Mandy's

The salad was really good, but honestly it wasn’t worth what I paid for it. I feel like the prices at this place are definitely higher than normal. The coffee I got tasted good though, and I think their drinks are actually much better than their food!

As stupid as it is we came to Canada on holiday to eat at Mandy’s after getting a copy of the cookbook. The satay salad and endless summer were delicious. Well worth a visit and good for vegans! … any excuse for a holiday is good for us!

Buyer beware. Terrible experience with this location. My wife ordered a salad from here through Uber Eats and when she opened it she found a GIANT DEAD MOTH in her salad (see photo). We reached out to Mandy’s directly via Instagram, email, and through their app and were ignored. Will not be purchasing from them again. No quality control or accountability.

Very long time Mandy’s supporter, but very disappointed with our recent experiences. I’m not one to post bad reviews, but for $25, I would have expected the bowl to be at least half full. I’m especially disappointed at the quantity of vegan feta given it’s a $3.50 add. The quality difference between the Montreal and Toronto locations is staggering. Regrettably, we will unfortunately not be ordering moving forward.

I had an amazing experience at Mandy’s, where the exceptional service truly stood out. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly and made to feel at home. Sukhraj, who was at the front of house, was especially impressive. He was not only friendly and attentive but also went above and beyond in making thoughtful recommendations that elevated the experience. His insight into the menu was spot-on, helping me choose the perfect dish. The ambiance was great, and the food was simply delicious. I highly recommend visiting Mandy’s for both the fantastic service and the overall dining experience!

Lemon cookie was good 👍. The cappuccino was decent, but they were out of sugar - they brought us the last two bags they had and offered sweetener instead 🤣

Cute design but scary hygiene of staff. I saw the chef in kitchen blow his nose then handle food without washing his hands when I got my order to go. If you're going to pay $20 for a salad / smoothie downtown this is not the place to go. Lovely interior design but the substance and cleanliness are not there. Won't be back.

Grey Steak. When i asked the manager about it, she said they just get it sent to them like that and its how its supposed to look 🙈 the photos they published make it seem like a medium rare cook, but it tastes like some sort of fake beef that I cant place… still $30 though

Mandy's is the perfect lunch spot if you're looking for deliciously dressed, very satisfying salads and bowls. Their menu is pretty extensive; many options and you can actually create your own salad by checking off a checklist paper at the cash. Their dressings are all super tasty. Their menu staff are super friendly and welcoming. The service is pretty quick, but lunch hour can be a bit hectic as one expects. Super cute atmosphere and front patio seating available on Ossington for people watching as you enjoy your salad. I come here regularly because it's just so tasty, and a healthier option. Highly recommend!

I was really excited to try Mandy's as I've heard such good things about the restaurant. The inside is beautiful and has 1920s European vibe to it - I loved the decor! For take out, I ordered the Pacific Crunch which has rice noodles, cilantro, mint, shredded carrots, purple cabbage, green onions, edamame, red peppers, mango, cashews, and coconut curry shrimp. The service was quick, as it took about 10 minutes to prepare the bowl. I enjoyed the Pacific Crunch; it was very tasty and the ingredients complimented each other well. However, I am giving Mandy's 3 stars as I was very disappointed with the portion size, especially considering the price. My bowl was only 2/3 full, when compared to the bowl purchased by my friend. For the price, I would expect the bowl to be completely full, with more than 4 shrimp.

Went for the free coffee promotion at Mandy's in Ossington, definitely a solid option for an ice latte that's not a specialty coffee place. I really liked the merch and other goods that you can buy there as well.

