Best Vegan Restaurants in Burnaby

"The Acorn Restaurant is a multi-award-winning, vegetable-forward restaurant and bar in the heart of Main St., Vancouver. Since its inception in 2012, The Acorn has received several national awards for innovation, has been featured in the New York Times, Bon Appetit, CNN, and The Daily Meal as one of the best vegetable-forward destinations in the world, and has been named the best vegan restaurant in the world by Big Seven Travel. It’s the place to go if you’re hunting for the finest and most imaginative recipes made from fresh, locally sourced products."

"Since the menu changes often here, we can’t say for sure for sure that they’re guaranteed to have vegan options while you’re there. But, we’re saying that there’s like a 95% chance of it happening. If you do luck out, you get dessert at one of the best vegan restaurants in the world!"

"Location: 1509 West 12th Avenue (Granville Street)Category: Upscale / VegetarianDescription: Similar to The Acorn, this vegetarian restaurant has a more upscale feel than some of the other places on this list. The dishes are inventive, tasty, and quite filling. The decor is classy and you’ll feel very hip eating here."

"A post shared by Heirloom Vegetarian Restaurant (@heirloomveg). There’s no denying that Heirloom on Granville has one of the best interiors in Vancouver, so it’s only natural that they have the food to back it up. The entire brunch menu here can be made vegan, and so can a solid number of lunch and dinner dishes."

"Only bad experience s the busser on the weekend did not wear a mask. All the other servers had a mask but he did not."

"The healthiest option on this list, Virtuous Pie offers 100% plant-based pizza for those looking to improve their diet or help the earth a little bit. The 10-inch individual pizzas range from classic Margherita to curry pizza to chorizo and artichoke. They have multiple locations but we’re most inclined to go to the one on Main Street."

"Virtuous Pie is all about creating food that tastes great, is good for your body and supports a healthy planet. Our mission is to bring these values together as a delicious range of plant-based pizza and ice cream. We’re out to create positive"

"A big meal here doesn’t leave you feeling regretful, bloated or like you need to go run 10km. Tip: Stranger Wings is the cult favorite. Order with all the dipping sauces!!"

"The Naam is the oldest natural food restaurant in the region. It was originally intended to be a meeting spot where people could come to experience “the good life.” They remain true to their original vision by remaining small, using fresh and pure ingredients, and maintaining a warm, homey, and friendly family-run environment. They’ve been serving vegetarian and vegan meals for over 50 years and can cater to a variety of nutritional requirements."

"A post shared by Hanna McLean (@hannamclean_) on Oct 23, 2016 at 2:19pm 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, appetizers, and much more here."

"As for late night munchies you can’t go wrong with a quick trip to The Naam. These guys have been ‘doing’ vegetarian since before it was a thing and that has noticeably given them time to perfect their craft. Delicious, no-fuss, quick and easy veggie comfort food."

"Dine outdoors and picnic-style at Nuba Yaletown, and enjoy a pretty street view along with it. This casual patio spot is a good place to take the kids, or just for a quick lunch stop. You can’t miss their traditional Lebanese Cabbage Rolls, packed with ground (halal) lamb, minced pine nuts, organic brown rice, and mint."

"Lovely service and food, but I felt it was a bit pricey for what you get. They have one of the best patios for people watching. I also loved the halloumi..."

"Location: 436 Richards Street, Vancouver (Gastown)Category: Raw / VeganDescription: Vegan restaurant that focuses on offering raw food, but with an extensive Ukrainian menu and high tea. Lots of salads, soups, entrees, and baked goods to choose from in a funky location in Gastown.Website: https://indigoagecafe.com"

"The kind of woodsy subterranean cave a health-minded hobbit would enjoy, this small vegan and raw-food restaurant has legions of local fans. Snag a table (peak-time reservations recommended) and dive into hearty,... Canadian in Yaletown & Granville Island"

"Everything on our menu is gluten-friendly and over 90% is vegan-friendly. We recommend the Lemongrass Chicken Box, Coconut Curry Tofu Box, and Chili Lime Shrimp Box."

"A post shared by The Green Moustache (@greenmoustachecafe) on Oct 29, 2018 at 11:38am PDT. You might have heard of Green Moustache already. With several locations in Whistler and Squamish, as well as their own vending machine (which seems quite the feat), they offer incredibly fresh, nutrient-dense cuisines such as Raw Pad Thai and Buddha Bowls."

"A post shared by Green Moustache Lonsdale (@greenmoustachelonsdale). Enjoy 100% organic plant-based meals. This delicious eatery is located just steps away from the beautiful Jack Loucks Court so you can enjoy your smoothie or meal on their patio or take away to dine in the cheery blossoms."

"With trails that loop through the rainforest, along the seafront, and around the boardwalk that circles bird-filled Camosun Bog, Pacific Spirit Regional Park is a favorite spot for joggers, hikers and cyclists. Covering more than 750 hectares, this green expanse of unspoiled nature connects the University of British Columbia (UBC) with the city. Whether you’re looking for a short, leg-stretching stroll through the trees, or a three-hour trek to explore hidden corners, the park is a hiker’s paradise."

"Pacific Spirit Park is found on the University Endowment Lands and has a large trail network. There are lots of downed trees to climb on and explore. Pacific Spirit Park is for you if… you are a family who loves to hike and spend time outdoors, and you want your family portraits to reflect that."

"A post shared by Commercial Drive (@commerciald) on Oct 7, 2019 at 6:47pm PDT. Venture over to Commercial Drive and explore mini-mall Il Mercato to indulge in mouthwatering pizza at Lombardo’s. Replenish your stock of miscellaneous items at Super Valu before heading over to Norman’s to buy fresh produce."

"A post shared by City Square (@citysquareshoppingcentre) on Jun 17, 2016 at 9:44am PDT. While wandering around downtown Vancouver, take some time to check out City Square Shopping Centre. Drop your children off at Raincity Dance studio while you pound it out at Steve Nash Fitness World."

"As of the last week of January 2020, most of the stores and food court along with Safeway have been removed for the rebirth of this popular Vancouver mall, which will include luxurious residences. Enjoy shopping under the airy glass skylight at this single-storey sprawling shopping centre. Spend time scouring the racks for end-of-season sales at flagship department store Hudson’s Bay Company."

"There are days when nothing but sushi will do, and wanting your sushi to be fresh and of the best quality goes without saying. That’s where West End’s Tom Sushi comes in, with not just premium quality sushi, but affordable prices too. Their food is super delicious, and that’s why they also made it to the top of our list of Best Sushi spots in Vancouver."

"Since Vancouver has so many great established sushi spots, most people have their go-to spots. This tends to make it difficult for newcomers to sway or impress locals. Not the case for Tom Sushi."

"This recently-opened grab and go café and bakery in the Telus Garden building churns out a variety of sweet and savoury goods, but be sure to drop by for their delicious cookies (all priced at $2.50). Nosh offers house-made Macadamia Nut, Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate, and Oatmeal and Raisin cookies. Nosh’s cookies are sizable and boast a soft centre."

"A post shared by Hilda (@hildatalks) on Jan 18, 2017 at 5:04pm PST. There are healthy options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Nosh on West Georgia Street. Try Nosh’s signature breakfast wraps, quiche, sushi wraps, salads, and soups for a quick and filling meal or opt to customize your salad at their build-your-own bar."
