Mythology Diner: Toronto Vegan Eats

Momo and I decided to check out Doomies’ and Doug McNish’s new hot vegan restaurant - Mythology Diner. It’s located right beside Doomies on Queen St W, and has been raved about all over social media for its vegan takes on classic diner dishes. It took us quite a while to get there because we missed our highway exit and got stuck behind a major accident on the DVP. So we were quite hangry when we arrived, and not-surprisingly, there was a LOOOONG wait. We waited about 90 minutes, but they took our number down and texted us when our table was ready. When we returned, we were sat at the bar. It would have been nice if they had asked if this was okay, but I understand that they were busy. Luckily the bartender was super nice, and she recommended a nice Hawaiian style beer for Momo. Since I don’t drink, I had the Floral Fizz, which was absolutely delicious. Lemon, lavender, and soda water.

The Reubenator is a menu item I’ve seen a lot of pictures of online, so I made sure to try that. Usually when Momo and I go out, he lets me pick his entree. Knowing he loves burgers, I thought we were going to go with Doug’s Burger and The Reubenator. But the people sitting next to us had the Tempeh Fish and Chips, and Momo was set on getting that with a beer. We also shared the honey garlic boneless wings as our starter. 

We absolutely loved the boneless wings. The flavour was great and the texture was perfect. It was a mock meat that wasn’t too realistic. It had a toughness on the outside and a slight chew on the inside. 

The Reuben was extremely scrumptious and juicy. Along with the meatless meat, it was paired with sauerkraut which cut through all the fattiness. Although it was delicious, it was a little over-greasy for my liking. The fries were top-notch as well. 

I hate to say this, but the tempeh fish and chips were underwhelming. I found the batter to be perfect, although, again, a little too greasy but that’s what you should expect with a fried “fish” and chips. The tempeh was not as flavourful as I would have expected, but the texture overall was great. The tartar sauce and mushy peas helped a lot with adding flavour. I also had to ask the bartender for more lemon wedges to squeeze over the tempeh. Quite disappointed with this dish to be honest, but I commend Chef Doug for his innovation!

Overall, it was nice to go out and enjoy a meal with Momo. I think I prefer Doomies to Mythology, but I would consider going again to try new menu items. Momo and I both agreed that we might not be as into “dirty” vegan food as we used to be. I think we have moved on to eating more whole foods, especially with Momo having IBS. But it is nice to indulge every now and then!
