50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Vancouver

“Folke serves wonderful vegan dining that can be enjoyed by anyone. We've never had a bad dish here and highly recommend it!“

“Delicious food. I’ve ordered from there 3 times and I always get the curry laska. I think about that soup/pho all the time! The garlic bok Choi is delicious. The vinegar garlic sauce as an add on, adds depth and even more flavour.“

“Highly recommend- great experience, delicious food!“

“wow this is amazing! I had the gluten free Crist with all vegan options. so delicious. you have to try it!!“

“Visited Good Dogs Plant Foods the other evening & I was absolutely blown away 😍💗 Tbh I’m usually not a vegan ‘meat’ kinda gal, but I had a bite of my friends dog and my jaw dropped .. I went in for another full order immediately! 🌭 You can tell that the menu here is carefully crafted and created with love. It felt Intentionally thought out & very fresh ingredients 🥰 Thank you for the wonderful service & inviting, colourful atmosphere 🌈💗🦋✨🌱 ⚡️Go check them out as soon as possible😍!!“

“Most amazing flavours! Everything was so delicious, still dreaming about it the day after. Thank you for an awesome flavour journey!“

“Tried this vegan fried chickun spot and really enjoyed it. The food was crispy, flavorful, and reasonably priced. We tried the wraps, burger, and samosa, and the seasoning on everything was excellent. There were plenty of options on the menu, the music was good, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and fun. Overall a great experience and we’d definitely come back.“

“Went for the Lunar New Year dinner. The food was amazing. The staff was even better. The New Moon cocktail was incredible.“

“February 10th, 2023 was such a tiring day. I had classes at UCW till late and, as a good hungry taurine, I had to eat something delicious to make me feel well. Also, it had to be mandatorily vegan, so I would also keep my mind in peace. While searching for a restaurant with vegan options, I saw this sushi one, called Cofu Pressed Sushi. It was not far from UCW Vancouver House (around 15 minutes by bus) and it would be open till 9:00 PM. So, I decided to go there. I called my husband and we met there. The restaurant is not that large, and they have just a few tables, just the way I like it. But the best, in my opinion, was that it was so clean, fragrant, and decorated with such a good neatness that I felt a cozy mood as soon as I entered. Nevertheless, we were very well welcomed by the server, and he explained the whole menu to us. Besides they former factors I mentioned, the latter is the most important in my opinion. The way I am hosted and treated in any commercial place makes the whole difference in my final perception. I took the Aichi combo from the Omakase Menu. This combo had plant-based tuna (made of jackfruit), tofu, avocado, fresh mix veggie, and a sauce made of vivid beets and spicy mayo. As for my husband, he chose the Ofu combo. It had plant-based salmon (made of carrot and konjac), pumpkin, eggplant, red & yellow bell pepper, and a sauce made of cilantro, cucumber, and wild carrot. As the picture shows, the dish presentations were so beautiful, showing the food as something delicate, that the sushi master really took care of it. Last, but not least, the taste. It was so delicious! Every bite mattered to me. I was hungry, but I took every sushi slowly to feel all flavours and had the best sensory experience. For some the amount of food may look little, but I guarantee it made me fill satisfied. As a whole, I felt really delighted and I wish to return there soon to order the other options.“

“Botanist exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, the restaurant felt like an urban oasis, with beautiful greenery, elegant décor, and a warm, inviting atmosphere that made the entire experience feel special.

The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully plated, and packed with flavor. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and each plate felt like a work of art. The steak was perfectly cooked, the brunch selections were rich and satisfying, and the desserts were both creative and delicious. It’s rare to find a restaurant where the presentation matches the quality of the food, but Botanist delivers on both.

The service was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming throughout our visit. You can tell that a great deal of care goes into every aspect of the dining experience.

If you’re looking for a memorable meal in Vancouver, whether for brunch, dinner, or a special occasion, Botanist is absolutely worth a visit. Beautiful atmosphere, exceptional food, and an experience that leaves you looking forward to your next visit.

