Is it just me, or has Castro's Lounge completely flown under the radar? With only one review on Happy Cow, it seems Toronto vegetarians have yet to discover this vegetarian gem in the Beaches (oh, excuse me, the Beach)...
Castro's, despite its name, looks nothing like a lounge and everything like a bar. Had it not been my destination, I would have walked by Castro's assuming it had nothing but bar food to offer. And would I have ever been wrong! We walked in to find an excellent live band at the front of the restaurant, and the small restaurant seated close to capacity. The menu is entirely vegetarian, with interesting options for vegans and the celiac/gluten-intolerant crowd as well.
We had the chickpea bowl and okra burrito. The menu contains a variety of Indian and Mexican dishes, and some interesting mixes of the two. Unfortunately (and fortunately) they were out of their vegan desserts so we didn't get to sample any of those. As an FYI, Tori's Bakeshop is just down the street, so you can hit two birds with one stone if you're making a trip to the area. Tori's was closed by the time we finished dinner, so be sure to check out the store hours beforehand.
