Reviews of MATHILDA'S - Plant-based eating at its best (Restaurant)

Sarah Bandula

Stopped by to pick up some food for vegan guest arriving for the holidays. People were very friendly and helpful with suggestions. Food was beautifully presented and delicious!!

Scott Bryant

Food was delicious, tried a sample plate of all their specials for the day and couldnt help but order their teriyaki dish to take with us. Pricing is fair especially for this style of food

Wife just came back with take out, amazing food will be back very soon.

Wesley Cornbeef

Absolutely terrific. Health conscious and deliciously comforting and satisfying. The menu is truly creative, and they're consistently adding different specials consisting of amazing flavor and variety, which makes you excited to go and see what's available outside of your favorite menu go-to's. Having been plant based myself for close to a decade, generally speaking I was forced to go to Toronto for an entirely plant based menu where I didn't need to make any concessions or worry about chefs/servers making mistakes or not understanding/caring what your dietary restrictions may be. So, I couldn't be more thrilled to have a restaurant of this caliber in my home town. In my opinion they're a picture perfect example of what a small business should be - how hard they work, how well they care for their customers, the superb quality of their craft, the well rounded knowledge they possess of food and nutrition they are willing to share and discuss, and the very competitive price point they offer.

Jean-Paul Hernandez

Great food, staff so friendly, restaurant is clean and cozy. Yesterday, My wife and I had the spanakopita, spicy unbeef with purple rice, with the banana cream pie...amazing meal. We also took home the Mac and Cheese for the kids, they loved it. Thanks for making valentine's day memorable Mathilda and staff.

Elly-Anne Perry

An absolute gem in downtown Oshawa. The food is amazing, so much is offered. Bought an assortment of takeout dishes for a work lunch and everyone loved it. The restaurant itself is beautiful.

Joshua Ferretto

One of the best vegan places in Oshawa. Great food would go every day if I could! Owners are fantastic!!

Matt Olsen

Highly Recommend! Best Vegan food in Durham!

Anastasiya Stackaruk

Most delicious vegan food I have ever had outside home cooking. You don't even know you eat vegan and it's so tasty. Ladies working there are very nice and helpful. I definitely come back when in Oshawa again.

Erin

Ordered for our school's bookclub. We ordered 13 platters. Everyone was loving the food! The stafff were super friendly and easy to deal with. The portions are generous and the flavours are amazing. Highly recommend.

The food is amazing and the staff are so nice!

Eva Deeb

Delicious food and wonderful staff. I also like that they sell items that are hard to find.

Greg D'Cruz

One of the best Vegan food so far!!! The Vegan Shawarma is a must! Very friendly and welcoming people, and a sparkling clean place! Can't wait until I go back.

Alexander Catibog

The best vegan food I have ever bad, hands down! Honestly you WILL become addicted and crave it a lot! Plus, I bet you won't find a more inviting group of staff to welcome you into their space and serve you with as much love as they do! ♡

Andrae McRae

First time trying this place + the first time trying an all plant based meal(rice & two items), other than the beyond burgers and all at A&W, etc.. absolutely loved it the portions are great a little more would be better. Can't wait to go back and try something different.

Pasha Breitman

I love Mathildas every time I go! They serve many different options with a lot more seating in their new location. I can't wait until the next time I go back. I have missed pizza snacks so much and am so glad Mathilda and Jon make these little guys! So satisfying. Their purple rice is so nice and moist, and their hot sauce is SO yummy!!

Tanya Schade-Regan

loved it, have been waiting to visit for a while an definetly worth the wait

nunu styles

I've been eating plant-based for 9 months since taking Mathilda's vegan challenge! Their food is absolutely amazing. All of my friends and family that have tried it are astonished at how flavorful and delicious it is. Everyone will enjoy this restaurant, no matter your dietary preferences. However, note that not all of the food is gluten-free and many items are made with nuts.

Blxssom Bear

Its not just outstanding vegan, its just outstanding. I had Banh mi sandwich and was just as tasty as any good banh mi. I also ordered the full sampler platter. Without question everything was the excellently prepared. I will make this a ritual now. Thank you Mathilda’s.

Genevieve and Ava

The food is great; Mathilda is very friendly and kind. Love this place ????????

ZALIA CONDE

Great place to find vegan/vegetarian options, you would never know it wasn't meat, the flavors and textures are spot on. I would highly recommend this place to any one, and they have many dessert option witch look great.

Yves Seguin

Amazing vegan ready made foods!!

Erin Patterson

Today was my first time and it won't be my last. It was love at first bite. I never knew vegan food could be so versatile. I highly recommend trying Mathilda's.

Veronica Annis

I grew up on Indonesian food. As an adult it is hard to find, when mathildas opened it was nostalgic in all the best ways; their food brought me back to a more simplistic time in my life and made me feel like a little kid again. I cant reccomend this place enough. Each person that works there is so kind and passionate about veganism, the store itself is well decorated and very clean. You have the option of hot food but also frozen meals for later, and as a lazy vegan I appreciate this greatly. Overall mathildas has become my favourite place to get food and I hope to make it back soon!

Lisa Stella

My absolute favorite place to go for a quick bite. I've only had positive experiences here. The food is amazing and the people even better.

Magdalena “Mags” Stoeva

Super friendly staff great food

Abigail Tennisco

Absolutely delicious food and tons of variety in dishes.

Catherine B

absolutely AMAZING. This is the first vegan place I've been to that doesn't just offer salad lol. They have so many options and everything tastes wonderful. Vegan or not, go check it out ASAP!!

Melanie Munger

Best. Restaurant. Ever. They also cater for reasonable prices, and they have the most amazing food that will appeal to even the most avid meat eater (coming from an (ex) meat eater). Every employee there is just as amazing. You can also buy food items there such as jackfruit, nutritional yeast, and frozen soups and desserts. John and Mathilda are extremely likeable, down to earth people, I have never met anyone like them. I strongly, STRONGLY recommend.

Maru J

Tried takeout here for the first time; had the chickpea curry, Asian salad, and a cinnamon bun. All of the food was incredible and balanced, and the cinnamon buns were outrageously good. When you go in, you’re greeted really warmly and those behind the counter and incredibly friendly. I will come back here again and again.

Anna Izdebski

This place lives up to all the hype (google reviews), we had the sampler platter, the Mac and cheese, and the banh mi sandwich. The clear winner was the banh mi, but everything tasted fresh and flavourful. The sampler platter comes with a little bit of everything from their hot food selections of the day - we had BBQ pork/beef, chicken shawarma, 2 types of curries, all on top of purple rice. We also got the chocolate donut and almond shortbread as our dessert options which exceeded our expectations. The banh mi is a must though...hope to be back soon! Also the service was impeccable and the attitude of the staff was really rare and special ????

Nathalie Boucher

There's no finer group of folks in the dining business. The excellent vegan cuisine is Asian inspired yet wonderfully adapted to North American tastes. Prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend giving Mathilda's a try.

Christian Wright

First time trying Mathilda's today. I ordered the Banh Mi on Sourdough and it was so delicious. Flavors were fantastic, the sourdough bread was so soft, the whole sandwich was perfect ! I can't wait to try some of the other items on the menu! Yum yum yum ..Hubby likes the sausageless rolls too, thanks Matildha for giving me a happy full belly tonight ????

Ashley Smith

Great food, friendly staff.

Linda Ross

BEST vegan place! No other vegan restaurants offer dishes like Mathilda's! Definitely my favourite spot in Durham and always my go-to. LOVE the butter chic'n and pulled jack sub!

