Location: 1869 Powell St."

"A post shared by The NAAM Restaurant (@naamrestaurant) on Mar 13, 2017 at 10:53am PDT. Considered a staple for vegetarian and vegan eats in Vancouver for, well, what seems like forever, eating at Kitsilano’s The Naam is pretty much a rite of passage. Their calling card dish is their Sesame Fries with an add-on of Miso Gravy, but you’ll also find an array of noodles, bowls, veggie burgers, Mexican-inspired fare, salads, appies, and much more here."

"Can you really do a post on the best vegetarian restaurants Vancouver without including The Naam?!. Open in 1968, this place was a pioneer for vegetarian food in Vancouver. It’s open 24 hours a day (It’s only closed once a year on Christmas!!)."

"Vancouver's oldest natural foods restaurant with a lengthy menu and generous portions. Go for a bowl and a cashew bliss ball for dessert. Expect a line-up at this 24-hour restaurant."

"Possibly one of the busiest brunch places I’ve ever visited, Jam Cafe has become increasingly popular in recent months so it’s fair to say that you should expect to queue if you arrive later than 9 am. Even though the queuing might be frustrating, the food is so delicious!. Make sure to try their Chicken N’ Waffles and chocolate shakes; you won’t be disappointed."

"This epic all-day breakfast and lunch spot is known for their huge plates of fun fare. Among the highlights are The Charlie Bowl (loaded with biscuits, gravy, eggs, and more), fried chicken with French Toast, and Red Velvet Pancakes."

"Thierry is best known for their fine French pastries, but expert baristas and an organic, fair trade espresso blend, designed by Casa del Caffe’s Vincent Gentile, ensure consistently good coffee, too.

Late night coffee drinkers will appreciate Thierry’s close time of 12am, and spiked drinks are available, too."

"So if you’re in the mood for a pastry or chocolate you can head here and enjoy it on their outdoor patio. And that sounds like a pretty ideal fall activity if you ask us. Where: 1059 Alberni StreetHours: Mon-Thursday 8 am-10 pm, Friday & Saturday 8 am-11 pm, Sunday 9 am-10 pm"

"$$$ | Gold List 2018 Readers' Choice Awards 2017, 2018, 2019.
