Best Vegan Restaurants in Granville Island

"Delicious vegetarian and vegan food, a romantic space and craft cocktails make The Acorn a charming spot for a night a date night. As you walk into the dimly lit restaurant, cozy up and order a cocktail while you eye the menu. If you're off the booze, they also have a handful of tasty non-alcoholic options that are fun to sip."

"Charred Brussels Sprouts, Spruce Tip Vinaigrette, Fermented Celery Leaf Goats Cheese, Spruced Cured Egg Yolk. Last night for this dish and last night of Dine Out!"

"A post shared by Heirloom Vegetarian Restaurant (@heirloomveg) on Oct 21, 2017 at 10:44am PDT. Heirloom has become more than a neighbourhood haunt – it’s a popular spot for vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters alike because it offers a fresh menu of local ingredients with big taste from brunch to late dinner. Around the corner from the South Granville restaurant is Heirloom Juice Co, an over-the-counter juice spot with snacks and light bites, a great casual vegetarian eatery as well."

Offering an excellent selection of vegan pizzas and dairy-free ice cream, Virtuous Pie has made a name for itself over the last few years. Now boasting two Vancouver locations, you can try pizzas such as Ultraviolet (walnut and arugula pesto, cashew mozzarella, tomatoes, kale, caramelized onion, and pine nuts), and Superfunghi (wild mushrooms, potato cream and, mozzarella) to name a few."

"Address: UBC – 3330 Shrum Lane, Vancouver BC | Chinatown – 583 Main Street, Vancouver BC. This is an all-vegan pizza place that I’ve been wanting to try for a long time. We grabbed the following pizzas (everything was delicious and all my non-vegan friends enjoyed the pizzas as well!):"

"Virtuous Pie is one of my favourite vegan restaurants in Vancouver!. I’ve been eating at their Chinatown location regularly for years. They have another location in UBC, but I’ve found the UBC restaurant to be inconsistent."

"A post shared by The NAAM Restaurant (@naamrestaurant) on Mar 13, 2017 at 10:53am PDT. Considered a staple for vegetarian and vegan eats in Vancouver for, well, what seems like forever, eating at Kitsilano’s The Naam is pretty much a rite of passage. Their calling card dish is their Sesame Fries with an add-on of Miso Gravy, but you’ll also find an array of noodles, bowls, veggie burgers, Mexican-inspired fare, salads, appies, and much more here."

"A post shared by Vegan Pudding & Co. (@vegan_pudding_co) on Jan 8, 2020 at 1:20pm PST. They say it themselves- they are ‘the one and only vegan custard pudding store’. Wow, we can’t believe that someone would try this idea in the first place, but what’s even crazier is that they’ve been wildly successful."

There are twinkly fairy lights, plenty of plants and hanging basked and booths which are great for breakfast and brunch dates in Vancouver. When it comes to food, the carrot lox is a winner or opt for a smoothie bowl for something even more refreshing."

"A post shared by Mijune Pak (@mijunepak) on Aug 9, 2019 at 8:11pm PDT. Named after the location of New York’s very first Chinese convenience store, Mott 32 is a celebration of Hong Kong culture. The food is contemporary yet still gives homage to traditional Cantonese and Sichuan cooking."
