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."

"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."

"A post shared by Vancouverveganeats (@vancouverveganeats) on Jan 6, 2019 at 9:22am PST. The restaurant opened way back in 1992 and has been serving delicious vegetarian Chinese dishes in Vancouver including dim sums and congees since then. A popular vegetarian restaurant in the city, Sun Bo Kong is open from 11 am – 9 pm on all days of the week."

"A post shared by KiKi (@goldwater430) on Jun 1, 2019 at 1:22am PDT. Sun Bo Kong spoils vegetarians and vegans alike with their plant-forward menu of fancy Chinese food. Look forward to dumplings, ramen, and main dishes crafted entirely from vegetables and meat alternatives."

"A post shared by Cafe Deux Soleils (@cafedeuxsoleils) on Apr 24, 2015 at 10:56am PDT. A longstanding fixture on Commercial Drive, Cafe Deux Soleils is a fam-jam friendly delight and welcomes play dates where parents can tip back a coffee or pint while kids play. It has a play area that doubles as a stage for evening events and features a giant chalkboard kids can doodle on."

"Location: 2096 Commercial Drive, VancouverCategory: Comfort foodDescription: Hearty, healthy comfort food in a unique restaurant that hosts tons of fun events and a wicked happy hour.

"A post shared by Earls Kitchen + Bar, North Van (@earlsnorthvancouver) on Aug 29, 2016 at 7:05pm PDT. This trendy rooftop bar is situated on the bustling shopping street of Robson Street in downtown. It offers two lively patios and is the only rooftop bar in the area, although it is not all that swanky."

"Satisfy your Earls craving with favourites like our Dynamite Roll, Bigger Better Burger, Sante Fe Chicken Salad, and more. Plus, you can skip the grocery store line-ups and order fresh ingredients"

"As Vancouver’s first 100% organic wine bar, Grapes and Soda builds their seasonal tapas-style menu around their ever-changing list of natural and biodynamic wines. Along with a variety of small plates, the intimate restaurant serves cheeses and the best smoky olives in town that pair perfectly with the many 'by the glass' options. One beer graces the menu, along with six artisanal cocktails."

"Grapes and Soda isn’t really a place you stumble across since it’s down a random street in Kitsilano, but it is somewhere you should seek out. Come here for their natural wine list, or a cocktail with things like sassafras smoke, kombucha, or salty rice. Their drink list is constantly changing, but we’ve never been disappointed here."

"Fifteen years after restauranteur and BC Restaurant Hall of Fame inductee John Blakeley opened Bistro Pastis in Kitsilano. The cosy, upscale restaurant is still a favourite for classic bistro fare, like bouillabaisse and sole meunière, and its wonderful wine list is heavy on regions throughout France. Location: 2153 West 4th Ave."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. This is a small, family-run shop that is just two years old. It might not have a long legacy but the founders’ parents own a dairy so ice cream is in their blood!"

"Similar to a European chimney cake, enjoy your ice cream in a freshly-baked Praguery cone. These cones come in ten different flavours and eating ice cream out of these flavoured cones is definitely a unique experience. The Praguery is a food truck so look them up online to find out which neighbourhood they’ll be parked in."

"A post shared by The Praguery (@thepraguery) on Jul 14, 2020 at 11:19am PDT. The Praguery offers a traditional, Eastern European dessert similar to a chimney cake that tastes better with ice cream in it. The cones are freshly baked and you can choose from a variety of different flavours."

"Why wait until the PNE to enjoy giant dough cones filled with ice cream?. The Praguery truck brings the treats to the streets instead, specializing in Czech Chimney Cakes. The cones are filled with soft serve and your choice of toppings and add-ons, like Nutella and Lemon Curd."
