Excellent
Crafty Ramen
9.1Plant-based diners have more than a token side dish here. Vegan Mapo Tofu Ramen, tofu paths, and the restaurant's stated vegan and vegetarian coverage make the menu easier to navigate.
Retour Bistro
9.0Retour gives plant-based diners a full Lebanese lane: vegan kafta, vegan shawarma, vegan halloumi, vegan kebbeh, rice plates, burgers, and shared meals.
The Cornerstone
8.6The Cornerstone is built around vegetarian and vegan choice, from Tempeh Reuben Sandwich and Cornerstone Club to tofu breakfast plates, vegan nachos, plant-based wraps, Pad Thai, and enchiladas.
Warka Tree Ethiopian Restaurant
8.6The vegetarian side is broad enough to carry the meal: lentils, chickpeas, cabbage, collard greens, peas, vegetables, hilbet, and injera all show up as real centrepieces.
Lemongrass Thai Cuisine
8.2Plant-based diners get a full path here, not a few adapted notes. A separate vegan menu, regional curries, wok dishes, noodles, tofu options, and catering accommodations make the kitchen unusually easy to navigate.
MAKIN Thai Food
9.9Plant-based diners get serious menu citizenship here. Vegan options run across appetizers, soups, curries, fried rice, noodles, stir-fries, and dessert, so the order can still feel like MAKIN rather than a compromise.
Pokehana
9.2Tofu & Shiitake, Build Your Own Bowl, vegan sides, and vegan sauces make the plant-based path feel complete. This is not a one-option compromise.
Spice Roots
8.2Vegetarian diners have a real path here: Paneer Lababdar, Chana Masala, Palak Paneer, Bhindi Masala, Baingan Bharta, Vegetarian Pakora, Amritsari Kulcha, and Veggie Manchurian make a full meatless order easy to build.
Lucky Belly
9.2Vegetarian and vegan diners have several credible paths here, including V-Power, Cancun, Beet Box, Falafel, Black Bean & Quinoa, Hummus Dip with Pita, Lucky Rice, and Guacamole Dip.
Kirtida Kitchen

Diwa Classic Indian Cuisine
8.9Plant-based diners have real choice here. Chana Masala, Bindhi Do Pyaza, Baigan Patiala, Palak Chana, Dal Tarka, Mix Vegetable, and Malai Kofta give the meatless side depth.
Good Options
Red Papaya Thai & Grill
8.7Plant-based diners get broad access here. Vegan-friendly curries, stir-fries, vegetables, mango salad, and tofu-forward Pad Thai make the menu easier for mixed diets than many value-oriented Thai-Vietnamese rooms.
Na-Ha-Thai's Kitchen
9.9Plant-based diners have a clear path because vegan and gluten-free options are part of the menu's normal rhythm. Vegan Pad Thai, curries, tofu choices, and careful substitutions make the kitchen approachable for mixed diets.
The Nguyen's Vietnamese Family Restaurant

The Saffron Indian Restaurant
9.6Vegetarian and vegan-leaning diners get depth here: Karahi Paneer, Paneer Makhni, Malai Kofta, Channa Masala, Aloo Gobi, and Vegetarian Thali.
Bombay Kitchen

Borealis Grille & Bar
8.9Plant-based diners get more than a token modification. Three Sisters Bowl, veggie handhelds, mushroom rigatoni, brunch options, and clearly marked dietary paths give mixed groups a credible way through a comfort-grill menu.
Hakka Guelph

Shine Family Restaurant
8.7Tofu Breakfast Scramble, Tofu Wrap, Veggies Wrap, salads, pancakes, and explicit vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free notes give non-meat diners usable choices.
Diana Downtown
7.9Vegetarian Curries, Aloo Gobi, Vegetarian Butter Chicken, and vegan thali context make meat-free ordering feel central rather than improvised.
The Kolkata Club Indian Cuisine
9.4Plant-based and vegetarian diners have more than one safe lane. Mock Butter Chicken, Paneer 65 Biryani, dal, breads, and vegetable dishes give the menu enough range for mixed groups.
