Cruda: Toronto’s Newest Raw Restaurant

We’re very excited about welcoming Cruda Café to the Toronto raw food community!
Cruda Café is a raw food restaurant which is currently under construction in the basement of the St. Lawrence Market in Toronto, at the intersection of Front and Jarvis.
We stumbled upon it recently, as the House of Verona Toronto office is right next door.
When they open, they’ll serve vegan, organic living foods for eat-in or take-out in biodegradable containers.
The GTA now supports 5 raw restaurants – staggering growth, consider we had only 1 from 2000 to 2008.
The number of restaurants is a telling metric of the nature of the health community in Toronto, and the growth rate of the raw trend.
In comparison, Montreal has 1, New York has 7, and the L.A. area has 20 and counting.
Welcome, Cruda!
