Vancouver, British Columbia Favorites
Monday, April 14, 2008
Birch Bay, Washington is a wonderful, relaxing place to stroll along the beach in the morning and to go for a country drive in the afternoon, but there aren't many places to eat out. We stayed in a 2 bedroom condominium with a full kitchen so we ate in most of the time. British Columbia, however, is just a few miles away and so are the vegan eateries.
Twice while staying in Birch Bay we drove over the border to eat out and to enjoy the sights and tastes of Vancouver, Canada. Vancouver is a large city with many restaurant choices. But if you don't want to go all the way to Vancouver there is a vegan restaurant just a few miles over the border in Surry, Canada called Mahek. Mahek is an Indian restaurant serving South Indian cuisine and Indian fast food including dosa, idlis, uttapam, chaat papri, golgape. The owner is friendly and willing to create your meal the way you like.
Here are my favorite Vancouver, Vegan-Friendly eateries:
Bo Kong. There are two Bo Kong restaurants in Vancouver and both are worth a visit. One is located at: 8100 Ackroyd Rd, Richmond British Columbia & the other is at: 3068 Main St, Vancouver British Columbia. They feature very tasty Chinese and Buddhist cuisine (photo above is of vegan dim Sum).
Dharma Kitchen at: 3667 West Broadway, Vancouver also serving Chinese and Buddhist Cuisine.
For a great burrito try Budgie's Burritos at 44 Kingsway. All menu items are vegan and very satisfying.
There is also a great raw food vegan restaurant called Gorilla Foods. Everything on the menu is raw including raw pizza, lasagna, chocolate fudge, fresh juices, and more.
Your choices aren't limited to these but these are the one's I recommend. If you have a favorite Vancouver vegan eatery leave a comment and let me know.
