Great places to bring a date. Conducive to conversation, generally high food quality, decent atmosphere and good lighting. Also, food that isn't heavy, so you can get down to business later.

Sometimes I have to physically restrain myself from going to East is East. This place is incredible. Everything I have ever tasted has left me salivating for more. The flavours are perfect - so rich they're sultry, but the food isn't heavy. The…More »

Vij's, oh Vij's, if I could eat there every day - I would. But then I would run out of money and would have to rob banks or something.

We were given a gift certificate to Vij's for Christmas, and I'm so, so grateful to those thoughtful friends,…More »

Category: Himalayan/Nepalese

Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage

5.0 star rating
  Update - 12/14/2010

We went to Kathmandu again and were impressed, again. The owner is an activist both locally and globally, and it seems like he really wants to create an atmosphere of community in his restaurant. He told us he hosts activist events there sometimes,…More »

Nuba makes incredible, tasty, fresh, health-minded food at good prices. I have not once been disappointed at Nuba. They cater to all diets and are a great place for both a quick lunch and a fancy dinner.

My favourite is Najib's Special, the…More »

I am a huge, huge fan of Wild Rice. They serve Ocean Wise seafood, which I appreciate, and their vegan options are off the charts. Delicious, well-made, and listed on the menu as vegan. This is some of the highest-end and most reliably delicious…More »

I had an incredible time here. Even though I had crappy nosebleed seats, the size of this venue means that no matter how crappy your seat is, you'll still have a fairly good view of the stage. I appreciated that. My ticket was $15 and I saw an…More »

The Alibi Room is just great. Get there early enough and you can get a table, from which you can, in comfort (if a bit chilly - this building is VERY OLD), sample their incredible beer list. On my last visit, I tried the Swans Coconut Porter - yes, a…More »

Oh, Keefer, I wanted to love you... and then I did. In fact, I loved you enough to spend more than I've ever spent at a bar before, and you didn't even have sesame balls (major disappointment). Also, I love you even though we paid our bill x2 because…More »

4.0 star rating
  12/29/2010

Last year my girlfriend and I won a gift certificate for Campagnolo. It's not the type of place we'd normally have tried, just because we're vegan and it's not a vegan restaurant, which usually means frustration. However, because we had the gift…More »

One of the most amazing spaces in Gastown, as far as I'm concerned. Cute design, too - the menus bound in old hardcover books on weathered paper is a seriously nice touch. Great drinks, great view, cozy, fun menu. Wish them veggie sliders were vegan.…More »

I was really impressed by this place! They were totally aware of what did and did not have butter in it (by the way, the butter-free roti is to die for). Also, there's a great array of vegan-friendly curries to eat. We ordered Hari Bari Sabzi, Gobi…More »

3.0 star rating
  Update - 12/19/2010

Whoa, okay, quick update - experienced some pretty hostile service the other night at the tiki lounge, and apparently the previous restaurant menu, which was inspiring and interesting, has been either temporarily or permanently nixed in favour of the…More »

NOTE: RADHA IS CLOSED as far as I know.

I agree that this is hands-down the best vegan food in Vancouver. Radha's meals are consistently wonderful, whether they're seasonal offerings or menu mainstays. It is absolutely worth the price. Organic produce…More »

Recently updated lists from Malloreigh M.

Coffee & Tea (29)

Spots for caffeine fixin' in the Couve.

Vegan Vancouver (49)

Places to eat if you eschew animal products. All-vegan at the top, then all-vegetarian, then vegan-friendly omnivorous, each section organized from highest to lowest star rating.

Grocery Shop (10)

I'm a picky grocery consumer - I find shopping at big box stores really frustrating. Here's a list of grocery stores in Vancouver with great selections of interesting food, ethnic ingredients, spices, organic produce, and some specialty items that are useful for vegan cooking.

Just One Drink (23)

Some lovely places to go for a drink - cocktails, beer, or wine - where you probably won't be able to have just one.

Exceptional Vancouver (18)

Take visitors from out of town to these interesting, unique spots for a cool and unusual experience.

Shushi (13)

I make that typo all the time. Sushi (and other Japanese).

Victoria (6)

Vegan hotspots in Our Province's Great Capitol.

Curries and Chutneys and Dosas, Oh My (14)

Where can a spice-lovin' vegetarian find satisfying South Asian food in Vancouver?

San Francisco (12)

These are the places I have reviewed in SF.

Danger! Danger! (4)

I recommend that you do NOT waste your time with these businesses. Poor service or poor food quality, probably both, make these places more frustrating than anything else.
