The Best Vegetarian and Vegan Restaurants in Halifax, Nova Scotia

This is not your stereotypical “crunchy granola” vegan spot. Come here for creative gourmet dishes, like their cauliflower steak, double-bacon cheeseburger, charcuterie boards and pulled jackfruit tacos. You can also enjoy snacks from their take-out fridge and detox with their juice cleanses! Vegans and non-vegans love coming here for their delicious brunch, lunch and dinner menus.

The original veg friendly spot in the city, Heartwood has been serving up wholesome vegetarian food since 1995. Come here for organic vegan and vegetarian meals or stop in for a tea, smoothie or vegan dessert. During the summer months, they also run a stall on the Halifax waterfront.

Raw foodies will love the fresh, mostly raw meals and snacks served up at Springhouse! In addition to their healthy and delicious bites, including the carrot cake smoothie, power porridge and burger bowl, Springhouse offers cooking classes, workshops and insanely amazing desserts. Their storefront is takeout only, but it is located in the Halifax Seaport Market so plenty of seating is available.

Balance all those seafood dishes and meals out with some greens at The Juice Press. With two locations downtown, their menu offers a large selection of raw juices, smoothies, chia puddings and salads.

This homey spot offers delicious vegan comfort food at their cozy West End location. Breakfast is served until 4 p.m., they have a large juice list, and menu items include apple pie pancakes, sesame ginger seitan bites, buffalo burgers and penne cauliflower alfredo.

With a focus on environmental awareness and organic local ingredients, The Wooden Monkey has become very popular amongst vegan locals since it opened its doors in 2003. While it is neither fully vegan or vegetarian, it does offer quite a large plant-based menu selection.

This cute vegan spot offers healthy bites from its bright and airy café. Located above its herb and natural products store, come here for all-day breakfast, smoothies and hearty plates, like the garlic tofu bowl and donair plate.
