Cafe by Tao

Raw food can frequently be hit or miss, but Tao Organics do it brilliantly at their mostly-raw cafĆ©. They recently moved to Esplanade West, where they serve up delicious raw dishes such as crepes, wraps, sandwiches, and cheesecakes. Unusual for most raw food options, there really isnāt a bad item on the menu and everything is absolutely bursting with flavour.

Heirloom

The latest branch of the classic W 12th hipster brunch spot, this Ambleside restaurant is just as good as its sister. This lighter, more modern restaurant features a very similar menu, and fortunately also offers the famous weekday brunch menu! The Heirloom Hash and Heirloom Burger are the dishes to try. With mimosas, of course.

With a Japanese-focused menu, this North Vancouver staple offers a cafƩ as well as a market selling fresh, frozen and ready-to-go salads. Very focused on the high quality of their products and dishes, must-try menu items are the delicious Spicy Tan Tan Ramen and the Kyoto Style Udon.

Green Moustache

You might have heard of Green Moustache already. With several locations in Whistler and Squamish, as well as their own vending machine (which seems quite the feat), they offer incredibly fresh, nutrient-dense cuisines such as Raw Pad Thai and Buddha Bowls. That said, they also have luxuriously decadent (but still healthy) desserts. Try the Chocolate Avocado Tart and the Caramel Date Square. You wonāt be sorry.Ā

Glory Juice

Glory Juice is a staple in the city.

Completely vegan aside from bee products in some items, favourite menu items include the Breakfast Toast (with nut butter, banana, and cinnamon) and the Warm & Hearty Bowl (quinoa, lentils, soup and massaged kale).

The only non-vegan/vegetarian restaurant on this list, Bluhouse Market and CafĆ© deserves a mention due to its extensive vegan menu options and for the fact that it stocks items from local vegan producers such as Blue Heron Cheese and Say Hello Sweets. Their range of crepes with vegan-options is incredible, particularly the Forage (mushrooms, pesto, and tomatoes), and youāll find it difficult to resist their huge selection of freshly-baked vegan-friendly muffins and cookies.
