    This place is incredible! One of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had. It was busy but we felt like we had privacy. The menu clearly labeled gluten free options which I always appreciate (I trust those places a lot more). So the food was amazing! I had the roasted eggplant and it was just... Wow! My friend and I shared a starter (nachos) and also had dessert. Everything was just so amazing. The waitress was so lovely and helpful as well. All in all, 11/10 would recommend

    The dessert wasn’t just good for a vegan dessert. It was by far the best dessert we’ve tasted. The only downside is there wasn’t more of it. We tried the Chocolate and Cashew Cazuela and it tasted like a deconstructed Lindt d’Or with citrus and orange aromas which elevated the dish. The chocolate mousse was well balanced out by the vegan butter biscuit in the middle which gave it that needed crunchiness. We’d go back just to order dessert! We didn’t think anything could top off the appetizer (snack) called Black Beans Fritters, but the dessert was simply out of this world. The bowls we ordered were colourful and vibrant as well as fresh and tasty. The service was fast and the staff friendly. The decor was earthy yet modern and the addition of live plants is very on brand. Next time we’d skip on the Jarritos (tasteless carbonated drink), but other than that it was perfection.

    This restaurant has the best food that I’ve tried in Toronto! Everything was so amazing, the interior and aesthetics of this restaurant are stunning. My sisters and I went there for a birthday brunch and we were so pleased with the quality of food. You could really tell each dish on the menu was well thought out and we throughly enjoyed everything we ordered. No food was left behind. On top of that, the service was great. Overall, 100/10!

    One of the best vegan restaurants in Ontario. Very flavorful, fresh, juicy, and delightful vegan dishes with an inspiration from Mexico. They don't need to replicate the meaty feeling but using creativity and skills to make the food fulfilling and enjoyable. The tequila sangria isn't very tasty with an artificial orange flavor but the food and dessert has made up for it. Beautiful and relaxing ambiance with natural light and green.

    Edit: I emailed the info@rosalinda listed by the restaurant below to discuss and have yet to hear back. It has been over 2 months. First time trying Rosalindas, went for their valentines day pre fixe menu. As lifelong vegetarians who are picky about the restaurants we go to, we found the menu to be well designed and all the ingredients used were delicious - simple but delicious meals - we will definitely be back here due to the wide variety of options. Notable highlights were the chipotle aioli, coconut tacos, the mole sauce for the carrots and both desserts were truly divine. Do keep in mind the portions are relatively smaller than american style restaurants, but that's on par with what you'd find going to European countries so be prepared to order a couple items. We got the churros for takeout, they are definitely best eaten warm and right away! Servers were attentive and very professional, truly great service as well. One star was only removed because I found that people were packed less than 1m apart on 6 two-person tables at the back of the restaurant, while there was ample space elsewhere in the restaurant to space people out. As such, there was zero privacy when you are self conscious to bump the elbow of the person beside you, when there are 5 four- person tables/booths that were empty in front of us for the duration that we were there for our meal. We were told its the busiest night that they've had in a while (which is great!) but crowding only some people together while there was space in the restaurant was suboptimal for valentines. Would suggest coming back on a slightly quieter day.

    I am personally not vegan but went with a close friend who is and truly enjoyed the food! The black bean fritters were my favourite dish - the perfect combination of spicy and savoury - would definitely come back - I also found the price point was very reasonable! The ambiance and vibe of the restaurant is very beautiful too !

    Beautiful restaurant with kind staff and delicious food. I don't usually eat vegan food but I was with a friend who has a restricted diet. My favourite dish of the evening was the eggplant; truly seasoned well and perfectly cooked! I didn't really enjoy the churros; I would suggest you pass for better options in the city.

    I didn’t particularly enjoy the winterlicious menu. I am sure the chefs are great and the food is amazing to begin with. But whatever I ordered was average. Not sure if i will be back to try more however, maybe their regular menu is more flavorful for me it was kind of bland to begin with.

  • 5/5 Imad J. 4 years ago on Google
    For the record, I am not even Vegetarian so Vegan is even further off. Having said that, a friend of mine invited me to Rosalinda and all I can tell you is that I was simply amazed. Great food, wonderful atmosphere, very kind and caring staff and did i say great food? Well beyond great. LOVED this Vegan restaurant in our lovely proud downtown area!

