It’s the place to go if you’re hunting for the finest and most imaginative recipes made from fresh, locally sourced products."

They’re cooking using the best of the season at Vancouver’s elegant The Acorn, so their menu is always evolving with the calendar. Their dishes are all vegetarian as a base, with most adaptable to suit vegan diners."

"Charred Brussels Sprouts, Spruce Tip Vinaigrette, Fermented Celery Leaf Goats Cheese, Spruced Cured Egg Yolk. Last night for this dish and last night of Dine Out!"

"Heirloom has made a name for itself as one of the go-to dinner spots for vegetarians and carnivores alike. The space itself is bright and trendy, and the menu boasts a variety of vegetarian takes on the classics. Large salads, stone bowls, and comfort foods like the “not butter chicken” (SO GOOD!!) make up the diverse menu."

"A post shared by Renee Yeung | Food & Travel (@thebellydiaries) on Dec 4, 2019 at 2:18pm PST. A favourite for weekend brunch (although they serve it every day), Heirloom excels in providing beautiful, airy spaces and a mouth-watering menu. Dishes are full of colour and taste, and portions are refreshingly large."

"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!!"

"A pizza topped with buffalo sauce coated cauliflower that I promise most people would never even know is completely vegan."

"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."

"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!!)."

"The sesame fries are nothing too special, but the real icon here is the pairing of it with the miso gravy. The miso gravy is so addicting The Naam has even started selling bottles of it for retail at supermarkets."

"Decided to have lunch there today after reading some good google reviews. The chicken bowl was so so so good. The staff were super nice, the woman at cas..."

"Vancouver’s zero-waste, vegan only cafe, Kind Cafe, is run by a father-daughter duo and not only does great food but is a beautiful space inside. There are twinkly fairy lights, plenty of plants and hanging basked and booths which are great for breakfast and brunch dates in Vancouver. When it comes to food, the carrot lox is a winner or opt for a smoothie bowl for something even more refreshing."

"Since we’re thinking about our sweet tooth, we’re finishing this list with a couple of great cafes in Vancouver. Having launched just last year, Kind Cafe is not only vegan, it’s also the first zero-waste cafe in the city. Kind has a range of dishes from sandwiches to flatbreads and bowls."

"Try one of their specialty lattes like the beetroot spice, black sesame, or blue lavender. Order a superfood smoothie, a carrot lox bagel or one of their hearty bowls. I love that they are zero waste, and encourage everyone to BYOC, bring your own container."

"A post shared by Glory Juice Co. (@gloryjuiceco) on Nov 22, 2018 at 9:46am PST. Glory Juice is a staple in the city. With multiple locations, this is their first in North Vancouver, and you’ll find it stocked with (obviously) cold-pressed juices, as well as a full menu of nutritious food."

"The dairy queen first started its establishment in 1938 in Illinois; it was a father and son partnership which they contacted one of their friends and customers to introduce their new dessert, which was a soft frozen dairy product, and in the trial sale, it made a great success with selling more than 1500. after that and the time of world war 2, the franchise started expanding that after the war, there were 100 dairy queen stores, and it grew to more than 1440 stores in 1950 and is still expanding and has become one of the largest franchises all around the world; the dairy queen is the place for any kind of people from kids sports teams to families and business people who want to have a great food an lunch. Dairy queen serves different kinds of meals such as chicken strips and burgers and snacks; it also has an item called treats, which are signature made drinks and desserts and cone ice creams and sundaes; they also have shakes and smoothies, which are also a signature of the restaurant."

"Founded with an origin in French baking techniques, Bakery Sate comes out of left field for its application of a custard-like filling for its almond croissants. Depending on your preference of an almond filling being a paste or custard, this entry might be ranked higher or lower based on that merit. This, paired with the fact that the croissant is double baked means that the gradient between in the interior and the crust is a long and gentle progression and the almond cookie on top has a wonderful chew to it."

"If you find yourself over on Granville Island looking for an afternoon pick-me-up, then look no further than A Bread Affair. I couldn’t notice any vegan or GF options upon my visit, but the smell and traditional interior alone were worth a peak inside.

"A post shared by Hanna McLean (@hannamclean_) on Aug 19, 2018 at 10:14am PDT. Bagels are life, and if you agree, head to one of Rosemary Rocksalt’s locations in Vancouver. While they offer several varieties of our favourite round carb (other than doughnuts) the signature Rosemary Rocksalt variety is a winner if you’re opting for a truly tasty breakfast bagel sandwich or just simply cream cheese filling."

"Canada’s first collaborative model of “nano” breweries co-working on-site, Callister is an incubator and a place to try cask beers (get a flight of beer-in-the-making), as well as hand-crafted sodas and on-tap local cider—and also a spot for the one-of-a-kind artwork of Goldmoss Satellite. Think of it as a lab of sorts—where you’re the happy guinea pig. 1338 Franklin St.,callisterbrewing.com"

"Callister was hard to qualify on this list, as the brewery itself actively maintains an ongoing contract brewing cycle with a number of new rotating labels. Nevertheless, the focus on creativity (both in the beer, and in the local art showcases) helped propel them into the top ten."

"Pretty awesome little spot with about 4 local craft breweries getting off the ground. The beer is better than home brew and always has a few newby's you'll want to check out."

"Look out for the mural on the wall to find Vancouver’s ‘longest running craft brewery’ in gritty East Vancouver at 310 Commercial Drive. Enter through the loading bay and you’re in the working brewery, so watch out!. Brewer James Walton has been brewing up unpasteurized beer for nearly 25 years and you’ll only find fresh beer here — there are no cans or bottles in sight."

"They don’t have a tasting room, but do welcome guest into their workspace to taste their beers. They don’t serve pints or food, or even have chairs. But you can sample up to 6 beers (one at a time, of course)."

"This brewery has over 180 rotating taps which they call Brainstorms. Just to warn you, it's not professional at all and you will see flies. Now that the warnings are done, you need to see this place."

"R&B Brewing is one of Vancouver’s original microbreweries which has been serving up hoppy, golden froth since 1997. Located just off Main Street, you’ll hear punk rock, ska and folk music blasting out of their doors as you take in the sweet smell of boiling wart and the grinding roar of the mill out back. The team have recently given the space a total makeover, offering thirsty guests a retail growler station, funky fireplace meets book nook and spacious bar."

"The brews at R&B are named after iconic Vancouver places and things like their Dude Chilling Pale Ale, Stolen Bike Lager, and their Vancouver Special IPA. You can stop and get your growlers filled and your favourite beers in cans at the Growler Station. Or enjoy menu items from the Ale & Pizza House on the two patios.

"A post shared by R&B Brewing Co. (@rbbrewing) on Feb 16, 2018 at 5:20pm PST. There’s something for all ages at this eclectic Mount Pleasant brewery. It’s family-friendly, especially during the day (nighttime gets pretty shoulder-to-shoulder busy)."