We had heard about this place through a friend from Montreal and I must say that IT DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! The vibe is edgy while being very inviting. The staff are extremely friendly without being in-your-face while you are in the midst of eating. Ossington is without a doubt the place to hang out these days. This old man (me) might have stuck out, but for some strange reason, I/we just blended right in. Now let's talk about the food. Portions are very generous without being "American-Sized". the best part about their food is that it can satisfy you and fill you up without making you feel bloated. The ingredients are so fresh that they immediately capture your attention as your mouth processes all the taste layers and textures. LOVED the plant protein in my Peanut Satay Salad! Will definitely do that one over again. My partner had the Wile Sage bowl and could not finish it. Interesting note. The tables all have a water carafe with fresh water at room temp. Believe it or not, this is the best way to drink water, for health reasons. Tip of the hat to the store manager who was so kind. We had a lovely quick chat with her to find out more about the "Mandy story". Super highly recommend. It is not a cheap place but neither expensive, Great fresh food comes at a price and in this case, had terrific value.

The salad itself was tasty, but in terms of the price, it was a bit expensive for a pretty standard salad, but the portion size was nice. It was good, but for the price point, it wasn't anything special.

This is a Montreal based restaurant that specializs in gourmet salads, but also serves smoothies, and grain bowls. This place is a little on the pricier side, but I always enjoy the salads and smoothies here because of the large portions, fresh ingredients and just the right amount of salad dressing. To date, I have found everything I tried here pretty tasty (including items I've ordered throguh Uber Eats). The restuarant itself is pretty small with seating for approximately 18 people inside, and some patio space outside. However, the decor at the Ossingtion location is super cute, which makes it a perfect spot for a lunch date, or place to catch up with your girl friendsGourmet Salad. The staff here are all friendly, and has always greeted me with a smile, and the wait time for your order is reasonable. It's noted that this isn't a full service resataurant. You need to order your food and the counter first. They will then give you a number sign for you to take to your table, which they will recollect when they bring you your food. On the other hand, if you decide to take your order to go, the food here is packaged in eco-friendly containers, and put their cute, pink paper bag with the Mandy's logo.

Mandy's was a must try on my list - basically Canadian Erewhon is how I see it. I paid $30 for a salad and have no regrets. I ordered the shrimp salad with chicken and my friend ordered the peanut satay which came with vegan chicken. I actually really liked the vegan chicken! I've never had a salad this tasty from a restaurant before. The shrimps were huge and seasoned well, reminded me of a Vietnamese salad dish my mom makes. They didn't skimp out on the chicken either, my bowl was packed to the brim. I'd say Mandy's is worth the hype if you're into salad!

Let me start by saying the staff here was LOVELY. Very kind, attentive and considerate. 10 out of 5 stars to the employees here. What a CUTE SPOT. Oh my goodness. Everyone I work with gets Mandy's on UberEats but I waited until I could go in person. It was so charming and lovely. But don't get me started on the bowl I got. YUM YUM YUM. Tofu teriyaki... you were DELICIOUS. And generous portions! I had to box up about half and save it for later! So delicious and so much! Thank you for a great first Mandy's experience!

Okay for a salad place it had one of the best cookies I've ever had. The broth was also awesome.

I'm not a salad guy. You don't make friends with salad. That being said, this place is as good as it gets if you're getting salad. The decor is cute, picture what a girly girl's bedroom would look like and this is it. Volume of food is generous. We got the lumberjack (delicious) and the smoked meat salad (odd but had to try it. It was ok but I wouldn't get it again). Beware, this place is not inexpensive. But that being said it's fairly priced. My up for newbies, you order at the back and then get a table after they hand you a number.

One of the better salads in Toronto! They have definitely increased the portion size since I last came about a month or two ago -- the service was great and the salad tasted even better! Pro tip: Get the salad to stay so you get a bigger portion, and when you've eaten what you can, ask them to pack the rest up to go!

Great place for salad, portions are big, I had left overs! Kinda on the expensive end for salad. Also sell dressing to make your own at home!

Very filling and massive portions! I was disappointed because my friend hyped this place up a lot and the flavours were ok imo. On the other hand, if you want affordable healthy food this is probably one of the best places to go, not to mention their decor is beautiful! Definitely gave off stylist chic feel

Quality has gone waaaaaay down. $25+ for a salad that is filled with sad wilted greens, mushy tomatoes and chicken that tastes like the fridge. This is so disappointing because I love Mandy's but quality has really declined. Now you are essentially just buying the branding. Will unfortunately rethink visiting next time.

