Satisfying! - Edit
This was delicious, and a wonderful representation of raw vegan done well! There is no lack of options that are fun, satiating, and healthy at this gem of a place. My pea soup was a bomb of flavour, so well balanced with some heat and plenty of acid, as well as delicious croutons. The zoodle alfredo was also lovely with a delicious tampenad. Honestly so impressive, if i lived closer Itd be a regular spot! Gotta come back to try more
Read moreAlso, I must say, the service was fantastic and the waiter offered to give us smaller versions of the dishes so we could try more which was so appreciated as an indecisive vegan lol!

This place is awesome, all raw all the time - Edit
So many creative variations of vegan food without cooking keeping all the nutrients intact, I keep ordering giant bowls of zucchini pasta variations, so much crunch and flavor and still feels like a light meal.

Definitely my fav restaurant - Edit
Cosy little restaurant. Started coming here nearly 10 years ago. No need to compromise on anything here; Great menu, delicious, flavorful and healthy food and worth the price. I'm not a big fan of raw desserts but the almond butter cups and chocolate truffles are my fav. And all of the entree options are worth trying. If you plan on dining in the restaurant I always recommend reserving in advance; it's a very small restaurant with limited seating
Read morePros: 100% raw vegan

What a hidden Gem - Edit
Made reservations for a birthday night out. I’m the only vegan and none of us are on a regular raw diet, but my turn to choose and the reviews brought us to #rawaura.
Read moreEveryone loved their meal. From the presentation to the last bite it was more than we expected. We made plans to return again...
Pros: Food is obviously made with care , Delicious and flavourful , Proper serving sizes

SO DAMN GOOD - Edit
If I lived in Toronto this restaurant would make me fully raw vegan and I’d go here for all of my savory (and sweet) raw vegan cravings!! Waitress was so nice, food was incredible and generous, and so many unique unforgettable options. I hate red pepper but took her word on the red pepper ravioli and it was incredible!! Can’t say enough good things. I’m so glad I went here. The presentation was also beautiful.

The management know what they’re doing. - Edit
Great portions I’ll be it, it is a higher priced place to eat but that was made up by the massive portions which we loved. I had the big salad and it was wonderful. I couldn’t have asked for a better salad. I like this restaurant because of the high amount of choices you get to pick from and they don’t shy with portions like some other restaurants I know... oh yeah the restaurant has a really good atmosphere to it as well makes you feel relaxed and good.

Horrible Attitude - Edit
I got greeted the exact same way as the other poster... umm did you reserve? The whole place is empty... this woman looks mad that I came here to offer my business. Very unattractive, arrogant and disturbed person. Will not come back ever again.

welcomed like ... - Edit
I think it is my 1st review where I'm not happy about a "vegan" place... and in fact, it is more an advice than a critic about the food itself because we could not eat there, even though it looked delicious... We have been willing to eat there, the lady that welcomed us was almost arrogant with the "did you reserve ? Sorry you don't have reservation and have a child and we don't have high chair..." blabla.
Read moreAnyway my advice is :
When you have a restaurant and you see a couple and child coming to have dinner and half of your tables are reserved but empty, here are your options :
- "sorry there is no spot right now, but you are welcomed to have a drink at the bar and we will give you the next available table for 4... "
- because there was a table free outside where we could easily fit, even with a child. The right attitude would have been to say "hey, we don't have high chair but a normal chair and a pillow should do the job ! :-)" (when you have a restaurant and empty tables, you really need to be out of your mind to refuse rudely customers)
- "we can propose you to order to take away if you mind waiting for the next table !!"
- "here is our biz card, it gets pretty packed after 7 so please give us a call little earlier so that we can keep a spot for you..." if still, you don't want to wait 10min for a table...
So. Dear owner or manager, potential friend. The moral is :
Stay humble (or choose your staff for this quality also ), even when your restaurant is packed because you have targeted people that prefer organic healthy non animal food ... because humility is the key to happiness, not money... the customer is your family!

Amazing food, but very very expensive! - Edit
This restaurant has very good food. I went there once when Doug McNish was head chef. Most food is very high in fat and very high priced. Hours are crazy. Also very small portions. They need to give larger portions and lower their prices.