Daniela Maria

Mathildas is more than just amazing food, it is a positive life changing experience. Whether you just walk away with a healthy meal that tastes amazing, or you're one of many who have had a kind, emotional exchange with some the most amazing people I have ever had the privilege of meeting, your life will forever be better off for opening those doors and walking into a genuine, caring, home cooked meal for your health, for your heart, for your soul...???? I am forever in all your debts for changing my life for the better. Your life loyal customer, Adam

Jonathan Nicholson

This is actually the best restaurant I've ever been to... like wow. I've only been twice and I'll just say if I lived in Oshawa I would be there every single day and blowing all my money there. Their mac n 'cheese' is probably my favorite food in the entire world, and their 'chicken' and other meat alternatives are PHENOMENAL. Not only that but the staff are so incredibly welcoming and kind, I felt like I was with friends just being in the store, they put such a huge smile on my face! Seriously wish i could give them more than just 5 stars!!

Andrew Heard

Best vegan food in town. Great location and layout. Good way to beat the winter and eat something good for you... love it

Steven Labadie

Amazing food, even more amazing owners! If I ever win the lottery I would eat at Mathilda’s for all my meals (and probably be healthier because of it) :)

Reshma G

The perfect stop for amazing vegan meals. Mathilda’s never disappoints. Thank you ❤️

Roslyn Kufuor

Take out

Christian Jaehn-Kreibaum

I have recently gone mainly plant based due to a serious health diagnosis and Mathildas came highly recommended by my sister. The freshness, variety, quality and flavour was beyond my expectations. They set the bar very high and the staff is very knowledgeable and so kind. Mathilda truly cares about what she cooks and the health and wellbeing of her customers !

Christine Weatherly

This restaurant is spectacular. This place has what (vegan) dreams are made of. There are SO. MANY. OPTIONS!!! Soups, salads, sammys, Asian dishes, American dishes, vegan and gluten free staple meals, like so much. The kind woman working today helped me pick out a dish and she was so helpful! My fav so far is the red curry, but the seitan in the bahn mi is literally to die for. You want to eat it until you explode, and even then you would want more. Love that it’s not all totally soy based. They also have like a take home section with their refrigerated dishes, desserts, juices, cheeze, nutritional yeast.. the list goes on. Just try it, you’ll love it!!

Natasha Carter

Small portion sizes, but good food

Arthur White

The Platter combo was very yummy! Very friendly staff, great place!! Great experience!!

Darrel Dickson

Many of the Spark Centre staff love Mathilda’s so we ordered for our staff holiday event and everyone loved their dishes, meat-lovers and all. Mathilda’s is plant-based perfection and I can’t recommend it enough. Thank you!

Codie Williamson

Best food in Oshawa and Durham. Their food is very flavourfu and healthy. They got plenty of options, great portions, and reasonable prices. They have amazing friendly staff and owner is very hands-on in serving and helping customers out. A must visit place that you'll definitely get hooked on. GO AND VISIT THEM NOW before their food runs out!!!!????????????

Kunsten Technologies

Wow! This store / restaurant is amazing. And, almost unbelievably, completely vegan. The first impression walking through the door is fantastic. The establiment itself is well decorated and well laid out. To the left, they have in incredible variety of difficult-to-find vegan goods such as canned jackfruit, noodles (vegan tortalini?!), jerky, marshmallows, and cheese curds. They also have a good selection of baked goods at the counter to the right that look absolutely delicious. Next to that are prepackaged (cold?) meals for takeaway and, beyond that, they have hot food to purchase for takeaway. I got the platter which included rice, yellow curry, seitan pulled pork, veggie chicken shwarma, and some sort of potato and veggie mix. I have a big appetite and managed to eat this over the course or two meals. And all for the low, low cost of $15. I was amazed. Methilda's blows most other vegan places clear out of the water with the value of each meal. I have only been there once but, believe me, I look forward to going again.

Vanessa Janes

Mathilda's by far has the best vegan food in downtown Oshawa!!! Youbwon't evwn know it's vegan because its soo good????. The owner is so amazing and the ambiance of the store is just very homey. It's not only a great place to get your healthy tasty fix but a safe haven because the people are so nice and friendly.

Fred van der Vliet

Amazing food and service. I can never tell it's actually vegan food, everything is made so expertly right down to the texture of the "meat"

peace.of.healing

You don’t have to be Vegan to enjoy this delicious food! My parents are I were searching around for restaurants in Oshawa one day just to see what was new. We came across this restaurant and the pics of the food looked amazing. The food tasted even better than the pictures! For me the star of the show was the Buffalo Chicken sandwich. The Buffalo sauce was homemade and the freshness and texture of the ingredients was just right! Portions were good and the prices were reasonable. I will definitely order again! Thank you for existing in Oshawa. We need more restaurants like this here!

itsallhers

Oh my. I can't say enough great things about this place. The food, atmosphere and people all give off a great vibe. I love coming here.

Sajid Malgi

OMG what didnt we try!? Went on Xmas eve to get food for the weekend and we weren't disappointed! Hot items everything was a hit except I think the Curry chickpeas could have been better but was still pretty good. Thai noodles were a miss for me but my boyfriend enjoyed it Mac n cheese was a nice surprise. Usually disappointed by vegan Mac n cheese but this was pretty good! Pizza rolls and spinach n cheese pastry were both great. Charcuterie box was definitely worth the money the amounts of cheeses in there! Amazing! Everything lasted 2 of us the entire weekend for lunch and dinners. Money well spent, can't wait to visit again!

S A

Hands down, best vegan food I’ve ever had

Lee Ann Lapierre

I've been wanting to try this place out for a while, and a few weeks ago i had the opportunity. It did not disappoint, the food was delicious and the service was very friendly. I had the pulled jackfruit sandwich and my husband had the Mie Goreng, both were fantastic. Will definitely be back.

Diane Marven

Mathilda’s has been amazing every time my wife and I order from there. Today we tried the pizza rolls (among other things) for the first time and I wish we had 20 more! It’s one of those things where you want to promote them to keep them going because they’re so good but you don’t want to promote it in case they sell out and you can’t get them, lol. Thank you for a great experience as always.

DHAVAL SHAH

This is literally the best vegan restaurant. Chickpea Curry is phenomenal, the faux beef strips, on a bed of wild rice. Get the sampler platter to try it all and you'll be driving over there from 3 townships over on the regular.

Bianca Bold

Can't say enough good things about Mathildas! I have yet to try something I wouldn't have again and again! Good quality ingredients, packed with flavor and that applies from the hot table all the way to the dessert counter!

Tina Morcos

At Mathilda's you will be greeted with a smile , staff is amazing and super friendly. I haven't really been exposed to vegan food before nor had much interest as I love meat, but I have to say it was a SUPER pleasant surprise and I also think has to do with the owners and how much love they put into it. Not only the food was GREAT the restaurant itself is SUPER clean ( especially washrooms). It is modern and very inviting. I am super glad I tried vegan food but I think Mathilda's is even better with its added features. "AMAZING" I definitely would recommend them. Thank you for a GREAT experience !!!!!

Ashley Patino

My daughters and I travel from Scarborough to Oshawa once a week to visit Mathilda’s. We are always greeted with a friendly welcome from staff. My daughters can’t get enough of Mathilda’s Mac and cheese and pizza rolls. I have enjoyed everything I have ordered, but it was the banh mi that got me hooked. Great little grocery selection of tricky to find vegan goods. I also love their selection of treats from local bakers - the oat fudge bar is a spot on (vegan) replica of Sbux’s.

Meagan Peters-Sebele

Holy smokes does this place taste great! Their "meats" actually taste like actual meat and have an amazing texture. Great staff which is a nice plus!

Xuan Mai PHAM

Fantastic food and great staff! Highly recommended for anyone who isn't vegan but wants to try it out. You won't be disappointed!

Carolyn Gollop

Food is delicious and staff always friendly and attentive!

