If you ever find yourself driving along Akron Cleveland Road in Boston Heights, you may catch sight of an ethereal light grey building with elegant white trim nestled next to The Budget Inn – an establishment that holds within its walls the hidden gem known as Veg+.
This charming spot is an absolute sanctuary for plant-based food enthusiasts, offering a tantalizing array of vegan and vegetarian dishes. But fear not, meat lovers, for they also cater to your cravings with delectable chicken and fish options. To top it off, their selection of vegan and vegetarian desserts is enough to make your taste buds perform a joyous, harmonious dance.
The restaurant itself exudes a quaint charm, with a delightful front section and a fenced patio adorned with verdant potted plants that infuse the dining experience with a breath of fresh air. During my visit, I found myself surrounded by a family radiating endless praise for their meal, particularly a little girl who rated it “1,000/10” – a true testament to the sheer delight they experienced.
As for the culinary delights, my journey began with a divine loaf of cloud-like bread accompanied by a delightful duo of whipped pumpkin butter and roasted garlic-herb oil. This delightful appetizer set the bar high for the meal that followed. I then ventured into the world of flavour with a pickled beet salad, a delightful symphony of tastes accentuated by the vegan white French dressing that tied everything together.
The pièce de résistance was the Metro Parks Chicken sandwich – a juicy masterpiece bursting with sumptuous flavours. And to end the feast on a sweet note, I savoured a warm flourless chocolate strawberry cake crowned with a lavish scoop of vanilla ice cream – a true embodiment of perfection in every heavenly bite.
The menu at Veg+ is a labour of love curated by the restaurant’s owner, Betsy DuWaldt, a seasoned professional with a profound passion for providing people with delicious and wholesome food.
