Here are some new additions to VRG’s guide:

Alice

40 Adeline St.

Ottawa, ON K1S 3L3 Canada

From the mind of Chef Briana Kim, Alice is an upscale vegan restaurant with beautifully plated dishes which you’ll find nowhere else. Call well in advance for reservations. This would be great for a date night, or for special occasions which call for something more high-end.

Foodhisattva

2158 South Taylor Rd.

Cleveland Heights, OH 44118

Here we have a vegan pop-up that’s decided to settle down. Located in Cleveland Heights, Foodhisattva serves American food with a Asian twist, like their Bangkok Tacos, Bulgogi Cheesesteak, and Chick’n Katsu Sando. You can follow them on Facebook or Instagram as well to get updates about their specials.

Fork My Life

6558 Gateway Ave.

Sarasota, FL 34231

Fork My Life is both a vegan cafe and a vegan bakery, which is great for those of us looking for something both savory and sweet. The menu includes hot sandwiches like the grilled cheeze or chick’n parm sandwich, small plates like mac and cheeze and loaded nachos, and a variety of cupcakes and cookies too numerous to list. They also have custom smoothies, and even vegan milkshakes! They even sell artisan vegan meats and cheeses.

Plant Matter Café

717 Richmond St.

London, ON Canada N6A 3H1

A restaurant’s name doesn’t always clearly communicate what you’ll find there, but it does at Plant Matter Café. Entrees include classic cafe fare like Cubano sandwiches, cobb salads, and avocado toasts. The drinks are what make this cafe stand out, however. It’s not just coffee that’s available, but also juice shots, smoothies, and a full bar.

The Boombox Bakeshop

520 Adelaide St.

London, ON N6B 3J4 Canada

The Boombox Bakeshop is a vegan bakery offering daily cupcakes and special order cupcakes and cakes. Flavor options abound, from your basic chocolate and vanilla, to lemon lavender, maple pecan, and more! Plenty of gluten free options are available as well.

Urban Beets Kitchen and Juice Bar

5616 Olde Wadsworth Blvd.

Arvada, CO 80002

The menu rotates daily at Urban Beets, an eclectic vegan restaurant and juice bar. There are a few regular items (there’s often an avocado toast du jour), but what’s available depends more on what’s in stock. Prior entrees have included kung pao, tempeh riblets, roasted cauliflower and mushroom fajitas, wet-style breakfast burritos, and on and on. They also have beer and cocktails, including vegan Bloody Marys. Check them out if you’re looking for something a bit different.
