Silver-medal winner for best vegetarian restaurant at the 2010 Toronto Sun Readers Choice Awards, Commensal concocts hot, cold, and dessert buffet menus of vegan, ovo, and lacto fare with organic ingredients and gourmet technique. Creamed vegetables, herbs, and spices recline on a veggie plate meal, and maple syrup and cider vinegar imbue Thai seitan with a tangy taste and memories of autumnal hayrides spent courting slices of tofu. As Grenoble walnuts and raisins assimilate into cold chicory and pear salads, hand-picked spinach and julienne of sweet red pepper saunter into the chinese salad, joining cashew nuts flavoured with tamari and garlic. Sweet teeth can select among the dessert buffet’s abundance of treats, such as date squares, maple-syrup pie, or chocolate-mousse cake. Commensal charges customers based on the weight of the food on their plates and piled under their bowler hats ($24.30/kg for hot and cold buffet; $27.70/kg for dessert buffet) before inviting them to feast in a tile-floored indoor dining room or outdoor patio.

Though Commensal sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
