The Acorn has more or less become the measuring stick for vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Vancouver. After all, it did nab the top spot in a global list of the best vegan-friendly restaurants in the world a couple of years back. Plus, they’ve just introduced a brand new curbside patio which makes this a top spot to check out during the summer months!

HEIRLOOM
Alright, while this may not be a fully vegan restaurant, we’d say it comes pretty dang close. Makin’ a stop in here anytime could get you a delicious vegan meal, but we’d extra recommend hitting ‘em up for brunch!
