Vegandale is a mecca for the ethically minded and hungry, with the best of vegan food, goods, and services co-existing on one city block in downtown Toronto. This premier destination for the vegan and vegan-curious is the only one of its kind, promoting a world where animal exploitation is a thing of the past. With roots in abolitionism, its unapologetic messaging is the connection between each project they touch.
