VIHC.net VAN ISLE HARDCORE BOARD

What's everyone's favorite veggie/vegan spots to eat, and where's everyone go for late night chow?

Lotus Pond, Ferris', The Reef, The Joint, Red Fish/Blue Fish in the summer,Green Cuisine has wicked baked goods, shitty food, and Pink Sugar makes Vegan cupcakes I would literally kill someone for.

Late night? Alzus Alzus Alzus.

Blue Fox Cafe is excellent for breakfast. Kitty's Cafe is a great greasy spoon, and they always used to accomodate my friends weird or restrictive dietary habits. Sabri's Buffet is fan-fucking-tastic and usually has 6 vegetarian dishes, not to mention naan, pakora, kebob, etc. I am heavily addicted to the closely related Naanwich ("potato pea naanwich, make it hot") and their lentil soup is delicious. East Garden is my favourite chinese place to order from. Village's pizza soy cheese pizza trumps every other soy cheese pizza I've ever had, including the Joint which is over-priced and over-rated in my opinion (no beef with my friends that work there.) +1 for the Reef! Ferris' used to be way better, and used to use soy cheese (don't know if they still do). Oh maaaaaaaan the Carribean Cafe on quadra near hillside is triple-A indoor.

My favourite place to eat at night? My place, my partner and I fucking rip it up in the kitchen!

Late night, yes. Vegan, no. Wendy's used to have an ok selection of veggie choices until PETA got on them and then they took 99% of the veggie options off their menu.

Don Mee, Ferris', Brick Yard, Sabri, Hernandez, Red Fish Blue Fish, Floydds

I don't really eat out much, I guess.

I'm posting non vegan places as well because I like meat and stuff... here are some places I like to eat:

Purple Garden
The Reef
Lotus Pond
Maude Hunters on wing night (wednesday)
Wendy's
Pho Hoa
The Forum
Ferris'
Tropical Island

I saw this thread about food and got excited, but then I read it and realized I have nothing to contribute.
...I like my meat.

canoe and swans, but ya i'm down w/ meat so i dont know if either is really that vegan/vegetarian friendly
canoe has killer yam fries though

portions are to small at the reef.

ferris' and pagliacci' are my 2 favorite resturants

I wouldnt know much about vegan food but Willa goes to ferris' sometimes

hernandez burritors are basically the biggest thing i miss about victoria, 2nd being all ages hardcore shows.
ferris' has a really good nut buger, and if you want to try a bunch of different stuff i like the vegan buffet at green cuisine most times, if not just for the brown rice sushi and foccacia bread. also blue fox even though someone has already said almost all of these. 2nd'd!

basically everything listed in here i back and have been too

Might add
Pho Vi
The Mint (yes i do enjoy this place. i know a lot of haters for this place)

I missed the part about this being for veggie/vegan places. I eat tons of meat. I guess the best vegan spot is Lotus Pond. And it's cheap. It pretty much rules. Somebody should go there with me next week after I get paid.

I agree with Troy on the Mint being awesome too.

I'm pretty sure both have food that can be made vegan if it isn't already. I've only drank at both places though, so don't quote me.

if you like ethnic food, siam on fort has amazinggg thai. and basically anything Willa said as well.

don't worry, the dude at the drive through window assured me its prepared vegan.

no no i think its actually kosher, not vegan though.

I've been veggie for two years and still haven't eaten at Green Cuisine.

with all this taco tuesday talk, how has no one said Taco Time?

What the fuck is Broco Taco really called? La Fiesta?
