Nanimo Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Just wondering if there are any restaurants that have a good reputation for doing good food that cater pretty well to vegetarian and vegan tastes? I'm not vegetarian myself, but know quite a lot of people who are, (my brother is a vegan) which makes an extra thing to take into account when arranging meals out... So, any recommendations? I seem to remember seeing a veggie cafe in the centre of town near the winter gardens... Though a place that does meat too won't go amiss...

elf Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Blue Moon Cafe next to the Cathedral does the bestest vegan food. Kum Quat Mae down Ecclesfield Road (i think) is meant to be very good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanimo Posted April 13, 2004 Author Share Posted April 13, 2004 Thanks for the recommendations. I guess the difficulty here is in finding a place that can cater equally well to both veg and non-veg people. Especially since I don't want to separate my friends by food preferences...

mimicraze Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Kumquaet Mae (spelling..) is on abbeydale road, next to the spar, and the pizza hut. Have read many reviews, meant to be really good food. mimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Neither of us are vegetarian, but we have dined at Kumquat Mae several times because the food and atmosphere is just so. I have never tried it, but once a month they have a Japanese or special menu that comes highly recommended also. If you do go to Kumquat Mae, then mention the forum!

pacman Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I am a vegan and have been to all of those places. They all do vegan dishes, it depends what you're after really. If you want a quick meal (lunch) then Blue Moon or Olive Garden is a good bet. Olive Garden isn't as big as Blue Moon so may be busy. For an evening meal Kumquat Mae is great.

noseyrosie Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Blue Moon is impossibly full at peak times, but went yesterday for the third time, not too full as it was about 2pm. Hommity pie...yummity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanimo Posted April 14, 2004 Author Share Posted April 14, 2004 Actually, the name Kumquat Mae sounds really interesting... is it a chinese restaurant? Thanks for all ther recommendations, people. But as I said, I'd like to have a place I could take veggie and non veggie people... a normal restaurant that does very good vegetarian food, without having to "cobble something together"... Having said that, I think I'll probably have a go at Kumquat Mae anyway.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
