Fresh Restaurant & Lounge in Richmond

When I enter to the restaurant, I was kinda surprised with how noisy the place was and how many guest are inside. I also didn't know the restaurant is completely vegetarian. Even the burgers in the many are vegetarian and it's not marked clearly. My friend told me those were not the real burgers. However, I was AMAZED by the taste of the food. Really, really great. And also with the size of the portions. A few downsides and reasons for 4 stars instead 5: - the most important, the tables are too close and small that it's almost impossible to go between and sit with not moving tables or disturb all people around. If you're looking to a private place, it's not the one because you're gonna feel like sitting with at least 4 more people - noisy - the credit card machine has a minimum tip of 18% and it's not really easy to avoid. I like to be generous when I like the food and the service, but I ABSOLUTELY HATE when somebody wants to advise me on this way what I should do

This a great vegan restaurant. We tried their salad bowls and burrito. We also asked for extra olive oil and vinegar which they provided. They also have vegan cake which I would like to try next time. The food is fresh as the name implies and tastes great too. They also had a brand new light fruity bear which we tried. It was great as well.

One of the best vegan/vegetarian restaurant around the corner. Friendly staff and pleasant ambience. Each dish outdo the other in taste and presentation. Definitely a go to place!

I am not vegetarian or vegan but I am health conscious, this was my second vegan restaurant in as many days. I loved it. The poutine was super awesome, the burger was hearty and reminiscent of my beloved beef burger, the soup was a robust and savoury delight.

Great atmosphere. It's a pretty loud place, which makes it kid-friendly in my book. The waitress was genuinely nice. We had a veggie burger which was simply excellent, and a soba bowl which wasn't cheap ($20.5) but was filling and tasty. We tried two kinds of chocolate shakes, both of which were excellent.

This is my favorite location mainly because of the parking lot right next to it. The menu is consistent but I find the foods I order are very salty, I'm feeling bloated and uncomfortable

Loved it! I've yet to have a dish here that I didn't love! Burgers, Salads, Bowls - they're all great!Had the squash tacos and phytosalad this time. Yum!

Really nice place for vegans and also for non-vegans. The food is really good with some innovations and the presentation skills are amazing. The staff is really friendly and service is spectacular. Must try place !!

For non vegans they have the “Beyond Meat” burger. If you didn’t Know you would not even question it. All the other dishes are fantastic and full of flavor. The menu items are almost infinitely customizable by adding and substituting many options and they are used to taking custom orders. This place is usually busy so it’s a good idea to book in advance.

Absolutely loved my clubhouse wrap!! The garlic mayo dipping sauce with my fries was also so good! The menu here is extensive, so many options I had a tough time deciding on my meal. This place is always packed when I’m here. The service was fabulous despite how busy it was. A great vegan/vegetarian option in Toronto!!

Came with a party of 5, on a busy Saturday night and the food came really fast. Super delicious. I highly recommend the squash tacos.Staff was also super amazing, fast, polite and gave us great suggestions.

The best place for healthy and delicious vegetarian foods. Servers are friendly and foods are served quickly. You can choose a size of the salad and juices like S or M. Fried onion rings are my favourite. But it's not spacious enough between tables and a table is too small to have dishes, water bottles and cups. All in all, a great place to go for vegetarians, healthy eaters, or people wh are on a diet.

We've been ordering from Fresh for a while and have always enjoyed their food. More recently we've notice some changes that we don't really understand. First it was the addition of fries to a number of items that were not option with a pretty significant price increases.Today with out pick up, after unpacking our order, I was presented with just 4 onion rings. 4 for $8. The container wasn't even full! The food is great! But it seems like everytime we order for pickup there's a disappointment.

There restaurant has a great feel to it. Automatic points for being vegan. The menu was comprehensive. The service was polite, prompt, quick. The appetizers were flavourful. Problems arose when we got our mains. The 9 layer burrito didn’t even have nine ingredients. It was just rice rolled in a tortilla. The blt burger was okay. Thanks to the tempeh in it. The cauliflower tacos again had no flavour at all. I was so disappointed because I convinced everyone to go and then the food cane and it wasn’t good. I would have liked this place to become my go to. Wishful thinking and all :-(

Food: 4/5Service: 5/5Ambiance: 5/5Value: 3/5Cleanliness: 5/5I had the BBQ burger as they did not serve the Beyond Burger during brunch. The onion rings and the fries were the best part of the meal. I did not love the sesame bun as the skin was a little chewy. The ambiance of the restaurant was a plus, it was packed on Sunday for brunch. I would recommend this restaurant for brunches with friends and family. It has a chic atmosphere.