    Very nice relaxing ambiance. Sort of Mexican touch. Unlike other downtown restaurant this one was lit up. Lots of natural light. Perfectly fits the theme of the restaurant. Food was all vegan but very delicious. Everything we tried was fresh and tasty. Servers and reception was welcoming and courteous. And last sitting arrangements we not tight. Had enough space to stretch ;). I will definitely give it a try again.

    My friend and I went here for lunch and were impressed by every aspect of this place. The atmosphere and decor makes it feel like you're eating in a garden. The service is attentive, fast and friendly. The food itself is delicious and is presented beautifully. The dishes can all be shared. I will definitely be going back.

    Loved the plants and atmosphere here! Drinks were very pricy. Would recommend the nachos. Sadly my friend had 3 glasses of water accidentally spilled on her by our server. Of course accidents happen but we thought she may have gotten a drink or appetizer on the house as a result- but no, she was just soaking wet for the rest of the night. Apart from that incident, the night was lovely.

    I hate Eggplant, but I loved THAT Eggplant! The food is really delicious and it's all plant based <3 The interior is so comfy and chick at the same time. The staff was very accommodating - but that's Canadian for me <3 I would feel comfy there in my nicest evening outfit and my sweatpants. I highly recommend the churros - soooo good!

    Super creative vegan food! Super delicious! Returning here for the second time to celebrate a friend's birthday and we all enjoyed our feast. Our lovely sever Mark took a very good care of us and kept us "hydrated". Very happy and very pleased that we chose to dine here. The best treat for someone with a vegan diet. They had a lovely menu for mother's day. Nicely decorated, with greenery, bright colours and tall ceiling. Very welcoming with friendly staff. Highly recommended to dine here.

    I visited Rosalinda’s for lunch, with two girlfriends, and we shared the nachos, tacos and chimichurri bowl. We wanted to start off the year trying something new and we’re very pleased with the plant based dishes we tried. The portions were a great size and we left feeling satisfied.

    I'm not a vegan, but enjoy a vegan meal occasionally, and Rosalinda which is located in Toronto's Financial District, serves flavourful, and beautifully plated, plant-based Mexican food. Reservations can be made online via Open Table. The restaurant is pretty casual, with a greenhouse feel to the interior decor. The staff here were all friendly, and the service was overall good. The food here was good, and they don't have a lot of dishes made with beans compared to a lot of Mexican places I've been to. I highly recommend the Flautas and the cheesecake. The Beetroot salad was also good, but I wasn't expecting a few pieces of beets on a plate to be considered a salad... Fortunately I ordered a side of crispy tofu to go with it, which was quite delicious itself, and made the dish more filling for me. Ordered: - Flautas - Charcoaled Beetroot salad with side of crispy tofu - Pay de Queso Vasco (cheesecake) - Señorita Lavanda Cocktail

    If you like veg or want to try veg, this mexican restaurant is a great option for a night out. Very cozy with an excellent service, and the food felt very authentic even though it was plant based. 👌 The winter cake was the only thing that wasn't amazing. Please try the cauliflower taco or empanada appetizers!

  • 4/5 Carolyne C. 2 months ago on Google • 81 reviews New
    Amazing, fun, and interesting vegan food with lots of gluten-free options. Restaurant had some peeling paint/wallpaper and large cracks in upholstery - hard to tell if that was part of the charm or just wear and tear on the place. Overall, I highly recommend

  • 5/5 Aarti S. 5 months ago on Google • 27 reviews
    This is a gorgeous place. I loved the ambiance, food, service, and everything about it. Tucked in a busy place, this is your place to go for vegetarian or vegan food. I had a tofu bowl, and my friend had tacos. Amazing presentation and the food matched to it. Perhaps serving size could be more. I will definitely go again.

    Spotted a celebrity here! I've been to this restaurant 3 times and during the first time, we sat right next to Michael Bonacini, a celebrity chef judge on MasterChef Canada and owner of the Oliver & Bonacini company. He was dining at Rosalinda with his wife and family. You know the restaurant must be good if someone like Michael Bonacini brings his whole family for dinner!