Highly recommended.“

“The food was amazing from the looks, taste , texture, quality and the price is reasonable and affordable.
I order Glaze Tofu bowl - the packaging externally was neat, clean, presentable and properly sealed, the noodles was not soggy and the veggies are all fresh and the tofu was evenly coated by the Khoe especial Glaze sauce and I had on the side additional order of crispy spring rolls 2 pcs and dessert of Mango Tapioca . The crispy spring roll still hot, fresh , crispy and crunchy when you bite it and dip it on their special fish sauce the taste and flavour enhance more after dipping it to the sauce and the dessert was ok not too sweet but it will leave the remarkable taste on your taste buds you start eating the dessert you will never forget it and you will need one more order for sure.

I also ordered Khoe Bowl and they have promo buy one get one free from BOGO

I definitely highly recommended this Restaurant to all food lovers especially vegan people for you to try it by your self and I will definitely order again to try their other food they have“

“Food was delicious, the golden soup (yellow curry) was fantastic and so was the papaya salad, though I would have liked the latter to be have a bit more spice. It would be great if a level of spiciness was given as an option for this particular dish. Prices a bit on the higher end but I guess that is to be expected in Granville Island“

“The most lovely, welcoming atmosphere - loves the big shared table. Golden Laksa was out of this world! If I lived in Vancouver that’d be my weekly stop (if not a more frequent one!).“

“Such a great little spot for oyaki! These traditional Japanese stuffed dumplings from Nagano are hard to find, so I was excited to come across this place. It’s a tiny hole-in-the-wall setup where you order from the sidewalk, which adds to the charm. Everything was ready in about 5 minutes, making it a perfect quick snack stop. Fresh, tasty, and definitely worth trying if you want something a little different.“

“Im not a vegetarian, and this was my first experience at a restaurant like this. There simply aren’t enough words to describe it…it was fantastic.
The food was absolutely delicious, and Laura’s service was outstanding. From the moment we arrived, she was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. She recommended the Chicksteak Platter, and wow, it was incredibly delicious! (Thank you, Laura, for the recommendation.) Her service truly made us enjoy the experience even more.
It’s rare to find such genuine and dedicated customer service. Laura is definitely a wonderful representative of the restaurant, and her positive energy made our visit even more enjoyable.
We will definitely be back. Thank you, Laura, for your excellent service! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Love the space, the food was incredible, drinks amazing…service…was very attentive and professional…I did feel at times like I was just expected to take the chef’s menu or what the waiter recommended, but it may have been a subtle misinterpretation on my part:)“

“The food here is pretty decent, and they're also one of the few spots that have some raw menu options! We had the Incredi-bowl(not raw) which was very delicious, although I think a bit more dressing would've been good.

We also got the miso walnut roll (raw) which was good. I do wish it had no red peppers and a little less sprouts (it was
a very sprouty roll). The raw crackers and dip however, are excellent and I recommend it for sure.

Service is fine, not very friendly and food took a while. The cafe itself is really cute, and it's got large windows which is great on a sunny day. The restaurant is also somewhat kid friendly with coloring sheets and crayons, but no dedicated kid menu (if there was one, we were not offered one).“

“Cheap and healthy - an affordable place for students“

“Oh my… this was quite an experience! When going there, letyourself be surprised by the Chef’s Menu (Menu dégustation in french). Surprise after surprise, it will make you live a real culinary experience! And our waiter (fluently bilingual) was excellent and vey passionate! Along with the lady who brought each plate and explained to us what they were. And finally the manager, I believe, who came over a few times to talk about the plates, the wine and how the pasta were made the same day, very early in the morning The wine suggestion was also perfect! Finally, the décor is not at all what you would expect, from looking at the menu on the web-site; very fresh, young, modern, yet very warm decor! Please go and try this place. I will definitely be back when travelling to Vancouver. Merciiii!“