Great vegan food at a reasonable price... Nice size portions and friendly staff... Only 4 stars because the place is very loud... I've eaten here many times and tried various tables around the restaurant and haven't been able to find a quiet table yet...

As a non-vegan consumer, this was an experience that changed the way i view the lifestyle of vegan and gluten free diets. The service was spectacular and the food we were served went above and beyond what we expected. Must haves: Squash Tacos and the new Beyond Meat Cheeseburger

Yummy Food and it's all vegan! So far I've liked every dish I've eaten from them. Good portions and greatly filling.

My friend taken me to this restaurant and i really like their food and their service. It is definitely one the best vegan restaurant in the city. I am giving 5 star to this restaurant.

I go there all the time. My favorites:Acai bowl, the soup/salad/cornbread combo, buffalo cauliflower, tiger fresh bowl on rice, monster protein salad, carrot cake(All the fresh bowls are amazing, brunch is so good too)Pictures: acai bowl, soup/salad/cornbread combo, beach bowl, blueberry almond pancakes, taco/tex something brunch plate

If I could five it 6 stars I would. Makes veggie food approachable. Services is always amazing. The whole vibe of the joint is something to take-in.

Fresh is one of my favourite vegetarian restaurants!! The food selection is wonderful, and there is something on the menu for everyone! A great atmosphere and friendly staff also make this place a nice spot to enjoy a meal! Yummy and filling food choices, too. Great restaurant!!

like the dining environment and it is not aas crowded as I expect. They have almost 20 soups for us to choose, which is a lot comparing to other hot pot restaurants! The beef and pork is okay, and I also like their steamed dumplings and one-bite dessert is just right for me!

Love this place for the dinner and lunch menu! I've had great service every time I've gone. The food is decent but I've had better vegan food in the city. I wouldn't recommend the breakfast special.. it was a huge disappointment :( but I give it 4 stars because of how great the service was and the dinner menu which is much better. I also would highly suggest their chocolate cake! So yummy!

I dont like all the menu changes over the past few months. They removed my favourite dish. They removed the cornbread. And the removed the green poutine. On top of all that the prices have gone up. I don't plan to visit as often as I used to. I did enjoy my beach bowl however.

Surprisingly big, doesn't seem like it from outside. Food was delicious and customer service was outstanding

Went there for brunch twice in the last couple of months and had some of the best service by the staff that I have had in months. Great people and tasty vegan pancakes. What more can we ask for? ^_^

One of my favourite restaurants in the area. The food is always great and the staff are always really friendly and kind!

Female Cashier on Sunday February 23rd 2020. @4:15pm. Please pay attention when telling guests to wait 5 minutes for a simple smoothie, forgetting about said smoothie and then causing that guest to wait 15 minutes for it without any apology. The smoothie was right behind you, and I was in a rush.First time I ever had bad service here. Otherwise it would be a five star rating.

Very friendly and passionate staff. It's not cheap, but the atmosphere is great and food was also tasty (for a vegetarian meal, that is!). Had service been a little faster, I would have given 5 stars.

Server was awesome as she changed our table on request, banana pancakes were really good and fluffy, vegan bacon had burnt taste and beans had too much salt, had a warm ginger bomb which was amazing and strong... tofu scramble with spinach tasted good as well

The tiger bowl looked fresh in the photo on Uber Eats. Being sick and in self-isolation, I was really looking forward to some healthy vegetables. This was a soggy, salty, oily and overcooked pile of poorly spiced tofu and rice, complete with an errant hair and a couple tablespoons of wilted vegetables. It was like ordering from Ho Lee Chow but with a smaller portion and less flavour. Fresh standards seem very different now than when the chain first opened 20 years ago. This is not at all healthy food. I want to be forgiving during this pandemic but am upset that I spent money on food marketed as "fresh" and feel misled, especially at a time when I need good nutrition.

Having never been to Fresh but hearing a lot of great things from various vegans I worked with I had planned on coming here for a while. My experience to keep it short was great, everything tasted great and the prices reflect the town its in (Toronto) very well. We tried one of their bowls, burgers, corn bread, onion rings and had some juices to go. The onion rings were great, I paired it with the spread that came with the cornbread which made it even better. The corn bread wasn't perfect, it was slightly dry but that was solved by the spread it came with. The burger was possibly the best vegan burger I've had other than beyond meat which to me is the pinnacle of vegan burgers. I had a to go ginger juice, it was so strong and burned going down which I loved, it was the highlight of the experience for me.

