Just saw someone saying being vegan is racist and akin to being a white supremacist 😂

Plant-based dining is booming across the country – not just in big cities. Mid-sized spots like Victoria, Niagara Falls, Kelowna and Saint John are punching above their weight, with some of the highest vegan restaurant densities anywhere in Canada. Victoria has around 141 vegan spots and nearly 50 per 100,000 people, while Toronto tops the charts with 1,221 vegan/veggie/GF venues but a lower density.

Price matters too. Hamilton is one of the best bargains with average meals around CA$19.85 and strong ratings, while London’s gourmet-leaning scene averages CA$27.56. Victoria sits in the middle at about CA$22.79, with a mix of chill cafés and smarter restaurants.

The guide also shines a spotlight on:

• Vancouver’s huge vegan scene and events like Planted Expo

• Victoria’s relaxed, produce-led favourites like Nourish Kitchen & Café and Be Love

• Toronto’s Vegandale, Fresh, Hogtown Vegan and more

• Montreal classics like Aux Vivres and Lola Rosa serving poutine, smoked “meat” and French-inspired plates

• Tourism-driven hubs like Niagara Falls and Kelowna, with vegan ice cream, burgers and winery tasting menus

• Saint John’s East Coast twists on vegan fish and chips, chowders and “lobster” rolls

You’ll also find tips on festivals, vegan markets, zero-waste shops, hotel options and how Canada’s growing vegan population (around 5%, or 1.77 million people) is reshaping food culture.

You can have a pork sausage, a chicken sausage, and a beef sausage and that’s fine. Chicken burger, beef burger, turkey burger, ostrich burger. You can have turkey bacon. You can have peanut butter, head cheese, coconut milk. Somehow no one is confused by that enough that we need to pass a law against it.

But vegan sausage, burger, bacon, milk??? Ahhh someone not vegan might accidentally eat something that’s probably healthier and cry. If food mislabelling was the problem, we’d separately categorise the aforementioned things

Proponents say move would strengthen position of farmers in supply chain but critics dismiss it as ‘hotdog populism’

✔️ Ensures no animal products, no animal testing.

2. Vegan Trademark (The Vegan Society, UK / EU)

✔️ The word “Vegan” (sometimes just the “V-Trademark”) inside a circle.
✔️ Popular in UK, Europe, Australia.

3. V-Label (European Vegetarian Union)

✔️ Usually a green “V” with a leaf or circle.
✔️ Can mean “vegan” or “vegetarian” — check small print (some are vegetarian only).

4. Australian Certified Vegan

✔️ A stylised “V” or “Certified Vegan” with kangaroo leaf motif.
✔️ Mainly seen in Australian / NZ products.

5. Vegetarian / Ovo-Lacto Symbols (Asia / India)

• Use apps or websites to cross-check logos you don’t recognize.
• Save a photo of these certification logos so you can compare when shopping abroad.