  • 5/5 Michelle C. 3 years ago on Google
    I can't believe I didn't leave a review before! Our food at Rosalinda was mind-blowing. Their cocktails were equally creative and delicious. I'm sad to see they still haven't reopened, and hope to celebrate more special occasions here because it's one of my favorite places on earth.

    Despite having a limited appreciation for vegan meals I find this place very good. The prices were acceptable considering the location and the very good service. I recommend the coconut ceviche and the tacos. They are both worthy even if you are a meat lover as me.

    Is the place opened? I loved the food here and I need to come back. I have to say that, it is the only vegan place that has a lot of a variety. I was really tired of chickpeas and lentils. Other places have just a simple menu and zero creativity.

    I had high expectations coming here. we came here with my friend for his birthday and for religious reasons he has dietary restrictions: no onion garlic and vegetarian. We had called ahead to make sure that his restrictions would be accommodated. However when we got there we were told that there was only one dish that he could have. The manager even came to talk to us and said there wasn't much else she could do. We would have chosen a different place if we had known since it's his birthday. We ended up staying and even then the food was mediocre at best. Sorry but this place is largely overrated.

    Really wanted to like the experience but honestly I was immediately put off learning that all the plants are plastic. The food was alright, got the nachos and the quinoa bowl. Nachos were a bit lacklustre IMO and both dishes felt way overpriced for the portion size. Those were both the smallest and most expensive vegan nachos I’ve ever grabbed. I’m a recent vegan and it’s great to see more fully vegan restaurants but compared to some others I’ve been too recently (parka, planted in Hamilton, hello 123) I think Rosalinda could do better.

    A mix of simple and more creative vegan Mexican dishes. Beautiful interior. The nachos were great, and were just like nachos with meat toppings. The banana leaf barbacoa was really unique! It was wrapped in banana leaf and was quite sweet, tangy, and had some astringency, which made it a bit overwhelming. It was missing something to make it more balanced…

    My new favorite restaurant ever! 😍 Beautiful trendy but authentic decor, fun chill ambience, great service! Great menu items, all vegan 😍 the food tasted amazing, the flavors were well balanced and stayed true to mexican cuisine with a modern touch. Wish I could have tried the whole menu but it just gives me more opportunities to go back and try it all 🥰 it's a MUST try 💯

  • 2/5 toronto f. 1 year ago on Google
    Friend and I went out to celebrate both our birthdays and found it disappointing. Food - Rosa burger was filling but dry and needs more sauce. Salad with dressing tasted too bitter and did not compliment. Drink - Love Street - no vegan “foam” and there was a bug in my drink. Got it remade and still not good. No foam, so not sure if they made an error with description. Service - staff taking our orders was nice but the person I spoke with about my drink wearing black apron did not even say sorry, just a well just get you a new one in very blasé tone. Hopefully they improve menu as price point does not really connect for me. I do not recommend for special occasions, just maybe grabbing a drink here for pics as interior is nice before having dinner elsewhere.

    Wow, wow, wow. Not only was our waitress very kind and accommodating to allergies. But the food is absolutely delicious. I would really recommend the Yuca fries as an app! We ordered the: Cauliflower tacos, chorizo verde tacos, banana leaves, yuca fries and black bean fritters 🫘!

    Ambiance was nice. But service was poor. It just took to even get recognized, lack of any greeting or to even just getting water. Yuca fries are great. Tacos were tasty. The bowls were okay. Feel like Mexican is naturally fresh and light. But the meals were oily Feel like there are many other better vegan restaurants to go to in the city

    Absolutely a wonderful dining experience! The Flautas are out of this world and the flavors work beautifully together. My tofu bowl is so pretty and every bite was absolute heaven do delicious. Matthew and Elizabeth were really a pleasure to meet and are very knowledgeable about the menu. Will come back to try desert soon. One of my new favs in TO.

