Great food, very nice people. - Edit
We’ve been regulars there for more than a year.
Read moreFood is creative and tasty. I agree with a previous review that the Benibeni is a bit bland (to my taste). Try the avocado toast. It’s sprinkled with pomegranate, pickled onion, and spices, e real mouth pleaser! The variety of the menu is very good with plenty of options with sweetness or not as you wish.
Portions are a little large for me but the kitchen is very responsive to requests.
Pros: Nice flavorful blending of tastes., Wonderful staff. Ask them for suggestions if you , Comfortable, welcoming, reasonable prices.
Cons: Service sometimes seems slow, but have patience.

Not as great as I’d hoped - Edit
The decor of the restaurant was cute and the service was good. The food and smoothie I ordered was unfortunately disappointing. It wasn’t bad, but somewhat bland. I ordered the Benny Benny and Green Smoothie. I was expecting a larger helping of potatoes that came listed on the menu with the dish, but only got a couple small pieces and a very large salad instead. The portion of salad to potatoes I was hoping would’ve been more equal. The dish was scoops of vegan ricotta on English muffin with vegan hollandaise over it. While it looked nice, the dish lacked texture.
Read morePros: Nice location, Good service, Cute decor
Cons: Bland, Uneven proportions

Give it another try! Ask the staff for suggestions to suit your tastes. I’d be surprised if they don’t up your potatoes on request

phenomenal - Edit
this place was incredibly beautiful- live music was playing right outside (i think they play on the weekends at this place but double check), we watched the sun set from the outdoor patio seating and had some incredible food. our server was so great and fun to talk to. The food tastes amazing and the vibes of this place were so perfect words can’t even describe

Even the non-vegans were happy - Edit
Brunch options galore! Visited with my husband and his coworkers and all of the food was delicious. We all shared in a community style, ordering a bunch of dishes and having small portions of each (definitely recommend). My favorite was probably the nachos.

Best vegan lasagna - Edit
Hello 123 has been my go-to restaurant in the area for tasty vegan food for years! My favorite dish is the lasagna, which is so filling and hearty, and served with a generous portion of Caesar salad and garlic bread. The pulled pork burger is also excellent. They have a good selection of wines and cocktails. The vibe is friendly and relaxed yet chic - a great place to gather with family, friends, and colleagues. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough!

Wow! This place is awesome! - Edit
We came hungry and left very satisfied! I got the Lasagna and my partner got the Hello Burger. Both came with very fresh salads. We demolished every bite. The total was $44 which seemed reasonable for the amount of food and quality. The was plenty of side street parking, too.

Brunch spot! - Edit
I had Irene's massive breakfast: the perfect mix of sweet savory! The place is a bit pricy so I wouldn't come here regularly, but it's great for special occasions.

Yummy bowls, generous portions! - Edit
Great range of bowls at Hello 123! In all honesty, I will only order from the restaurant on the odd occasion or if I have a giftcard as I’m not sure the steep prices are justifiable. That being said, the food is great and the portions are quite generous!

Delicious food and great portions! - Edit
I loved my experience here. I ordered a vegan lasagna, and I did not expect to receive a dish full of food. The lasagna came with a great portion of a very tasty salad and slices of bread with garlic flavor. The lasagna on itself was of good size, and it tasted delicious. I loved the food, I was actually full when I finished, what a delicious surprise. :D

Sweet service - Edit
My husband and I did not know what to expect of this restaurant but we were blown away by the authentic friendliness and attentiveness of the servers.
Read moreI had a green juice, a tea tonic and a turmeric latte. All the drinks tasted great. My husband had a couple of beers which he polished off pretty quickly too!
For food, we shared some Pecora‘s which had a great spiciness to them and pastry was crispy. Then we both had lasagna and were very surprised by how abundant the Caesar salad was. We especially liked the garnish of seeds on top.
For dessert, we shared an incredible chocolate avocado mousse which had a tinge of orange added. It was so delicious that I could’ve ordered another one. I make chocolate avocado mousse at home but this was far better than anything I’ve made before!
I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
Pros: THE BEST service , Great drinks selection , Good sized portions

Amazing resto/bar. Perfect for brunch as well as lunch/dinner. Been there multiple times and no matter what I order, it’s always fabulous. Personal favourites are the pulled “pork” sandwich, mac n cheez and the breakfast sandwich.

Not what I expected - Edit
This is waa my first time there, I ordered a Sandwich Breakfast Messy Fries & a Tropical Sun smoothie.
Read moreThis smoothie was bland, for something that contains mango and pinnaples, all I could taste was oat milk and nuts. No sweetness as at all. (8.50CAD)
The main course was healthy and made of of quality ingredients. (17CAD)
However the Messy Fries (3.50$), which I was told by Lucas was extra potato wedges on the side on top of the already included wedges from the Breakfast Sandwich, only had extra avocado and seasoning. This was an "upgrade" not an extra. However, if your main course doesn't include potatoes, the messy fries adds them. *falm palm*
I could added extra avocado for 2$ but paid 3.50$.
In total I paid over 30$ for a meal that was somewhat filling.
Gave them a call, everything was normal including the bland smoothie.
Will I come return? Maybe if I'm in a pinch.
Pros: Vegan, Healthy
Cons: Unfair pricing, Average taste
