Best Vegan Restaurants in Brantford

"This plant-based, gluten-free eatery is totally vegan and offers a large selection to satisfy comfort food cravings. Planted does a great job reinventing dishes you know and love. Think cashew cream sauce mac and cheese, poutine with vegan mozzarella and bbq jackfruit, and pasta with green-lentil meatballs."

"This is my favourite place to grab some vegan food and some vegan/gluten free baked goods. The food is always banging, fresh, flavourful and appropriate..."

"The Hearty Hooligan is for vegans with a punk-rock attitude. This all vegan café and bakery serves up all of the delicious carbs and snacks you could possibly want. Some of their most innovative menu items are their burritos."

"Democracy* is unquestionably one of Locke Street’s favourite coffee shops. Endeavouring to be equal parts cafe, vegan eatery, and community space, Democracy* thrives on being an open, welcoming environment that also happens to serve killer vegan bites. Tofu Banh Mi and Big Mac pizzas are eye-catching offerings, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg in a stacked plant-based menu filled with share plates and sizeable entrees."

"This popular Locke Street coffee shop offers a flavourful lunch and dinner menu of animal-free ingredients. Choose from mains like the chickpea smash melt, falafel pita, and pierogi pizza, plus apps and salads. Must-try: Their most popular item is cauliflower wings: crispy cauliflower tossed in a choice of spicy Sriracha lime sauce, bourbon BBQ, sweet and sour, or sweet apple garlic sauce."

"The vegetarian/vegan menu here includes a section for kids, too, like the kid-sized portion of their famous cauliflower wings and vegan grilled cheese. Dessert options include made-to-order crepes, local craft ice cream, and a rotating selection of baked goods (how good do Oreo stuffed cookie bars sound?). Must-try: The house-made crispy falafel on a warm pita is simply delicious."

"Burgers, American Cuisine, Alcohol Served, Lunch Menu, Online Menu, Restaurant With Parking, Take-out. Come in and get 100% fresh and never frozen burger and fresh cut fries. We also have chicken burgers and fingers and veggie"

"Their French-inspired cuisine can tantalise your tastebuds and make even the basic comfort food delectable. You can find sandwiches & wraps, salads, desserts, and various other dishes from light Moroccan Cous Cous to a hearty Shep’s Pie. Pre-order from here to celebrate Dad’s special day."

"If you feel like some lighter vegan fare, Westdale’s Rawlicious might be just what you’re looking for. From healthy salads to desserts to sizeable smoothies, Rawlicious puts its focus exclusively on raw, vegan, and organic ingredients. There’s a bit of space inside their Westdale location (just a short walk from McMaster University!) if you want to sit down for a light lunch, but Rawlicious is also available for catering and for pre-ordering food & juice cleanses, custom-prepared fresh and made available for you to pick up."

"Rawlicious is an entirely raw, vegan, organic and gluten free restaurant. Using only the highest quality ingredients, Rawlicious serves gourmet juices, smoothies, entrees and desserts. When dining at Rawlicious, you won’t find any wheat, meat, dairy nor refined sugar."

"Get ready to have your mind blown: Rise Above Pizzeria is serving up seriously stellar vegan alternatives to your favourite Friday night indulgences. A spin-off of the immensely popular St. Catharines eatery of the same name, Rise Above Pizzeria is already exceeding pizza lovers’ expectations, and doing so with not a shred of cheese or scrap of meat in sight. The tangy, smokey, and oh-so-satisfying Buffalo Wing Pizza is a stand-out on Rise Above’s current menu of pies, but in some ways, the main attraction here are the incredible seitan wings, slathered in flavourful house-made sauces."

"Rise Above Pizzeria, an offshoot of a restaurant and cafe in St. Catharines, is pure pizza and wings heaven. The intensely flavourful food options are unfailingly filling, the portions are huge, and the ingredients and toppings are fresh as can be. Did I mention that the entire menu is also 100% vegan?"

"We picked our meal up and I have to say it was one of the best lobster and steak dinners I can ever remember having!!. They did a wonderful job packing everything including sauces and butter. A dinner to remember !!"

"We have wanted to eat here since moving to Hamilton years ago. With no way to get a babysitter during Covid we finally decided we couldn't wait any longer..."

"And I’m not picking favourites here, but I’ve saved one of the best for last. The Smokey Hollow Waterfall is one of most easily accessible Hamilton waterfalls. Technically, this waterfall is in the town of Waterdown, between Dundas and Burlington."

"We love the fast-moving waterfall at Smokey Hollow for lots of reasons. It makes for great photos, has a convenient viewing platform, and is surrounded by the Bruce Trail. Parking is on Mill Street, not far from Highway 5 in Waterdown."

"Located just off of Wilson Street in Ancaster, Tiffany Falls is a popular waterfall, both in the summer and the winter. In the winter when the falls freeze over, it’s common to see climbers ascending the frozen falls and to see people snapping photos of the frozen falls. Parking is available in a lot off Wilson St, but it is often full during busy times."

"Tiffany falls is number 5 on the list because of sheer elegance. It’s a very pretty waterfall that can be accessed from Wilson Street in Ancaster. It is 68 feet (21 metres) high and is another waterfall that takes just minutes to walk to from the road for a quick burst of nature during a stressful day to help you unwind."

"Tiffany Falls might not be the tallest waterfall in Hamilton at 21 metres, but surrounded by thick forest and rocky crags, it looks every bit like the quintessential natural setting. This is amazing spot for ice climbing in the winter. It's a 41 metre drop from the top of Tews Falls."

"A post shared by Jeff Valentine (@thejetcafe) on Oct 12, 2017 at 4:09am PDT. Serving the Hamilton community since 2003, this classic Hamilton spot is a breakfast staple. Their all-day breakfast served 7 am to 4 pm includes two eggs, a choice of meat, homefries and toast for $4.99."

"Tucked away down a side street, this place serves traditional favorites with a smile. The staff are friendly, atmosphere is relaxed and there is even work by local artists adorning the walls."

"What is it: This cozy eatery may look like a coffee shop upon entry but, once you taste the food, you’ll feel part of an upscale yet accessible dining experience. Why go: Find natural light, an intimate atmosphere, photo-worthy plates and a small but thoughtful menu to define your meal. Items as simple as a “drive-thru inspired” breakfast sandwich or blueberry crumble pancakes are elevated to new heights."

"Saint James is probably one of the fancier spots in Hamilton to grab coffee; in fact, with its modern aesthetic and trendy atmosphere, you may even forget you're in Hamilton!. But what I love about this spot is its versatile setting; they serve more than just coffee, and yet Saint James is the perfect spot to grab a cup of joe with friends and meet fashionable locals who share your passion for Hamilton."

"No doubt about it: Saint James is one of the best places to grab a coffee in Hamilton. This bright, clean cafe serves up savoury snacks and meals (the variety of toasts alone, from mushroom to smoked salmon and eggs, demands a visit). Even more importantly, the hot beverages are beautifully-crafted."