    Unfortunately, this restaurant did not live up to my expectations. The service was very slow. I wanted to try the churros for dessert (vegan churros!) but by the time we were ready for dessert, service had been so slow we had to leave! The food was fine, but not delicious. The drinks were excellent. Based on my first visit, I'm quite reluctant to say I'd visit again.

    awesome spot with great presentation and ambience. one of my favourite vegan restaurants in downtown. great selection of Mexican dishes, I also really appreciated the mocktails menu! the girl taking care of us at brunch was lovely and attentive. the eggplant was delish — lots of flavours and so filling, same with churros & the lemon drop martini. my friend had the noodles and tequila sangria which she also liked! coming back for the tacos next time 😋🌮

    I have to admit, I liked the appearance of the dishes more than the dishes themselves :) The eggplant looked fantastic, and it was good, but not up to the expectation you have when you see it... The nachos and yam fries were not that special for me, still good.

    📣📣Summerlicious sitch incoming 📣📣 I just had the most elegant, delicious, protein packed lunch at @rosalindarestaurant and I’m already plotting my next visit there. ⚡️❤️‍🔥 The jicama salad was unique, crunchy, and elevated. Then the machu tofu bowl came through with seasoning, crunch, and oh so much saucy richness 💋👩🏾‍🍳. The blueberry cheesecake at the end was light and milder in flavour than is my preference, but overall this meal was memorable and a must try!! The best part? —when the bill came I was amazed that the whole experience was only $30! #winning ✨✨✨ Honorable mention for the best part goes to our amazing, warm server Miracle 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

    The BEST vegan restaurant I've ever been to, and I've been to quite a few. Whatever you eat, you'll love. The food is simply AMAZING! The people who work there are as equally amazing. And what to say about the aesthetics? I mean, simply going to Rosalinda is an experience in itself. I went to this restaurant with two of my colleagues who aren't vegan nor vegetarian. They told me that it was hands down the most delicious restaurant they've eaten during our entire stay in Toronto. Don't hesitate. Go and have a bite! You'll thank me 😊

    Vegan restaurant in downtown Toronto. The menu isn’t that big which makes it easy to pick what you want to order. It is good place for lunch or dinner, and a worthwhile spot for a date, business meeting, or dining out with friends or family. Small Nachos are actually huge as appetisers for 3-4 people. Ordered warm guajillo noodles and loved how flavourful they were. There are charred brussel sprouts in them and the noodle sauce is great. I definitely recommend trying them. Food is very wholesome, filling and staff is friendly. Decor is tasteful, and filled with plants.

    I’ll start by saying I’m not a vegan. I visited with a colleague for lunch. I ordered the Rosa burger and yucca fries. I was astonished at how tasty it was. Like, really impressive. The service was also nice and friendly. If you’re a vegetarian or vegan then definitely visit this restaurant. If you’re a meat eater then you also won’t be disappointed with the food and service.

    My tastebuds are still dancing!!! What a fabulous place. The best vegan food I have ever had. Started with Rosa’s Tacos. Highly recommend giving these a try. My entree was CALABAZA Y HONGOS. This was delicious. The roasted squash was so amazing. I would definitely order this again The churros were a perfect way to end the night. Wonderful service as well. My husband and I were treated to a glass of champagne on the house to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you to our server Al. I will definitely be going back to Rosalinda’s.

  • 5/5 Dana Y. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was absolutely delicious! The brocolini, eggplant plate was really good. Prices are not bad , but because portions are not the biggest, price adds up, making it $$. Staffs were super friendly. Would come back again !

  • 4/5 Marlyn P. 5 years ago on Google
    Delicious Mexican vegan food. Beautiful atmosphere with plants everywhere. The only issue is portion size in relation to cost. As long as you are prepared to order many, many dishes and pay. It is worth trying. The bathrooms are nice and wide for accessibility purposes.

  • 5/5 Preeti S. 4 years ago on Google
    It was our anniversary and since we were hosting a vegan guest, we decided to visit Rosalinda for brunch. We went with an open mind and the restaurant did not cease to impress us. Although the brunch had a limited menu, our server was wonderful and patient. All the suggestions he made turned out to be wonderful. This is not one of those places which tries to imitate meat dishes but by overwhelming your taste buds, makes you forget it. The presentation of the food is wonderful, the portion sizes are good and many of them are shareable. They remembered that it was our anniversary through our reservation and we were treated to their delicious Kombucha. The overall experience was phenomenal and we can't wait to visit again and try out the rest of their menu.

