Toronto is the largest city in Canada and is basically like the New York City of Canada. There are over 20 vegetairan restaurants in the city of Toronto and its nearby suburbs. There are also many health food stores in the Toronto area.

Many of the main grocery food chains such as Dominion and Loblaws have good vegetarian and health food section in them. Also there are no shortage of Ethic places here that serve good selections of vegetarian dishes in Indian, Middles Eastern, Ethiopian and Chinese places.

There are some excellent vegetarian restaurants here including Fressen which is an upscale gourmet vegan restaurant that my friend who has been to hundred of vegetarian restaurants in Canada and the US give one of his highest rating as highly recommended.