“Overall experience here was great! The food was super fresh, customer service was on point as expected and the atmosphere was incredibly lively. There’s so much happening here which can get a bit overwhelming, especially with all of the clashing sounds. You’ve got the main music, birthday celebrations with tambourines and the hand pulled noodle guy that walks around with his own speaker! On top of that, it’s also incredibly busy. The only thing that genuinely made my table uncomfortable was the noodle guy. He came to our table and hit our friend in the face and head with the noodle multiple times. At first it was funny, but as it kept going we got increasingly more uncomfortable. He hit all 3 of us in the faces and the entire experience made us feel really weird. Other than that, everything else was great. The waiting area is super spacious and they have lots to do to keep you distracted and busy while you wait!“

“Highly recommend!
First time at Dharma Garden Veggie Deli🌱. I got the spicy #7. Flavourful and delicious, the proteins in the soup were plentiful, spiced delicately, and beautifully textured. I even stayed awake during my afternoon lecture.👍
(Vegetarians: We all know that we pay a bit more for cruelty free protein, but this spot hits right and feels good. You won't regret it!)

*Update* 5 hours later and I'm still not hungry☺️

“Great spot for healthy, high-quality food for both adults and kids. The menu is well thought through, with fresh ingredients and great flavours.

Our toddler loved the protein bowl and the chocolate energy balls. Soups were made with high-quality ingredients and proper depth of flavor. Protein bar was also a standout.

Service was excellent. The gentleman serving us was attentive, thoughtful, and great with our toddler. He even brought over a towel to use as a bib for soup, which much appreciated.

Downside: there were quite a few small flies in both the main dining area and the bathroom. They were persistent and very aggressive- getting into food and bothering our toddler, which took away from the experience. Definitely something management should address, potentially with proper pest control.“

“Finally got here. Nothing but good things. Place was swamped. Still got seated within 15 minutes. Staff were friendly and on top of it all! Food came fast, hot, and delicious. Definitely be back and highly recommend.“

“We had dinner at Blue Water Cafe last night, and our server, Jared, was absolutely outstanding. He was incredibly attentive throughout the entire evening and possessed a deep knowledge of the menu, explaining the dishes with great detail. His drink recommendations were also spot on and enhanced our meal perfectly. What impressed us the most was his impeccable pacing; he managed to attend to every single table with absolute precision, without ever making anyone feel rushed. Jared balances warmth and professionalism beautifully, and he was truly a key figure in making our evening a memorable success. A huge thank you to Jared and the entire team for an unforgettable night. Jared went above and beyond any service experience I’ve had in the city. Highly recommended!“

“We had such a wonderful experience on March 17, 2026 at Miku Japanese Restaurant at River Rock Hotel. From the moment we arrived, the service was truly top-notch—the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and made us feel genuinely cared for. What really stood out was their thoughtfulness and attentiveness. As soon as they noticed that one of our friends was wearing a veil and the rest of us had our Team Bride sashes on, they kindly arranged a private dining room for us. It made the celebration feel even more special and intimate. The ambience was also fantastic—cool, relaxing, and enhanced by a great selection of music. The warm, Japanese-style décor added a beautiful and authentic touch to the overall dining experience. We also appreciated the complimentary non-alcoholic drinks, especially since we had decided not to drink before going swimming. It was such a considerate gesture that didn’t go unnoticed. And of course, the food was amazing—every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience with exceptional service, thoughtful touches, and incredible food. Highly recommended for special occasions!“

“We came for a good bye dinner with our team. Our company closed and Glowbal was selected by numerous recommendations from our other colleagues. It was an amazing atmosphere and definitely super-tasty food. When the time for dessert came, our beautiful waitresses came with our ordered sweet cake with “Happy Unemployment “ writing on the plate. It was a bittersweet moment for all of us but our mood instantly switched to laughter and we almost forgot the cause of our gathering“

“Delightful dining experience!“

“Found this amazing restaurant on Davie street across from the Sandman. Tasty amazing vegan dishes at an incredibly reasonable price!!! 10/10 We will be back!“