  • 1/5 Bri P. 4 years ago on Google
    Pros: food is tasty, decor is nice Cons: way overpriced, food is good but nothing you cant get at another restaurant for half the price, service is terrible, music is loud, portions are so small. Everyone at our table except me complained that their portion size was so small that they wished they could order more (but it's too expensive to order more). We were a table of 4 and our food came out at completely separate times. Our friend was finished his meal before mine and my boyfriends meals even came out. The waitress was nowhere to be found and when she finally brought us our food she told us it was put at the wrong table. No apology, no attempt to make up for the error or long wait. She placed the meals on the table and never returned. The food was cold but she never came back to ask how our meals were. All she did was take our plates silently without any interaction at all. The service was absolutely atrocious. This mixed with the small portions at extremely high prices means we wont be returning.

    I visited here a while back but wish I had a chance to visit again. Definitely loved the atmosphere of the place and the overall ambience that they create with all the natural light and greenery. When it came to the food, my friend and I both found our dishes to be delicious and very flavourful overall. However, we agreed that we also found the prices to be a little steeper than expected but would be a nice treat on a special occasion. Nevertheless, it's a nice restaurant serving up some delicious and unique menu offerings.

  • 3/5 Ger Z. 3 years ago on Google
    The staff is very friendly and helpful, but I found the food to be just okay. We had a couple of things on the menu and the highlight was definitely the churros. Everything else lacked a "kick" and was really difficult to even remember what I ordered/ate because nothing was super memorable. I would probably still come back with my vegetarian friends to support local restaurants.

    If you’ve been debating becoming vegan/vegetarian then this place will definitely push you into becoming one. This restaurant is not only one of the best vegan restaurants but is also one of the best restaurants in Toronto. Ambience and service: The greenery and live plants are so beautiful (beautiful at night and joyful in the sunlight). The servers are all friendly, causal and well informed humans. Must haves: Jackfruit Taco Coconut Ceviche Rosa Burger I am not one to order drinks at restaurants (food over alcohol) but had to try the placebo cocktails - loved the up & up

  • 3/5 Vic 3 years ago on Google
    The portions are super small or not filling at all. The drinks were good but the whole experience was very expensive. The waitress was super pushy and constantly asking us if we wanted more food or wanted the bill and we had barely finished our food and still had half full drinks on the table. The food was good but once again costly. I got a kale salad and it looked big but it wasn’t filling at all and it had very little dressing on it. Wouldn’t order it again. My friends sweet potatoe was a little over cooked as well

    *3 changed to 4 due to service and management* Originally posted 3/5 because while ambiance was amazing, food was good, but not as amazing. After leaving the rating without a description, management reached out to inquire why I left 3/5 in a respectful way.

    Toronto should change its name to Veganville! Fantastic restaurants like Rosalinda abound! The service is is waaaaaaaaay beyond 5 stars! Everyone who works here are professional, friendly, helpful and THEY SMILE when assisting you! The decor is comfortable and welcoming without being overwhelming for a medium sized restaurant. Oh and the food! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I smile everytime I think about how good the food was! They're suggestions to suit our palette was spot on! And as out-of-towners (from Ohio) visiting a large metropolis, and being welcomed as guests and friends, just makes us want to return again and again and again! Our thanks Rosalinda! You helped to make our weekend trip amazing! Bravo, bravo, bravo!

    The staff is very friendly and professional, the atmosphere is hip but not pretentious and the food is flavoursome. I had their crispy tofu bowl and got exactly what I expected. Flavour wise, I really needed to combine all the ingredients together to get a satisfying bite but once I did I was a happy girl. It was a satisfying and filling dish for sure. I tried their cake for dessert and although it was interesting, I’m not sure it’s something I would get again. Overall, a pleasant experience. Prices are a little steep but not overly so. My friend got the burger and was happy with it! I tried some of her fries and can guarantee they are good.

    Dinner: The menu is fairly small. My boyfriend and I each got a taco pair, and then switched one so we each got to try both kinds of tacos. The chorizo taco was underwhelming and the texture was unlike real chorizo imo, more like scrambled eggs. The jackfruit taco was the better of the two, with more depth and complexity of flavour. However, the taco shells themselves seemed to be old, as they were dried out around the edges, and that crunchy/chewy texture definitely distracted from the taco as a whole. The tacos were also very small. Dessert: We ended with the mousse, which was very rich and should be shared, as it would have been a lot for one person. But, the mousse wasn't something I'd get again, as the flavour wasn't impressive. Overall, I'd rather go to a different vegan place.

