Shine is my absolute favourite restaurant in Orillia. You cannot go wrong with anything you order…read more The bacon cheeseburger, mushroom sandwich, chicken souvlaki, or gnocci are all incredible. In fact, they are so good that I have not tried anything else as I keep coming back for more. The caesar salad is delicious and it is impossible to tell that it is vegan. If there's only one place to try, I would definitely recommend Shine.

I got my order to go and it didn't take along to prepare. The king oyster pulled pork sandwich was excellent! Full of flavour and the gluten free bun was fresh and fluffy. The Cali livin salad was nice and light. A great balance with the sandwich. I would highly recommend this place, whether you have dietary restrictions or not, the flavour will not disappoint!

Am I the only one who thinks a chickpea salad- the chickpeas need to be soft and cooked? Not raw and so hard could break tooth. Her burger I ate right after receiving and still bun broke apart before even biting in and it was completely tasteless besides the mustard. Her muffins on her web page said they were 2 inches wide by 1.5 inches high NOPE they were smaller! Enclosed pictures. Would I recommend HELL NO. I even noticed on the find vegan food web page called happy cow the owner made a 5 star review (the only review on the page) be careful where you eat and do your research ahead of time. I don't think beach vegie is priced fairly and it does not taste good, I do not recommend

Last year, my friend and I visited Blue Mountain and Collingwood and went to Green Thai Mango Fusion restaurant on our 2nd day there. ----- The Breakdown: Green Thai Mango Fusion |7.5/10 | $14+ I got Spicy Beef Coco which was served at a cute Thai restaurant and the staff was friendly.

Four of us were starving and the alternative was to order takeout and eat in our hotel suite. Enter this venue that was offering takeout for pickup. A quick browse using their online menu and this was our selection: Mango Salad, Papaya Salad, Chicken Curry, Pineapple Fried Rice with Shrimp, Pad Thai with Shrimp, Sweet & Sour Fish Fillet, Tom Yum Noodle Soup with Seafood, and Crispy Ginger Beef. Total meal was almost $125. It was a 7 km drive to the restaurant. It was already dark out and my son and I finally located this place at the end of a strip mall; the roadside signage was missing several business signs. The storefront venue sign was not lit and the place looked closed. Anyhow, we picked up our takeout order. Overall, the meal was disappointing and maybe the chef wanted to go home or didn't want to work on Christmas Day. Brief points: un-ripened mango, un-ripened papaya, yes the pineapple fried rice was yellow but where was the fruit, fish fillet used looked/tasted like frozen fillets (...Captain Highliner?). Positives: large shrimps, crispy beef, chicken curry, white rice, did I mention large shrimps. Oh well, we were happy to have a hot meal. Merry Christmas!

Yet, the drink grew on me as I was walking through the mall and was super grateful that my tummy felt good the entire time vs it being an upset stomach from coffee. They had a lot of interesting treats and food as well that I would like to try next time I'm in town. I am allergic to nuts so there are several items I would have to avoid eating, but lots of good intention, made from scratch items here.

It's amazing to see that they now have their own location at New Market with the same delicious recipes! I love all their flavours from Mint chocolate to hazelnut ($4.50-$5).

You don't have to worry about your hips, when you put these on your lips!

Being a fan of the Bakes by the Lake lunch and treats, I was excited to see they had expanded and were offering more options to the gluten free and vegan community. The tea room is beautifully and elegantly decorated. From the light fixtures to the cutlery, it shows they have put much thought and energy into the vision they have for the space. I was definitely impressed! The menu offers a little bit of everything. My boyfriend, who isn't gluten free tried a gluten free beer and really enjoyed it. We were there around lunch so we opted for sandwiches. Not having to ask if something could be removed or was gluten free was so nice. We swapped half's of sandwiches and loved both. My boyfriend had no idea it was vegan cheese until I told him after he ate his half. He said he would order it again. The Gourmet Grilled Cheese had the upper hand with the black truffle dip that came with it - sooo good. How can you go wrong with black truffle anything?! :) All and all, was a terrific dining experience. We will be back for sure! They offer live music, brunch, lunch and dinner and also have a very nice patio. The customer service was spot on too. Being family run was really nice to see too.

We tried a few desserts; I would suggest skipping desserts here and focusing on their awesome bowls. The decor is lovely, and the service was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended!
