Markham, Ont. -- If you think of raw fish when you hear the word "sushi," think again. That's because top Japanese restaurants today are meeting consumers' growing demand for vegan sushi—that is, rolls free of the flesh of fish who are impaled, yanked out of the water, and cut open—by dishing up vegan lobster, scallops, and salmon in colourful rolls packed with fresh, flavourful fruits, vegetables, and much more. It's hard to find a restaurant that does a better job of offering creative, delicious fish-free fare than Markham's Tenon Vegetarian Cuisine, which ranks number four on PETA's list of the top 10 restaurants for vegan sushi in North America.
Located at 8362 Kennedy Rd., Tenon Vegetarian Cuisine offers sushi featuring faux meat—including vegan crab, shrimp, squid, salmon, tuna, and ham. And the menu doesn't stop there: Its varieties of fruit- and vegetable-rich rolls include mango, spicy broccoli, sweet yam tempura, cucumber, radish, and more.
"There's a sea change taking place in North America's eating habits—the more we humans learn about how fish feel pain and fear and value their own lives, the less interested we tend to be in eating them," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "PETA is proud to recognize restaurants such as Tenon Vegetarian Cuisine for going above and beyond when it comes to offering creative sushi that is as delicious as it is kind to animals."
Top honours go to Loving Vegan in Albuquerque, N.M. Second place goes to Minako Organic Japanese Restaurant in San Francisco, and New York's Beyond Sushi has grabbed third place. Rounding out the top 10 are New York's Soy & Sake; Kotobuki in PETA's hometown of Norfolk, Va.; Los Angeles' Shojin Organic & Natural; Sticky Rice in Baltimore, Richmond, Va., and Washington, D.C.; New York's Franchia Vegan Cafe; and Los Angeles' Vegan House. Garnering an honourable mention is Cha-Ya in San Francisco and Berkeley, Calif.
