Top spots for vegetarian food in Kitsilano

Top spots for vegetarian food in Kitsilano

The brainchild of Buddhist Tommy Cao, who stepped away from a career in finance to open Dharma Kitchen, this community-based, vegan restaurant has become a neighbourhood favourite. Dishes include dharma miso soup, dragon salad with grilled tofu, tempeh burgers, and mega protein dishes. The heat in Dharma Kitchen’s lovingly made curries matches the bright red walls of this simple space, and are a must-try for newcomers.

Guilt-free eating: Vancouver health food restaurants

Owned by a devout Buddhist, Dharma Kitchen brings a philosophy of good will and good karma to each of its vegan dishes. The menu is abundant with fresh, hearty salads, tempeh burgers, wholesome rice bowls and tofu entrees. Its location in Kitsilano aligns nicely with the neighbourhood’s hippy roots and healthy outlook. The small space is both vibrant and peaceful, its red walls a successful juxtaposition with the tranquil Buddhas, its world music soundtrack pleasantly bouncing off bamboo screens.
