My first response to Veggielicious? “I FEEL SO INCLUDED!” Vegetarians know too well the disappointment of the endless march of uncreative dishes that make up the meatless options at most restaurants. Luckily, Toronto has a wealth of vegan and veggie places that make me wonder if carnivores know what they’re missing. And if you’re trying to pinch a few pennies, Veggielicious has your back!

Some great establishments are offering Veggielicious specials, all of which are vegan, and the website handily points out whether or not the restaurant offers something for meat lovers, too. What else is cool? The restaurants aren’t all downtown, but range outside of Toronto, as well. ROAD TRIP! The specials aren’t all prix fixe, but a mix and match of different ways to spread the veggie love.

For a full list of participating restaurants, click here, and let’s hope it catches on! Next year, it would be cool to see non-veggie-specific places creating delicious vegetarian menus just for this event. A girl can dream. 

Veggielicious runs until April 24th.
