It doesn’t get any better than this for people watching. An awesome mix of Venice freaks and Hollywood actor/model types frequent this place, especially for weekend breakfasts, and there’s usually some fabulous acoustic music by boardwalk musicians to accompany your meal of nuclear pancakes, tofu rancheros or spinach nut burger.

Always lined up on the weekend, but chill - you’re in Venice - service is fast and the food is always worth a short wait. I love this place because it’s a 5-minute walk down (more…)

This is New York’s first solar-powered eco-eatery, serving home-style Latin food, and I wanna go! Habana Outpost was created by artist and entrepreneur Sean Meenan, a man on a mission to bring community together in a creative, sustainable, happening place serving up conscious cuisine and eco education. It doesn’t get any greener than this in the business world. Habana Outpost is cosmically insane!

The solar panel awning out front provides more than enough energy for the restaurant and what they don’t use, they sell back to the grid - but this place goes (more…)

Way, way up north beyond any organic culinary expectations, in Whitehorse in the Yukon Territories, where road food rules and caribou burgers dominate local menus, is a warm and friendly place you can get a hearty bowl of organic vegetarian soup worth the 1500 kilometre drive up the Alaska Highway.

Alpine Bakery is like a surprise mother lode of gold in a coal mine. The first time I pulled in, in 2005 after an excruciatingly long and cold ride up the Alaska Highway, I couldn’t believe my luck when I stumbled upon this place. Owner, Suat Tuzlak, (more…)

Little Tibet is my absolute favourite place to eat in my neighbourhood in Toronto on Queen St. West amidst the designer clothing boutiques and happenin night clubs.

It’s also the most perfectly music supervised restaurant in the city with relaxing and ethereal tones in the background easing your digestion of fabulous veggie mo-mos and red lentil soup.

In the middle of nowhere at the convergence of two major highways, two national railways and the Thompson River in rural southern BC tucked in to nature is a blip of a place called Spences Bridge. The town consists of a bridge and a magical little place called The Inn at Spences Bridge where out of the blue you can get vegetarian comfort food. I had a homemade chili with a hearty slice of multigrain bread that warmed me to the core on a rainy ride last summer. I took cookies and muffins to go. It was awesome. Go. Eat. Enjoy.

Yes! There is a large enough vegetarian population in Amsterdam to sustain a few fully veg restaurants. After you’ve been lost all day in the labyrinthian cobbled streets along countless canals, you’ll want to recharge with great food and refuel with organic beer at De Bolhoed.

Easily the best meal I had in a week in Amsterdam was here. It’s one of Amsterdam’s oldest and most popular vegetarian restaurants with casual canal-side dining, at Princengracht and Princenstraat. Reserve in advance because this place fills up! (more…)
