  Can someone tell me why this place is so good?! I got chef Pong's special and it always blows me away. I'm not even vegan or vegetarian. The okra and cassava dish - I think it's cassava... it's white, starchy and a little bit sweet, is sooooo goood. I love it when they add that avocado on top. Just brings in all the colour and flavours. You get a little bit of sweet, spicy, smokey.. just delicious.

  Honestly there's not too many options for vegan food in the west end, that's why I'm so thankful for V's! V's has been on my radar for the past few months and I'm happy I've finally got a chance to go. I had the Chef Pong special, it's a mix of a little bit of everything! You get curry soy chunks, maple jerk tofu, plantain, quinoa, chickpeas, callaloo, topped with avocado. I would call ahead though, because sometimes they sell out of their popular items.
  
  Did I mention that maple jerk tofu though! :)

  Vegan Caribbean food is a unique combination that's succeeding in Toronto's tougher Mt Dennis west-end neighborhood. V's Caribbean Restaurant is actually attracting a flock of people from all over the city to try their comfort food. I made the trek and quickly located the entrance, which had a bit of island flair that made it easy to spot.
  
  I had the Chef Pong Special, a full offering with all of their vegan toppings. I really liked the maple jerk tofu, it was slightly sweet and deliciously imitated spicy jerk meat. The curry chickpeas, curry TVP soy chunks and caramelized plantain (banana) were also seasoned flavourfully as interesting sides. The mac & cheese, stew peas and callaloo (veggies) were more plain fillers and less tasty. The fresh avacado and quinoa nicely complemented all of the toppings, and basmati rice can be chosen instead of quinoa.
  
  This huge vegan platter doesn't come cheap ($15) yet is a healthy and filling alternative. While the staff gave a first look of suspicion at my interest, she started to smile when I mentioned that their food looked attractive. I didn't plan to stay long to dine-in so I asked for takeout. The seating area felt kind of stale though their use of Bob Marley placemats was cool.

  My son and his girlfriend are vegan, so when they visit we're always on the lookout for places to eat. V's was highly recommended by a vegan friend and now that we've eaten there I can see why. I'm not a vegan myself but I really enjoyed the food and can't wait to go back to try some other dishes. Absolutely delicious. Very friendly, informal and laid back, so if you want fancy don't go, but if you want good, then do. (Note: Cash only.)

  Nice surprise it was vegan.
  Staff looked very healthy, fit, so a good sign I should try vegan a bit more often....
  Excellent chick pea, potato roti.
