Whether you’ve always been vegetarian, newly trying out Meatless Mondays, or just looking to incorporate ways to eat more greens, there’s never been a better time than now with the growing popularity of plant-based eateries around town. While omnivorous restaurants are adding more veg-forward options to their menus, we’ll keep this list purely to vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Vancouver.