Christine Moore

Plant based Meals. Such a nice place & the food is really good. Had the Sample Platter. Chocolate Cupcake for Dessert that was decadent. Dec 24th went to Mathilda's for the second time. This Has to be the best Vegan Restaurant in Ontario. I've Reviewed Restaurants from Prime Edward Island Right Across to Vancouver B.C, & Mathilda's Is Definitely Top Three. If Your In Ontario Its Worth The Drive.

Patricia Revita

This is my new favourite restaurant, I am not vegan or even vegetarian. I dare you to try any of the food and tell me it's not meat ????

babys basement

Great staff & tasty food! So much variety.

Jason Dolman

Plant-based menu so worry-free vegan dining. They also have a small grocery section to pick up vegan items. They always support other small, local businesses and often provide a space for these businesses to showcase their products as well. Always a positive and friendly atmosphere anytime I have walked into this establishment.

Savannah Greene

Love this food! Can’t get enough. There’s always something new to try ????

Ashley at Elemental Growth

Great food. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. I love this place.

Michelle J

Amazing food, much better than I expected. The Banh Mi was fantastic, the Caesar wrap was great, and the sample platter of various mock meats was delicious. Highly recommended.

Nicole Diachenko

Mathilda and her whole team are absolutely amazing, so kind and friendly! The food is so good and the options are endless, you’ll want to try everything! The atmosphere when you walk through the doors is so welcoming, it’s a great experience every time. Highly recommend going, you won’t regret it!

Mrz. Daashhh

My fiance decided to ask Mathilda's for some catered food for my birthday, after I went there for the first time and was raving about it to her, afterwards. The food was a hit! My omnivorous family members enjoyed every bit of it and all had seconds. There was some left-overs because we over-ordered but the food was still delicious on the second and third day. The owner also baked me a fantastic chocolate cake! I'm really impressed with the food, the service, and pleasantries. Mathilda's is now on my list of places to go for lunch, even though I don't work in Oshawa! Great job and thank you for a great birthday (and post-birthday) meal!

Laura Lee

Staff is kind and patient. Food is amazing!

Irania Ledesma

Great place to grab a bite in Oshawa. They have delicious authentic Bahn mi; perfect for those who've travelled to Vietnam and want a trip down memory lane. Delicious buffalo Ceasar wraps and more. Super affordable. Definitely more of a take-out restaurant as seating is limited, but worth going. A definite must for vegans

Chelsea Frattura

I had the pleasure of eating Mathildas Plant Based food when home to Oshawa for visit from Vancouver, I have been Vegan for 7yrs now and Mathildas is probably one of the Best Vegan Restaurants I have ever eaten from. My very good friend's Caroline and Jim speak highly of the flavourful, colourful and healthy food combinations, all Vegan, they make Mathildas a constant, weekly.????????❤

Jenn A

Reasonably priced, friendly staff, something for everyone. My friends that eat meat really enjoyed the food and would come back again!

Mike Burns

Delicious food. Great service. Lovely owners.

Chelsey Cunningham

I absolutely LOVE every single food I've tried from Mathilda's. Everything is so flavourful and fresh, and the staff are amazing! I can't get enough of it :)

Amanda Paul

I've been going to Fernando's since it was taken over by the Mother and son who now own and run it. Good coffee. Great breakfast, served with an orange slice. Get there before 11:00AM if you want poached eggs or the cheaper breakfast price. For lunch you can get a great fresh salad instead of fries if you ask for it.

Bonnie Whitney

Amazing vegan food! So flavourful and so many options. Highly recommend.

Melanie Gibb

The best plant-based restaurant around! So yummy!

Noah Mroueh

I had an incredibly tasty lunch with a friend here! It was a quiet and comfortable atmosphere. We were greeted warmly and offered samples as we were trying to make choices. We loved all the samples and were thrilled that they had a sampler plate. I love my meat and would have never guessed it was meatless. And the desserts are so yummy. I will definitely be back. They also have great take aways that you can take home too. Everything is made in house and it really shows up in the flavours!!

JamesClay16

Mathilda's - Delicious healthy food made and served from the friendliest staff. A hidden gem that shines. Micheline Deacon

brad mcdonald

Food here is sooooo good and unlike anything else around here. Staff are very courteous. Prices very reasonable.

Tristan Bettencourt

Mathildas is an absolute gem! This is the food my soul has been searching for.

Stephanie Atwood

Awesome place with awesome energy that offers awesome food. I go every Saturday to stock up for the week. If you find the thought of eating vegan or plant-based daunting, please try Mathilda's... Everything is made from scratch... The shawarma... tahini... turmeric lemongrass rice.. the wraps... the soups... the desserts --- all of it, delicious!!! Happy three year Anniversary Mathilda's!!! To many more delicious years!

Michael Byrne

A Greater Toronto Area gem! Excellent food served up by two amazing owners and their friendly team. Mathilda's makes vegan eating easy and will not disappoint people trying vegan for the first time! Heck, it may even convert them ;)

A W

Incredible plant-based food options with amazing owners! Can't wait to see this place grow & expand! Keep up the great work - we will be back!

Mary Farrell

Incredible food and staff. Forever customer.

Stephanie White

Just tried for the first time. Wow. I'm not vegetarian by any stretch and that was delicious. I had a sample platter which had a bunch of things. The pulled chicken (actually mushroom) is still baffling me how it wasnt chicken. Also Ive always hated mushroom but it tasted nothing like them with none of the mushroom texture. I'm floored right now!

Kristy

The banh mi sandwich is SO good! Maybe skip on the Mac and cheeze, but definitely don’t miss out on trying the Banh mi.

Nicole Quick

I've been to Mathilda's a handful of times now since coming across it last fall, and each visit has been great. There's always a ton of variety on the menu, the staff are friendly, and there's the option to pick up unique vegan products you can prep at home too. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu but the ban mi sandwich, the jalapeno bacun cheddar buns, and the Bali unbeef have been my favourite dishes so far. And their desserts are amazing too! Keep an eye on their Instagram account for the daily specials.

Brandon Spencer

So grateful for such a diverse collection of healthy vegan gluten free food! Absolutely love coming here! Power bowls, smoothies, desserts, perogies and hot delicious food! Thank you!

Aimee Liu

I went three days in a row, the first time was too good, the second and 3rd showed me this is for sure my new fav spot. Very friendly crew too

Marie Ryan

Great vegan food. This place is like a new age restaurant/market you can order take out or dine in plus a multitude of pre made fresh and frozen entrees. A must try!

Jessica Woodcock

Just stopped by on the way to a beach to pick up Hot Sampler with Rice. It was good with varied items. Staff were friendly and nice collection of vegan items in store.. Definitely will come again for buying vegan stuff..

Kate Jaehn-Kreibaum

Happy birthday!!! I would starve if it wasn’t for Mathilda’s. The food is sooo delicious. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t recommend. It’s all so good. And the staff. The staff are AA+. Everyone treats you like family and helps anyway they can. Amazing all around.

sandra Dee

Friendly staff and yummy variety of plant based foods.

Elise Christiane

I tried a variety of their baked goods and everything was amazing, the chick pea dish I had with rice, also amazing...but the turnovers...holy jeeeeze they were fanominal !!

Jeff Crawford

First time trying this spot. The place is clean and the staff is pretty friendly. I enjoyed the BBQ tofu, pulled jackfruit, soup and salad. The bahn mi was good but sauce was a tad sweet and I wasn't a huge fan of the chickpeas or purple rice...a bit bland. I will still return for the other items and to try other items.

Murissa barrington

I have been to Mathilda's about 7 times now, and tried many of the dishes. Every time, consistently excellent. I'm not vegan, but love tasty food - this is definitely that. I also love how you can buy frozen meals from their freezer - great for when you forget to grocery shop. Their desserts/muffins are also great.

Meghan Irrazabal

I drive to Oshawa from Toronto just to come to Mathilda’s. I’m not even vegan, their food is just THAT GOOD. The restaurant is clean and the staff are super friendly and helpful. If I could give it more than 5 starts I would! I love this place.

