One Love Vegetarian

Now I know what they ate in the Garden of Eden! Newly opened at 854 Bathurst Street, just a block up from the subway station, Aaron Li-Hill's glorious green mural hints at the garden of earthly delights that awaits inside One Love Vegetarian restaurant. Famous for the Caribbean corn soup they dished up at Harbourfront's World Cafe, Ras Iville and Ikeila Wright now provide Annex denizens island-style vegan food five days a week. Roti, lima bean stew... the day's menu varies but is always anchored by their soul-satisfying soup. On my last visit, organic whole-wheat dumplings were buried like treasure beneath savory steamed callaloo with chunks of plantain and yellow yam. When pepper comes it is fresh, diced scotch bonnet on a chip of coconut shell. Garden of Eatin' indeed. Closed Sundays and Mondays, check their website for exact hours. www.oneloveveg.com
