Shine Plant Based Kitchen — Restaurant in Ontario

Simply superb good hearty nourishing food! From farm to table, locally grown and organic products. Impressive Plant based eatery. I am recently new to the area from Toronto and was blown away at the care and thought that has been put in by the owner(s) to deliver delicious fresh food at very reasonable if not comparable prices. Well done! Finding this place is my good luck and so close to the waterfront. I had a curry coconut carrot soup partnered with a sautéed vegetable sandwich with a gluten-dairy free carrot cake. So goooood! The atmosphere is light and easy whether in groups, a date or on your own, there is a high level of easiness. The kitchen is open. Once you place your order you receive a number and they will bring it over. The young lady who took my order came by to check in to make sure all was well with food and experience. Nice touch. Friendly and welcoming staff on the floor and in the kitchen.

The experience was very comfortable from start to finish, with carrot cake to go. Ate half my sandwich, felt full, a generous serving relative to my experience in Toronto and Markham plant based eatery’s. Such a treat.

They are located walking distance to the waterfront by Lake Couchiching and some cute little shops to explore. Parking is available in the street and around the corner there is an easy access parking lot. Still learning my way around Orillia. Feeling very thankful that Shine is located here and how well they feed their customers is a genuine sign of care. It had the same feel as in Europe where quality of food is prioritized. Thank you Shine! This is now my destination point in Orillia. It is a rare occasion that I will eat out with my allergies and sensitivities and prefer to select and prepare my own food, hence very selective when I do. I will say that the food at Shine is absolutely delicious, appropriately seasoned, I slept well, stomach felt good and woke up feeling greatly nourished as if I ate at home. Thank you Shine! You really do shine! So happy to find you so close by. I will dine here, will bring my friends here and any group events will be held here. Looking forward to trying more items on the menu....

I've been here a few times now and it has never disappointed! I'm currently dairy free while breastfeeding and was craving pizza. We'll let me tell you, their pre-made freezer pizzas are amazing! Super quick and easy to make at home and in my opinion reasonably priced for the product. I got the bruschetta pizza and will one hundred percent be going there again to purchase more to keep in my freezer when I get another craving. Service was also amazing. Both the person working the front and the chef were so kind. They were super busy but still made me a Caesar salad to go in no time, which was delish and a huge portion. Would recommend this place to anyone asking for a restaurant recommendation in the area, whether they are plant based or not. They just make delicious food. Wish I took a picture to include with this review, but I ate everything too...

OK so if you asked me if I would eat in a vegan restaurant 6 months ago I would have laughed. BUT, A wonderful family member was visiting from the Left Coast and is Vegan. She had researched and wanted to eat there. So being the magnanimous individual I am, we three went off to eat on a cool rainy cruddy Orillia day. I ordered the burger knowing full well the closest it would be to meat was a cow passing by the field the greens came from. It was delicious. No joking and, No I did NOT lose a bet. It was fantastic. I did get a very small bit of burpy gas after eating but if you knew what I have dumped down the coal chute over the past 70 years, a little rebellious gas is nothing. this meat eating individual would recommend this establishment every day...