C W

You will get the best food in all of Durham region here and it’s all plant-based. They are the kindest, friendliest people and you will always leave with a huge smile on your face and a massive bag of food! They offer amazing vegan comfort food from all different cultures. The chick’n shawarma, the banh mi, curries, Mac and cheese, buffalo chicken...EVERYTHING is soooo good. They’re very diligent regarding sanitization and social distancing, so rest assured you will be safe when you enter, too!

Mike Wigmore

We tried Mathilda’s for the first time last week and was blown away! We couldn’t decide on what to get because it all looked delicious so we opted for the sample platter!(highly recommend as you get to taste a bit of everything) We’ve told everyone how amazing the food is and can’t wait to go back!!

Ethel Robison

As a vegetarian person living in Durham for over 30 years, I was desperate to find a place like this. I'm so glad I found you! I ate the sampler with rice and 5 items. It was amazing and each dish had a great flavour. The pork, beef, and chicken were so close to real meat that I felt guilty eating them at times! The vegetables were so fresh. Rice, chickpeas were very wholesome. I could go on and on! God bless your hands. We need people like you. I appreciate your service to Oshawa and the community.

Carmen Pearce

From the greeting at the front door, to the awesome aromas of vegan food, you will thoroughly enjoy your experience here. I've been vegan for roughly months. I've learned quickly that veganism is a way of life, not a diet. Thank you for providing great plant based options and warm smiles everytime I visit.

Jason Cameron

Even though the prices went up, it's still good.

anchana

Excellent vegan food, highly recommend ????

Harrison Holley

Great food and even better people. Always welcomed with smiles and always treated like family!

Jamal Warda

If you haven’t checked out Mathilda’s yet, GO ASAP!!! Absolutely phenomenal food, packed with flavour, great prices, warm & friendly service!!! Can’t believe I didn’t get my butt here sooner!!

Gary Tong

Never been, but i have heard many good things about this restaurant! ????????

Gillian Doe

I google-searched a plant-based diner before I was going to watch the documentary "The Game Changers" in nearby Pickering. Mathilda's is also a Game Changer. First I had the Vegan Curry and it tasted so delicious, so I ordered as a second course the "Mac & Cheeze. Wow, another tasty dish and to top it up I had the in-store made vanilla & chocolate ice-cream. Also fantastic. Mathilda, the owner, and Alice were very friendly and helpful choosing the dishes. It was insightful to listen to Mathilda how she came across plant-based eating and cooking. I will be back for sure.

Dan Isaiah

Good food, good people. They will greet you by name and serve you some of the best food in durham. Vegan or not it is worth a shot, you will not be dissapointed. Try the spinach turnovers (crack triangles)! Warning they are addictive.

Sarah Casey

First you taste the goodness with your eyes....the fork comes to your lips, the smell of spices and rich creamy cashews hits your nose like flowers in spring...a welcome heavenly scent. The first bite reveals crisp greens and chewy gorgeous seitan. The noodles are luscious and perfectly cooked. My senses take me to Indonesia. The pleasure is only surpassed by the fact that there is enough for 2 meals...yummmm. I can do this again. Mathildas is the perfect non guilty pleasure. Fresh food, warm hearts and they have a customer for life. ????????‍????????❤????????‍????????❤????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Eliza Lowes

My favourite plant based restaurant ever. Friendly service, clean, fabulous food.

Jen Chung

Outstanding food, staff and environment! Prices are very fair, which means I will be coming here every Wednesday between classes. Couldn't be happier! :)

Angela De Los Santos

I tried Mathilda’s Sampler Platter recently and not only was it the best vegan food I have eaten, it was some of the best food I have eaten in general. Delicious food and a very friendly environment. I will absolutely be eating here again!

Zoe Lu

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO TO MATHILDAS! Every member of the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They have delicious vegan options for every customer. If you don't follow Mathildas on Instagram, do that too. This is the key to finding out when Buffalo Cauliflower day is that month.

Linda Jones

Plant based food made with love at its finest. You can really taste it in every bite. Reason I keep on coming back again and again.

Josee Wright

My favourites: pizza rolls (my non vegan friends LOVE these), spinach and cheeze turnovers, chickpea curry, sticky rice wrap (ask for side of homemade hot sauce), teriyaki chic’n, chic’n shawarma. And if you’re looking for a treat- the shortbread cookies and PB&J brownies are delightful!

Heather Armstrong

I can't get past the sample platter. So many wonderful flavours. This is one of my favourite places to eat.

Kellie Doiron

I have been to Island Flavor Restaurant many times and will continue to go. The quality of the food is always great and the staff is friendly. The restaurant is tucked away in the far back of the plaza but once you see it it's hard to miss. I always get the Oxtail and it comes either with a choice of veggies

Chris Stamatopoulos

Amazing flavours and quality, you can feel the love through the food ☺️

Zoe Rogers

I am thrilled to have such an amazing vegan restaurant close to my home. The food is absolutely delicious and never needs seasoning to enhance the taste...it's always cooked to perfection. I stock up when ever i visit so I have lots on hand for the week. Hand's down this is the best place for adding plants to your diet.

eM Dee

This is my vegan go to place. My favourites are their vegan butter chic'n, shawarma, and sausage rolls. Sooo good!

Courtney Rose

Great vegan food and the nicest people

Ana M

Oh my gosh thank you, thank you for being open! Y'all are genuinely so great. The atmosphere and vibe in the restaurant is lovely and clean. Service is exceptional! Owners are so wonderful and genuine...but the food...SO GOOD!!! Can't wait to go back; worth the trip and every penny. You can tell they put a lot of love into every dish. Whether your vegan or not, Matilda's is a must try! It's gonna be my new staple for sure!!

Bridget F

Been twice and found the owners really kind and helpful. The atmosphere at their new place is lovely and the food is unreal.

I often find eating out as a vegan so hard until I found mathildas!!! Hands down the best vegan spot out there! I have recommended to so many of my friends non vegans as well who all say the same! The customer service is incredible, the place is cute and very clean! 10/10

Carla Pickard

Best vegan restaurant I've tried yet! The un"pork" is my favorite!

Kailee Somers

Matilda Thank you for helping make my New YEAR's eve amazing. Your food is always delicious time and time again. You and your staff are always helpful and welcoming. ????

Katie Zeppieri

This place is truly amazing. Everything about them is top notch - the food, the service and the prices. Trying to put words to the experience would not serve them justice at all. Just go in and experience it for yourself!

Jade Poisson

I've been eating at Mathildas for about 2:years now. I'm even more thrilled with the food now than I was before. Everything is delicious. They've added so many new menu items as well as to their plant based food staples section. The staff is so friendly and I always feel welcome. Since moving from the area, we make a 2 hour drive every week to stock up. My only complaint Is they won't open another location in Picton. During Covid everything is always so well organized and clean . It's always a pleasure

Matthew Fretz (Walkdown Sound)

This place is beautiful and both Mathilda and John are the nicest people. I am not a vegan or vegetarian and I still always enjoy the food and would never notice the difference. I recommend it to all my friends and family as a must try!!! :)

Shawn Ragell

The food here is absolutely amazing!

Jessi Hoey

So good. Best glugan (gluten free and Vegan) food. Friendly staff and the best tasting foods. Love this place.

Elyse Crawford

Do yourself a favor and eat here! It's a great place for vegans and omnivores alike. Everything I’ve had has been exceptional ???? definitely a place to visit for some quality food and great service. ❤️ They also carry some vegan supplies like chocolates, kimchi, cheese, soy curls, jackfruit etc. and I'd recommend following them on social media to see what daily specials they are offering ????

Lyra Allard

I don’t have a single bad thing to say about this place. Actually I do, I wish they were open 24 hours :P

Tommy Perrie

Just love Mathilda's and come to visit for the great healthy food and positive staff - we love this place!!!

