A big lover for Vegan food, so always on the hunt for Vegan restaurants. This place is a 15 min walk from my work place which is best in beautiful summer weather.Their menu option is great, with satire to meat products in a funny way.I tried their Caeser Chicken Tofu Wrap with Broccoli and Cauliflower soup. I loved the soup, with a nice balance of taste. The wrap was good, but not filling as I was expecting. But that's why they give an option for a side from Fries, Salad and Soup.Definitely will be another round in the near future.
Garlic bread that costs ~$5, advertised vs reality, please zoom in to spot fresh garlic and parsley
the order:_ truffle mac & cheese - smelled heavenly, however when i started to dig in i didn't enjoy it as much as i would have. noodles were al dente, sauce was lacking in flavor, sautéed organic mushrooms were very flavorful. for each spoon, i had to make sure i had some of the mushroom to get a 'kick' of flavor or else it would've tasted plain. overall yummy m&c but needs a kick!the overall:_ i have yet to explore (in detail) the world of vegan food so i decided to try out Parka Food. Sourced locally, reduce food waste, sustainable, focuses on natural ingredients, and breaks down the misconception of plant-based food. choosing Parka Foods means you're choosing to make a positive impact._ beautiful, beautiful aesthetic and as soon as you walk in, you know exactly what they're all about._ staff was extremely helpful, helped me choose the order_ excited to try the rest of the menu
During our stop in Toronto, we went here twice for lunch. Cute atmosphere. Delicious and creative planted based menu. Everything we had was great! Service was friendly & quick, we felt safe as vaccine proof was requested & a sign in form was filled out. Place was also very clean. Definitely recommend to all my follow vegans out there!
Parka is so much more than a restaurant! To know that every time I choose to eat here I am making a positive impact in the world & getting the most delicious food ever is just amazing. They are striving for true change and I love supporting them. Such a cool space too and the staff are wonderful. Best vegan restaurant in the city!!
Parka was so cute oh my goodness I ordered the classic Mac and cheese and it was so flavourful. My partner got the chipotle cauliflower bowl. Such a cool vibe and a vast selection of original plant based dishes. Will definitely return:)
I haven't gone to many vegan restaurants but this one definitely stood out! I got a chipotle cauliflower bowl with a peach iced tea and it was divine. The ingredients were super fresh and everything balanced out super nicely. Also, I liked that the peach iced tea wasn't too sweet so I could taste the flavour of the tea better. The ethics of the restaurant are also a big plus. Overall, a wonderful experience!
Just went for the first time today and was delighted to have a delicious lunch! Clean, fresh interior and delicious burger and fried cauliflower...highly recommend!
Great place with a lot of choices of plant-based food! Because it’s so close to my workplace, I come here about 1 to 2 times a week. Place is really clean and staff is very friendly, but I do have couple of remarks.First of all, I agree with the fact that truffle Mac and Cheese is not it. My coworker tried it, and she throw away almost the whole meal, because it didn’t taste good.And finally, I would give you 5 star rating if the staff were wearing gloves! It irritating and seems not hygienic to not wear gloves when preparing someone’s meal. I do trust your employees that they wash their hands, otherwise I wouldn’t come back, but please, please, please enforce gloves at your workplace, it looks more professional and trustworthy for your customers! As a person who works in the restaurant kitchen myself I cannot imagine not wearing gloves when preparing customers meal.Overall, great place, which I would recommend! Definitely will come back, hope you will improve in the future!
I ordered the Chipotle Cauliflower Bowl, and I would definitely go back to Parka as for the meal tasted fantastic and the combination of ingredients worked perfectly together.My only complaint would be that the portion wasn’t as large as I was expecting it to be, especially being that I ordered the large size and for what it's priced at.
