Best Vegetarian Restaurants in New Westminster

"A bijou little nook in the up-and-coming South Main neighborhood, The Acorn is a haven of haute vegetarian cuisine. Chef Brian Luptak weaves foraged flair into bold, complex dishes, like smoked-onion kelp sauce on roasted king oyster mushrooms and..."

"For vegetarian and vegan foodies looking for a new brunch spot, Heirloom offers an entirely meat-free menu. Occupying an airy, modern space with an abundance of natural light, the restaurant’s healthy ambiance reflects the menu’s commitment to locally sourced and organic fruit and vegetables. Vegetarian brunch menus feature a range of vegetarian interpretations of the staple eggs Benedict, including mushroom, avocado and beet based versions of the classic."

"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."

"From one space in Chinatown to an international company, Virtuous Pie is a must-know name not just for vegan fare, but for pizza in general. Opting for a delicious thin crust as the base, Virtuous Pie has a wide variety of options, ranging from classic marinara all the way to truffle touches and Buffalo cauliflower on top. The pies are super reasonably priced too, which means more cash in your pocket for their garlic knots or some mac and cheese on the side."

"The Sunny Side Breakfast Sandwich (Photo courtesy Virtuous Pies). Virtuous Pie already has one seriously popular plant-based pizzeria in Chinatown, and they are opening another one on the UBC campus in winter 2017. This spot offers a killer selection of pizzas along with an unreal vegetarian brunch."

"My second favourite restaurant from my time in Vancouver was surprisingly a vegan pizzeria, and I use the term surprising because I wasn’t quite convinced prior to my visit that pizza could actually exist without cheese."

"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."

"A post shared by ᴀᴍᴀɴᴅᴀ 🌱 (@plantbasedbeautie) on Aug 1, 2017 at 9:01pm PDT. Possibly, one of the city’s most popular vegan restaurants, The Naam is regarded as one of the most preferred vegetarian eats in the city of Vancouver. While the Sesame Fries with Miso Gravy is the calling card dish in this restaurant, other favorites include veggie burgers, apples, mouthwatering salads, Mexican-inspired dishes, bowls, and a wide variety of noodles."

"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."

"At the Juice Truck Cafe, you can grab a fresh cold-pressed juice to enjoy on the spot or take home. They also offer light and healthy breakfast and lunch to go."

"This might be the freshest and healthiest food truck around. Grab a delicious, cold-pressed juice or smoothie all made from the best organic ingredients around."

"Gastown's iconic food truck serving smoothies, cold-pressed juice and a smaller selection of lunch items, like salads and light snacks."

"Vancouver has fallen hard for Do Chay (1269 Hamilton Street), a vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant that recently launched a second location in sleek Yaletown. Flavours are lively and inventive, drawing upon the best of Vietnamese cuisine and plant-based flavours. Most of the items are vegan, including crispy spring rolls that are accompanied by mustard greens and herbs for wrapping as well as Do Chay’s very popular ish sauce, an umami-rich vegan replacement for fish sauce."

"One of the best vegan and vegetarian options in Vancouver is Do Chay. Famous for their appealing presentation and flavorful food, this spot is a must-try when all you want is some great Vietnamese comfort food. For street food options, try the Crispy daikon cakes, with egg, salted radish, green onion, papaya slaw and soya sauce."

"Opened by Patrick Do and Amanda Clark, Do Chay Saigon Vietnamese is a vegetarian and vegan restaurant located in the heart of the Kingsway corridor. Its menu features approachable Vietnamese fare with a focus on planted-based or vegetable-forward"

"The Templeton won an outstanding achievement award from the BC heritage society back in 1997 and has been a diner since 1934 under various names. Probably the highest quality diner on this list, The Templeton is the place to go when your parents or grandparents want to have a great breakfast in a setting they would have experienced as kids. Hours: Sunday/Tuesday to Thursday, 8:30AM-10PM, Friday/Saturday, 8:30AM-11PM and Sunday, 8:30AM-11PMWhere: 1087 Granville Street"

"A post shared by The Templeton Diner (@thetempleton) on Apr 21, 2018 at 2:11pm PDT. Organic and nostalgic, that’s what you’ll find on the menu of this Vancouver dive. This old-style diner serves up classic breakfasts just like your mom used to make, as well as some boozy shakes just like your “fun” aunt used to sneak you."

"This Granville strip staple doubles as a time machine that will transport you back to the heyday of classic diner cooking. With all day breakfast, free-run eggs and enough vegetarian options to keep every person in your party happy, The Templeton continues to be go-to spot for all-day b-fast in Vancouver."

"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..."

"A post shared by Rachel (@rachtelling) on Jun 28, 2017 at 5:58pm PDT. Go back to a simpler time with this ping pong bar. Seating is first come, first serve and table bookings fill up quickly."

"In the summer months, Dockside Restaurant's patio is the place to be. Located in Granville Island's boutique hotel, they've created an outdoor oasis that serves cold wine, beer brewed on-site, and tasty bites to nibble on. If the weather cools down, patio heaters help keep you warm so you can enjoy the patio, and the lovely view of Vancouver's False Creek."

"This hotel restaurant gets points for its Granville Island location and its microbrews, which are crafted on the premises. The indoor fireplace adds instant appeal, but the patio is by all accounts one of the best places to hang out. The large space offers sweeping views of the cityscape and the water."

"This small tasting room found along the Adnac bike route is a must-visit when touring Vancouver’s beer scene, for the beer as much as for the story (but mainly for the beer.) Some guys who played on a hockey team called “the Bombers” convinced one of their teammates who made a bangin’ home brew to open a brewery. Next thing you know, Bomber Brewing was born. Hockey to craft beer?"

"Bomber is so tucked away among bagel factories and other industrial buildings that I feel like it could surely be considered a hidden gem. Not only is the beer drool worthy, but they’ve got a bunch of tasty little bar snacks and board games so you can sit there all night and sip and play, or fill a growler and hit the road. Either way, your taste buds will thank you."

"Between the Bomber Russian Imperial Stout and the Parklife Passion Fruit Ale, you’ve got two killer beers. The tap room is small but cozy and that Adanac street beer route is fantastic."

"A post shared by Jamjar Folk Lebanese Food (@jamjarfolk) on Aug 19, 2018 at 2:17pm PDT. Whether it be South Granville or Commercial Drive, it doesn’t matter where you head off to. If you’re at Jamjar, you’re in for some delicious folk Lebanese food made from scratch."

"Sweet-toothed Vancouverites with specific dietary preferences can indulge guilt-free (well, almost) at this alternative Mount Pleasant bakeshop specializing in not-so-sinful treats. Here, vegan cheesecakes are made without dairy, refined sugar or grains – but they certainly don’t taste that way. Salted caramel and chocolate flavoured slices will satisfy your dessert cravings, while the raw pumpkin cheesecake is creamy and rich without tasting overly sweet."

"Indulge it at Breka Bakery, open 24 hours a day and serving some seriously good café food and baked goods. While you can order full cakes for special occasions, at 3 am, it’s a slice you’re after. Your choices are between the white chocolate raspberry or the Belgian chocolate espresso, each of which will satisfy your late-night need for the rich, creamy cake."

"A post shared by Breka Bakery & Café (@brekabakery) on Jul 19, 2019 at 4:14pm PDT. How can you really go wrong with a bakery cafe open 24/7?. Whether it’s an early morning doughnut craving or a late-night study session, Breka is here for hungry Vancouverites looking for a selection of goodies around the clock, and around the city."