    Rosalinda is an innovative vegan Mexican restaurant in the heart of the financial district in downtown Toronto. The decor is instagram worthy with green plants and stylized furniture. Staff are helpful in providing recommendations. I had the salsify with persimmon, carrot purée and peanuts. It is also known as the oyster plant ($17). The plate is definitely on the smaller end. The chef made a substitute for the chimichurri as there were ingredients in it that I cannot have. Overall it was still a great dish. I love the balance of sweet and savoury between the creamy texture of the carrot purée and the persimmon slices. The triple chocolate mousse ($8) with coconut-date crumble, toasted buckwheat and dulce de coco was great as well. It was a great vegans dessert. The texture of the crumble played off the mousse very well. Overall, I had a very positive experience at Rosalina. I will definitely be back to sample other dishes!

    I love coming here and sitting at the bar after work on Friday. Staff are super friendly and professional. I recommend the crispy tofu bowl. You can't go wrong with any of the mixed drinks.

    Vegan Heaven! I bring all my friends/ family here despite their preferences. Some are meat eaters, some are vegan, some are gluten free. Every one of them have loved the meals and don't feel like they're missing out. Try the Tijauana Broccolini its ridiculously good! 4 stars- cause 1/4 times we went had to wait quite a while for our order. But Worth the Wait.

    Everything I tried was delightful. Service was speedy and polite. I would absolutely recommend. One Qualm, If you think there water glasses are small I would second guess ordering one of their $7 juices. Delicious, but I had 4 sips and it was gone.

    Spacious restaurant with trendy decor. The food was fantastic and authentic with a vegan twist and pleased vegans and non-vegans alike. The staff was welcoming and very helpful with their recommendations and explanations of the menu. Will definitely return! (Also have great cocktails menu)

    This used to be my favorite gas station. The people were friendly the prices were amazing. Being I'm on a limited income it was the only place that I could really afford they were always three to five cents or more cheaper than the others. Can't say that anymore prices are the same or higher. Sadly I won't be able to return until they go back down.

  • 5/5 Robin G. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Emma D. 2 years ago on Google
    Not only is this restaurant beautiful, the atmosphere is amazing. The cocktails are also delicious and there are so many to choose from! Even if you’re not vegan, I encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and try some of these vegan alternatives! Our server Rebecca was amazing and every single one of her recommendations were incredible. One thing I missed that I was hoping to have was the young coconut ceviche…oh..my..god..I had it a few years ago and I’m still thinking about it! Overall, don’t skip this place. Even if you’re not sold on the food (which you should be), stop by for a cocktail.

  • 5/5 Akanksha M. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing flavorful food with the absolutely right balance of flavors. The best vegan restaurant in town. The best thing is that they don't try to replicate the meat flavor and work with vegan food to explore their true flavor and textures.

  • 5/5 Margarita O. 2 years ago on Google
    Rosalinda was a great find! Perfect for lunch and great food for sharing. Our party of 5 enjoyed all the dishes and we will be back.

  • 5/5 Em Di S. 1 year ago on Google
    I sadly didn't get a chance to dine in at Rosalinda but my take-out was to die for, going for the Charred Cauliflower and Churros for dessert. The Cauliflower was delicious, even looking beautiful in the compostable container and I have to thank Rosalinda for the Churros... which I haven't had for at least a decade! Overall I was very happy and am looking forward to eating in next time I'm in TO.

  • 4/5 Ash 1 year ago on Google
    Food was yummy, but very small portions for the price, especially with the Yuca fries. Tacos were great, but again on the small side. The mushroom tacos were much better than the chorizo. I think for the price 3 tacos instead of 2 would have been better. Staff were really nice, atmosphere/decor was great. Bathroom was quite messy however.

  • 3/5 Edmond S. 1 year ago on Google
    Tried the Summerlicious menu, quite acceptable (some of the sauces are a bit too sour) though I think the drinks are more attractive. 3.5 star for me, maybe because I'm not especially fond of vegan food but this ain't bad, good vegetarian options..

