1. Nelson the Seagull
Vancouver, BC V6A 0A7
(604) 681-5776
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Bakeries
Neighbourhoods: Gastown, Downtown Eastside
I was just enchanted by Nelson the Seagull. This is another one of those spots that feels like it just can't be in Vancouver. It's too well-designed, too vegan-friendly, too organic, too cool. Vancouver can't really have spaces like this, can it?…More »
2. Revolver
Vancouver, BC V6B 1H7
(604) 558-4444
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
I stopped by Revolver today with high hopes that this much-talked-about Gastown spot would be open, but alas, they open tomorrow morning at 7:30am! Throwing my hands up with uncaffeinated disappointment, I prepared to walk away, but luckily Chris of…More »
3. Outpost Cafe
Vancouver, BC V5V
(604) 563-5008
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Riley Park, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
The moment I stepped inside this hard-to-find space, I felt like I had been transported to another city. The decor is minimalist but not pretentious. It's comfortable. A team of staff are busy and friendly. The food is beautiful and handmade; the…More »
4. Wild Rice
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 »
5. Alibi Room
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 »
6. Artisan Sakemaker
Vancouver, BC V6H 4G9
(604) 685-7253
I didn't know sake could be this delicious. Shouldn't that, alone, sell you on this place?
Try a tasting flight of three different sakes and marvel at the complex, beautiful flavours of these drinks. Then, buy a bottle and bring it home.
7. Finch's Tea & Coffee House
Vancouver, BC V6B 1T3
(604) 899-4040
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Finch's is a very special place. It's almost anachronistic. Even though this place is really popular with the downtown business lunch crowd, entering this space sends you to a calm time and place that is separate from the bustle of the streets…More »
8. The Cultch
Vancouver, BC V5L 2H6
(604) 251-1363
Categories:
Performing Arts,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
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 »
9. Urban Source
Vancouver, BC V5T 3G7
(604) 875-1611
Category:
Art Supplies
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Urban Source is the shit. Recycled crap becomes art supplies as you fill your fit-what-you-can paper bag and dream up all of the excellent things you'll make with all that crap. Paper, foil, plastic nubbins, bike lights, stencils, fabric scraps, you…More »
10. East is East
Vancouver, BC V5V 3R2
(604) 879-2020
Category:
Middle Eastern
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
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 »
11. Sha Lin Noodle House
Sha Lin isn't even the only noodle place on this particular block. Across the street there's a new ramen joint, and I counted two other noodle houses on the same side of the street as well as a Pho place when I walked to Sha Lin from Broadway City…More »
12. Brickhouse Late Nite Bistro & Bar
Vancouver, BC V6A 2V7
(604) 689-8645
Categories:
Pool Halls,
Dive Bars
Neighbourhood: Strathcona
Okay, I'm confused. How is The Brickhouse a "Late Night Bistro" in any way? I guess they do sell bags of chips.
Anyway, that aside, I really do like The Brickhouse. I've had times where I go often and times where I don't, but I'm back to visiting this…More »
13. Shoryumen Noodle House
This was too cool. A food cart hanging out by Bridgeport Station, and the inside felt like a ramen bar. They have one vegetarian broth option (miso), but when we ordered vegan, he packed in as many vegetables as he could. I was pretty impressed.
It…More »
14. Liberty Bakery
I'm really impressed with Liberty. This super kitschy, cute Main Street spot has a few vegan options among their fresh-made soups, sandwiches, and baked goods. It's also got a unique and interesting atmosphere that is fresh in this city. I'll be…More »
15. Guilt & Co
Vancouver, BC V6A 1B2
(604) 288-1704
Categories:
Music Venues,
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Guilt is Chill Winston's little brother, with a very limited, snacky, charcuterie-style menu of food, a great but pricy menu of drinks, and an additional menu of board games. Their music improv, burlesque, comedy, and other events are absolutely…More »
16. Havana
Vancouver, BC V5L 3X4
(604) 253-9119
Categories:
Latin American,
Cuban
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Havana! You are one part art gallery, one part community theatre, one part sexy servers, and two parts kitschy semi-upscale 'Drive restaurant. My Cuban friend has told me that the food cannot really be called Cuban, despite the restaurant's name, but…More »
17. Six Acres
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 »
18. Che Baba Cantina
Vancouver, BC V5T 3K5
(604) 558-1518
Categories:
Mediterranean,
Yoga,
French
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I stopped by Che Baba Cantina last night for a glass of wine as the sun was setting. The room is so warm, so soft, so curvy - it was an incredibly warm-feeling space with the sun coming golden through the windows.
I had the excellent fortune to enjoy…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. |
Shushi (13)I make that typo all the time. Sushi (and other Japanese). |
Victoria (6)Vegan hotspots in Our Province's Great Capitol. |
Business Time (13)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. |
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. |