Amazing doesn't even begin to describe the quality of food here. I went vegan in January and have been on the hunt for a good vegan restaurant that had more options than a black bean burger or falafel. I was a bit apprehensive given the prices but boy was it worth it! The grain burger was SO much better than I had expected, and the mushroom gravy was delicious. I haven't had carrot cake (my favourite kind of cake) since going vegan and was super excited to see it on the menu. The BEST carrot cake I have ever had. I'm so happy I stumbled across this place and am very excited to try the rest of the menu!

Fresh is fresh! Macrobiotic w a Ginger Fireball tea. Nutritious & Delicious

Really tasty vegan food, and great service. We had a movie to catch, and our waiter was super friendly and helpful, making sure we were in and out within 45 mins. I ordered the squash tacos, which were phenomenal. Would definitely come back here to try other items on the menu.

The best Vegan/Vegetarian restaurant! The whole group loved all their food... such delicious food and great quality from starter to main dishes. Great and fast service! Totally recommend this restaurant

Loved their salad bowls and soup. A nice experience if you are a vegetarian or vegan. Prices are a bit on the high side but staff are super friendly making it worth it. Unfortunately, there is a lot of construction going on which takes away from the vibe, but definitely not from the quality.

Had a great surprise lunch here. While in Toronto on busniess I saw this restaurant by chance and stopped by. This is currently an entirely Plantbased restaurant. Although it was lunchtime I was met and sat quickly. The restaurant was busy and in full swing. All the food I saw looked amazing. Although my margarita was ok, my food was amazing. The sweet potato tacos were phenomenal and tha patas bravos made my belly happy. Food was served hot and quick. Massive non-alcoholic drink list, Kombucha flavors. The server was lovely. There is an option here for grab and go juices, digestive and immune shots etc. Will definitely go back.

We had reservations for a group of 10 and were warmly received and seated. I am not a vegetarian but keep an open mind so I was looking forward to the experience. Our entries, fried broccoli and onion rings were excellent and delicious. As more of our group arrived our server Elle was very attentive and made sure that everyone had an order. Our main course was equally delicious and the portions were satisfying. Having never been to a Fresh before I can say I would come back anytime.

Ordered the Cobb Salad with House Dressing. Very tasty. Staff are doing a good job too!

I've been here several times over the years, and have always really liked the food and service. Many years ago, I used to think vegan food would be limited to salads and vegetables but places like this have completely opened my eyes to the reality that there are no limits on how good vegan food can really be. Will definitely come back here more often as I slowly phase meat out of my diet.

Great vegan restaurant! I visited two locations, both Spadina and Eglinton, I prefer to visit the Eglinton branch(atmosphere, location, and interior). Taste is always great and pretty quick to be served food. Whenever I go this place, I’m highly satisfied w/ food as well as staffs. If you’re looking for a fresh and nice vegan restaurant near midtown or downtown, I recommend the Fresh restaurant :)

Best place when you wanna feel healthy but still eat as if you are not. Delish menu. Fries are my fave.

I like this place. Big menu full of great food options. I left full, but not feeling gross. The onion rings are amazing probably the best onion rings I ever had. The pea soup was flavorful and had a little bit of heat. The Flying Cashew burger was big and delicious, I loved the addition of avocado on it. Highly recommended for good healthy food and good sized portions.

Food is always fresh and delicious. Servers are friendly and quick.

Tons of vegan options to tantalize the taste buds. Have to come back to try the onion rings and sweet potato fries.

I have been to Fresh countless times and regularly recommend it, because they are very food-aware and careful with my allergies. Today, however, I had a very disappointing experience. My boyfriend called to order the avocado toast, confirmed my allergies, and then asked if there was any tofu on the dish, as I cannot digest tofu normally, and it makes my stomach hurt for days after I eat it (however, it is not an allergy). The staff member said there was no tofu, and we picked up the toast and brought it home. When I was unpacking it, it definitely appeared that the vegan feta was tofu, so we called to ask. The staff member said that she "forgot" that the vegan feta is tofu when she was taking the order- and there is not a small amount of vegan feta on this dish (see pic). I tried scraping the tofu off, but it was adhered to the avocado and I couldn't eat any of it. This was extremely disappointing and not a typical Fresh experience at all.

Love this place! Great vegan food - fresh and tasty - with friendly service. The cornbread is awesome, and so are the salads. One of my favourites is the soup/salad combo, but truthfully I’ve always loved everything I’ve tried here. Can’t go wrong!
