Perfect place for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters. Great place for my family and I to eat so it can cater to everyone. Love this place can't recommend it enough.
Here for the second time today and we fell in love :) great vegan (and omni) poutine, awesome vegan pina colada and now we're just waiting for probably even more awesome burgers and sandwiches. Might come back tomorrow for the vegan Mac n cheese before heading back home � totally recommend this place for anyone who wants to go a bit further off the downtown tourist rush into more alternative settings �

This is a popular diner located on Main Street, right near Broadway. They have a menu, a large portion of which are vegetarian/vegan, although they do also have meat dishes for carnivores like myself. I had their Canuck Burger with Fries. The burger itself was quite good - I quite enjoyed their meat patty - the fries were strangely dry, however. The prices are a little on the higher side. The food took a while to come out, but the server was quite warm and friendly. While the diner didn't blow me away, I think it's worth a visit, especially if you're vegetarian/vegan.
The Canuck Burger and Fries ($16):
3.5/5
This contained bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, and mushrooms, and comes with your choice of pork & beef patty, grilled chicken breast, or beyond burger patty. I, of course, had the pork & beef patty. The burger wasn't particularly large in size, but still pretty satisfying. Although the patty was a little dry and charred on the exterior, it was very tender and juicy on the inside. The bacon provided a great bit of saltiness. The fries were crispy, but strangely dry.
Summary:
Food: 3.5/5
Price: 3.5/5
Service: 4/5
Overall: 3.5/5
Recommendations: Burgers
This is a really beautiful restaurant as the interior design is quite unique and definitely adds a lot of character. The service is really polite and friendly and truly cares about your needs (especially since you can get anything turned vegan or vegetarian). I really enjoyed my eggs benedict and tried to not be so critical to other places I had had since I wanted to try the way that they made it. It was truly wonderful and I was full, the prices were very reasonable and I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
140 characters summary: I can't wait to come back to try the rest of their menu. Must try their peanut butter syrup. . I frequent Main St. quite often and I've never been to The Wallflower. To be honest, the first time I heard about it was fairly recent so when my friend Meredith suggested that we go there, I was down.
Location : 99 B-line bus to Main street (Vancouver)
Ambience: loved d wall paintings (apparently you can buy them if you like them)
Food: Best place for vegetarians/ vegans. The Moroccan wrap with red kidney beans stuffing served with soup of the day( which is amazing) is so good !
The vegan cheesecake has a coconut base which I loved the most being a coconut lover .
The Thai kinda veggie dish served with ur choice of bread is not bad !
May seem a bit pricey but food is worth it !

Mount Pleasant is a super hip and happening area and Wallflower Diner contributes well to the entire scene. Once again, I had heard about them on You Gotta Eat Here! and have been looking forward to trying them out ever since.
We visited early on a Friday evening and the place wasn’t too busy. Their purple neon sign makes them unmistakable to find! The space is simple and cool with a neat black and white floral mural on one side. Our server was friendly and the overall vibe of the restaurant is that it’s a casual spot that is welcoming to everyone. (By “everyone” they mean omnivores, carnivores, vegans, vegetarians, and celiacs - there is delicious, edible food for everyone!) It’s a great place to keep note of if you have friends of varying diets.
We sat near the front in a booth by the window and began to look over the appetizing menu. I noticed right away that the music was really, really good. It was all upbeat and fun stuff from the 80s and 90s. I started with a Caesar (Vodka, clamato, worcestershire and tobasco - $6.00) to drink. This was a really good straight forward caesar. It tasted great and had a nice kick to it. I liked the seasoning on the glass rim and I loved the garnish of two giant olives. They also offer a vegan version made with tomato juice instead of clamato.
On the show I saw them make the Meatloaf Wellington (Meatloaf, bacon, puff pastry, vegetables, mashed potatoes, gravy - $16.00) and was instantly sold on trying it. However, there is a bunch of stuff on the menu that I would be very interested in ordering in the future; such as the Beef Stroganoff and Grandma’s Fried Chicken. Plus they serve brunch every day until 4pm and I am totally down for that! Meatloaf wrapped in bacon wrapped in pastry can only be a good thing. They make the meatloaf with ground beef and pork, ketchup, pickles (yes!), hot sauce, coffee, and pickle juice (double yes!), among other things. Then they wrap the loaf in bacon and wrap that in pastry... And I can’t think of much else that sounds more delicious than that. Thankfully, it tasted just as good as TV made it sound. The meatloaf itself was tender and super flavourful. The pickle flavour completely came through in a delightful but not overpowering way (although let’s face it, there would have been no such thing as “too much” for me). It was all balanced so well between the meats, vegetables and sauces involved in this creation. The bacon was crisp and so was the light golden pastry. The textures were so excellent and I would absolutely order this again. Plus the sides that were included were fresh and tasty as well. Loved!