This is such an amazing place to eat! They welcomed me when I walked in and gave a great run down of the wonderful food! The food is freaking outstanding ! I will be bringing all of my friends here! Thank you so much :)

Nivethika Thambithurai

I LOVE going to Mathilda’s. Between the staff, the food, and the environment, everything is so welcoming and delicious. The second you walk in through the doors, you are greeted with open arms and a warm smile. Also they have the best lasagna, shawarma, and all of the best vegan goodies. Definitely a must if you are in the Oshawa area ????.

PHEEBS

I went to visit the restaurant for the first time yesterday and tried their plant-based food. Let me tell you how impressed I was. Everything taste amazing!! I love the taste of your food and it makes me feel good after eating eat. I didn't feel too full, yet I was satisfied! Also, thank you for thinking about the environment by using paper bags and reusable takeout containers. I will definitely come back for more.... Frances

Erin Paul

Theawakeningself

Food was great Employees were really nice and helpfull . Definetly going back when im in oshowa

Michelle Peer

Since going fully plant based, it's been tricky to find a treat out that can accomodate our new diet and taste good. This place is literally my real life happy place! I can't wait to come back again and again and try everything on their menu. Also, service is superb. We had our Granna with us who has some difficulty walking and one of the employees came over and opened the door for us with a friendly smile .

Melanie Doiron

OBSESSED! love this place and the service. I have transitioned from vegetarian to plant-based and working towards a vegan lifestyle. This is my go to spot! Everyone is so friendly & happy plus they actually value your presence. So grateful for nourishing food. My body feels all the love put in the food. Thank you Mathilda!

Mohamad Kaakatti

Mathilda's is our family favorite place . Buffalowrap, chocolate muffin and turnover are our regular orders. Their customer service is good too. Best vegan restaurant in town and try it even if you're not vegan or vegetarian.

Heather Sim

First time here, won’t be my last!! Fabulous food

Rachel Adair

Yummy, delicious vegan dishes, feel like home made food. On top of that the owners are welcoming, nice and the best smiles ever. Good for your body and your soul ! worth visiting Oshawa! thank you :-)

Ian McMillan

I can't believe I didn't try this place sooner! Absolutely fantastic vegan food. Literally the whole time we were eating we were saying "oh...my... god". Were definitely going to be regulars now! The interior is also very pretty and the girls are so friendly. If you're looking for vegan or vegetarian restaurants in Durham this is the place to go.

Jocelyn Colwell-Jones

Wonderful place! The food is great, I've tried almost everything on the menu and liked everything. Vegan but even my meat-eating friends love it. Also, they make stuff without processed sugar or oils! ????????????

Kasey Wotten

I don’t even go grocery shopping anymore. I just go to Mathilda’s. She takes pre-orders and the daily selections are always great. She’s expanding her vegan grocery selection to take the inconvenience out of being vegan.

Michael Nigris

So grateful to have this amazing vegan food in Durham! Mathildas is always delicious for a healthy meal or tasty treat. Such a great vibe in there as well. Love it! #mathildas

Ade Lilley

Excellent service and quality food. So much flavour and spice. All the staff was exceptionally nice and helpful!! I was passing by from Montreal and will make it a point to come back whenever I am back in town!!

Kaitlyn Booth

Well this was an unexpected find. We were out in Oshawa around lunch time and wondered if we would be able to find any vegan food. Yes we did, and it was amazing! Started with a savoury turnover, followed by the hot plate sampler and topped it off with a chocolate, coconut square. Everything was delicious!!! Also the staff was super friendly. Highly recommend. Great value.

Chey Galea

Amazing food and staff! Keeps getting better each time i go

Colleen Castino

food quality is beyond expectation

Denis

Fantastic. Had the BBQ pulled jack sub. Made with Jackfruit instead of pulled pork. Tastes better than the original. Lots of plant-based options on the menu to choose from, daily specials and even cookies and treats. Even better than the food? The friendly, insightful staff who were happy to answer questions about the menu and food prep, offer recommendations and samples, and make you feel like you've been there a hundred times even if it's just the first.

Jay Ayinde

The non-GF lasagna is very good. I am generally not a fan of plant-based “cheese”, but the ricotta-like cheese in this lasagna was good, as was the rest of the saucy filling

Jackie Carpenter

First time in here and it's AMAZING!!! I'm trying to go vegan and this place makes it SO easy. Reasonable prices and food is super delicious. Mathilda and the staff are such nice earthy people. So glad I stopped to try it out I'll be back again and again!!

Al Ta

You dont have to be vegan to enjoy this food. I ate there today and couldn't decide what to get so I bought a sandwich for lunch and a platter of the fice daily options for dinner. I dont have a bad thing to say about this place. The owners were extremely friendly and patient with my indecisiveness as well!

mike albertini

I live in Downtown Toronto with a lots of vegan options, but still nothing compares to the gem that is Mathilda’s food. Their BBQ ‘Pork’ is quite literally the best dish you will ever eat. Can’t recommend this spot enough!

Lauren Angelo

Amazing food made by kind and friendly people! The food tastes and makes you feel good, and their desserts are the best.

Simone Grewal

I’ve been to many, many vegan restaurants. I am vegan but my husband is not and we both LOVED this place! This place is the best!! The food is absolutely delicious, the restaurant itself is clean and gorgeous and the staff are super friendly and helpful. We got a couple sample plates and desserts and everything was phenomenal. Will definitely be going back there on a regular basis.

Sandra K

The food is really really good but what deffinately makes this experience is Mathilda herself and the rest of her staff, super friendly and you feel like part of her family whenever you go in there. Ask for an oreo truffle.

LEANNA HAZELTON

Where to start about this place... AMAZING FOOD & SERVICE FROM THE ENTIRE STAFF AT MATHILDAS. Everyone at Mathilda's is warm & welcoming. We live in some crazy times, & this place is does not discriminate against anyone. Their food portions are generous & the flavors that Mathilda uses POP! You can tell she puts a lot of love into each dish because they're THAT GREAT! I order weekly from her & I don't see that stopping anytime soon. :) Thank you again for the amazing service & delicious food.

Samantha Seto

We tried Mathilda's for the first time yesterday, and it was so delicious!! The Sample Platter: Sweet and sour chic'n BBQ unpork Chickpea cauliflower coconut curry Chic'n shawarma Red Thai curry All on a bed of purple rice. We also got a spinach cheeze sundried tomato turnover, but it didn't make it to photo. Yum! We will definitely be going again! We want to try everything.

Lauren McEvoy

Not only is the food incredible, the staff are absolutely amazing!

Diana Shermet

Everyone is so kind and welcoming. And the food - omg the food - is DELICIOUS!

Jedi Master

Best vegan food in the GTA! Love this place so much, my favourite lunch spot. Only complaint is I saw two staff members wearing their face masks on their chin and they let a customer enter the store who wasn’t wearing a mask (maybe they had a medical condition but I think they should have made them wait outside). Just have to be careful about that.

Travis Mccrea

Best vegan food in Oshawa! Lots of variety and delicious desserts! Please do a rewards program!

Kayla Alexander

This is my favourite restaurant of all time! Everything is delicious and the staff are beyond friendly, I always get the feeling of being at home when I come in and the place has a fantastic atmosphere. They also have a great selection of vegan frozen/refrigerated products for purchase as well. It has become my go to and I'm always excited for my next trip to Mathilda's :)

Rebecca Toutant

Mathilda herself is inspiring and her food is delicious. I would eat there daily if I lived closer. Keep up the great work.

