KB&CO
Casual conscious eats is the mantra at KB&CO. This quick-casual was one of the first vegan restaurants to sprout up in the core, so it has dedicated customers queuing up all day long. They make your standard wraps and salads but there’s nothing standard about the taste. Everything is exploding with flavour from the tahini and beet wrap to our favourite, the Nori Glory salad loaded with mixed greens, coconut rice, red pepper, cucumber, nori, avocado and micro-greens. Stop by in the morning for oat and hemp seed berry waffles, or a delicious smoothie. 10224 104 Street
Copper Branch
Canadian quick-casual Copper Branch will satisfy committed vegans with its approachable menu that might even fool meat eaters. But make no mistake, the burgers, chili, soup and power bowls are 100 percent plant-based. The spicy black bean burger is a hearty affair, but it’s worth ordering the buffalo wings to taste the range of Copper Branch dishes. 10316 Jasper Avenue
