Decorated with colourful traditional Japanese signs, Wabi Sabi Salon is a vegan-option restaurant located in Collingwood. They have 3 vegan teishoku sets and I chose the ‘pumpkin stuffed mushroom tempura’. Teishoku, meaning ‘set meal’ in Japanese, usually comes with a main dish, several side dishes, soup and rice.
The price for the teishoku sets are pretty high at around $32, but the quality and variety of food make it worthwhile. Each component, from the main dish to the small sides, is delicious and offers a great range of textures and flavours. The crispy mushroom tempura, in particular, stood out as my favourite. I also added a mini curry to the set, though it didn’t quite justify the additional $6.
Beyond teishoku, Wabi Sabi Salon also offers vegan tantan ramen, gyoza, and tofu curry rice.
