FRESH: Gourmet Vegetarian in Toronto

Michelle and I spent all day walking around West Toronto neighborhoods - through High Park, Roncesvalles, Parkdale, Queen West Village, and the Annex on Bloor Street. After roaming nearly 12km(!) we were slightly more than hungry. So we found one of the best spots for a filling, healthy, and delicious lunch.

Fresh is a vegetarian's dream (with gluten-free & vegan options as well). Their menu is extensive and offers everything from smoothies and specialty drinks to salads, soups, burritos, and gourmet veggie burgers. Here's what their own website has to say:

"Fresh is located in the heart of Toronto, a cosmopolitan food lover’s city. Providing our customers with fresh food, flavours and recipes is at the heart of what we do. Our passion for researching current food trends and updating our menus with unique ingredients has kept us at the forefront of the healthy food movement since we started out in 1992. Responsible and sustainable business practices have been the underlying principle of our success." 

Along with the best sweet potato fries I've ever had, Michelle and I split two little treats, the mushroom&onion veggie burger and the black bean burrito. How do you spell yummy? F-r-e-s-h.