Francis

I love this place! Amazing vegan food at fair prices. I recommend the banh mi and the ceasar wrap. It is one of my preferred vegan places and I only wish the hours were a bit longer than 12-5, but given the pandemic I get it. Can’t wait to try their other selections!

scott carroll

I’m beyond happy that a vegan place exists in Oshawa, but more so that an incredibly delicious one exists! The food is made with so much love and care, the people are so amazing. I don’t see how anyone could ever have a bad experience here. Each day they celebrate a different culture’s cuisine, which is so cool. You’ve gotta check them out; even if you’re not vegan, you’ll love it.

Stephanie Cini

Delicious fast food with friendly service!

Jen R

My bf and I live in NYC, and Mathilda’s is a must-go whenever we visit family in Whitby. Banh-mi is my bf’s go-to, and I love almost all the desserts :) As a gluten-free vegan, I can’t thank Mathilda enough for offering these options!

Mandy Lewis

We were passing through town and stopped for lunch, and I'm so glad we did - it was absolutely delicious. We got the bahn mi, the buffalo wrap, the Mac n cheese, and the sample platter, and literally everything was incredible. The folks who work there are also super friendly and positive. I will definitely be stopping by again next time we're in the area!

Matt Charalambides

Very good only thing I wished vegetables were little more crunchy

Joshua Cousins

Such tasty amazing food. And awesome friendly owners! So glad I discovered this place, def one of my favs - also they do vegan meal prep, so convenient!!

Joe G

You cannot go wrong with any choice of food selection at Mathilda's. I first found this amazing place when on the hunt for vegan food in the Durham region. My whole family has been blown away by the deliciousness of the food, the incredible friendliness of the staff and the dedication to doing what they do! Wether you are vegan or not, you cannot miss out an trying the delicious offerings of Mathilda's! #mathildas.ca

adi adi

My favourite restaurant on the planet! Beyond friendly, make you feel like family and the food's second to none

Judit Sikora

best vegan food I have ever had. ????

Tatiana Sc

Absolutely delicious. Best plant based food I've eaten thus far!

Lina Spencer

Great place for vegan lunches, the Bahn Mi and the Toona salad are my personal favourites.

Danica Hubacheck

absolute FAVOURITE place to get lunch!!!!

DCP Pap

The best food. I'm not a vegetarian, but the food here is really great. It's healthy, and tasty. I'm not just saying it tastes good for vegetarian food, but it's just so good. I really feel lucky to have this place around.

Thurka Sach

I love this place! Staff is so friendly and helpful, the food is delicious and I love that there's a grocery section! It's hard to find great tasting vegan eats in Durham but this place does not disappoint. I'm not a vegan (but dairy free) and this is my go to place to find alternatives.

Ryan Reeson

Their food is absolutely amazing! I always leave with a smile. The staff are so kind, friendly, and welcoming. They even remember how I like my food orders with extra hot sauce! I can't get enough of their food! I wish I could eat it everyday! Overall, everything is excellent!!!

Judy Smith

I eat only plant based and most times it's really difficult to find a quality dining experience. Mathilda's definitely hits the spot. I have been to many plant based restaurants from the Durham region all the way down through to Niagara Falls..i mean many. Mathilda's is honestly the best for sure. The service is very family friendly and informative of what they have to eat whether on menu or the hidden gems. I really enjoyed the food experience here. It is extremely clean and well maintained. Truly a great atmosphere!! Going back for dinner today also. I have a feeling I will be eating here quit a bit.

Tanya Siva

Best food in town! Great owner's and the food is amazing!

Stephen Gregory

Such amazingly beautiful food. It tasted amazing, look amazing and could not be any better. For a plant based restaurant they really do blow you away with how delicious the food is. They have so many different options to try. I recommend the sample platter for newbies to this restaurant! Every time I get food here I always say to my partner "I can't believe this is plant based!". Mathilda really hits the nail on the head.

Samm Sheen

Looking for vegan food close to home landed me on Matilda's website I read her story on how she became vegan and lost her from my sight. Then one of my friend on IG did a post with food from Matilda's restaurant... that's how I found them on IG again and finally went in to try some food and OUH! If you eat her food you will not miss meat no more. Her food is sooo tasty even my kids who loves meat wanted to finish my vegan macncheese with BBQ Unpork meal????????. And Matilda and her staff are so friendly and warm! I felt like I was home. Whenever you have time or in Durham Ontario, go check them out.????

Monika Van Vliet

Disappointing food. I have really looked forward to experiencing this place. Disappointed. Went with a friend, both of us found it sort of ok. I definitely make better food at home...why bother going out and spending so much money.

Claire V

Mathilda’s “pork” stir fry with their special hot sauce is amazing! Will be back again!!

Maeve Lisle

The best customer service ever! And the food is delicious.

Colin Hitchon

Mathilda's has an incredible selection of plant based food and desserts. Everything is made from the best quality ingredients. The food is flavorful and crave-worthy. The mac and cheese will have you dreaming about it. They keep the menu exciting with daily specials. Be sure to check their Instagram for details on the specials! The only thing that trumps the food at Mathilda's is the staff. They are so warm, genuine, and dedicated to serving the BEST plant based food. They have been doing an exceptional job maintaining a safe environment during the pandemic. They have someone to open the door for you and the same person also provides you with hand sanitizer. Everything is cleaned and sanitized between customers. Well done!

pam keng

Absolutely amazing food and beyond friendly staff.

Katherine Kurys

Best Food EVER! Hands down. I can't stop coming here everyday, it's too delicious. The staff are awesome and friendly too! If you haven't been you're missing out!!

Torrey Betty

I have been eating Mathilda's amazing food for 9 1/2 months and have lost over 40 lbs! Blood sugar and pressure is much improved as well. This is the best "diet" I've ever been on. The food is delicious and I haven't felt the least bit deprived. I tell everyone I know/meet to go and try the food. No one has ever come back to me disappointed.

Jean Rose

Absolutely delicious! I've never been disappointed by their food. Plus the service is great, so friendly. Me and my hubby are addicted to Mathilda's!

Jessica Fitzpatrick

You can't say vegan food isn't delicious or fulfilling, especially until you've tried Mathilda's. Staff are friendly and eager to share the joy of their wonderful plant-based food. It's all so good and you won't believe it's all vegan - especially their "pork" or "steak" style entrees.

Auberon Cabaniss

Have been meaning to come here for some time now - wasn't disappointed. A little sad that I missed out on the Mac & Cheese ???? but was not disappointed with the selection of tasty treats available. Love that is vegan/plant-based/organic but you'll hardly notice the difference in taste. Can't wait to go back with my partner.

Brad Enigma

Absolutely love Mathilda's. Friday night treat is take away. Food is amazing and so delicious. Highly recommend you give it a try

ad terram

Excellent plant-based eating! Mathilda has a very large variety of dishes that she rotates through regularly. The menu slowly shifts from day to day. There is something here for every palette: some dishes are hot, others spicy, others sweet, others sour. The variety in the menu means that I can find at least one dish that I like on any given day (usually more than one dish). She goes light on the "fake meats" (beyond, impossible, etc) but she has many dishes with shiitake and soy curls for people who are looking for a meat-like texture with their dish. She also does specials on a regular basis. For instance; cauliflower buffalo "chicken" wings, and lasagna. My wife is not Vegan and she is Italian and she loves this one. My personal favourites? Buffalo "Chickun" wraps and the Cinnamon rolls. Also... Vegan Mac & Cheese. She offers this every day so if I decide I'm "not feeling" the menu items on a given day I can always fall back to Mac & Cheese. It's extremely close to the non-vegan variety you may be used to. Finally, she stocks many Vegan grocery items that can be hard to find at the national grocery chains I frequent: Vegan Cheese, sour creme, milks, egg substitute, miso to name just a few.

Julie Rhind

I'm still new to the vegan world and have a hard time eating out but not anymore. I got the sampler box and a few sweets and wow is all I have to say. It was so fresh and delicious even a few days later. I will definitely be back. The staff were so friendly and helpful and they had tons of variety to please any palate. Highly recommend.

