Find your next vegan meal in London, Ontario
Looking for vegan restaurants in London, Ontario? Plan a Sunday brunch at Plant Matter Kitchen, an Asian-style meal at Zen Gardens, a tofu bowl at The Green Window or a Mexican dinner at Under the Volcano. This guide focuses on London in Canada, with practical ways to eat vegan across four different menus.
Plant Matter Kitchen is the dedicated vegan choice. Zen Gardens is vegetarian, while The Green Window and Under the Volcano serve mixed menus with vegan options. Use the dietary notes and exact addresses below rather than assuming that a vegetarian label or a tofu ingredient settles the whole order.
Vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants in London, Ontario
A useful food itinerary leaves room for different appetites and schedules. You might want a full breakfast plate one day and a portable bowl the next. These four venues are selected for their documented vegan offering and distinct meal formats, not as a measured ranking. Breakfast availability is discussed separately from ordinary lunch and dinner opening.
For vegan Sunday brunch
Plant Matter Kitchen publishes a dedicated vegan brunch menu. Confirm the current Sunday service window before booking.
For a weekday bowl
The Green Window — Downtown has vegan-labelled bowls and salads, including a tofu-based Sushi Bowl.
For a different dinner style
Compare Zen Gardens for Asian dishes with Under the Volcano for specifically vegan Mexican orders.
Restaurants in this guide
Editorial selection · not a rankingPlant Matter Kitchen
Wortley Road · London, Ontario
A full vegan brunch menu rather than a breakfast assembled from sides.
Plant Matter Kitchen's Sunday menu includes a Full English breakfast with tofu scramble, plant-based sausage, seitan bacon, beans and mushrooms. Other choices include a Just Egg omelette and waffles. It is the main brunch lead in this shortlist when you want a dedicated vegan restaurant rather than a mixed kitchen offering one suitable dish.
Before you order Confirm the Sunday start and finish directly. The homepage and brunch page publish different service times, so a precise brunch window is not treated as settled here. Check the current seasonal menu and tell staff about allergies independently of the vegan label.
Highlights: Vegan breakfast plates, Sunday brunch and a dedicated plant-based menu.
| Information | Details |

Zen Gardens
Dundas Street · downtown London
Use the vegan labels to build an Asian-style meal.
Zen Gardens identifies itself as vegetarian, and its merchant menu marks many individual dishes vegan. Examples include sweet-and-sour burdock balls, a tofu-and-mushroom casserole and spicy eggplant. These provide a concrete starting point for a shared dinner, with different textures and flavours rather than a single substitute protein.
Before you order Check each dish, including rice, desserts and drinks. The merchant menu identifies dairy in Pineapple Soy Chicken Fried Rice and in some sweets. A plant-based-sounding name is not enough. Confirm current availability and any egg or dairy ingredients when placing the order.
Highlights: Vegan-labelled main dishes within an extensive vegetarian menu.
| Information | Details |
|---|---|
| Vegan status | Vegetarian restaurant; selected dishes are explicitly labelled vegan. |
| Address | 344 Dundas Street London, Ontario N6B 1V7 |
| Current hours | Operator lists Tue–Thu 11:30am–9pm, Fri 11:30am–9:30pm, Sat 12:30pm–9:30pm, Sun 4pm–9pm. Monday is not listed; confirm exceptions directly. |
| Best fit | A vegan-labelled Asian lunch or a shared evening meal. |

The Green Window — Downtown
Queens Avenue · downtown
A bowl-focused option when you want a straightforward lunch.
The Green Window's vegan Sushi Bowl combines maple-marinated tofu, rice, vegetables, nori and a ginger-sesame dressing. Its Fresh Roll Bowl uses rice vermicelli and a creamy cashew sauce. For a vegan lunch in London, these named preparations are more useful than assuming every salad on a health-focused menu is animal-free.
Before you order Follow the V label and keep the plant-based protein and dressing. Other bowls offer chicken or contain dairy cheese. Select the Queens Avenue branch when ordering: different locations can have different schedules, and this downtown one is closed on Sundays and holidays.
Highlights: Clearly identified vegan bowls and salads with specific ingredient descriptions.
| Information | Details |
|---|---|
| Vegan status | Mixed-menu restaurant with dishes labelled vegan. |
| Address | 201 Queens Avenue London, Ontario |
| Current hours | Mon–Fri 11am–8pm; Sat 11am–5pm. Closed Sunday and holidays, according to the location page. |
| Best fit | A vegan bowl or salad for lunch or an earlier dinner. |

Under the Volcano
Wharncliffe Road North · London
A Mexican meal with the vegan version chosen deliberately.
Under the Volcano's online ordering menu lists a vegan burrito and vegan chimichanga without the conventional cheese and sour cream. These are useful choices when you want to eat vegan in London, Ontario, with a group that prefers a mixed menu. Check the full plate rather than changing only the filling.
Before you order Some other vegan-named entries retain cheese or sour cream in their descriptions. Treat that as an inconsistency to clarify, not as permission to assume those ingredients are plant-based. Confirm the sides, sauce and preparation directly with the restaurant.
Highlights: Specifically listed vegan Mexican orders and a different dinner format.
| Information | Details |
|---|---|
| Vegan status | Mixed Mexican restaurant with vegan dishes; ambiguous descriptions need clarification. |
| Address | 30 Wharncliffe Road North London, Ontario N6H 2A2 |
| Current hours | Tourism London lists Mon–Thu 4pm–9pm, Fri–Sat noon–10pm, Sun noon–9pm. Confirm current kitchen service before travelling. |
| Best fit | A vegan burrito or Mexican dinner with a mixed-diet group. |

Vegan breakfast and brunch in London, Ontario
Make Sunday brunch a separate booking
Plant Matter Kitchen is the brunch-focused option in this selection. Confirm its current Sunday timetable rather than choosing between contradictory published hours. The other three profiles are primarily lunch or dinner stops, not evidence of an early vegan breakfast service.
Plan an early weekday meal separately
A restaurant serving vegan food does not automatically open before work or an early departure. For a morning before the listed services begin, ask your accommodation about a complete vegan breakfast or arrange suitable food in advance. Do not count a noon-opening restaurant as your fallback.
Plan your London, Ontario vegan food stops
Include Ontario in your search
Keep London, Ontario, Canada in saved addresses and map searches. This article is not about London in the United Kingdom. Save the exact branch and menu before arranging a journey or sharing directions with someone else.
Read the whole dish description
Vegan menu labels are helpful, but a description that also lists dairy needs clarification. Ask about toppings and sides as well as the main ingredient. Explain allergies separately, and use the current ordering page rather than a screenshot of an older menu.

Research notes and image credit
Research updated September 25, 2026 using linked operator websites, merchant menus and Tourism London. This is desk research, not personal restaurant testing or a ranking. Conflicting service times and inconsistent vegan descriptions are flagged rather than silently resolved. Menus and availability can change; confirm important details before visiting.
