Probably the best vegan dish I’ve ever had is the “Chicken” tofu wrap from here. My friend loved her faux shrimp tacos which the place is apparently known for. I’d definitely come back. Vegan and very healthy, appetizing, and filling lunch.

Amazing Vegan / Vegetarian. I had the Tempeh Ruben with the a 1/2 side of Poutine and the Sesame Miso Bowl. The Ruben was amazing, must try. The Sesame miso was super delicious would get again. The staff was super helpful and nice. The restroom was clean and up to date. We went in around lunch time and had no waiting, got seated right away. The Owlery has Vegetarian meals that you can make completely vegan with substitutions being for cheese extra. If your in the area this is a great place for a date or a place to come and hang out. Nice atmosphere with quite music so nobody is trying to talk over it or each other. Parking was fine at the time no issues. Stores located around the area making it easy to walk around and other stuff to do. Must stop in and try even if your not Vegetarian or Vegan.

This was the perfect lunch spot! Great food options and right in Bloomington square. The service was the highlight and we loved our server as he was charming and he was able to work the room and still feel like we were his only table. The ambience was so cute and unique. It was a total vibe! The food was so delicious and was excited to have something new and exciting!

Didn’t get a chance to eat here when passed through last year and very thankful it lined up this year. Find a solid local vegetarian/vegan spot can be difficult for a traveler; other than modifying a meat dish and trusting/verifying they listen. Ordered the tempeh Rueben and my daughters ordered the fried chicken sandwich and wrap. They loved theirs and mine was excellent. Had a bit of the sandwich and was tasty too. Enjoyed the decor and atmosphere as well. Felt relaxing and welcoming.

This place was popping, I am glad we got there early. After seeing the food come out as we waited I could see why they had a line forming. I got their biscuits and gravy, but it was a mushroom gravy definitely not traditional but delicious. My only complaint was the biscuits were so thick you needed more gravy to not feel like your eating only biscuits on some bites. My wife had the chicken fried steak and that's definitely the meal to get, so GOOD!!

Great restaurant for vegans, and the food is delicious. During the pandemic they are only doing take-out, so make sure to call ahead so you won’t have to wait for your food. They had vegan meat and cheese, and a gluten free menu. So many options and so delicious. The peanut bowl isint included, but it was so yummy :)

Absolutely loved this place. The ambiance is top knotch with seating for any occasion - solo, couples or groups - with ample of room. Service is prompt and reliable. Food was great. I got a Kombucha to drink. It was canned and great. Mashroom Banh Mi was one of the best. Poutine was good. I don't have a reference for this. So it was okay. All in all, highly recommended Vegan/Vegetarian restaurant. I'm getting a bit tired of resturants charging different prices for cash and cards. But can't really take away a star cause many are doing it.

This place was amazing! The food is super delicious vegan. Very welcoming. Nice outdoor seating the best part of my experience with the server, Sydny. Their recommendations were on point! I got the Vegan Cobb salad, which was absolutely delicious. The Bahn Mi, which was great and on the spicy side. And poutine fries.