When you need a dose of something healthy and green, look no further than Mandy's! This popular gourmet salad spot hails from Montreal and recently opened its first location on Ossington Avenue. Mandy's salads aren't your ordinary salads! Each one is unique with plenty of mouth watering toppings ranging from chickpeas and avocado to Montreal smoked meat and jalapenos. The dressings are also made in house and are the perfect complement to all of the textures and flavours. One of my favourites is the Endless Summer salad with romaine lettuce, mixed greens, kale, quinoa, shredded carrots, cucumber, avocado, tempura onions, pomegranate seeds, sesame seeds, cilantro, basil, tamari mock chicken. Are you salivating yet?!

HUGE Salads! Vegan friendly! Great service. Cute decor! Inside& outside eating but it was a beautiful day so we enjoyed sitting outside!!!

Both me and my friend came to eat and both salads we ordered were satisfying. They were both filling as they have good portion sizes and the taste was amazing. The staff was very attentive and checked on us to see if everything was as expected multiple times.

Oh my goodness do I ever love this place. Their salads are something I actually crave and I rarely say that about salad. But hands down the best salads in the city and so many options for those with all kinds of dietary needs or restrictions. If you haven't tried them yet run don't walk over to Mandy's. The salads are to die for but so is their decor so if you're looking for a cute spot to hit up with the girls this is the place! The portions are HUGE and well worth every dollar. Enjoy.

Mandy, you make a good salad! This cute little place just opened on Ossington. They have several salad options, including a build your own. I got the Crunchy Sesame Salad and added chicken and every bite was delicious. Price is reasonable as the salads are pretty big. I can't say it was too filling as I was hungry again an hour later. 4 stars because there's not enough seating and the seating structure is strange. I was told that you have to order first and then seating is first come first serve, but some other people walked in and sat down right away, so this rule wasn't enforced for everyone. For being such a trendy spot, they're going to have to figure out this seating issue for when it becomes warmer.

Stumbled cross Mandy's by accident in Montreal and loved the freshness and decor- didn't actually know how popular it was. But glad to see that they've opened in toronto!! Super fresh salads and an aesthetic place to sit down and meet up with friends. A step inside really takes you away from the city. They also sell baked goods, snacks and Mandy's merch. Wish they sold the Green Goddess dressing but maybe one day, maybe. All their salads are good and there's plenty of variety to choose from. You can always also swap out the dressing for whichever one you prefer. The salads are on par with other salad places (perhaps maybe sliiiightly more expensive) but you get a large portion. One salad is often 2 meals, and if you throw in your own protein too, you're golden. Also pls get the Green Goddess dressing. Just get it.

So pink with such friendly staff!! Salads are yummy but the desserts are to die for!!

One of the most reliable spots to get a lunch that won't knock you out. The salads are absolutely huge; "The Fav" is a fav and "The Lumberjack" is nice if you need something extra hardy. Their interior is gorgeous, but it's almost always bustling with diners, staff, and delivery drivers. Eat in only if you can handle some hectic vibes. I think of it primarily as a take-out option. Their packaging is thoughtful and high-quality. The bags don't rip, even when stuffed with a few salads, and their take-out bowls are partially compostable which is a nice touch. Bellwoods park is right nearby and chock full of picnic benches perfect for sitting down to enjoy some greens in the open air. I'd also recommend their sleeper-hit grain bowls. The "Sol Bowl" is quinoa-based with a ton of veggies. While perhaps not the most vibrant meal, it's easy to eat on the go and is also on the more affordable side of their admittedly expensive (~$17 for a salad) menu.

