Hi, I am an Asian vegetarian. Is vegetarian food available in UBC? How about the neighborhoods of UBC, Vancouver for veggy food. Thanks for the replies.
You won’t have any problem finding veggie food at UBC or in Vancouver. The city is known as the most ‘hippie’ area in Canada.
Dorm cafeterias have entrees in meat and veggie versions, there are salad bars and sandwich making stations so you can personalize your food. On campus there are a lot of vendors that serve vegetarians. For Asian veggie food, there are lots of family run small grocery stores on Broadway and 10th St that are easily accessible on the bus to get Asian vegetables and tofu, etc. There’s a restaurant on 10th St called ‘the Naam’ which is vegan, and plenty more sround the city’s older and gentrified communities. There are also several Buddhist temples in the greater Vancouver area if you want to go for that type of veggie meal. Almost every restaurant in Vancouver has veggie options. I graduated from UBC many years ago… I still miss the variety of food in Vancouver. It’s definitely one of the best things about the city.
Thank you for you guidance. Much appreciated
