Nourish your Soul

Local. Dedicated to the community, the options here are ALL flavourful! Try something new and be amazed by what you find- bring your omnivores and see what a conscious chef can make taste incredible- this food would cost way more in Toronto.

Good food

We ordered the CBLT sandwich and the Smokey Mac n cheese. Really good! The Mac n cheese isn’t Smokey but it is delicious. Staff member was a little unfriendly but to be fair probably a little stressed being the only person handling all the customers and food. Our water glasses were dirty and we asked for new ones, they were still dirty so we didn’t have any water. We would come back for the food!

Most vegan food you will find!

Grounded is an amazing restaurant.
The owner and Master chef makes the most incredible plant based meals and desserts. I have been eating vegetarian and now vegan for 50 years and look forward to Grounded for our annual trip.
We eat there every day for four days and never have to repeat a meal. If you are ever in Stratford go to Grounded for a unique experience with your meal and friendly staff too.

Pros: Best vegan food, Organic, Original

Cons: N/A

Excellent little cafe

We learned about this cafe from Tara the owner at The Local Organics Health Food store in Goderich. We had one full day to visit the area and she sent us to thus wonderful place!!
We enjoyed the bacun cheese burger on a gluten free bun!! The sweet potatoes were delish and the Peach Cheezecake was, in a word, AMAZING!!!

Pros: Great tasting food , Cozy venue , Awesome staff

Amazing food, unpretentious venue

Blown-away by the quality of the food at this restaurant that I found thanks to the Happy Cow app. Traveling from Kitchener to Stratford for a Friday-evening performance at the Festival Theatre, I used the HappyCow app to find a restaurant that fit my culinary wants and dietary needs. As I walked up to the front door of the unpretentious venue, the mat greeted me with a "Why, hello!" message. The server was friendly, helpful, and attentive, answering all of my questions and addressing each of my dietary concerns. The food, all plant-based and hand-made by the chef, was presented beautifully and the depth of flavour is the best that I've tasted west of the GTA. I highly recommend this restaurant, and will absolutely be returning the next time that I'm in Stratford. The restaurant just celebrated its one-year anniversary, and I hope that it's doors are open for many years to come.

Pros: excellent food, friendly staff, flexible menu to accomodate dietary needs

Cons: small venue, few seats, noisy as the counter is close to the seating

Great Lunch

Quick lunch. I had The Protein bowl. Especially loved the red cabbage sauerkraut. Partner had the
Lentil soup. Tasty.
I’ll be back to try the Reuben next trip to Stratford.

If you find yourself in Stratford...

Still thinking about the one bite I had of my partner's Apple Cider donut. So good! I didn't have dessert because our BURRITO BOWLS (brown rice, sweet potato, seasoned black beans, tomato, cucumber, pineapple salsa, cilantro, cheese sauce chickpea tofu) were more than enough for me. So many things looked good on the menu. Hope to visit again.

Pros: Licensed

Amazing Food!

For lunch I had the moroccan bowl and my daughter had the tacos, both soooo delicious. We came back today for breakfast and both had the breakfast bowls that included coconut bacon and chickpea scramble, very tasty and filling. The owner and chef were very friendly. Wish this restaurant was in Kingston! You can eat in or take out. Yummy desserts and granolas too. Definitely give this restaurant a try, you won't be disappointed. Ambiance is small and casual, has a patio as well.
