When I posted about Bon Chaz and talked about how happy I was to have a vegan option so close to SFU's Harbour Centre campus, I feel like I accidentally snubbed Vancouver Raw Vegan institution Gorilla Food. I just want to make up for that now.

Coffee & Tea (29)

Spots for caffeine fixin' in the Couve.

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.

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.
