Smith & Daughters

Mon: Closed; Tue–Wed: 5:30–10:00pm; Thu–Sat: 5:30–11:00pm; Sun: Closed

Last updated June 10, 2026

This plant-based restaurant in Collingwood takes a bold, chef-led approach to vegan cooking. At Smith & Daughters, Shannon Martinez and her team serve a constantly changing menu shaped by Mediterranean and Latin influences, including house-made charcuterie and large-format mains.

The space is dark and energetic, with industrial materials and candlelight creating a distinctive mood. We like the bar seats for a closer view of the kitchen’s pace. Drinks include natural wines, cocktails and solid non-alcoholic options.

Bookings are advised later in the week, when the Brunswick Street dining room stays busy well into the evening.
