Wonderful Staff and lovely food. Nice to have a place like this around. - Edit
Mathilda and Jon are wonderful people whom I have known since they opened here in Oshawa 6 years ago. Since then they have moved to a bigger location across the street, their menu and offerings have grown and their grocery options have grown (Hearty Hooligan Pizza Pockets, house made Ice Cream).

Some of the best Veg Chicken I've Ever Had - Edit
We were in Trent Hills and wanted to have a good meal... we drove an hour to Mathilda's soley based on Happy Cow reviews. It was worth the drive and so much more. This was one of the most surprising and delicious meals I've ever had. Such high quality food, and wonderful staff. Would eat here every day if I lived in Oshawa!!

Delicious Heathly Food that just happens to be Vegan - Edit
Mathilda's Vegan Restaurant in Oshawa, Ontario, is an absolute gem that has consistently delighted my taste buds with delectable and inventive offerings. From the very first bite, it's evident that Mathilda's culinary creations are crafted with both love and passion.
Read moreWhat truly sets this restaurant apart is the impeccable balance of flavors. Mathilda's food is so incredibly well-seasoned and flavourful that you'd hardly believe it's entirely plant-based. With each dish, she demonstrates a remarkable ability to transform ordinary ingredients into extraordinary culinary experiences. It's a testament to her culinary prowess that the food is so satisfying, you'll never even think about missing meat or dairy.
The menu is a testament to her creativity, showcasing a wide array of dishes that cater to both vegans and non-vegans alike. Whether you're a seasoned vegan or just curious about plant-based dining, Mathilda's offers an inviting and diverse range of options. Her dishes are not only delicious but also healthy, low fat, and low sugar, which reflects her dedication to the art of plant-based cuisine.
One of the things I appreciate most about Mathilda's is the flexibility it offers. Dine in or on busy days choose to take away. I often find myself stocking up on her delectable creations, freezing them to have on hand for those hectic times when I don't have the time or energy to cook. It's a lifesaver for the modern, fast-paced lifestyle most of us lead.
Mathilda's Restaurant is a true culinary treasure in Oshawa, Ontario, and an excellent example of the heights that plant-based cuisine can reach. Whether you're a seasoned vegan or just looking to explore new flavors, Mathilda's is a must-visit. It's a place where taste, passion, and creativity come together to create an unforgettable dining experience. I cannot recommend it enough – a cuisine that nourishes not only your body but also your soul.
Pros: Flavourful, Fast-Grab and Go, Friendly Passionate Staff

What an awesome place and awesome food! - Edit
Honestly I wouldn't have thought Oshawa could beat Toronto for vegan food but Mathilda's does or at least is on par.
Read moreMost East Asian choices but there's also Middle Eastern and European dishes as well.
The Teriyaki Chicken, Indonesian Noodles with Pork, Chickn Parm with whipped potatoes, Chickn Calzones, Spinach pastry, Balinese Beef - all unbelievably yummy.
You can make your own combos from the hot plates or get food ready to go in take out containers. There's baked goods as well. Oat and chocolate square? You may think "oh that's really plain" but I can't tell you how good is was! I'm still shocked over 3 days later!
I picked up vegan Moon Cake! Very hard to find!
There are also specialty grocery type items.
The staff is super nice and gracious.
Pros: Lots of choices, Perfect flavours and texturs, Simple yet great baked goods
Cons: Oshawa is too far from Toronto! :D

Lots of variety; delicious food! - Edit
On top of their menu items, they also have daily specials that rotate on their hot table. They also have baked goods, frozen meals and grocery items you can purchase.
Read moreMy fiancé and I ordered the 3 Item Daily Special and got the Chick’n Shawarma, BBQ UnPork and Cheezy Potatoes for $15 (including tax and tip). We brought it home and used our own rice. This was more than enough to satisfy us both!
Everything was delicious, flavourful, and more than we could have imagined! Definitely will be back to try more daily special items!!
Pros: Fully plant-based, Lots of variety, Friendly staff

Good overall place - Edit
Fresh prepared meal was delicious I had the curry chicken with rice. The 2 choice combo came with 1 choice and rice ? Should be called 1 meal option.
Read moreThe freezer food meals like perogi was $16!!
The main meal was great.
The chess’s spinach puff pastry had a sour taste to it. But it was fluffy , if not for that foul taste I am sure it would be delicious.
Pros: Good food overall
Cons: Price point is off
