If getting your hands on a free macaron from Nadège Patisserie isn’t enough celebration on International Women’s Day, why not enjoy a lunch deal from Calii Love to mark the occasion?
On March 8 (aka International Women’s Day) all women can score 50% all bowls as well as free coffee at Calii Love.
This is the perfect time to stop in at any of Calii Love’s four GTA locations and sample the restaurant’s brand new salads.
The new salads are the Fearless which consists of kale, vegan chorizo, crispy chickpeas with tahini caesar dressing. There’s also the Incredible: house greens, roasted mushrooms, smashed avo, with maple miso dressing.
Next up is the Legendary which includes greens, warm quinoa, pico de gallo, spicy pumpkin seeds, and chipotle nacho ranch dressing. Don’t forget about the Divine — house greens, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted cauliflower, kimchi, and maple miso dressing.
Obviously choosing just one salad will be tricky but with this deal, we suggest rounding up all your gal pals and having a salad party!
The IWD promo at Calii Love is happening just on Sunday, March 8.

To find a lunch that truly satisfies you but won’t lead you right into a mid-day carb coma, a little planning ahead is key. Toronto has just as many quality healthy lunch spots as it does sinfully decadent ones, and for non-cheat days, there’s no need to feel deprived of exciting options. These healthy Toronto lunch spots are well-loved for their clean and flavourful menu options.
Here are 10 healthy lunch spots in Toronto!
Calii Love
Calii Love is a bowl lovers’ heaven. Superfood-packed, California-style poke bowls or salad bowls are named after feelings (i.e. Grateful, Amazing, Joyful, etc.) and range from $11.95 – $15.95. There are plenty of vegan, kosher, and gluten-free topping options including fish and meat, so your mindful meat-eating friends can join. Grab a bowl to go, or eat in one of the restaurant’s Toronto locations and end your lunch with an adaptogen-rich latte. Get ready to get hooked on that Calii life!
Bloomer’s
While Bloomer’s may be best known for its incredible vegan donuts, but the restaurant does a full lunch and dinner menu which is totally organic, GMO-free, and vegan. Choose from a small but fully-loaded lunch menu of salads, bowls, bean burgers, sandwiches, and some more decadent options like poutine, tempeh wings, and mac ‘n cheese. Save your trip here for a healthy-ish day and get a birthday cake donut to-go.
The Beet
The Beet has been mainstay in The Junction for nearly 10 years, offering a certified organic and sustainable menu with a more elevated take than the average eco-friendly eatery. There are as many options for carnivores as for vegans here from Tempeh Falafel Tacos to loaded avocado to flat iron steak on a bun. There is also a full list of beer and cocktails and the resto does an indulgent weekend brunch you’ll definitely want to come back for.
Bolt Fresh Bar
Bolt keeps it simple, super-clean and convenient. Here you’ll find four vegetarian bowls, four salads, a daily offering of soups and stews, and a regular rotation of smoothies and cold-pressed juices. Expect a light, protein-packed lunch that your body will love you for!
Hibiscus
Hibiscus is a cozy family-run vegetarian cafe in Kensington Market is the perfect repose from a busy day. Fuel up with its signature 42-ingredient salad (with quinoa, kelp, sweet potatoes, broccoli, tofu, etc. etc.) or a soup that’s served with a hearty raw cracker, or one of its savoury buckwheat crepes.
The Simple Kitchen
Comfort food gets a paleo-inspired spin here at The Simple Kitchen which means it’s gluten and dairy free. The selection of simple boxes, salads, and bowls make for a fully loaded plant-based lunch for those unafraid of cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles. If that’s not your jam, go for a bone broth and a grassfed burger on an Unbun. You can even stop in and get some ingredients for dinner at the market, or eat in and have lunch with a glass of kombucha on tap.
Away Kitchen
Quick service meets upscale at Away Kitchen that’s located on College at Beatrice. The menu here is totally plant-based and ethical, but you can definitely expect more ambience inside than the average quick lunch stop. Linger over the veggie meatball sandwich or avocado toast or tuck into the smoked carrot lox that’s served on a bagel.
District Eatery
The casual King West, District Eatery offers a slightly-cleaner take on pub fare. On the extensive menu of sharing plates, burgers, and sandwiches there are a handful of plant-based options like a vegan cheeseburger,, zucchini-noodle pasta dishes, and a few other dishes for herbivores who maybe expected to be relegated to a plate of fries. Pints of beer can be swapped for a glass of kombucha on tap, too.
Nutbar
With one location in Summerhill and one in Leslieville, Nutbar is known as a superfood snack cafe. Everything on its menu is made in-house, 100% organic, and of the highest quality. Stop in and try out one of its toasts like its iconic Savoury toast, bites like its kale salad, smoothies, and superdrinks.
Village Juicery
If you’re in the mood for a killer salad and juice combo, you’ll want to have Village Juicery on your go-to lunch hitlist. Not only are there a handful of Village Juicery locations around TO, but you can pick up the brands selection of salads, juices, and snacks at various shops in the city, too. Not in the mood to leave your desk? You can simply order on UberEats for all the convenience.

The best things in life are free. And the next best thing in life is getting something for really, really cheap.
Living in Toronto, the expenses can add up. So anytime there’s a particularly enticing deal, we just have to share — especially when it has something to do with food!
From now until May 10, you can grab lunch for just $1 as part of Ritual Eats Week.
For those who don’t know, Ritual is an app that allows you to order food from your favourite restaurants and have it ready for pick-up so that you’re not waiting around in line. And from now until May 10 at 11:59 p.m., those who have the app can enjoy select menu items from participating restaurants — all you have to do is pay with Apple Pay.
To claim the Eats Week deals as an existing customer, all you have to do is refer a new customer and wait for them to place their first order.
And it should be pretty easy to convince your work pals to join the app when $1 lunches are involved! However, if you’re a new user, you can start claiming the deals right away.
