Graze (Vegetarian/Vegan/Gluten Free Restaurant)

By

Graze opened in the old Fray location last year, a little after the wave of vegetarian restaurants opened in Vancouver – The Parker, Heirloom, and The Acorn. It was more rustic and homestyle than the others and the menu is very allergy friendly with vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options.

Burdock & Co. (Fall Menu – Vancouver)

By

Her vision of “meat and potatoes” and basic dishes are inspiring and she still offers good variety. While I would not re-order every course, it left me something to come back for and recommend.