“The hostesses at the front are vibrant and charming. They offer a complimentary glass of champagne to sip while you’re waiting. If you don’t imbibe, they will accommodate your soft drink request. We were seated at a table on the patio which is very close to the street. So if you choose to sit on the patio, There will be city sounds which, apart from the occasional siren, quickly dissolves into the artful landscaping. Raven, our server, was friendly and cheerful, in addition to being appropriately attentive. We started with the mini steak French dips. Expertly seasoned and grilled, new york steak strips over a button of gruyere cheese atop a tiny slice of sourdough garlic bread with a side of au jus. These were quite more-ish. I recommend them. My husband enjoyed the Mediterranean salad and I liked my seared ahi tuna salad very much. The tuna is sliced thicker than carpaccio but thinner than sushi and gently seared. The plating was elegant and the salad finely chopped with bits of mango and shaved avocado on the top.. I tasted a bit of mint leaf and the light dressing was truly perfect. The staff pay attention to the guests and, when your server is busy, they make themselves available for your needs. It appears the staff members enjoy each other’s company as well as their jobs. I observed real teamwork throughout. We had the apple pie for dessert. On its own it is delicious with a caramel apple filling and it’s flaky , buttery and crunchy crus. It can easily be shared by three people and would have been enough. But do’gild the lily’ by adding the Canadian maple ice cream. We felt comfortable and satisfied. We were pleased with every bite and the Joey Burrard experience from start to finish. We will definitely go back and try some other offerings. Go and have fun. And talk to the very friendly staff who are so willing to engage.“

“Food is absolutely amazing and tasty however very pricey for their small portions, especially the green curry halibut. My additional take out order, My husband thought it was small leftover and not a new order. Great service!“

“We were over visiting our son and had a wonderful meal with great service and very reasonably priced“

“Amazing plant based options for when you have a fast food craving. Also love to support good people and local business.“

“Potato and pea samosas make my Sunday!“

“The BEST GF Halibut I have ever tasted!!!! You can order DF and GF options here. Fish was top notch, fries were great, not short on ketchup, and good tartar sauce. Great atmosphere as well!! I believe they take pride in the food they serve at The Fish Counter Main Street!!! Come and try them out.... We'd DEFINITELY go back for more!!“

“I have celiac disease and follow a gluten‑free diet, so I always have to be careful about cross‑contamination. Before visiting any restaurant, I call ahead to make sure they understand what celiac disease means. I spoke with Raviji, owner of Niravva Indian Resturant, on Victoria Drive, and he assured me the food would be safe for me. Because of cross‑contamination, my wife and I usually avoid Indian restaurants. But last Sunday, we went to Nirvana India Restaurant and we had such a wonderful experience. Opiji came to our table and explained that they prepare all their masalas in‑house and that everything would be safe for me. They even make gluten‑free roti from scratch. It was the first time I ever had a gluten‑free roti in a restaurant. The food was delicious, and the staff were warm and attentive. We also spoke with Opiji, who even shared a simple tip for making gluten‑free roti at home. For the first time, we felt we had found a safe Indian restaurant for us.“

“Really good waffles and really good lattes“

“Amazing food here! Absolutely mouth watering! I will be back a million times over. Great service, keep up the good work kitchen team! ✨👏🏼🔥😍“

“I was getting so tired of having only burgers and pizza during my trip to Canada, and this place was an absolute lifesaver!

I ordered the Pad Thai and Green Curry, and both were incredibly delicious. The portions were huge, and the prices were very reasonable.

