Toronto restaurant update
Saturday, 24 March 2007

[ vegan pizza slice ][rest.] Magic Oven – new location in the Annex
270 Dupont St. (at Spadina), 416-928-1555
www.magicoven.com
   New full service, licensed restaurant with seating for 65. They offer the same menu as their take-out locations, and discount cardholders are eligible to receive a 10% discount. Twelve vegetarian and five vegan pizzas to choose from, or order a custom one. They also sell pizza by the slice ($4) for take-out or eat-in.  Exceptional pizza menu with innovative healthy pastas and salads. Focus on quality ingredients with offerings to please vegan, lactose intolerant, vegetarian, gluten-free and wheat-free diets. Open Mon-Sat 11am-11pm, Sun noon-10pm.

v LIVE - Organic Food Bar – open later
264 Dupont St. (at Spadina), 416-515-2002
LIVE is now open till 11pm most nights. Weekend brunch from 10am-3pm. Closed on Monday. Chic back yard patio opens as soon as the weather gets warmer. They have increased the number of raw snacks and desserts that are available for purchase, since their take-out location, Organiclicious, closed.

[veg rest.]v M & B Yummy Classic Ethiopian food!  – vegan once again
1263 Queen St W. (at Brock) in Parkdale, 416-516-2798
They serve traditional Ethiopian cuisine made fresh to order. Recently the owner has gone back and forth between serving meat or not. But now all her menu items are entirely vegan thanks to help and encouragement from a supporter named Antoine. Antoine approaches local restaurants and encourages them to add vegan options to their menus. M&B Yummy does serve cow's milk as an option for coffee, and some non-vegan baked goods that are made elsewhere. But there are vegan desserts from Sweets From The Earth and vegan Nanaimo bars from a local pastry chef. 

[rest.] Kalyvia – vegetarian options may contain chicken broth.
We received an email from Lee: “I was just at Kalyvia, a Greek restaurant at Danforth and Chester [416-463-3333, www.kalyvia.com]. They offer several "vegetarian meals", but upon inquiring I found out that both the potatoes and rice are made in chicken broth.” We sent them an email but have not heard back yet. Last summer we had success getting Spring Rolls to add a proper vegan menu free of fish sauce. Speaking up can work.

Note: Annapurna Vegetarian Restaurant will be closed from April 7 - April 17, 2007 inclusive.  Bo De Duyen has been closed for vacation for most of March, but they are reopening after Mar 27 according to a sign on the door.
