The Happy Avocado is a fictional vegetarian restaurant on College Street in Toronto, Canada.

Background[]

In Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together, Stephen Stills, who works as a cook in the restaurant, convinces day manager Dominique to hire Scott as a dishwasher (earning Scott 500 EXP).

On his first day (second if you include the night where he works there), Roxie Richter and Ramona Flowers came in for lunch, which Scott indignantly interrupted, triggering a fight between Roxie and Ramona. Scott was then fired, but he came back the next day and successfully begged Dominique for his job back (earning 1000 EXP).

Later, Stephen mentions that Mr. Chau sometimes brings his family in to eat at the Happy Avocado. Apparently Mr. Chau once "came up to the window and incoherently thanked" Stephen Stills.

In Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour, it is shown that Scott has advanced to doing some basic food prep at the Happy Avocado.

Trivia[]

  • It is likely that the restaurant's exterior is based on Marinella's, a former Italian restaurant that was located at 640 College Street.
  • It is one of the last locations featured in the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels.
  • In Bryan Lee O'Malley's other comic Seconds, Scott can briefly be seen eating an avocado, in a possible reference to Scott working at the Happy Avocado.
