Halifax's roster of vegan restaurants is growing fast, but enVie is one of the first and best. It serves exactly the kind of food you'd want: delicious homemade soups, crunchy pear and arugula salads, loaded flatbreads, and imaginative non-meat versions of cheeseburgers, wings, tacos and pad thai (thanks to the miracles of tofu, seitan and oyster mushrooms).