If you've been to a Mandy's in Montreal you will not be disappointed. Though this location is much smaller than others the decor is on brand and fabulous! If you've never been to Mandy's and you love healthy food and funky feminine decor this is your place. I first discovered Mandy's through their cookbook at Anthropologie. And they basically combine two of my favourite things, healthy, delicious food and beautiful decor. It's an Instagrammer's dream! I was here their second day open and the first two salads I ordered they were out of a key ingredient. Third time was the charm with the Tokyo salad. I opted for an iced americano but they were out of ice. So essentially give them a break if you come soon as they are newly opened. Serving sizes are incredible generous and food is fantastic. I see many visits to Mandy's in my future. Though within a few minutes of opening they were almost filled up. I may be doing take out for a while. Side note: I came with a stroller and there was no ramp though someone kindly helped me up with mine. The restaurant is quite narrow so not a ton of space.

This is a great casual spot to get salad and has a great reputation as a popular chain in Montreal. There are many salads that are suitable for anyone. This is NOT a vegan or vegetarian spot so there is great options for your friends who are too scared to eat at Fresh Restaurants. It has many options to customize the food to be meat/protein forward. Easily expect your salad to be $20. The experience is vastly different than the Montreal locations. The montreal locations have much more seating and are more casual where you get your food and sit at a large communal table. This location had very limited eating and was more geared towards a sit down spot, despite it being casual. You enter at any time and you already notice there is no seating. You then pay for your food and get a number and just wait around for a spot to sit in. It does not have the luxury of a full sit down spot because you feel pressured to eat quickly so other people can sit down. Knowing this now, my recommendation is to get this more in the fall/summer time where you can sit and lounge at a nearby park like Trinity Bellwoods and enjoy some fresh air. The food is great, just the design of the spot makes it really inconvenient

Had the Aloha rice bowl, the food quality is probably the WORST i ever had , the rice is from overnight and served COLD, tofu is dried , and yet this is $25 . We came here for a girls lunch and all of us agree this is the worst lunch we had in Toronto, decor is nice but the food quality is very bad

Terrible salads. My daughter and I went for dinner here tonight, but we were extremely disappointed. In truth, we're excited as we have been eyeing Mandys for a while and heard their salads were yummy. We sat outside given the summer weather and ordered a Cobb salad and Bun salad. Earl grey tea and a juice. The salads came in paper bowls with lids crunched on top. The "Cobb " had wilted lettuce and very little of the ingredients in a normal CS. Just awful. Plus, if you sit inside you get a big ceramic bowl. Completely different look. We asked for refunds. It was that bad. The only good thing about Mandy's is their Staff. A for them. F for the salads. Recommend that you go to Farm Boy, very good salads and half the price.

I found an actual NUT & BOLT (as in, something from your dad's TOOLBOX) in my salad from Mandy's on Ossington in Toronto. I called to complain about it and was directed to someone who apologized to me and offered me a free salad to compensate. No offer of a refund, didn't ask me to send pictures, didn't offer to have someone from management reach out to discuss the issue. She did not sound at all concerned that something both filthy, but more importantly: DANGEROUS was found in the food. Disgusted and disappointed in my experience and I will NOT be going back. I have also posted about this on my instagram and am telling everyone I know. They are just lucky that I actually SAW it in my food instead of eating it and choking on it. Could have gone a lot differently. FYI I did also read a review where another person found a DEAD BEE in their salad. PROCEED WITH CAUTION PEOPLE. PS. Leaving 1 star review ONLY because there was no option for zero stars.

I got the wild sage bowl at Mandy's on Ossington in Toronto. Definitely didn't look like the beautiful pics on their website. Mine was mostly rice. The rice was hard and tasted old, cold, and dry. There was hardly a sliver of kale in sight. I eat it because I was shy to complain and hungry. I wish I hadn't. I was sick all afternoon. I gave the one star because the dressing was good. This whole experience cost almost 20 bucks. Ugh.

This place has so much hype I had to try it. For a $20 salad I was expecting it to blow my mind. Unfortunately it didn't at all. The portion was massive you can't easily share this btw two people. Each of us ordered a different salad so I tried a bit of the other two. The dressings were missing something. There Wasn't a lot of flavour at all. I also didn't like the shaved chicken in the salad The texture took away from the salad. I would give it a 6/10 .

