50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Vancouver

“Delightful dining experience!“

“The food and drink was absolutely delicious when I went with my friend and partner. We ordered mango sticky rice, cauliflower wings and lychee/peach iced tea. On a hot summer day, it hit the spot so good. We also ordered some noodle dishes whuch were delicuous to devour on the go, though they were soupier than we thought. Our waitress was very kind, welcoming and accomodating, though also loud and people pleasing, which can come across as a bit much for some. Our group was fine with it though. We went in for a quick bite and got exactly what we needed. The atmosphere was beautiful and homey, separating us in a calmer bubble from the busy Vancouver streets.“

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

“This is such a special place! It is so beautiful. I loved that you could watch the kitchen so artfully executing their craft. All of the food was just incredible and our server Andres made the experience a 12 out of 10. The sommelier Matthew made some fantastic pairing recommendations and was so knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommend for Botanist for a memorable dining experience.“

“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!“

“Very cozy restaurant, I highly recommend the Bigoli Nero - the best tasting seafood pasta I've ever had. The staff provided friendly and excellent service too.“

“Kissa Tanto is everything the hype suggests it is.

My wife and I decided to focus on the seafood offerings for the evening, and that decision was rewarded from the very first course.

Every dish demonstrated exceptional restraint, balance and confidence. The seafood remained the hero throughout, while each accompanying ingredient added thoughtful layers of flavour, texture and contrast without ever competing for attention.

The oysters were beautifully presented with elegant, well-balanced mignonettes that complemented rather than overwhelmed their natural brine. The octopus salad was outstanding—layer upon layer of vegetables, textures and flavours, each contributing something distinct while coming together as a remarkably cohesive dish. The charcoal udon carried that same sense of balance and depth, and the fish of the moment (halibut) was cooked perfectly, allowing the quality of the fish to speak for itself.

Exceptional food, a warm and inviting atmosphere, and polished, attentive service made for a memorable evening. More than anything, we appreciated the respect shown not only to the seafood, but to every ingredient on the plate. Each component had a purpose, contributing to the whole without ever overshadowing the star of the dish. It’s precisely that level of confidence and restraint that encourages us to return and explore the rest of the menu.“

“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 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! 💕“

“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!“

“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 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“

“love this place and it's been my default go-to for a decade. try the extra goodies available on weekends. 😋“

“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.“

“This is my second time at MeeT on Main and I am writing it yet another review as it truly deserves! This place is a MUST go. Last year I found myself unsure of where to take my girlfriend for our first real dinner date due to her dietary restrictions and tentatively made our way for this Vegan restaurant that both I and her had raised a brow about (For more on that review seek out Raven Bramblepaw on Google reviews to see!) But we are more than pleased to say we have returned and couldn't be happier to have done so, this time bringing with us my girlfriends parents. The food was just as good as we remembered, possibly even better as it is not an over exaggeration that if you did not know what was infront of you was vegan, you likely wouldn't guess. This restaurant will continue to be a staple for my relationship with my girlfriend Fox, and we will continue to come back every year if we should be so lucky. Thank you Astrid and Co. for the warm return welcome, and we look forward to coming back for another tasty bite!“

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

“Good taste for sure , not super salty to spicy like how some ramen is , they are very respectful and nice. English is a little hard for the staff I noticed but they make it happen. Price is good too tbh. Usually there is a line up here we went on a weekday at 8 pm no one was there , was amazing . Great for fall and winter. It really reminded me of Asian restaurants when you visit Asian countries
So yes i recommend it if you ar eon Robson street“

“I have eaten at other Michelin restaurants before and this is my top. By far the best service, best food, everything is exemplary.“

“one of the best burgers I've ever had. the bannock was excellent too“

“Delicious and inspired dishes you can enjoy in a restaurant with a great vibe and cool decor. Dressed up for a special occasion or show up as you are, this place will feel right. Definitely a place I will go to again, & again.“

“Really good waffles and really good lattes“

“食物好吃 服務也好 環境亦好“

“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!“

“Service and atmosphere were excellent.

The food itself is just alright. Definitely novel as it is a fusion restaurant but when you’re paying this much for food, you expect to be impressed. Wouldn’t come back for the food alone.

