10 Best Vegetarian Restaurants In Vancouver, Canada - Updated 2021
"A post shared by ᴀᴍᴀɴᴅᴀ 🌱 (@plantbasedbeautie) on Aug 1, 2017 at 9:01pm PDT. Possibly, one of the city’s most popular vegan restaurants, The Naam is regarded as one of the most preferred vegetarian eats in the city of Vancouver. While the Sesame Fries with Miso Gravy is the calling card dish in this restaurant, other favorites include veggie burgers, apples, mouthwatering salads, Mexican-inspired dishes, bowls, and a wide variety of noodles."

"A post shared by The Foodventures Of Erin (@lesstalkmoretacos) on Feb 2, 2018 at 5:08pm PST. While the Naam has a number of items that range from the $5 to $15 mark, what helps this all-veggie restaurant shine is the hearty portion sizes. You’d be surprised at how much you can fill up with their plate of veggies; we highly recommend trying their fries with extra miso gravy."

Best Almond Croissants in Greater Vancouver [GUIDE]
"Looking inside, you can see there are actually two almond sections: one tube-like almond bar and a generous amount of almond paste buried under a number of layers and folds. Content-wise, this had the second highest almond proportion. Its shell didn't have the same flakiness as the two above but made up for it with a great rise."

11 Best Coffee Shops in Vancouver
"Four brothers (whose parents owned West Vancouver’s Cafe Crema) dispersed far and wide to third-wave hot-spots—Montreal, New York, Seattle, and cities in Europe, Japan, and beyond—to figure out what made great coffee houses great, then came back to Vancouver and created a space featuring the best of what they saw abroad. The result is Revolver, a trailblazing shop in trendy Gastown that has become a focal point for coffee culture in the city, one that many other cafes have emulated since it opened in 2011.
