Veghed

The Muay Thai Box is one of the best salads I’ve ever eaten. It’s packed full of fresh ingredients. I wouldn’t even know where to start to create this at home. Whenever I eat at Veghed, I feel like I’m doing something great for my body.

I have been wanting to visit Veghed since reading about it on BlogTO a year ago. According to the article, Veghed is owned by a chef who’s had more than 20 years of experience working in three-​Michelin-​starred restaurants in Europe with top chefs such as Marco Pierre White.
This chemical-​free store specializes in non-​GMO/​organic plant-​based vegan/​vegetarian take-​out. Veghed has the scent of a vegetable garden. Pots and pots of pea shoot fills the restaurant with fresh vibrancy. Food is alive at Veghed.
The Muay Thai salad box ($ 9) is out of the world. Veghed’s 22 ingredients salad one of the best I have ever had. The owner called it the reversed daily vitamin. The salad is designed as an complete meal with yam noodle, mint, basil, pea shoot, chili, peanuts, spinach, tofu, bean sprout, cucumber, spiral beets, spiral zucchini, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, napa cabbage, cabbage, cilantro and ginger-​tamarind and green leaf dressing. Just reminiscing the salad makes me salivate!
The beet brownie ($ 3 for two) is equally delicious. It is a less evil counterpart to a traditional brownie with vegetable in disguise. It’s the James Bond of dessert brownie.
If I have to eat at one salad for the rest of eternity, the Muay Thai Salad at Veghed is it.

Grilled cheese was crap! This restaurant is not trust worthy. Just went there today for a quick dinner. Ordered grilled cheese takeout. It was burnt. I stood there saw them cooking it and realizing it was completely burnt. So I assumed they were gonna make me a new one, well they didn’t. Who would give a burnt toast knowingly? Ughhh so disappointed

I. Can’t. Stop. Eating! Aaaarrrggghhh! Little did I expect to finish that humongous Muay Thai Bowl, but I did. And I’ve got no regrets, yo. Honestly, I think it was one of the tastiest salads I’ve eaten. Good amount of protein too. Will gorge again when I visit Toronto next time for sure.

Such a special place. Every meal I’ve gotten has been colourful, healthy and exciting to eat. The staff is sweet and so helpful. The price is great as well. I’ll definitely be returning here.

I’ve walked by many times. I really disliked the ice cream shop that was here before, so I guess I was biases against the location. Well, all this raving about the Muay Thai salad box is completely justified. It is $ 8 and huge. It is delicious. And the people serving are a complete delight. I’m not vegetarian but would definitely go back. Highly recommend for quick lunch in the area.

Finally made a stop here after wanting to come for over a year since moving to Toronto! The reviews are not lying, this place is SO friggen GOOD! And the lady behind the counter is just the sweetest! Highly recommended for anyone (+meat-​eaters!) To try deliciously made vegetarian/​vegan options!
I had the Muay Thai Salad. A bunch of organic spinach, daicon, radish +other organic ingredients on a bed of glass noodles in sesame peanut sauce. Highly recommended for peanut sauce lovers (of which I conveniently am: D)!! Very glad I chose their food for my first visit but everything here looks delish!

The Thai salad is huge and contains about 20 fresh ingredients. It’s really delicious and cheap I love this place. I wish they would be open on Sunday’s

I loves the meat. I needs the meat. But sometimes you gotta get some of them leafy greens up in ya. Veghed has gotchu!
The muay thai dish is the nexus between art and salad. A kaleidoscope of raw veggie goodness on a bed of tasty glass noodles.
The rotating hot dishes (ancho coconut kale chili /​wild mushroom soup /​yellow curry) always delivers on its promise.
The lovely couple that runs this joint is the MOST adorbs. Just the sweetest.
Bottom line, do yourself a favour. Get up in there, boi!