Liv

Friendly staff. Food was amazing. Recommend you visit Mathilda's for a great plant based, vegan, meal.

Tara Mitchell

Great plant based food. Love the red Thai curry with chickpeas. Great for those with food intolerances, allergies or just trying to eat mindfully and healthy. The desserts look really yummy too!

Brianne Blackman

I would highly recommend Mathilda's not just because of the friendly staff, cleanliness of the restaurant but because the food is so fresh and delicious ????.

Frazer Richardson

Amazing food and portion size, great staff and lovely atmosphere! Will be returning ASAP!

K Peacock

Amazing food, great prices, great vibe!

Sri Chan

The food is amazing! My family eats meat & they also love their dishes. The staff is super friendly & always take time to chat with you. Worth the drive from Scarborough!!

Kathryn B

Service, environment, and food are excellent. Price is great

Kelly Chmilar

Mathilda's is my favourite place to go for lunch and vegan food items (such as soy curls, GF perogies, and vegan sour cream). All of the staff are incredibly friendly and the food is incredible!

Kyle Wilcocks

This place has amazing plant-based food. The food is absolutely delicious. If you haven't tried it, you must!

Samantha Farrugia

Absolutely amazing people working here, friendly and knowledgeable. Myself and my family have a restrictive diet, and Mathilda's had something for each of us, great taste, fresh, the best GF muffin I've ever had - will definitely be back and hope to see you expand to Bowmanville in the future.

Donna K

This place is nothing short of perfect The customer service, the food, the pastries and all desserts I come minimum 2 times a week and have never been disappointed Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant

Sarah Thompson

Plant based food at it's best! Now if we could only have an East York location ;)

Brad Maher

The food is incredible!! Even non vegans can enjoy it. I personally love the sample platter. Staff are all so friendly. Mathilda is lovely! You can tell she has put her whole heart into this restaurant!

Shannon Sloane

Mathilda's has by far the best vegan food around, oh and the best staff! Everyone is so kind and friendly. This place is a MUST try! You will quickly become obsessed <3

Leona J.

Great selection! Great knowledgeable staff! Will definitely be back!

Tracey Holdway

Very friendly staff and beautiful atmosphere here. They have great grocery options and delicious mac & cheese and desserts. Some vegan meat options were overly spicy for my liking, but overall it is a great vegan option in Oshawa!

Mj Jeezy

This place is amazing! I went with my non vegan but open minded mom on a Friday for lunch. The place is huge and we were a bit confused at first with how the menu worked and one of the ladies working there noticed, so she explained how everything works and what the hot dishes were that day. Then we stared at the options some more, not knowing what to choose so she offered some samples of each dish. It all tastes great so we still couldn’t decide. Then she offered to make a plate with a bit of everything, so my mom got that and I got a “chicken” shawarma plate with coleslaw and rice. The food was so delicious and fairly priced too considering the portion sizes. My mom isn’t the biggest fan of mock meats but she was blown away by the 2 mock meat dishes. They also had 3 dishes without mock meats and they were just as flavourful. The restaurant itself is also very clean and tidy, and has a nice homey feel to it. They were selling vegan cheese and other packaged vegan items that I can’t find anywhere in Durham. Also, if you need something quick to go, they have premade wraps and other dishes in the cooler sections. Then on our way out we picked up a pre made vegan Thanksgiving dinner to bring to our non vegan family’s celebration (which made my mom very happy because now she didn’t have to worry about what I’d eat and we wouldn’t have to make sure there were enough vegan friendly dishes for me). I have yet to eat the dinner but I’ve had a few bites of the stuffing and potatoes and they’re just as good as what we had for lunch. Overall an awesome place for Durham to have! I can’t wait to come back everytime I visit.

Boom Blast

Such a nice restaurant! So nice inside, and the food was amazing!!

Trevor Davis

I am so glad I found this place on a whim today! I ordered the BBQ unpork for lunch, and honestly, it's probably the best vegan food I've had to date!!!! The BBQ unpork was cooked to perfection, and they give a generous portion that has set me up to take on the second half of the day ????????. I wish I loved nearby this lovely restaurant, but next time I'm in Oshawa, I'll be making a stop to try more of the many dishes offered.

MetalLobotomy

This is quite literally the best vegan food you will EVER have. Nothing compares to Mathilda's. The first time I ate here, it blew my mind that food like this even existed. Highly recommend the banh mi and the sample platter so you can try a bit of everything, It has made being vegan in Durham so much easier. I have brought many people here and they are always really impressed, especially when they find out that everything is vegan. Mathilda's really shows people that vegan food can be both delicious and healthy at the same time. I am so thankful for this place!! You won't regret visiting - except for the fact that you'll want to eat here every single day afterwards lol. They also carry a lot of vegan goods + the staff is always so helpful and friendly. This is my favourite business to support! :)

Miss Amirah

AMAZING VEGAN FOOD! I love Mathilda’s - I go at least once a week. They are located in the heart of Oshawa. The food is always amazing and fresh- my favourites include the Chick’n parm and the chicken shawarma. They also have amazing desserts and fridges and shelves stocked with vegan food. Make sure you pay them a visit - you won’t regret !

rossie maceachern

Mathilda is incredibly kind, giving, welcoming and also is an amazing cook. All the food here is made with love, care, and perfectly prepped ingredients. I've had everything on and off menu, and it's so hard to pick a favorite because it is all so delicious. The macaroni and cheese makes a perfect filling meal and usually leaves me with leftovers for the next day. There is never a moment that you feel unwelcome or unwanted when you walk through the restaurant doors. It is truly one of the best places to be! If you're in a hurry, the grab and go section is usually stocked for meals and even appetizer options. I'm so happy that we have such an amazing,place affordable to go as vegans! Also, the smores cookies are deadly and dangerously delicious.

Warren Alfonso

The food is amazing.!!! Its a must try for everyone and Mathilda and her team are the nicest people????

Lorna Sharkey

Best vegan food ever! It’s addictive ????! I think I buy from Mathilda’s 2 times per week at least! The sample platters are amazing and they are huge, you can share one with another person or you can have lunch and dinner ????! Guys, keep up the good work! The food it’s amazing ❤️

Melissa Flaro

This is the first place that I go to whenever I am in Ontario! It’s incredible! My favourites are always the chick’n schwarma and the cinnamon buns ????

Mike Graham

I LOVE MATHILDAS... from the always friendly staff to the huge lineup of mouthwatering food (shwarma addict) this plant based restaurant has it all! Im also a big fan of the shops retail section.. my go to place to buy soy curls!

Steven Antonopoulos

Walked in and the staff was very welcoming even let us sample a few things to help us decide what to ordering decided to try a sandwich called the Banh Mi, all I can say is wow. Highly recommend this sandwich so good, I want another one! Put Mathilda’s on your list to check out!

Terry Annis

We had a take out lunch of the Sample Platter and Bahn Mi on sourdough bun. Ordering and pickup was efficient. A young lady opened the door for me and sprayed my hands with sanitizer. I had called in my order and it was already in a nice brown bag for me. Payment was quick. We went to a nearby park to have our picnic. The food is exquisite. The various items in our platter were served over purple rice. Each one was delicious. Curried green beans and chickpeas, mock chicken and pork. The bahn mi was equally delicious. All portions were generous. I live in Toronto and do not get to Oshawa that often. Rest assured, I will stop by Mathilda’s when I’m travelling to and from the cottage. Mathilda’s is a true culinary gem.

tim mitchell

Amazing food! Awesome people! VERY highly recommend!

Christine Marshal

Amazing!! Never ever tasted better vegan food in Durham! Fantastic customer service ! Love, love,love Marhilda's!! Everything I have ordered taste incredible! I am in there once a week picking up food. Also I am an athlete and meal prep is very important to me. Mathilda and Jhon offer over the top meal prep!! I am sooooo happy I have a place close to home to get healthy wholesome vegan food!

