I have seen and heard of these places but have never been in until today. Went in to cool down…read moreafter walking around the city of Barrie for a few hours. The place had the lights off which I appreciated because it kept the air cooler inside. I was greeted in a friendly manner by the staff person who served me. I ordered a small lemon mint iced tea from the fountain drink station they have at the front of the counter. The cup was given to me with a lemon wedge inside which I thought was a nice touch. The iced tea was refreshing and inexpensive. Will return to try to some food next time! I really liked and appreciated the ambiance of the establishment. I am a sucker for the "rustic chic" look and love the wood accents. I say at the wooden bar area with stools to look out onto the street. This place is a treat and definitely worth anyone taking the time to visit.

Veggie Planet is the premier choice for Indian fusion vegetarian cuisine. Even though their samosas…read moreare entirely plant-based, Veggie Planet offers the best samosas you'll find anywhere. We also really enjoy the live Pani Puri station! Guava and mango flavoured water are two of my favourites. I highly recommend Veggie Planet if you are seeking a snack or just a fun evening meal.

Christmas in March!…read more My best friend and I were supposed to meet up before Christmas. We both got busy, especially with my being stateside for the holidays. When I returned, she was away. We were both free in mid-March to exchange Christmas gifts and catch up. She lives in Peterborough. We tend to meet partway. I suggested this Veggie Planet in Ajax. She was game. We both had never been to any Veggie Planet location. I had no problem finding a parking spot in this plaza. I backed into a spot a few doors down from this eatery. I waited for my friend to arrive. Once she did, we walked in. Being our first time, we went with a pizza. I asked an extremely helpful woman behind the counter what size would be good for us. She recommended a medium pizza. We got the following items: - Medium Indian masala pizza - Onion rings - Kawa nuggets - Masala soda (sweet with a hint of saltiness) - Diet Pepsi My friend wanted onion rings. I originally wanted to get the kawa (soy) drumsticks. The female staffer recommended the nuggets instead. Interesting. I went with her suggestion. For the masala soda, she said that I could get it either sweet or salty. I asked if I could get a bit of each. So, my drink ended up being sweet with a hint of saltiness. I paid with a credit card. The transaction was smooth. She said that she'd bring the food and drinks over. Nice! We grabbed a table and chatted. Our drinks came out first. I loved my masala soda. It was slightly sweet. It did have a bit of saltiness to it. The masala was perfect with the fizzy soda. I just wish that this drink were offered in a larger size. I ended up getting a cold Diet Pepsi an hour later. It was perfect. Our medium Indian masala pizza came next. By default, it had tomatoes, onions, and green bell peppers. My friend is vegan. We made sure that we got vegan cheese. The pizza was yummy. The cheese melted nicely. However, with this vegan cheese, you will never get a stretchy cheese pull. In hindsight, this pizza would have been even better with protein. Kawa would have worked nicely. Luckily, we had kava nuggets. They were delicious. They were crispy and yummy. You couldn't tell that they were soy. The dipping sauce was yummy. I liked the onion rings. They were so crispy. They were enjoyable to eat. We spent at least a couple of hours here. I provided feedback on how fabulous the food was and how helpful the woman was when I bought my Diet Pepsi. She smiled and seemed happy. There is a washroom that's a single stall at the back of this eatery. It's the type where you press a button to lock the door and another button to unlock it. A light outside the washroom lets the world know that it's either vacant (green) or occupied (red). My friend used it first and said that it was clean. I used it afterwards. A customer tried opening the door twice while I was using the washroom. I actually said something the second time and she stopped tugging at the door handle as if her life depending on it. When I was done, I locked eyes with the woman who was clueless about the lights. Other than weird washroom woman, we had a great time here. I still want to try the drumsticks and get the masala soda again. So good! (139)

The vegetarian choices served at The Buddhist Vegetarian Kitchen are always delicious…read more They are known for specialty Buddhist vegetarian meals and have been in the community for years. We ordered a few things and were very impressed with how well they were made. Served hot, our selections were like works of art. #16 - Bean Curd with Mixed Vegetables - plentiful amount of different types of veggies. # 5 - Stuffed Bean Curd Skin * - always delicious. # 65 - Rice Noodle w Vegetarian Chicken & Vegetable - came with generous giant pieces of mock chicken. Excellent vegetarian dishes.

My fav is their mixed veg platter. It is yummy…read more Service is fine. Like most Chinese restaurants. Ambiance is dated.

Everything was on the sweeter side - too sweet for our liking. In comparison to some of the spots we have in Toronto, this was not what we expected. I can see how it would be a popular spot around here though. The food isn't bad just not to our preference. Portions on the smaller side. 10% off when you pay in cash. They don't take credit card. Only debit, zelle or etransfer.

The only decent thing is the spring rolls cuz it was probably premade and frozen.

A totally unexpected surprise…read more We were hankering for meatless/less heavy, and stumbled upon this charming Vietnamese restaurant. A tiny, family business who provide a quiet, serene and pleasant dining experience. NO MUSIC. BONUS! Spouse had the "bun bo Hue" and myself the "crab and fish maw". Hubby said that the taste and texture of the seitan (glutens) were on point. The "fish maw" in my crab soup had a perfect fish maw texture! We polished both off our dishes in record time and felt good about what we ate. I'm not a vegan but sometimes you just want something light and sustaining. HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. The owners/staff are nice to their customers.

The cafe has a pretty chill vibe with lots of games stacked to kill time. We played Jenga. As far as the food is concerned, we loved the Peri Peri fries, the Vegetarian Burger and the Spicy Noodles.
