Starting as a stand-alone juice bar, Toronto’s first hot spot for stand-alone raw and cold pressed juices has become the city’s largest plant-based restaurant chain. Fresh on Eglinton is one of five locations from owners Ruth Tal, Barry Alper and Jennifer Huston. Starting as a juice company making small plant-based treats for an on-the-go crowd, these three sustainably minded and ethically conscious people have created one of the most recognizable restaurants for vegan food in Toronto. Along with Fresh on Eglinton’s entire menu being vegan (aside from a couple dishes where you can add cheese), they have a full-blown arsenal of cold pressed juices that are bottled and sold at many independent markets throughout the city.
