Good vegan options and knowledgeable staff - Edit
The menu is primarily non-vegan, however they often have vegan mayo in the kitchen if you ask for it. I've seen some reviews that the burger buns are not vegan but I have always been told by staff that they are. Their gravy is also vegan! I like to get the veggie wrap with no cheese, add vegan mayo and veggie chicken strips. Fries and gravy on the side. Their veggie burger is the bomb. Their veggie chili is vegan and uses TVP as the meat. I wouldn't try to veganize any of their salads. I've tried and failed too many times lol...yuck.
Read moreIt's great for large groups or birthday parties where everyone can find something they can eat. I'd say it's 3/5 vegan friendly and 4/5 lacto/ovo veg friendly.
Pros: - A few good quality vegan options, - bar side is comfy , - staff are awesome and food is hot and fast
Cons: - They dont always have the vegan mayo, - right side dining room seats NOT comfy at all

Wonderful service, delicious food - Edit
Tried Brewery bay thanks to happy cow and we weren't disappointed at all. The server knew exactly what it meant it be vegan and made great suggestions. She even caught the fact that the sauce had honey in it and suggested another one. The fries are to die for. Can't wait to go back.

Nice to have this many options in Orillia - Edit
Our first time here. So impressed to learn it is owned and run by a family of vegetarians. What an amazing menu of veg options and the most delicious veg chicken breast we have ever had. With the awesome house made Sweet Louisianna sauce and the most excellent patience and hospitality of the staff, we must come here often.

A local favourite - Edit
Brewery Bay is probably the most popular local restaurant in Orillia and it boasts many vegetarian options.
Read moreI haven't been back since going vegan, but from what I know of Brewery Bay they would gladly accommodate and I hope to confirm that for myself soon!
The food has always been very delicious and the staff are very friendly. The one complaint about this place is that it can get noisy if it's even moderately busy.
Pros: Delicious food, Reasonable price, Friendly staff
Cons: Noisy when moderately busy

Finally a Vegetarian Friendly Pub - Edit
Really enjoyed supper here with my flexitarian husband. It is like a sports bar with a restaurant side. Very veg head friendly as they call it since there are 45 choices for vegetarians! Most meals can be had in either meatatarian or vegetarian version. It is not fancy or gourmet, it is a kid friendly pub.
Read morePros: Friendly staff, , pretty presentation of food, Lots of choices for vegetarians
Cons: Not all vegetarian, Less choices for vegans

Not so bad - Edit
Came here on a Sunday night with my ladyfriend after having spent the weekend portaging.
Read moreIt was quiet with a couple of drunks on the bar side of the restaurant and a couple of tables on the dining side including families with loud kids. A lot of booths were available.
It was darkly lit with hardwood floors, wooden tables and a brick wall. Classic rock played throughout the meal.
We, being vegans, ordered three of the few items that didn't require cheese to make the meal: deep-fried pickles (sans the creamy dressing, with a cajun sauce instead), buffalo-style veggie fingers and a 'gourmet' veggie burger.
The deep-fried pickles were fantastic: juicy, massive and greasy. The veggie fingers were identified as Gardein. They came out cold and way too soft, but were flavourful. The burger tasted like Yves, and came with roasted eggplant and red peppers on a ciabatta bun. Very satisfying.
Pretty pricey. Our meal, with a pitcher of beer, came out to $57 before tip.
The server didn't know what a vegan was, but the chef did, and now she does, too!