***A special shoutout to Peter, our Korean server. Thanks to him, we had such a fun and comfortable dining experience. Thank you so much!“

“Such great food! The servers are second to none and the live entertainment on Saturday was amazing! 10/10 would do it again!“

“We celebrated our 10th anniversary on January 25 at Coast Restaurant during the Dine Out Festival 2026, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. As expected from the Glowbal Restaurant Group, the service was absolutely top-notch. Our waitress made the evening even more special—she happened to be a fellow Swiftie! We ended up having such a lovely chat about how we millennials grew up listening to Taylor Swift, which added a fun and personal touch to our celebration. She truly went above and beyond to make our anniversary memorable. Not only did we receive a complimentary cake as a thoughtful gesture, but she also surprised me with a Swiftie friendship bracelet—such a sweet and unique detail that we’ll always remember. The food was amazing from start to finish. My husband had the New England Chowder for his appetizer, while I enjoyed the shrimp salad. For our mains, we both chose the surf n’ turf—our favorite—and it did not disappoint. We ended the night with a delicious sticky toffee pudding, along with the complimentary cake. Everything—from the incredible food to the warm, attentive service—made our night so special. Thank you, Coast, for such a memorable anniversary celebration! 💕“

“Shayla, our server, was absolutely amazing! She explained the menu thoroughly and made excellent recommendations that we were glad to try. The entire experience was exceptional, and the food was perfect from start to finish.We had the red wine braised short rib of beef from Double R Ranch — it melted in my mouth and the flavor was out of this world. We started with the scallops and smoked bison tartare, both of which were outstanding.For other mains, we enjoyed the wood grilled lamb, the Hank tenderloin steak, the Wagyu beef picanha from Brant Lake Farm in Alberta, Blue Dot Beef in Prince Edward Island striploin (10 oz). They were all amazing. The Blue Dot had incredible flavor — juicy, tender, and hands down the best steak I’ve ever had. Every steak was beautifully cooked and packed with flavor.We finished the evening with trying ALL THE DESSERTS! The baked Alaska was beautiful and delicious! The ice cream trio was so creamy and rich. The creme brûlée was smooth and dreamy. The chocolate cake was moist and perfectly matched with the passionfruit sauce. The fam favorite was definitely the cheesecake… we were all wanting it! Perfect flavor not too sweet and very smooth. Blackberries were a perfect match. We also had the donuts.. don’t forget about those. Im still dreaming of them. Highly recommend — a truly unforgettable meal!“

“We had the Spaghetti Meatballs & Cherry Coke Ribs. The Spaghetti, eh, honestly, you could do better, forget the pasta at the pasta place lol. Those cherry coke ribs were so unbelievably good, and the side of Lemon Pepper Grilled Brussel Sprouts. OMG I would come here just for that. We finished off the night with a Tiramisu, and it didn't dissappoint. We will definitely be back. The only negative/ complaint if that, I notice a lot of people recommend it as a date spot, if you want to chat, dont bother, the place is so friggin loud lol“

“Delicioso sabor, buenos condimentos, cocina al momento, 💯% recomendado!!!“

“We had a stellar experience at this venue yesterday. The service was up to par and the menu was amazing. I can't say I have any complaints at all!“

“Delicious veggie sushi!!!!“

“Stopped by on a rainy day to warm up with some ramen for lunch. It was still early so many open seats and decided to sit by the window.

The service was prompt and friendly, adding to the experience. The ramen broth was rich and the noodles were a good firmness, they also had sauces on the side so that you could customize your bowl.

Overall it was a nice experience and would recommend to anyone looking for a ramen spot to stop by. If going during peak times I would recommend joining the waitlist or making a reservation.“

“My FAVOURITE place for a veggie burger in all of Vancouver. I basically lived off of the garden burger (sans onion) while I was working long days. I can’t say enough about just how good it is. Their Chocolate Almond Gorilla smoothie is absolutely to die for as well.“

“Absolutely love this place. One of my go to spots! We had the Spicy Boat Noodles and the Hot and Sour Pork Noodles and they were both amazing. I think my favourite was the Hot and Sour one tho because it has a tanginess that’s just so unique and refreshing. I can’t recommend this place enough. It does have limited seating and it gets quite busy so just be prepared.“

“To Live For is worth driving from another country to visit! I live in the US, but make the drive frequently to enjoy their incredible baked goods, both sweet and savory. It is such a welcoming environment with incredible staff too. Highly recommend if you are anywhere near East Vancouver!“
