Mandy’s

Went after a long workout. First of all, decor looks like a cake or dessert shop. Staff are very friendly. A good variety of salads including both vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, or meat salad options. I had the peanut satay salad: Fresh bowl of vegetables with a crunch of peanuts and tortilla chips. The mint made the salad more refreshing than most other salads ...very tasty. Happy to report the salad has more than 4 vegetables, unlike other places. Price range is $12-$19. The menu also has smoothies and bowls...for sure will try next time. Finally a nice place to get salad in Toronto. Only criticism is, my food mate had to wait 20 min to get her Tokyo salad, perhaps it was the tofu? Seating is for 2-4 people per table. Also sells other types of chips and healthier drink options for a quick snack. Overall: Nicely decorated shop with a range of tasty salads.

I visited Mandy's and got the Lumberjack salad and switched out the Mozzarella for Feta.the salad was good and was a HUGE portion. I didn't think I could get full off of the salad but I finished the whole thing and my stomach was about to burst. The lumberjack had a lot of meat and switching the cheese to feta made it a heavy meal, but still good. The lettuce in the salad was all Romain which I appreciated. High quality ingredients. My only complaint is that I think the salads should be a bit smaller and cost less. But, it's all part of the experience. Not a place to go to everyday/night for food but definitely an experience. The atmosphere was pretty nice as well and they had an outside patio which is nice. They also bring water to your table if you dine in as well.

One of the best places for salad bowls in the city. My friends and I were aching to try some of the restaurants on ossington and we were so lucky to stumble on Mandy’s. There was a lot of hype on social media regarding this restaurant and I was really excited to try this place. It is in a quaint location on ossington with a nice patio for both large and small groups. The inside was astonishingly designed. It’s a great place to come with friends or if you want to get work done as well. There was a little bit of a lineup but it was so worth it. They have a system in place where once you order, they give you a number and they come to your table to serve you regardless if you are in the patio or inside. We got the Cesar salad and the vegetable protein bowl along side an açai berry smoothie. The service was really fast and all the staff there were really helpful and kind. The Cesar salad had a lovely taste to it and the salad was so fresh that each bite contained some crunch with their pita chips. The vegetable protein bowl was delicious and I highly recommend it. The quinoa mixed with the avocado and the kale made the mix taste superb. The dressing elevated the taste of the bowl to the next level. The bowls were gigantic and made us feel really full after the meal but not to the point where we felt heavy. To add to the mix, the açai berry was blended really well and it was definitely worth the buy. I loved this restaurant and I would definitely come back to try the other items on the menu. Besides the salad, they also have other little drinks, snacks, chocolate, fresh baked desserts. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone as I believe it is worth trying.

I just had Mandy's hippie bowl and I'm already craving for it. This restaurant is such a gem; it has this gorgeous LA-meets -pastel-floral aesthetic with healthy green smoothie vibes and I'm all here for it. I will 100% go again as I'm pretty sure I just found my new obsession for salad bowls!

Big salad, pricey, ok servers. Came for dinner and had a salad surprise surprise. For $16 to $18 I can make better salads at home. Found it very hard to make a decision because there are just a lists of ingredients rather than pictures which would be much more informative. Salad was nothing special just large portions of greens at a high price. Next time I would get the protein bowl for $12. Servers didn’t refill water as needed.

Today I checked out Mandy's @mandysalads. At first I was a bit disappointed that they had only a few vegan options but the decor and vibe was very inviting so I decided to try one. I got the Tokyo Salad and OMFG it was probably the best salad I've ever had! I couldn't wrap my head around how they could make tofu taste so amazing! Vegetarian options: they had a few vegan options

We actually went for dine in but the wait was for more than 30mins so thought to do take out and eat at home. I like the peanut satay salad and the sesame citrus dressing however we didn't actually like the habibi salad, the quinoa felt like flavour less may be because we don't eat quinoa that often. But Overall a good place should try when you are in downtown and want to eat healthy.

Tonight I was craving salads and after googling for 15mins came across this cute aesthetic place. The place is really really beautiful! Luckily we got a table and get to dine in. I got The Fave’s Salad and my bf got lumberjack. He doesn’t eat bacon so the guy said you can substitute it with another source of protein and he requested for shredded chicken. The portion of salads are big and I really enjoyed mine, my bf’s salad wasn’t as flavourful as mine but that’s how he likes it. I might come back for more salads next time! Our total for two salads was $40, a little pricy for only salads but can’t complain I enjoyed mine!

Finally had to check out what the hype was all about and I am glad I did! We went on a Saturday at 11am right when they opened and there was no line thankfully. We ordered the hoisin duck salad and salmon salad which is the seasonal special. We also had the bone broth and a chocolate chip cookie. Hoisin duck salad, excellent flavour overall. The salmon salad was great also, I asked for lightly dressed and it was almost no dressing which I don't mind. Just keep that in mind, they dress salads lighter than a typical restaurant In a good way, even if you order a salad as is, it will be dressed properly and not drenched like some places do! The salmon was in large bite size chunks and had a mild sweetness to it which we liked. The bone broth is excellent. The cookie just was okay, had maybe too much vanilla or not enough salt Massive salad portions, felt impossible to finish and I took the rest home for later : The staff is so friendly and the place was all pretty decorated for valentines. So glad I came and will be back. 2 recommendations - avoid peak hours to avoid lines and crowded dining experience - get the salad dressed as is, light dressing is too light Great food, will be back soon!

The salads are huge! The seasonal wild mushroom salad had a delicious truffle dressing and the cobb salad had a fun pita chip addition. I would have liked more avocado in the cobb and perhaps some blue cheese. Otherwise the salads were truly delicious. Kind of nuts that the total including drinks, and after adding protein, for 2 salads was nearly $70 though.
