I need a good place to take a Vegan where they can have what they like and I don't have to give up meat or fish. Any reccomentdation?
 
Take them to Fresh. There are a few locations, Bloor and Spadina is the one I go to.

Well there are some items with cheese and some I think with egg. for the most part it is a vegan place. Trust me, try eating there and you won't think the same of vegan again. I am not a vegan and I eat there every week.
 
Trust me

awe... don't for get that cheese comes from cow's milk..and more veggies suffer every time a salad is made... they slaughter tomatoes .. the red belly of the plant is ripped out prematurely and then sliced in a horrific ways... never mind when they are crushed and boiled .. it is hard to describe the horror of the rest of the salid... think of the suffering of the plants as they are placed in trophy cases and put on dis[play.. as hungry humans descend on them.... they are also exposed to being drowned and spiced.. crushed and chewed... .. oh the horror....

...I am pretty much with you.

I find it astounding that people can have such an out sized concern for animals, but walk right past and over a homeless older woman on the street, and click right past the reports of devastation in the world when they see it on TV...
 
From Now Magazine (I've been there with a vegan and she loved it):

Live Organic FoodBar
264 Dupont, at Spadina, 416-515-2002.


An offshoot of extremely tiny but widely acclaimed vegan, mostly organic, raw food eatery Live, owner/chef Jennifer Italiano's 30-seat bistro a few doors west is now stylishly done up in mod lime green and saturated orange. One of the best and certainly most adventurous vegetarian kitchens in town. Bonus: 100 per cent vegan! Best: although Italiano changes the menu bi-monthly, count on Live It Up Lasagna, uncooked zucchini noodles layered with cashew "ricotta," tomato marinara and basil pesto; vegan sushi rolled in un-toasted nori and stuffed with cooked brown rice (no purist, Italiano isn't afraid to bend the rules), sweetened with beet and mango and garnished with cashew wasabi; Hawaiian Pizza, sprouted buckwheat crust piled with red pepper hemp "cheese," pineapple, faux onion rings, cashew-coriander "cream"; for the newbie, the Raw Combo, a little bit of everything; daily cooked macrobiotic specials with hot miso soup. Complete meals for $35 per person ($20 at lunch), including all taxes, tip and a squeezed-to-order juice. Average main $14/$10. Open Tuesday and Wednesday 11 am to 10 pm, Thursday and Friday 11 am to 11 pm. Brunch Saturday and Sunday 11 am to 3 pm, dinner Saturday till 11 pm, Sunday till 8 pm. Closed Monday. Licensed. Access: 11 steps at door, washrooms in basement. Rating: NNNNN
 
Even though the vegan recommendations you received are not what you wanted, I can second the recommendations for Fresh and for Live. I enjoy a steak as much as the next guy, but the noodle and rice bowls at Fresh are fantastic while the combo plate at Live let's you try a smattering of the different dishes available. Open your mind to different possibilities and you might like it. If you don't like it, go back to your all-steak diet. What have you got to lose?
 
Thanks for all the great suggestions - sadly the snow storm Saturday killed all good plans when she showed up at my place 2 hours late due to the bad driving and after making calls to several of the restaurants mentioned

there was no was we were going to be able to get anywhere before the kitchens were to close. We ended up raiding the vegetable drawer in my fridge for her and me demolishing a BBQ bird that I bought on Saturday. Oh well, alls well that ends well
