We had such a great experience at Matilda’s! Our whole family enjoyed an incredible vegan meal — everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. It’s not always easy finding a place that does vegan food this well, but Matilda’s absolutely delivered. What made the visit even more special was getting to meet the owner, who is not only super friendly but also a former Taekwondo Olympian — how cool is that? You can really feel the heart and discipline behind the food and the atmosphere. We left feeling nourished, welcomed, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!

I eat at Mathilda’s quite frequently and want to share some things I love. She has catered my sister’s baby shower and fed us at many a family holiday. This past Saturday I picked up her Mac and Cheese and a few desserts for my family (brownies and Smore cookies). For the vegan and dairy free family members I have, these items were a huge hit and absolutely delicious. Mathilda and her staff are always so pleasant and accommodating. I will continue to support this business for many years to come and I’m grateful for all they do for the plant-based community. Thank you!

I was pulled in from downtown Toronto to come in and check out Mathilda’s. Let’s face it. Not many places have main dishes without garlic and onion. The description of her place was described in a way that appeared this one might be a special place that will have something for me. And it did. I was greeted by Dahida (hope I spelled your name correctly) and then Mathilda. Both were very warm and when I expressed my restrictions, Mathilda highlighted dishes that she had just for me. My smile instantly grew! I enjoyed her General Tso Chick-Un and another Chick-Un dish with Purple Rice. It was divine and my body felt so good a nutritious meal. The place also was deli g fresh baked goods and I tried the Pecan Pie Bar. I didn’t take a picture cause I inhaled it so quickly in the car LOL. I also picked up 2 sauces made my Mathilda (Sweet and Sour and Ginger Sesame Sauce) also a sugar free condensed milk which is really tough to find in mainstream grocers. I will be back for sure! Wishing you continued success Mathilda family! Stay growing.

The owner is wonderful. I bought many of her sauces because they were absolutely delicious. She stopped making them a few months back and when I came in to buy some I was so sad to hear this news. She still had some stock that were going to expire soon and gave me an entire box!! Wow- so generous and lovely. The food there is also fantastic. I LOVE their vegan/gluten free Mac and cheese + their banana chocolate chip muffins are the BEST. Highly recommend this spot. Great people and great food.

The best vegan meals around! Everything is so fresh and delicious. The shawarma and bbq unpork are my favourite if I had to pick. So many daily options. A good selection of frozen/cold vegan meals and groceries as well. She gives the best friendly service and puts so much time and effort into preparing her dishes and you can tell! All my meat eating co-workers ordered a meal with me for lunch and absolutely loved it, they wanted to get more the next day too! Highly recommend.

If you’re looking for delicious food that leaves you feeling good, Mathilda’s is the place to go! Honestly, this is the best food I’ve had in a long time. Everything tasted super fresh, and the best part is I didn’t feel bloated or heavy at all after eating—just satisfied and energized. If you’re not sure what to try, I definitely recommend the sample platter. It comes in both small and large sizes, so you can pick based on how hungry you are. It’s a great way to taste a bit of everything, and trust me, you’ll want to! Tomorrow, Mac 'n Cheese! Keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming cafe (designed by 2Co.Design Studio) in Whitby/Ajax, her food will be there too!
