A new vegetarian directory lists over 100 restaurants, businesses and organizations in the Vancouver area.
It is available online at http://www.earthsave.ca/vegdirectory and is also being distributed to local tourist outlets and hotels.
Restaurants range from Greens and Gourmet on West Broadway -- described in the directory as the city's oldest and largest vegetarian buffet (homemade desserts include vegan cheesecake) -- to Radha on Main Street in the eastside, a centre for yoga as well as vegetarian food.
There's also Naam, a Vancouver institution on West 4th Avenue with a garden patio and serving nachos, enchiladas and fries with miso gravy.
Retailers include Anna's Sauerkraut-O, which sells organic fermented sauerkraut made according to a Slovakian recipe.
In North Vancouver, the Rebellious Tomato Organic Gourmet Pizza offers several vegetarian, organic pizzas and vegan cheese. Iskcon in Burnaby provides "karma-free" organic meals.
As well, beach concessions sell veggie burgers and tofu dogs.
