A hip vegan eatery that lures many carnivores with an array of meaty-seeming comfort-grub classics that emulate the flavors and textures of burgers, chicken and more. The Yaletown branch of this Vancouver mini-chain is often busy with chatty diners – which can mean waiting for peak-time tables. If you're starving, go for the bulging crispy barbecue burger or butter 'chicken' poutine.

The fries are excellent here but the main menu isn't just about fake meat dishes. The heaping salads (beet recommended) and satisfying huge rice bowls are justifiably popular, while there's also a good selection of BC craft beers to slide into.
