The Hogtown Vegan

I want to give six stars. This place is amazing. They are very knowledgeable and considerate about gluten allergy. We tried a lot different things on the menu and they were all great. Thank you so much, we'll be back to try the rest of the menu soon.

Would give five stars and I am not vegan nor vegetarian. Went with a friend who is vegan and spoke highly of it. I went with the unchicken wings under the assumption that it was tofu. They were delicious and had a meaty texture, one problem though. I should have asked instead of assuming because in the menu it doesn't mention what protein is used. Turned out to be seitan, I am gluten intolerant. Sunday night turned into a burning gut hell. Everything else was perfectly fine, but management should make ingredient list a priority, just because it's vegan doesn't make it better or safe. If you want to win converts to the vegan side it really shouldn't kill you, what if I had celiac disease?

The Hogtown Vegan is THE place to go for a vegan night out in Toronto if you're looking for cozy classics - fried wings, mac and cheese, chicken and waffles, fish and chips, plus a host of mouthwatering burgers, poutine, nachos and dessert. The menu is well marked for what is or can be made gluten free, and of course everything is vegan - guaranteed milk and egg free. The staff are welcoming and accommodating with further dietary needs, and the space is warm and inviting. A great place to go solo, on a date, with friends, or for the whole family to enjoy a night out. My spend is higher than normal due to getting a full 3 course meal plus a drink - worth it, but more than others might get.