I’ll leave specifics out in the interest of not boring people but if you’re specifically interested in food this place can be skipped. Definitely good food but not justifiable in comparison to other restaurants in Metro Vancouver“

“My wife tried Mr. Shawarma on Robson last night and after she offered me a bite I had to go back and order one for myself - so good! As well, the personal touch and friendly vibe of the chef and team made my whole trip downtown feel worth it. I will build a trip to Mr. Shawarma into my downtown trips from now on!“

“Absolutely wonderful sushi. The service, too, was excellent…not to mention the presentation. It’s a small place in East Vancouver, but worth the journey we made from deep in West Vancouver. If you’re not highly knowledgeable about all things sushi I suggest looking up the menu before you go. Familiarize yourself with it, and what you might order. The sashimi portions were on point. Tunas, of all cuts, were fresh and of the best quality. I only wish they had sockeye, otherwise I was 5 star satisfied.“

“Loved the wall mural, so cute. Everything is vegetarian, most can be made vegan. Generous portions. We ordered 2 appetizers to share and a main each, we had to wait a while and all the food arrived at once. It would have been better to have the appetizers first as we were starving. Great food though.“

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

“the food was amazing 👏 we will definitely be bak!“

“Great khao soi that brought back memories of Chiang Mai. Good food and authentic Northern Thai flavours. The walk through Chinatown can be uncomfortable due to visible open drug use, which may deter some visitors, but the food is worth the trip.“

“I ordered the takeout combo for two people from Fantuan. The food was tasty, and the portion was generous and more than enough for two.

The pickup process was smooth and convenient, with no issues.

Overall, I had a good experience and would recommend this place.“

“Over many years of meals and events, I recently discovered Hawksworth's Cocktail Hour in its cozy lounge. Every seat in the room is a comfy one, though I favour saddling up to the bar. You will always find a cocktail or wine to your liking. We usually order near everything from the food menu. Sometimes wagyu, currently prosciutto, always oysters. Main reason I keep coming back is the people. Service in this space never disappoints. I have favourites, of course. You know who you are...“

“Been here a number of times. Staff are always awesome, vibes are good too. Beer selection is really fun (like even their more unusual options are actually good, not just weird for the sake of it) and they normally have a couple of ciders on there too. Flight is really good value for the serving sizes.“

“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.“

“Ramneet and Harsh were so friendly, welcoming and kind. I was greeted immediately, and with a smile, she was bubbly throughout the entire experience. I saw her interactions with other customers while I was eating my slice, & her (Ramneet) s consistency is telling of how much business I saw during my visit. If there were more stars, I would give them. Hopefully her superiors see this, & she gets a raise!:)“

“Pretty good central location with a nice relax atmosphere. The food, especially their Crab and Shrimp banquette was really soft, buttery, and extra tasty, it's pricey but good food isn't cheap. The crowd was nice and the place offers wifi as well. It's a great place for a nice treat and meal!“

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

“Amazing service from Olivia. This lady is one of the best if not the best servers I have ever had at any restaurant bar-none!!“

“Good pizza 🍕 great experience 😊“

“Amazing food and flavours you cannot get elsewhere! Legit cravings for years if i refuse to succumb to entering the ghettoest part of town just to get some of this stuff in my mouth... the only reason and the closest i will ever go near e.hastings is because of this place 😂“

“We were looking for an authentic Lebanese restaurant in BC. Don’t pass Mazahr’s for lunch or dinner. Food was excellent!!!!!!“

“We recently celebrated my husbands 40th birthday with an amazing dinner at Nightingale! There were 12 of us and had a family style dinner, which every plate that came out was amazing. I wish I lived in Vancouver because I would frequent Nightingale weekly. Service was prompt and they were consistently keeping the drinks flowing.“

“I didn’t like pizza, but Rocky Mountain Flatbread changed my mind. Great service, well priced, delicious food, lots of options for everyone. Recommended.“

“I'm not normally a huge fan of vegetarian food - but the burritos here are spectacular. Definitely a place to grab an afternoon bite. The burrito makeup was great, nice, hot and delicious. Would reccomend stopping by if you're hungry.“

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

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

“Great food, the owner comes around to every table asking how everything was. His passion is cooking and the restaurant has been around for forty years. Nice interior, open and child friendly.“

“It was awesome, great food, fantastic drinks and unbelievable company! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Highly recommend! Food, services and the environment are PERFECT!!! Definitely will recommend to everyone around me!“

“Buena música y buen ambiente“
