Toronto\u2019s Vegan 100 is a curated list of some of the unbelievable vegan dishes suggested by discerning local vegans who shared their favourite dishes, memorable meals and unforgettable finds put together by Lisa from Vegan Culinary Crusade<\/a><\/p>\n

While I might not agree with absolutely all of these items as the best that Toronto has to offer, I think it’s a great list and a great way to start your vegan explorations in the city.<\/p>\n

I remember doing the Portland Vegan 100 a few years ago<\/a>, and I really liked it, so I asked Lisa if she’d be cool with the same kind of repost.<\/p>\n

Here’s how the PDX Vegan 100 worked:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) Copy this list into your own blog, facebook or website, including these instructions.
\n2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten. (Like this<\/strong>)
\n3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating (or wouldn’t eat again). (Like This<\/del>)
\n4) Link your post back to the original<\/a>.
\n5) Pass it on!<\/p>\n

Here it goes.<\/strong><\/p>\n
