SEITAN
Seitan is a vegan protein substitute. It is high in protein and low in fat. Seitan begins with whole wheat berries that are ground into flour. This flour is mixed with water and kneaded into an elastic dough. The dough is rinsed under water to dissolve and wash away the starch, leaving the stretchy gluten behind. When cooked, the gluten is transformed into seitan, a food with a texture and flavor quite different from its original ingredients. Depending on how it is cooked and seasoned, seitan is capable of taking on a wide range of textures and flavors. Although long a staple in Asia and some European countries, seitan has only recently become available outside of a few natural foods stores
TEMPEH
Tempeh has been a favorite food and staple source of protein in Indonesia for several hundred years. It has a firm texture and a nutty flavour. Tempeh is a complete protein that contains all the essential amino acids. The proteins and isoflavones have many health promoting effects such as bone building, reducing risk of coronary heart disease and some cancers. Tempeh maintains all of the fiber of the beans and gains some digestive benefits from the enzymes created during the fermentation process.
Tempeh is a fermented food made by the controlled fermentation of cooked soybeans with a Rhizopus mold (tempeh starter). The tempeh fermentation by the Rhizopus mold binds the soybeans into a compact white cake. Tempeh fermentation also produces natural antibiotic agents which are thought to increase the body’s resistance to intestinal infections.
KALE
Kale provides more nutritional value for fewer calories than almost any other food around. It boosts the body’s detoxification enzymes, helping to clear potentially carcinogenic substances more quickly. Kale provides an excellent source of Vitamin A – an important vision nutrient; Vitamin C – for antioxidant protection and immune support; Vitamin E – helps slow down loss of mental function; calcium – for healthy bones, and fiber – for colon cancer prevention.
QUINOA
Quinoa is a wonder grain, seed of a leafy plant with its’ origin from the Andean civilization. The United Nations classified it as a super crop due to its nutritional value of essential amino acids, iron and vitamins. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, low in fat, it offers benefits to the heart. It is gluten-free and easy to digest .
AVOCADO
Avocado, a native to Central America, is rich in potassium (30% more than banana) that helps regulate blood pressure. It contains ‘oleic acid’ a monounsaturated fat that may help lower cholesterol. It is an excellent source of Vitamin E which promotes skin health and Vitamin B6 which is essential to the central nervous system function.
ARTICHOKE
Some of the most powerful polyphenol-type antioxidants are found in artichoke. It is an excellent source of Vitamin C which enhances iron absorption and is vital for a healthy immune system.
MISO
Miso is a salty buttery paste produced by fermenting soybeans, mixture of rice or barley with salt and a yeast mold (koji). It is rich in the immune boosting mineral, zinc. It is also high in iron, copper & manganese which are all important in energy production & anti-oxidant defenses.
SHIITAKE MUSHROOM
Long a symbol of longevity in Asia for their health promoting properties, Shiitake mushrooms have been used medicinally by the Chinese for over 6000 years. It contains an active compound called lentinan, which helps boost the immune system, promotes anti-cancerous activity and lowers cholesterol.
EDAMAME BEAN
Edamame beans are fresh soya beans that are harvested when the plant is still young and green. They are low in fat, calories and contain all the essential amino acids the body doesn’t make on its own. Edamame beans are high in fiber which is known to lower cholesterol and contains isoflavons which is key to lowering the risk of heart disease

Excellent
Awesome restaurant!!! Great food and reasonably prices for what you get. Stunning views. Incredible service. Been here a few times and will keep going back.
Food - The food is great! My husband is not vegetarian and he enjoyed eating there so much he has gone back several times on his lunch break alone! There desserts are delicious! We have driven all the way from Ajax there just to get dessert. I have never had vegan ice cream that tastes so good. They also have a really good selection of beverages from smoothies to teas. Service - The service is fantastic. I am always greeted in a very friendly manner when entering the restaurant. Atmosphere - The atmosphere is very relaxed, casual and comfortable. We will definately continue to be regular customers at vegetarian haven.
As a omnivore with meat leanings, I was initially dragged to Vegetarian Haven. Several visits later, I don't mind the odd meatless meal. The fake drumsticks were tasty (and fyi you aren't supposed to eat the "sticks" even if they are sweet and crunchy). I'm still not sure what Tempeh is but it was filling. Save room for dessert, well worth it. A few words about the serivce: friendly, genial, and professional.
I've been to Vegetarian Haven numerous times for both lunch and dinner and it's always a wonderful experience. Huge variety to choose from and everything always tastes amazing.
I enjoy going to this restaurant. Great selection of various dishes.
