Vancouver Cheap Eats: Vegetarian

Whether you’re vegetarian or omnivore, there’s no denying that veggie dishes are often filling, packed full of flavour, and downright delicious.

With so many restaurants in Vancouver specializing in vegetarian cuisine, we’ve narrowed it down to five spots where you’ll find some of the best dishes for $10 or less.

A long time favourite on Commercial Drive, Bandidas serves vegetarian Mexican dishes. Fill up with a breakfast burrito from their all-day breakfast menu, or mix and match 3 tacos for $8.50. New this summer, don’t miss their food truck on West Georgia Street from Monday to Friday!

Open 24 hours in the heart of Kitsilano, The Naam has been serving vegetarian meals around the clock since 1968.

Or go for breakfast and try the popular Croissant Witch, now available vegan as well!