Morgan Edie

The food here is always tasty, and I enjoy their options. I've met the owner a few times and she is always friendly and attentive. They have been spot-on with covid precautions.

Stephanie Aries

The food, atmosphere, and staff here are AMAZING. Space is welcoming and inclusive, and their COVID protocols are impressive, with safety for their staff and clients put first. Every menu item I've tried has been absolutely delicious. Vegan or not, Mathilda's is a must try!!!

JOLENE WATSON

I am so very impressed! Lovely ambiance and delicious food (the cupcakes are phenomenal). The staff are so friendly and genuine. Would recommend Mathilda's meals and desserts to everyone!

Carrie Bon

Decent vegan/healthy food on the go

Vithusan A

The food is amazing. Brought the butter chicken for my non vegan mom to try and she was drooling! I live in North York but my partner works in Oshawa and my fav days are when he brings me home a treat from Mathilda’s ???? she’s literally veganized everything!

G S

Food was delicious ???? especially the strawberry cupcake ????

Micah Holt

Mathilda's is the best plant based foods in Durham Region. Mathilda and Jon are wonderful people and create amazing dishes.

Pen Ros

Great food, great people, great service. Never tasted food as great and as healthy as what they offer. They have daily hot items that changes everyday, desserts that are way healthier than the usual desserts we're used to, some frozen items and ready meals to take home or work. It's a MUST try!! And you'll definitely come back for more????

Rudy Malais

Amazing! Lovely staff!

Jennifer Trewin

It's the best food you could ask for. Super nice staff friendly and respectful. Love this place!

Nikita

What an incredible restaurant. The vegan food is absolutely delicious, fresh, digests so well & is clearly made with love...even my non vegan peeps loved it. The space has beautiful energy & is very clean. It's obvious the staff love working there. I had the sample platter which allowed for me to try multiple dishes, each one scrumptious - general tao is my fave. I can't wait to go back for their yummy desserts. Much Love

Steven Anton

Some of the best food I've ever eaten. I'm not vegan, and this place checked off all the boxes of delicious food for me. They staff are all so sweet and helpful answering all my questions. I'll be back again and again!

Julie Bird

Best dinner ever! Sampler plate was delicious. Bakin' Cheese biscuits so good & fluffy. Sun-dried tomatoe turnovers Omgoodness!!!!!

David Sookram

Whether you are vegan or not, Mathilda's has the BEST FOOD and is my absolute favourite go to when in Oshawa. I don't live in the area, but make the trip into Oshawa often just to pick up whatever delectable selections are being served up. Staff are super friendly, atmosphere is great and Mathilda and her husband are simply amazing people (and cooks). Treat yourself to the sample platter....you won't be disappointed!!!!

Cheryl Gow

My favourite planet based eatery in oshawa! The food is always top notch, home made and amazzzzzing!

Philip McFadyen

5 starts is not enough. Amazing food, incredible flavours, great staff and the food leaves you feeling nourished. Not sure what voodoo is being performed to get the puff pastry so flaky and delicious but it is unreal! 10/10 would recommend, amazing vegan fare!

Mathilda's is THE best restaurant I have been to. Even before I was vegan this tops it all. Mathilda and Jhon are so incredibly kind and sweet and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Not to mention the wide variety of food is absolutely delicious

Did I say Mathilda's is perfect? Or did I say Mathilda's is perfect? By far one of mine and hubby's faves. The food and service is always spot on! Also amazing protocols in place since Covid became a thing. We try to come here as often as we can because it's always great. I can't get over it and our kiddos love it too.

Insanely good plant based food. Tried the bbq jackfruit sub and red Thai curry. Can’t wait to try more things!

Two weeks ago I made it to Mathilda's in Oshawa. Wow!! The food was so amazing. I have been making vegan food for a few years now yet nothing I have tried has turned out like the food I had there. My friend and I both got the sampler tray and it was plentiful and delicious. Honestly, how many times can I say how delicious it was!! We are hooked. We also tried the donuts which were equally amazing. If I lived in Oshawa I would likely be there everyday...so please open up in Port Hope! Oh...the products she carries are also great. She has vegan products that most don't carry. For me it is worth the drive to Oshawa just to go to Mathilda's. Thank you! Carol.

Simply the most yummy food for vegans and non-vegans! I could eat it everyday!

I’m not fully vegan but I try to eat plant based wherever possible and I’m now trying to veer my son away from eating too much cheese. Their vegan Mac and cheese was amazing! My 4year old son loved it and he’s a Mac and cheese addict, I loved it and kept stealing bites out of his bowl. The staff were super friendly and informative. My only complaint was that the BBQ jackfruit was a little too sweet for my liking and lacked the real bbq flavour I was craving. Other than that it was an overall great experience and I would 100% return again

Everything was delicious. The pizza rolls were great. Make sure you get two orders!

First time eating at Matilda's today and I guarantee it won't be the last! The BBQ unpork was incredible ???? and the magic bars were beyond yummy!

Excellence to the MAX!! “The fake review catcher” is slandering this establishment in my opinion. Very unlikely Matilda’s is stacking their reviews with fakes. - The foods amazing - the people there are some of the friendliest I’ve met anywhere - the place is beautiful and clean - not a dead animal in sight

Such a wonderful first time experience and we will most certainly be returning! Helpful and cheerful staff, adorable space, oodles of menu options and the food was FANTASTIC! Highly recommend.

If anyone you know ever tries to say that vegan food is bad, or plain. Immediately slap them in the face and bring them here. If they still don't agree that this is the best thing they ever eaten, stop trusting that person, as they aren't human.

I am not vegan, but I try to reduce the amount of animal based food I eat. So I still know very well the taste of meat. With that being said, I’d like to say that Mathilda’s food is DELICIOUS. I ordered a Banh Mi which was very well seasoned, and the vegetables were really fresh. The only thing I’d change is add some cilantro sprigs to the sandwich. The siu mai (BBQ “pork”?) was amazing and honestly better than actual pork. The best part is that after eating a huge sandwich, I feel satisfied without feeling the heaviness / bloat that I would have felt if I had eaten real meat. Plus, for $10 this is even bigger than a subway footlong, and definitely more delicious. The staff was super friendly and patient, which is great. I didn’t feel overwhelmed or rushed despite being my first time there and I was a little lost. Overall a 10/10 experience. I can’t wait to bring my vegan family members over when they visit! They will be very happy.

The team at Mathilda's is OUTSTANDING (as is Mathilda) ...they are welcoming, friendly, helpful and brighten everyone's day from the moment you enter until the time you must depart to take the extraordinary food to your family!!! You will find prepared foods for your freezer, ingredients for your own dishes and of course the HOT food for immediate consumption. Mathilda and her team are 2nd to NONE! Their high quality standards for service, cleanliness and excellence are also 2nd to NONE! Mathilda and her team will answer any questions regarding food allergies, health issues and general queries about healthy eating … I have never experienced such care, kindness and willingness to spend the time answering questions with detailed and educated explanations. Mathilda's is not just a "take out place" ...it is an "EXPERIENCE" that you will not want to miss! AND ….its a place where they will meet you and remember your name AND remember what your favorite foods are!!!! Give it a try … you will not be disappointed! Have the BEST DAY EVER and enjoy your EXPERIENCE! : -)

Hidden Gem in downtown Oshawa. Mathilda's food and treats are always amazing and plenty of Gluten free options too!!!

Mathilda's is fantastic. Everyone who works there is very friendly and greets you with a smile. You feel welcomed right away as soon as you walk in. The food is always delicious and full of flavour. The menu is changes each day so you always get to try something different. Once in a while there will be special menu items that are available and these items are definitely worth the wait. If you go to Mathilda's, you won't be disappointed.
