Most of our menu items are vegan. We believe that by offering really tasty everyday vegan food that is made from real ingredients, we can encourage people to eat more plant-based foods. This means that we contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions by shifting consumption away from meat, which represents about 10% of Canada’s carbon footprint. We’ve heard “you don’t miss meat eating this” a good number of times!

We also focus on the use of high-quality ingredients. By using fresh rather than processed or pre-cut ingredients, we reduce food transportation and processing. It also means that our food is fresher, tastier, and more wholesome.

We understand that any type of food packaging will have an impact on the environment. We believe however that this impact can be significantly reduced through more sustainable choices. At great cost, we avoid the use of single use plastics, and focus on the use of plant-based packaging. For example, our Koshari is offered in containers made from sugarcane husk and our clear containers are plant based. We also use wooden cutlery and paper bags and do not offer beverages in plastic bottles.

To further reduce our use of packaging, we partnered with Suppli to offer food in reusable containers. We continue to work with them to offer more items in these containers.
