revolushuneyz Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Hey Lena, I'm in Ottawa. I don't need a roommate but I could direct you to neighbourhoods and restaurants. My opinion is that the Green Door and the Table are garbage, over priced stuff that I'd make at home. But they are very popular. Govinda's = amazing (cheap and delish, but it's the same food every day and run by a religion)Perfection Satisfaction Promise = awesome (a little pricey, but the best quality food in the city, and run by a religion). They also have the best vegan deserts in the city, hands down.Wild Oat (organic bakery and sandwich/coffee joint) = awesome. good sandwiches and amazing deserts. everything is labeled.Bread and Sons bakery (organic) = best vegan pumpking muffin in the city and best vegan cookies (imo, but that is highly controversial). Apparently they have vegan pizza at lunch.Saigon Pho = they have lots of vegan food, all with seitan (only place in the city that i know of). the food is acceptable, but very saucy.So Good = the most highly praised veg*-friendly "chinese" restaurant. It's not "traditional" but it's all delicious and cheap. And you can just ask about vegan food.Ceylonta = pricey but awesome Sri Lanken food. you can just ask the server what is vegan and they will tell you.Eri Cafe = cheap vegan eritrean food. epicly amazing.Horn of Africa = cheap vegan ethiopean food. not as good as the Eri but more popular due to location.The Manx = best pub in the city, and has vegan food and booze on the menu. A MUST TRY. It's a upb with quality food (brown rice, smoked tofu, and all that. but also the best fries in the city).Pancho Villa = it's half-decent tex mex. well-priced and the servers/cooks know what "I'm vegan" means.Ahora = best mexican joint in town. Herb and Spice = organic grocery store. over-priced but organic and tons of vegan food.Rainbow Foods = same idea. There are a million other places, so feel free to PM me when you know what area you'll be in, for specifics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pamela Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Lena is joining me and another roommate, who is about 99% vegan. I am so excited about having an eco- vegan- household! We are going to have so much fun! We will rival our Portland counterpart for best vegan mini-commune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lena01 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 We'll be moving a bit away from Portland to Ottawa the concentration of vegan households. Vegan Canadian homes rock!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
