Best Vegan Restaurants in Surrey

"The jewel of Vancouver’s vegetarian and vegan dining scene, The Acorn Restaurant (3995 Main Street), has consistently been lauded for its refined approach to seasonal plant-based eating. Big Seven Travel listed them as the #1 vegan-friendly restaurant in the world. A tour of the menu reveals many beautifully conceived and executed items, such as pan-roasted North Arm Farm black salsify with burnt grand fir brown butter, Mount Pleasant magnolia vinegar, parsley root purée, ox-eye daisy capers, and crispy salsify skins."

"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."

"The Acorn is a vegetarian restaurant that offers an extra variety of gluten-free vegetarian meals. Focusing on fresh local ingredients means the menus are seasonal. The decor of the restaurant reflects the modern and elegant character of the dishes served."

"Housed in a beautiful heritage building with exposed brick and wooden floors, Heirloom offers a comfy and casual atmosphere that can be enjoyed at any time of the day. But it’s really the menu that takes center stage. With solely vegan and vegetarian fare (including an extensively creative cocktail menu) sourced locally, the choices might at first seem limited, but trust us when we say that even Ron Swanson could find something to whet his palate here."

"Location: 1509 West 12th Avenue (Granville Street)Category: Upscale / VegetarianDescription: Similar to The Acorn, this vegetarian restaurant has a more upscale feel than some of the other places on this list. The dishes are inventive, tasty, and quite filling. The decor is classy and you’ll feel very hip eating here."

"The healthiest option on this list, Virtuous Pie offers 100% plant-based pizza for those looking to improve their diet or help the earth a little bit. The 10-inch individual pizzas range from classic Margherita to curry pizza to chorizo and artichoke. They have multiple locations but we’re most inclined to go to the one on Main Street."

"My second favourite restaurant from my time in Vancouver was surprisingly a vegan pizzeria, and I use the term surprising because I wasn’t quite convinced prior to my visit that pizza could actually exist without cheese."

"A big meal here doesn’t leave you feeling regretful, bloated or like you need to go run 10km. Tip: Stranger Wings is the cult favorite. Order with all the dipping sauces!!"

"The Naam is the oldest natural food restaurant in the region. It was originally intended to be a meeting spot where people could come to experience “the good life.” They remain true to their original vision by remaining small, using fresh and pure ingredients, and maintaining a warm, homey, and friendly family-run environment. They’ve been serving vegetarian and vegan meals for over 50 years and can cater to a variety of nutritional requirements."

"A post shared by Hanna McLean (@hannamclean_) on Oct 23, 2016 at 2:19pm 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, appetizers, and much more here."

"A Kitsilano institution known for its delicious breakfast, the Naam has been serving up its tasty vegan and vegetarian dishes for over 30 years. A taste of their miso gravy is a must. Try it slathered on their dragon bowl or over their sesame fries."

"The sister restaurant to Acorn, which has won awards for its vegetarian and vegan fine dining, Arbor has neatly swooped in to cover another side of the market: vegetable-focused comfort food. Pretty much every item on the menu can be made gluten-free if it isn’t already, and there’s plenty for vegans to feast upon too. Check out the hidden patio garden at the back or drop by for a battered, Southern-fried artichoke sandwich with eggplant “bacon” for take-out."

"Get your favourite Arbor meals delivered right to your door step via Door Dash or Uber Eats!. We also have a contactless takeout window so you can stretch your legs AND safely pick up food for home!. In addition to our menu, you can order"

For example, The Poke Guy (420 Richards Street) is appealingly healthy and sustainable, using wild seafood, Ocean Wise ingredients, as well as 100% compostable packaging."

"A post shared by The Templeton Diner (@thetempleton) on Apr 21, 2018 at 2:11pm PDT. Organic and nostalgic, that’s what you’ll find on the menu of this Vancouver dive. This old-style diner serves up classic breakfasts just like your mom used to make, as well as some boozy shakes just like your “fun” aunt used to sneak you."

Address: 1087 Granville Street, VancouverPhone: 604-685-4612"

"My favourite local cafe and the place you’ll most likely find us on a weekend if we’re out getting brunch. Red Umbrella Cafe in the West End, doesn’t have loads of vegetarian options, but you won’t feel like you’re missing out if you order the vegetarian breakfast. This comes with eggs, veggie sausage, your choice of bread, tomatoes and spinach making it one of my best breakfast in Vancouver suggestions for vegetarians."

"Imagine going for a Sunday stroll through the beautiful English Bay and a pancake craving hits. Don’t worry Red Umbrella will be there to save the day. This spot offers affordable and delicious pancakes."

"The top-notch rotation of beans at Winston makes them a prime destination for the best decaf coffee in Vancouver. Past features have included a Guatemalan from modus and the quintessential decaf from Phil & Sebastian. Don’t argue with the pros behind the bar — get it as espresso in some form or other: americano, latte, or in one of their famous flat whites."

"Bennies for brunch 🍳 When eating out I try to stick to proper food combining for meals. Since restaurant food is usually heavier and richer, following a system that makes it easier to digest helps maintain some balance. ⚖️ Ideally, fruit should be eaten alone and meals should be primarily protein and vegetables or carbohydrates, fats and vegetables."

"Mouth-watering brunch and a New York vibe – Winston has set up their patio for the season!. They have a full espresso bar with different coffee roasters featured, as well as beer and wine. 228 Lonsdale Ave.8AM to 2PM – seven days a weekwinston-on-lonsdale.com"

"A post shared by Glenburn Soda Fountain (@glenburnsoda) on Nov 15, 2019 at 8:13pm PST. This spot is a staple in Metro Vancouver’s ice cream scene. You’ll find ice cream sundaes and classic soda fountain treats throughout Glenburn Soda Fountain’s menu."

"When you look at the menu of ice cream treats at Glenburn Soda Fountain in Burnaby, it’s pretty hard to choose just one. Go with your gut, or get the sampler (and some spoons for sharing). Address: 4090 Hastings Street, Burnaby"