If you want to pay premium restaurant price for an Instagram worthy, basic b*tch tasting, overpriced salad you've found you're go to spot! I like to start at 3 stars before going anywhere to eat to keep a ~*neutral but fair*~ mindset. Let's give them 1 more star because the portions are massive (now 4 stars). Now...the pricing... To pay such a premium for a "gourmet salad" aka a low quality product (non organic) in Toronto with such high competition is absurd. Better off going to Farm Boy (now 3 stars). Lastly, the menu and this particular location is a dumbed down version of the offerings at the location in Montreal and what is shown online (which actually look good). It's as if the thought process here was that everybody in Toronto has the palette of someone that has never left a small town in Ontario their whole lives and this version of the menu is the perfect fit...for that another star lost and you are left with 2... If you want to get that I'm a basic b*tch I went to Mandy's Instagram photo all the power to you. But the food sucks and is not worth it in such a competitive market in Toronto.

Definitely not up to the hype. First time visit they forgot the second salad I'd ordered. Second time they were out of several key ingredients including arugula , chicken, turkey (and those were just the ones I'd asked about!). Was told they'd been out for days. What kind of salad place runs out of salad?!

SUCH great salads, a ton of variety and really fresh ingredients. Also Mona is the best- she's so helpful and friendly, it's impossible to leave without a smile on your face after chatting with her!

Nothing to write home about, sorry! Many places I can say would be better. Was hoping it had some items that stood out or better services, but nothing really. However, no real complaint just the value is not there. Too many competitors so need to stand out.

Food is good, delicious salads! Wish the price point was more affordable, 20$ for a salad is a lot. Service is not great, mostly friendly, but the operations is clearly not efficient. I've had two incidents when ordering, the first through uber eats where they didn't include the salad dressing. I had to walk over and get it. The second time I ordered on uber, I was waiting almost an hour for it to be prepared. I had to call the store to make sure I'd receive it before close. They said it was ready, and I asked why does it still say "preparing order"? They had no real response, no apology, and basically just tried to pull a fast one on me and make BS excuses. Not good service if you ask me. Admit you messed up and provide a free treat if this is the case.

Hello Beautiful, Absolutely amazing!!! My girlfriends bought me here today for my 50th birthday and chose this place cos we share the same name!! From the time we got there, Mona made us feel at home and made me feel especially welcome. From answering all our questions to making sure we enjoyed our meals, her kindness made it seem like we were friends more than customers and that she was happy for us to be there. We were there for a while and the steady stream of customers, take out and deliverys was a true testament to the amazing food being served. It was incredible to see how a salad can be so much more than a salad. We came from out of town but I know I will definitely be back, great food, wonderful atmosphere, amazing service!!!!

The food is great amazing ambiance got a little too busy but overall it's a good experience, though I do have to mention the cashier I think her name is Ryan she was incredibly rude, when my friend asked which bowl has quinoa, she replied rudely saying "pick a bowl if it has it it has it." Which was pretty upsetting

Mandy's is an adorable salad place that we found in Toronto. Having planned lunch there, my friends and I were very excited to try it. The food was really good, and they had really cute items to purchase (very boutique like). I decided to make a purchase there of four salad/pasta bowls (my one splurge for our Girl's Toronto trip). I paid $25 for each bowl, for a set of four, and was really happy that they brought out a box with a set of four already pre-packaged so that I could bring them back to Florida on the plane with me securely. Much to my dismay, when I opened the box at home, there were only three bowls. Obviously, I was excited to have a complete four-bowl set! After several emails and phone calls, I've gotten NO WHERE with them. The manager at the Ossington location did take my call one out of the five calls (one call of which I was hung up on because they were so busy), however, she said because I was in Florida she highly doubted that corporate would send me the fourth bowl. She also said that they would email me shortly, and it's been several weeks and it's just crickets. I'm SO disappointed, because like I said, I chose the bowl set as my one special Toronto purchase, and had been searching for a bowl set for some time. Because of the terrible customer service, I have to give two starts. Buyer beware! I never make it to Toronto, so I'm just out of luck!