  • 4/5 04mitche 1 year ago on Google
    I'm so happy that Rosalinda is stil open! The appetizers were to die for; so beautifully presented and tasty. The main dish although flavourful was very dry for some reason which is why I had to deduct a star. The ambiance was beautiful, plants everywhere which gave it great vibe. I would recommend!

  • 4/5 Sydney S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cozy and chill space, I liked the plants. Our server was very friendly and helpful. My favorite dish was the coconut tacos. The black bean fritters and cauliflower bowl were good, but for the price the food should be amazing, not just good. The cocktails were delicious though.

  • 4/5 Amanda C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great vegan spot in Toronto with some gluten free options available. Drinks were well made, the ambiance of the restaurant was really great and the service was excellent. The food was really good, but could have been better. I would happily go again and try something different, it looked like a lot of yummy options on the menu.

  • 2/5 Het M. 10 months ago on Google
    Ambience is good and our server was nice. But the macha bean bowl was tasteless and the beans were too hard to chew. When told to the staff, their only comment was ‘Sorry about that. Will let the chef know’. We did not see any accountability in terms of taking the dish back or other efforts to ensure customer satisfaction. Also, the prices are exorbitant for the kind of food served. Would unfortunately not recommend!

  • 3/5 Christina L. 8 months ago on Google
    Rating our experience is difficult because some of the food was amazing but the main course was not. Overall the food was very expensive. The empanadas were wonderful and mildly spicy. The cauliflower bowl topped the cauliflower with a brown sauce that really didn't match well with the guacamole and Pico de Gallo, and the cauliflower was mushy. The chimichurri bowl had great potatoes but I wish there was some kind of sauce for the rest of the bowl. The best and most surprising part was dessert. I've never liked cheesecake but it was delicious and light and not overly sweet with the compote. The churros were amazing; the chocolate sauce was a perfect pairing. I definitely recommend this place for appetizers and dessert but consider trying something other than the "bowls" if you are planning to have a main dish.

    had the pleasure of dining at this beautiful restaurant, and from the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm and welcoming staff. As a vegan, I always appreciate it when a restaurant not only caters to my dietary preferences but exceeds my expectations, and this place certainly did. I couldn't resist trying the Ride burger and yucca fries, and I must say they were absolutely great. The burger had a delicious blend of flavors, and the yucca fries were crispy and delightful. While I enjoyed those immensely, I have to admit that the tacos, though well-prepared, didn't quite match my personal taste. However, the standout of the evening was undoubtedly the beet salad. It was a symphony of flavors and textures, with the earthy sweetness of the beets perfectly complemented by the freshness of the greens and the tantalizing dressing. This dish alone left a lasting impression on my taste buds. I left the restaurant with a sense of contentment and a strong desire to return. The ambiance, the friendly staff, and the delightful vegan options all contributed to a memorable dining experience. I can confidently say that I am not just coming back here, but I am eagerly looking forward to my next visit. This restaurant has earned a special place on my list of favorites.

  • 5/5 Smita G. 8 months ago on Google
    My partner and I (both non vegans) enjoyed a meal here during our stay in Toronto. The ingredients were fresh and full of flavour, and none of the dishes disappointed! We would have returned if time permitted!

  • 5/5 Hugues M. 6 months ago on Google
    Very laid back and chill atmosphere and although I'm not vegan, I very much enjoyed the vegan fare. We shared the nachos with the chorizo verse, excellent starter and I had the Rosa Burger with Yuca Fries.

  • 5/5 Rebecca C. 6 months ago on Google
    Delicious food! Was craving Mexican food and it really hit the spot. Our server Al was amazing and helped us with the menu. Great guy! Even sold us on the vegan cheesecake for dessert and it was to die for. Would recommend going too. The atmosphere of the restaurant was a good vibe, all the staff were super friendly, and food was amazing

  • 5/5 Miriam L. 5 months ago on Google
    Rosalinda is a place with amazing food, I went there a few times, its a very good choice for vegan food, the servers are very polite, the atmosphere makes you feel so comfortable, about the food I can say that the explotions of flavours its amazing, you can feel it in layers, thank you for this experience. Last time I had the chance to try the yucca fries, the macha tofu and cowli bowl, and for dessert I tried the chocolate mousse. Please go and enjoy the experience of Rosalinda.
