What people say, in short
Commenters recommend Shu in Collingwood for vegan food, including praise for Sichuan cooking and a multi-course tasting menu. One visitor who is not vegan enjoyed the food while finding it less formal than expected. Another calls the set menu innovative and trendy. The dissent is a diner who came away disappointed. Value receives praise too, but the discussion does not promise that every visitor will enjoy the same experience.
