Excellent food with flavorful and a good variety of dishes. Highly recommend to vegans out there and also to non-vegans.

Come to Toronto!❤️

Pros: Gnocchi sauce and other dishes were amazing , Great service, Well priced

Cons: Closes early , Too far for us ☹️. We live in Toronto, Should make your own sausages.

If this doesn’t make you want to be vegan I don’t know what would!!

Shine plant based restaurant in Orillia has been my favourite find since moving north of the city. Located in Orillia, this all vegan restaurant has sooo many unbelievable dishes. The things they do with sweet potato is drool worthy…dumplings, grilled cheese. (See photos included here) Ordered both of these last week and it’s all I have been thinking of. Their mushroom sandwich is off the charts when it comes to flavours. So many other great menu items. Have not yet tried one I didn’t like.

They also offer ready to eat from their refrigerator…delicious wood fired pizzas, one of the best vegan Caesar salad dressings, tzaziki, frozen dishes like mushroom risotto, chili, and more.

I love that I can order online or by phone and specify my pick up time so it’s hot and ready for when I arrive to pick up.

Located on a great Orillia street with some cute shops. I drive an hour to get here without even thinking about it. If you have not tried this place, get in your car now! It will not disappoint!!!

Enjoyable vegan patio meal with friendly service.

Even though we arrived 20 min before close, we were able to sit and order (twice) and enjoy our meal. The time was spent eating and socializing with friends in a spacious and nicely
decorated cafe.

Real vegan food

We visited Shine on a cold and snowy day and the place itself was very warm and inviting. The menu has some great options and it was not easy to choose, but we decided on the pierogi grilled cheese, gnocchi, and cauliflower wrap. Everything, including the sides, were so delicious it’s impossible to choose a favourite. The coffee was also very good! It’s obvious there was a lot of thought and passion put into the menu and the quality of the food. I would definitely go out of my way to visit here again. 5/5

Pros: Great menu options , Fresh and delicious food , Nice atmosphere

Cons: No complaints

Menu not very creative

A good option for if you are coming through Orillia! Their dine in menu consisted of a lot of comfort items that you could get at home (gardein fish sticks for their tacos) but my absolute favorite was the takeaway mushroom and truffle pizza. It was TO DIE for!

Cons: Expensive

Tasty bowls and sandwiches!

We tried their bowls and sandwiches and they all tasted pretty good! Portobello Steak sandwich was our favorite. Asian dumpling noodle bowl was a bit salty though. They also have a number of in-house prepared stuff for sale. Great service!

Excellent food

Shine is an excellent choice for smoothies and plant based meals in Orillia. They have lots of menu options to satisfy all your cravings and dietary needs. Their menu changes seasonally and they use fresh, local ingredients. The caesar salad is amazing, and is a crowd pleaser for sure! Definitely a great place to get a healthy bite to eat in Orillia.

Pros: Flavourful plant based options, Lots of gluten free options, Freshly made and prepared with local ingredients

Best vegan in Orillia

Tried this place for lunch and it is great. Best vegan food we had in Orillia, similar to Fresh in Toronto. Everything is fresh and homemade, and really TASTY. I had the pulled "pork" sandwich with a tuscan bean soup (very salty, but otherwise good). My husband had a side salad (this was amazing) and a burger. Their sauces and condiments are delicious. I would go here for every meal and be satisfied, lots of options on the menu.

Pros: Excellent vegan options, Good price, Nice ambience

Cons: Some dishes a bit too salty

Best vegan restaurant for miles!

Perfectly designed and esthetically pleasing, friendly staff, amazing quality food. Price point suits what you get. Everything is vegan and gluten free.

I'd recommend the caesar salad for first timers or new vegans. It is MINDBLOWING. Coconut bacon and almond parm, mixed with their amazing garlicky caesar dressing that they also sell in tubs for $10. The cauliflower curry bowl or the new build your own beyond meat burger are amazing choices too. I believe the build your own BMB is $14.50 ish(?) And comes with a side of your choice. I usually go with caesar salad or kettle chips and creamy chipotle dip.

Their bbq jackfruit pulled pork has a taste in it that is a bit pronounced for my liking personally, but the texture is spot on!

The wait staff, particularly the Aussie guy, are awesome and extremely friendly. If you have any other dietary restrictions, they are happy to whip you up something to cater to that need. All around 10/10!

Pros: Everything!

Cons: Portions on a couple of menu items are a bit small

Outstanding Restaurant

Shine offers Orillia's best tasting food. After multiple visits, we have tried most of the menu items. Each one is presented beautifully and is full of flavour. The starters, mains, soups and salads are uniformly excellent. A good variety of options and specials as well as wines and craft beers make it possible to have either a casual or "event" meal. The service ice is friendly, qui k and competent. Try this wonderful fully vegan restaurant every chance you get.

Shine On!!

While visiting Orillia today we stopped here for lunch, and came back for dinner! Everything was so fresh and delicious! Love their wide variety of take home foods too! Highly recommend.
As an appetizer you must try their perogies, absolutely mouth watering.

Mid-winter dinner

On a very cold evening, I really enjoyed my Asian noodle bowl and smoothie. I was happy to find Shine open on a mid-week evening.

Pros: Yum!, fresh juices and smoothies, interesting menu

Cons: juices and smoothies are somewhat expensive
