Vancouver
Vancouver's quirkiest vegetarian resto-bar serves meat-free burgers and smokies that carnivores love just as much. Coconut 'bacon' and veggie 'pulled pork' underscore the comfort food approach, and 'vegan-possible' dishes are marked on the menu. There's a Twin Peaks campsite ambience, especially if you snag a cabin-like booth. Dive into the BC craft beers or descend into the huge cocktail menu.
There's an excellent late-night vibe, especially on weekends.
