Nice little spot with a “deli” style feel to it. Limited hours and we got there towards the later part of the afternoon but still got a nice plate to sample. The pasta salads were good, and most of the dishes I liked. The quinoa was a bit tangy but all in all a nice experience and vibe. The staff was super friendly.
If you like a big menu with lots of options and hot food, this place is not for you. But if you like really good, healthy plant-based then you are in the right place. It’s a tiny shop with no indoor seating hidden in the back of a courtyard. When I entered I wasn’t quite sure how it worked, and in a bit of frustration ordered the smorgasbord which is a little taste of everything. And, I’m very glad I did as it was filling and delicious. I also had the donut which, once I picked off the unnecessarily sweet icing, was very tasty. My partner had the tacos which he enjoyed but would have appreciated some sort of sauce for added flavour. Will definitely come back again the next time we are in town!
This restaurant is tucked away in a cozy back alley off Mill street. Their menu changes daily, and a popular choice is the smorgasbord plate, which is satisfying and delicious. They are currently only open Monday through Friday from 11am to 3pm.
Just moved here and I’m loving all of the healthy options available in this area but this one definitely stands out! Creative and tasty vegan food. I got the smorgasbord, which was huge! $18 so worth it. I’m excited to have a go-to spot to fuel my body with goodness?On top of that everyone was very friendly and it’s tucked into a tiny square so there’s not a lot of commotion (for my introverts out there). I’ll be back again!
I accidentally stumbled across this vegan gem hidden among Mill Avenue Shops courtyard. DRK serves a refreshingly healthy, wholesome, affordable alternative to the lunch snack options along Mill. The friendly atmosphere, daily menu of cool/invigorating teas smoothies, and tasty dishes are like visiting a friend's place to eat! You don't have to be vegan just a desire for good food! Vegetarian options: Freshly made vegan dishesTasty smoothies Parking: Plenty of public parking all around.
