Chomp has packed up from their Fraser Street spot and moved into new digs on Hastings, where they are doing dine-in and take-out along with meal delivery service. They've got great grub, but their Rollercoaster Bowl (quinoa, spinach, beetroot, carrots, seasoned chickpeas, dried tart cranberries, zucchini spirals, sprouts) is a beautiful fresh heaping of veggie goodness.
Address: 2234 East Hastings Street

Looks like smoked salmon (lox) but...it's definitely not. Vancouver is crushing hard on Roots & Fruit's carrot-as-lox toast, made with smoked carrot lox, dill cashew cheese, raw onion, capers, and nori.

With a light, airy texture, Cartems has rolled out a new treat that stands out from the pack, and, as a wonderful bonus, these Cinnamon Buns happen to also be vegan. Sweet! They make the buns with their yeast dough, using a thin layer of coconut oil to meld the dough and cinnamon sugar mixture. They use their house caramel, and top the buns with chopped pecans.

Hafla isn't a dish, it's a way of eating, and it's one incredible way to stuff your face with Mediterranean vegan eats. Each person at the table picks a main, which comes with an array of sides like salad, hummus, and chickpea fries. Plus you get a bunch of sides for the table--things like baba ganoush, beet salad, pickled veg, and more. An absolute must-have feast.
