As Canada's most populated city it's no surprise that
everything is available to the visitors and locals of Toronto including a wide
variety of organic restaurants that run the gamut from basic quick stop
"get your veggie fix" to lavishly, locally sourced, haute cuisine.
Many local organic restaurants boast an adherence to what they call the FOSL
philosophy - Fresh, Organic, Sustainable, and Local.

its very core, the Beet prides itself on not only delivering delicious fare,
but doing its utmost to promote health and well being in balance with nature.
They use ingredients that are local or certified fair, and even their interior
design and packaging is 100% biodegradable.

Toronto's wealthier suburbs with stunning views of Lake Ontario, Compass offers

Williams Landing
120 Lynn Williams Street
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
(647) 340-8008
Located in the King West area of downtown, Williams
Landing has become a popular bar and grill. They add a second "S" to
the FOSL philosophy where "Seasonal" is as important an aspect to
dining as caring for the planet. As their menu states: William Landing
"supports the community that supports (them)" and where everything
from the butchering to the vinaigrette is prepared in house.
