Enjoy the Greenery: Metro Vancouver Veggie Burgers To Add To Your Grill Order

A good burger is a special type of comfort food. There’s something instantly familiar about a perfectly assembled stack of ingredients, with a hand-packed patty, and a few well-placed artistic flourishes. Of course, the same principles apply to a strong veggie burger… even more so, if you ask us! The patty must be carefully curated with fresh and hearty ingredients that aren’t simply trying to masquerade as a regular burger. To make each component truly sing, it takes a skilled chef who isn’t concerned about making a replacement for meat. The following local burgers are their own thing, that stand in NO shadow.

House Made Veggie Burger at The LOCAL public eatery – Vancouver This impressively stacked burger is…

Holiday Bites & Market Delights on Granville Island

Vancouver is well into the holiday spirit at this point, with trees across the city lit, and the smell of freshly baked, cinnamon-dusted treats of all kinds wafting from local cafes and bakeries. It’s a lot for the senses to take in at once (especially if your heart hasn’t grown three sizes just yet), so we suggest starting at one of the city’s premier destinations for eating, drinking, AND being merry. While you might first picture Granville Island on a pristine summer’s day, the winter season reveals a fresh and brisk side that you might not be familiar with…it also happens to be one of the ultimate food destinations in the country. So hop on a ferry taxi and ride across waters twinkling with reflecting lights, it’s time to start your holiday feasting a bit early this year! Stuart’s Bakery Well known for their large array of fresh pastries,…
