Best Vegan Restaurants in Downtown Windsor

In a city that is developing a nationwide reputation for creative cuisine, Takoi remains a benchmark. We used this dinner to introduce four friends — all with significant “foodie” bona fides — to Takoi and they were all blown away. The theme is dominantly Thai. I am cautious about introducing the word, “fusion,” because it has been so bastardized. But Takoi revives the original meaning, staying true to its roots while adding distinctive new flavor tones and textures that can take you by surprise. From start to finish, each dish seemed to outdo the prior one, from the carrots to the noodles to the sea bream. Add wonderful service and Takoi remains a delight everyone needs to experience.

We tried 6 dishes plus dessert (pavlova) and everything tasted great. The service was also great, never had to ask for a water refill, very attentive. The music was a little loud, but not terrible. Will definitely go back!

Beautiful old building is worth the trip, particularly right next to Michigan Central which is lit up festively for the season, but the food was great too - we got fried cheese, pretzel and dip, and tri-dip apps and it was before 6 so we got happy hour prices. All of them were excellent. Entrees included fish n chips, salads, and pasta and we all joined the clean plate club with them. Would definitely recommend if visiting the train station or Senate Theater.

Always a favorite for us for special occasions. Ross was our waiter and he did a fantastic job, some of the food ( sushi ), didn’t come out at the same time ( no biggee for us ), Ross handled it like a pro! Thanks as always for a great evening.

Great food, excellent service. We loved the explanation of the courses as they came to the table as well as the drinks that got explained. My vegetarian friend really appreciated the options they had for her! Overall, a great venue for a work gathering. Which is what we were there for. We had the 5 course menu option and it was a 2.5 hour event. It was the perfect timing for me and my team. Would recommend, and will return in the future.
