Great food, cute area

Found on Happy Cow while driving through Ontario - definitely worth a detour off the highway! I had the Santa Fe burger and mac n cheese, it was all great!

Delicious, Friendly Staff

One of my favorite places to eat. The prices are reasonable, the staff very friendly and the food is outstanding. I travel from KW just to eat here. I ways find a gem on the menu. Best Cobb salad ever. Chef Elyse (hope I got the name right) has come up with a great menu and looks to bring new ideas to vegan fare. You can tell this is her passion.

Their fubano sandwich is not to be missed

My title says it all, really. I absolutely love their fubano. My wife opted for the buffalo wrap, and while good it was certainly no fubano.

I see other reviewers complain about price, and while this place isn't cheap, the food they serve is worth the price and portion sizes are normal. I like that the sandwiches come with a side, makes it a bit of a more complete meal.

SO good

I have been going to this restaurant for years and I am always impressed by the service, the atmosphere, and of course the food. All of the non-vegans and meat eaters that I have taken to this restaurant have been impressed and requested to come back. I could not recommend a restaurant enough.

Pros: Food variety, Local ingredients , Atmosphere

great atmosphere

The food is an amazing dining experience but I find the portions way to small, for the price you pay. Plant matter is great though if you are looking for a new experience but it’s not a place I go to regularly, as I can’t afford it.

Pros: veganized food, relaxing environment , friendly staff

Cons: overpriced , sometimes hard to get a seat

Hi LittleVegan95! We're happy you enjoyed our food! Regarding our prices, we offer locally-sourced, organic, and freshly-made meals. It can be pricey, but we stand by the quality of our food and offer up that our prices are very competitive, given how and where we source our ingredients! ??

Cute Cafe

This place had lots of options and very tasty food. I especially liked the Power smoothie. It’s just unfortunate how expensive it is- so it’s more a treat yourself instead of “go all the time” type place.

Pros: All vegan options

Cons: Expensive

Excellent Brunch

We were happy we skipped the breakfast at our hotel and tried the Brunch at Plant Matter Kitchen. The restaurant is located in a pretty part of town and it was fun to walk around and look at the million-dollar houses nearby after we ate.

We shared the Wortley Breakfast ($15) which included tofu scramble, tomato, tempeh strips, avocado, toast and potato wedges. It was delicious though a bit dry. I would have added some veggies to the scramble or maybe some salsa on the side.
My daughter loved the Huevos Rancheros ($14) which included tofu scramble, beans, and tortilla strips.
My son gave an A+ to his Pain Perdu which was a decadent version of French Toast.

The restaurant was clean and modern and the service was wonderful.

Pros: great service

I want to love this place but I find its hit or miss with the food. I’ve had great food and other times it lacks flavour or substance. However the service has always been great and waits have never been very long.

Take out pizza

I popped in and grabbed a pizza, it was their mushroom. The caramelized onions were deadly as well as the cream sauce. I would highly recommend this place and I would go back in a heartbeat.

Stopped here while driving through the city and we were not disappointed. The kind staff made wonderful recommendations - it was so hard to decide because everything looked so good! They have a decent beer and wine selection, as well.

Excellent Plant Based Restaurant

We were visiting in London and googled Plant Based Restaurant. This is a great find!. Wide selection of food and they modified our order based on our dietary restriction.

Good food but plastic use can be improved!

Generally, food is good, local and trying the meals of my friend I have no doubt that many of them are delicious.

However I was left a bit disappointed with the PMK bowl which I think could be improved: I didn't really appreciate the cold noodles and the acidity of the marinated cabbage and pickles (too acidic for me I didn't expect it). Marinated tofu was fine but not special, a bit dry. Sweet potato and beans was a good mix.

I ordered an energy juice which was very good but I was quite disappointed to see it coming in a plastic container (supposed to be biodegradable but everything is no?) and especially a plastic straw (for those who don't know this is killing marine life especially - so not really vegan?!)

I know i'm a bit critical here but considering the other mostly very positive reviews I hope this one can help the owners to make improvements for those vegans who care about zero waste. I'm open to put a better review and delete this one when there'll be no more plastic at PMK :)

Thanks for taking this into consideration.

Pros: Usually great food, Local products, Nice atmosphere

Cons: A bit pricey, Still uses plastic straws

Great place great food!

What a wonderful restaurant a nice meal! Met the owner a few times at the restaurant, and he is such an amazing a dedicated person! Some restaurants barely have owners that even visit their establishment, but that is not the case here. And it shows!

Ethical business, food tastes great, staff is caring and attentive. Been there a lot and will be back!

Pros: Ethical, owner that really cares, great selection of food options

Cons: can be busy some times (is that really bad though?

Extensive menu covering both snacks to lunch to a main meal. Local produce. Licensed. Excellant service and very reasonably priced. Definetely worth a visit.

Pros: Out door seating area, Food was excellant. Local and thus fresh., Ace service from extremely helpful staff.

PMK is fantastic! The food is always good, the venue is nice and the staff is friendly. My non vegan friends really enjoy it too. I love the weekend brunch and donuts. I went to one of their beer and vegen cheese tasting events which was great.

Pros: Delicious food, Brunch, Variety

rocked my world

It's so refreshing to go to a restaurant like this where I know everything is vegan and the menu items are so good that it's hard to pick just one. It's pricey but then again it is a gourmet restaurant with organic and locally sourced food. I recommend it to all my friends and family

Truly the best!

Traveling again with work, this time in London. Checked my Happy Cow. Cow says try Plant Matter, looks great. Cow was right. I LOVED this place. If you get the lady server with the cute nose ring and the sweet personality, that's Kelsey and she is marvellous. Kelsey introduced me to Booch and it was delicious. Will have to pick some up before heading home (it's made locally). So it was hard to choose what to have, everything looks great on the menu. They got great ratings on their burg and I love burgers. But in the end I had to have the baked Mac n cheese. My picture doesn't do it justice. It was today's special that came with roasted green beans and red pepper and some fresh sprouts. Really really good. Had to thank the chefs for making me such a good dinner. These people got it together in all the best ways. I can see why they're winning awards.

Pros: wide menu variety , lovely sit in restaurant, good service

Cons: none that I could see

Excellent

This place is great. Prices are higher, but I am happy to pay them every once and a while as there isn't a ton of fully Vegan places in London. The staff here is lovely. I've been multiple times and on one occasion we had to wait a bit due their business and they approached us with apologies and offered a free dessert. I absolutely love all the breakfast and brunch options, every single thing was delicious. As for regular meals, we haven't found one yet that we didn't thoroughly enjoy. If it was just a little bit cheaper I would go on a more regular basis.

Pros: All Vegan, great service

Cons: Expensive

Thanks for the feedback and we are glad you enjoyed the food- did you know that we only use organic ingredients including spices and oils and even reverse osmosis water to make all of our food? We also make everything from scratch every day using locally sourced items wherever we can. We work very hard to make our food from the finest ingredients and sources while pricing it competitively with most restaurants. We have very high standards for what we will serve and these do make the food cost a little more - but we know it's worth it.
