Bar Haifi is located on the first floor of the coolest building in Vancouver at the corner of Homer and West Georgia (Sorry. No picture. Go see it!). And how is it that I have never noticed this building? It is fairly new but don't we pass by there from time to time? Anyway, when it opened, I read about Bar Haifa and messaged them to ask if the items on their menu that seemed to be plant-based are really plant-based as they weren't labelled as such? They assured me that they could feed a couple of hungry vegans. So they made it onto my list but we just didn't get there for a while. Then suddenly, "This is Plant Curious" messaged everyone to ask if they would be interested in a deal here. Well, of course!
Yes! We're Eating Vegan Again!

Sweet Cherubim Restaurant - Vegan/Vegetarian Menu
One of the OGs of Vancouver vegan/vegetarian restaurants, Sweet Cherubim has been a part of the Commercial Drive scene (near Napier Street) since 1980. With their grocery store adjacent and leaning organic and fair trade, they certainly have filled a niche, while not being ethically vegan.
Sangham Restaurant & Catering - Vegan Options
How did we end up way out in Mission? I've mentioned before that sometimes my search plan is to type "vegan" into Google Maps over a specific area. Since we're often in Abbotsford, Mission encroaches into my "vegan" searches. When I checked the website of Sangham Restaurant (in Mission), they indeed had a vegan section on their menu!
Vogue Cakes - Vegan Bakery
Worth a field trip! We got up early (for a Sunday) and made the trip especially to visit Vogue Cakes, all the way from Aldergrove. Don't worry as we drive an electric car and so our carbon footprint remains low. Anyway, that was our total Sunday adventure and we went crazy at Vogue Cakes.
Maple Thai Cuisine - Vegan Options
We've been here and posted before but this little local (and when I say local, I mean Aldergrove) Thai place manages to give space on their menu to a vegan section and I believe that deserves our support. As much as I kind of believe that I am the only vegan in a 20 square mile area, I know that is not true and if no one else ordered from vegan menus, they would disappear. So for the 10 or so people who actually read this blog, I want to remind you about Maple Thai Cuisine on 272nd just north of Fraser Hwy.
The Burrow - Vegan / Vegetarian Restaurant
We haven't been to The Burrow since the days when it was still Bandidas Tacqueria in Veganuary of 2021. I don't know if it is fully the same ownership, but things have not changed greatly as far as the interior and exterior of the restaurant. The menu has changed from fully vegan to vegan/vegetarian. I can't make any excuses for vegetarians who contribute to animal suffering in the dairy industry in a large way but I am not up to making a fuss about a restaurant doing what it has to to survive. If adding dairy to the menu helps this restaurant stay viable then at least my wife and I can still enjoy vegan Mexican-style food here.

Parsley Berliner Doner Kabob, Brentwood - Vegan Options
Of the 4 words in the name of this place in the Amazing Brentwood food court, only the Parsley conjures up thoughts of any possible vegan eats. Figuring out that they were serving Turkish-style food led me to believe that falafel might be available at the very least and they deserved a closer look.
