Food is decent. It's great that they have a gluten free eggs benny. Potatoes were definitely undercooked. It is always busy and a zoo to get in - not necessarily worth the wait to get in.
Expect a creative mix of flavorful dishes with a fresh, vibrant vibe that's kept loyal fans coming back for over 20 years.

I visited Fresh on Bloor street west on a quiet evening. Despite being an old patron at front street location, I gave a call prior to visiting since it was my first time at bloor street location.
I am vegan, and allergic to gluten and soy and wished to eat something on the appetizer side. I ordered a soup and poutine which had topping of cheese sauce and miso gravy. Being allergic to soy, I requested to give only fries with cheese sauce. To my dismay, when the poutine arrived - it was a plate of completely SOGGY and COLD fries on one side and a lump of dry cheese ( it was not even shreeded cheese- just a lump) dumped on another side.
Honestly, I was offended to even look at it and how a kitchen is called a kitchen ( of a plant based restaurant) and chef are called chef? I checked with server- was it not suppose to be cheese sauce - he very proudly mentioned that “ maybe if there was miso gravy, the cheese had melted to become cheese sauce”!!! REALLY ??
I was again offended even to discuss or argue about it as that soggy cheap cold fries with lump of dry cheese WAS NOT worth my time when I already wasted money.
Just an advise - if you really want to hire people who read the books and work in your kitchen- you may want to pickup college or school kids who may do a better job and likely be creative - but please do not offend patrons to waste their money on a plant based restaurant run by “ culinary chefs”! A total shame that one cannot get normal fries right. The soup was another disaster!
No thank you!

Ordering catering from Ghazale for events is the best decision you can make. They are very timely, all of the food comes at the perfect temperature, packaged simply and well, with food labels and all. It is a great option if you are having a party where people are vegan, vegetarian and/or gluten free. Very grateful to Ghazale for making such wonderful food, and providing great service. It is a big help and everyone in my community has loved your food.
A great spot for unique appetizers and a variety of options, making it a hit among those searching for standout flavors.

Took my grandchildren for lunch. We had checked 15 restaurants before we found this one that has gluten free options including soy sauce. My grandson said best in Toronto. The appetizer noodle salad was the best I have had. My roll had a salmon paste in the middle I didn't like as much if it were cucumber and avocado. But lots of other options.
Known for fantastic service and accommodating options, this spot offers delicious portions that keep visitors coming back for more.

We ordered gluten free ramen. They advertise "gluten free" in big bold letters outside. But we ended up getting regular ramen and when we asked them about it, they said they couldn't enter "gluten free" in their system. We did get the meal for free but I went with someone with an allergy to gluten and this is subpar service on Kenzo's end
The food here is delicious, and the staff are so kind and attentive. Wicky is awesome and always makes my dishes gluten free (I have celiac). Would recommend coming here to anyone.
With a bright atmosphere, ample seating, and a great patio, it's a cozy spot perfect for working or relaxing with tempting treats nearby.

Not the greatest food - or coffee - but there’s something about the atmosphere here that I like; lots of windows and you can usually get a table here. Good place to work on your laptop or phone.
Patio option is nice in summer.
Extensive cake and pie menu is tempting. The chocolate macaroons are a good gluten free option.
I think it’s really the spaciousness that brings me back here.
Just perfect. Went there with my wife for her birthday. We're big fans of Japan and this was like we were right back in Tokyo (with a sprinkle of North America added).
Delicious food. Courteous staff. Amazing atmosphere. And they somehow catered to my gluten intolerance perfectly. Fantastic.
