improve the taste. I really enjoyed the Fries Supremacy appetizer. I could have eaten as the meal. Loved the taste and overall presentation. I also like the fact that every thing in the establishment was fully vegan. I didn't have to worry about cross contamination All three meals cost $44.07. They do provide takeout containers. More often than not vegan establishments will cost more. I will be returning to try the other meal items. I recommend this establishment to everyone interested in healthy eating. 4 out of 5 because no one is perfect. 😁
The staff at Hogtown vegan is so friendly and attentive! This coupled with the vegan (with gluten free options) comfort food makes the Hogtown vegan one of my favourite brunch and lunch places.
The food is always good, but not a healthy meal at all. As their websites says, it's vegan comfort food so expect it to be heavier, oilier and saltier than other light options. The being said Hogtown is more of a treat.
The Mac and cheese is very lacking and tastes just like Diaya cheese style shreds (very oily and bad aftertaste) but everything else has been great.
I wish that they would also do lunch menus during the weekend, because while brunch is great it's not as extensive as the full lunch menu.
Lastly, on weekends there is no reservations and you will not be seated until your entire party arrives. So make sure you aren't late!
If your looking for vegan comfort food than this is the place! Seriously delicious and trendy! We polished off everything we ordered and we can't wait to go back. Not only was it vegan but they also had a variety of gluten free options and a great selection of desserts. One of my favorite vegan restaurants so far!
