About Us

Vegandale

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. BUT... they can't contain all of that to just one city block, so they’ve packed up to take over the world!