Review #100!!! So excited to review Veghed, as it’s just a phenomenal find. If you peruse my reviews, you’ll discover a few things about me. My food groups are often sugar, doughnuts, and BBQ. I also like coffee and liquor. Now yes, everything in moderation and all that — but point is, I am far from a crunchy granola hippie head. I don’t need my food to be detoxifying or whatever, I need my food to taste good, I need to enjoy the experience of what I eat. And that is where Veghed comes in. This is the healthiest, most immaculately prepared, incredibly DELICIOUS vegetarian food that you will ever LOVE. LOVE, ALL CAPS LOVE. I have gone back to this place 3 times this week. The food here makes me feel like a super hero, like I can fly and move mountains and sh*t. But it also is some of the best food I’ve ever tasted. Faves are the Muay Thai Noodle Salad, an ammmaaaaaazzziiing deal at $ 7. You could totally make two meals of it, and it’s fresh and delicious and full of yam noodles and veg goodness. The grilled cheese is some of the best I’ve ever eaten, complete with apple slices and honey on top. You can order it with the salad, for which I will quote Amy Pataki of the Toronto Star:
«With the salad, a lavish affair starring 20 ingredients, Veghed gets interesting. Spiralized beets and zucchini meet cross-​sectioned radishes and shaved heirloom carrots. Kale, spinach, broccoli florets, cucumber and a lime wedge bring the green. Crisp shallots supply crunch, as do the seeds: organic hemp, sunflower and pumpkin. Vegan lemon-​pomegranate vinaigrette pulls it nicely together.» And I swear to you, on my first visit to Veghed, I actually watched the chef pluck one substandard piece of purple basil off the top of my salad, and replace it with another, more perfect piece of basil. They are meticulous about every detail here. Not only does this salad taste good, it’s a feast for the senses — soooo many gorgeous colors and flavours and textures all coming together. It’s harmonious, unique, and you won;t be able to stop eating it. I took a vegetarian friend for lunch and she commented how all of this leads to a stronger sense of satisfaction — veggie food can be boring, both in taste and in experience — food as fuel, not fun. This food is an experience will make you giddy, that you will want to enjoy over and over again, that will make you feel like a god. Oh, and they have this lemon-​ginger-​turmeric tea? They sell it in big mason jars for $ 10. It’s like liquid gold. You can drink it hot, cold. I’ve been downing buckets of the stuff night and day, so addictive. Go get some now!

Hands down the best vegetarian in Toronto. The salads, soups, and noodle bowls are bursting with flavour totally unique to this type of hippie/​yuppie cuisine. And the price is so reasonable, you are left feeling like you should actually be paying more.

This place is it. Their Muay Thai salad box is packed to overflow with so many ingredients (apparently 20, but it looks like more) that every bite is a new li’l adventure. Crazy delicious and clean. If you’re feeling like your body hates you for what you consumed on the weekend, grab this for lunch and you’ll be sorted out. The lady behind the counter is always so happy and sweet, so they must be making money, but at $ 7 it’s hands down the best value in the area. Marry me, salad lady?

Had the Muay Thai salad and it was excellent! I don’t write reviews often but was very pleased with the service and excellent quality of the food. I find a lot of ‘healthy’ fast-​service restaurants try and use a lot of grains as fillers and skimp on the vegetables which is not the case here. I’m not vegetarian either, but I will be making this a new regular spot.

I’m not a vegetarian but Veghed is converting me. In one lunch I was served the best salad and the best grilled cheese I’ve ever had. Just come here and support the future of veggie dining!

Had the muay thai salad… it was awesome! Alot of great flavours and good value. Would highly recommend this place to anyone, veggie or non.

This is a crazy deal for one of the best salads I’ve ever had, eating here regularly now!

Huge fan of everything they do at this lovely little place! In the winter I would get the healing hot lemon and ginger juice that I’d argue saved me from getting sick this past winter. Most recently I got a box (soup, salad and rice) and it was so intensely flavourful and beautiful, I never wanted it to end. A vegan curry stew that was so fresh and light and a salad with teeny greens, flower petals and garlic chips, I love it so much here, if only it was open til 8 or 9!

This place is incredible. Every dish, from the salads and soups to the amazing grilled cheese, is rich with flavours. Great value, great fresh and subtle flavours, and great friendly welcoming service. Well worth going out of your way to pick up a delicious lunch or eat at the counter and watch the neighbourhood. Highly recommended.

The soups here are mindblowing thanks to chef Ren Mercer. So many layers, notes and flavours.
Other specialties including fresh veggies juices and tonics and fermented foods like truffle pickle beets.
Recommend everything here and Ruth is fun to talk to too.
