We’ve gone to the Windsor Arms<\/a>\u00a0(18 Saint Thomas Street – Toronto, Ontario)\u00a0twice so far, once for brunch a month or so ago, and once for dinner. Brunch was much easier to photograph, unfortunately dinner had a bit too much mood lighting to be\u00a0conducive\u00a0to pretty pictures.<\/p>\n

I think it’s worth going to the Windsor Arms at least once (or twice), if not for the food, then the general dining experience, especially since vegan fine dining experiences can be few and far between depending on where you live.<\/p>\n

The vegan options at the Windsor arms were developed by Doug McNish, Edit: I cannot recommend anything related to Doug McNish. Please see this Vice News Article<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to it, since the title makes me\u00a0reminisce about\u00a0the first meal I had from Chef Doug<\/del>, when he was still at Raw Aura (in\u00a0Mississauga). Raw lasagna. Yes.<\/a><\/p>\n