In the mood for dessert, we chose the Waffle Banana Split (Gluten free waffle, fried banana, peanut butter syrup and 2 scoops of Say Hello Sweets coconut ice cream - $10.00). I also really liked the sound of the Ice Cream Sandwich (made with a peanut butter chocolate cookie) and will probably try that next time. All I needed to hear was “fried banana.” And “peanut butter syrup” didn’t hurt either. The best part was the fried banana for sure, all warm and caramelized. The ice cream was very nice and certainly didn’t seem to be missing anything in the dairy department (even though it’s dairy-free). I found the waffle a little dry and lackluster, but the sauce punched things up a lot. A good dessert to share.
I really liked this place. It’s a cool and cozy neighbourhood joint. The use of pickles in this place is A+. I like their interesting food ideas and the prices are reasonable as well. It’ll certainly be at the top of my list when I need a place that is accommodating to various types of diets. No bland food in sight here!
Only vegan restaurant I would eat at. I must say, the food and service here was great, by far the best vegan food I have ever tried. I found the burger and vegan chili fries to taste perfect! Like a little broccoli man dancing about in your man. If vegan food isn't your thing, they do offer non vegan food and those were quite good as well. Cheers!
The car-free day on Main Street drove us further from our intended vegan destination. I truly believe that such days actually increase oil consumption and gas emission, instead of its intent to decrease it. Especially by those who know not of it, circulating the neighbourhood trying to find parking and getting caught up in additional traffic congestion. This was my case. And being stalled in two pile ups had us travelling further down Main Street destination, towards downtown. (Majority of the vegan friendly restaurants seem to be located on Main.)
I actually wandered in here once before, months ago, just for a drink while waiting for a ride. I had no idea I stumbled upon a GF gem until yesterday! I googled the place and not realised it was the same one until I walked in. The atmosphere was fantastic and so inviting, even despite my being by myself and certainly one to not enjoy solo outings. I had the salmon benny and a side of poutine. For one, all salmon bennies should have capers, and the Wallflower got this right. But more importantly, GF poutine!! Having a frier for just fries, and using cornstarch rather than wheat flour should be commonplace everywhere because it yields better results - GF or not - so thank you Wallflower, you have seen the light. I'm going back, hopefully soon, and definitely with friends next time!
A cute little place that is consistently busy. Service is friendly and quick. The breakfast poutine was delicious and quite a large portion. We tried the raspberry pie (all their desserts come from the Sunflower Gluten Free Bakery) and were not fans. Our server asked for our feedback and did not charge us for the pie which was very professional and kind. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd highly recommend checking it out!
Great brunch bennies, and super hospitable staff. I feel this place is known for its vegetarian/vegan options (which I don't doubt are great), but there were also a lot of dishes with meat so don't hesitate if you want to try this place as all are welcome here.
Went here for brunch. Was a good vibe inside. Unfortunately our food didn't come out hot, which was disappointing as the flavours were tasty and would have been even better. But a nice spot with lots of tasty menu options.
AMAZING. Love this place, perfect for celiac, vegan and vegetarian. The portions are a bit small but the prices are really cheap! Maximum is probably 20$ for an entree. And happy hour is 3-close every day! Lovely staff :)
I’m surprised to read the view previous to mine had such a bad experience. This was my 3rd time visiting this place and I’ve always had great service! They staff is super friendly! All the GF options are great for all my friends that are celiac. The food here is also great. Good portions! Just look at the chicken club sandwich I had, a thick juicy piece of breast in it!! But on the other hand my fries were soggy. Not a big deal though.
My go to spot for brunch to then go onto happy hour. Vegan friendly and also choices of meats so good for all peoppe! And they've got the best mugs ever. Also nice vibe and nice art on the wall! Definitely reccomend!
Loved the vibe and drinks. The mac and cheese surprised me! Didn't realize it was vegan until I started eating it and definitely didn't taste cheese - I don't know what the alternative was but it was tasty! Will be back during my next trip.
