Top Five Plant-Based Restaurants in Edmonton

May 2, 2019 By Kari 3 Comments

plant-based restaurants in Edmonton-1More and more plant-based restaurants and cafes are popping up in Edmonton, and we couldn’t be happier about it! Like many of you, we’re trying to incorporate more vegetarian options into our family meal plans. That includes dining out and ordering in. Here are five spots you need to check out!

#1: Kanu Cafe

Location:

10803 Jasper Ave, Downtown Edmonton.

History:

Kanu Cafe opened in September 2018. It’s part of celebrity chef Matthew Kenny’s global plant-based brand, and the first Kenny-inspired restaurant in Canada. It is unique to Edmonton, and locally owned.

Most popular item on the menu:

The Spicy Udon Noodles with pink oyster mushrooms, cashew hoisin, spicy greens, Tōgarashi, and roasted cashews. The Spring Gnocchi is very popular as well: hand-made gnocchi with a pistachio nettle cream sauce, peas, pea shoots & pea tendrils, topped with lemon zest & sunflower parmesan.

#2: kb&co

plant-based restaurants in Edmonton-4

Location:

Two in Edmonton: 10224 104 Street (Fox One Tower) downtown, and 5244 Windermere Blvd, Southside. Three new kb&co locations will be opening this summer in Calgary, Kelowna, and St. Albert.

History:

kb&co opened in June 2016, and is the passion project of Kristina Botelho. It’s a fascinating story of challenging beginnings and perseverance. Listen to Kristina’s interview on The Inner Circle here. The menu highlights local and organic ingredients.

Most popular item on the menu:

Hands down the coconut BLT!

#3: Sweet Pea Cafe & Playhouse

plant-based restaurants in Edmonton-6

Location:

14328 85 Ave, West End.

History:

Sweet Pea Cafe & Playhouse opened on August 7, 2018. Sweetpea is co-owned by Olympic figure skating gold medalist (and beloved Edmontonian) Jamie Sale  It’s a plant-based cafe on one side with the coolest playhouse ever on the other. A great spot for lunch or to meet a mom friend for a latte while your kids play.

Most popular item(s) on the menu:

Grilled cheese, cheesy pasta (pictured), and most definitely the cinnamon buns.

#4: Noorish

plant-based restaurants in Edmonton-8

Location:

8440 109 Street, Garneau.

History:

The original Noorish opened in 2011, but recently revamped its menu and decor. The new Noorish opened in December 2018.

Most popular item on the menu:

Noorish is known for many amazing dishes, but their elixir bar is the star of the show. Smoothies, tonics, teas, and my favourite – kombucha (ginger lavender pictured below).

#5: The Moth Cafe

plant-based restaurants in Edmonton-10

Location:

9449 Jasper Ave, Downtown Edmonton.

History:

The Moth Cafe is bringing life to the Quarters district at the east end of Jasper Avenue. It inhabits an existing older building on the corner of 95 Street and Jasper Avenue, and is the sister restaurant to Cafe Mosaics (another plant-based option) on Whyte Ave.

Most popular item on the menu:

Many go for the Instagrammable tea lattes (Lavender Sage Peppermint is a must-try), the medicinal teas, and impressive all-day breakfast, but the noodle soups are number one.

    On no! I’m disappointed that The Good Stock was left off your plant-based yes restaurant list. Food is incredible and the owners are so kind!

    Of all the plant based restaurants in Edmonton, The Good Stock is number one for me! I would argue that their food is healthier than that of all the restaurants you have listed here (they cook without any oil!), everything I have had there was very tasty, and the customer service is outstanding! You can definitely add this one to your top 5 as Noorish just closed down : )

It's been a wild and heavy week, hasn't it? I'm de It's been a wild and heavy week, hasn't it? I'm definitely feeling it. Still processing much I've what I've watched, seen, and heard.

There's a lot to sift through online, but here are a few videos that are definitely worth the time - to bring perspective, some joy, and some love. I've posted some in my stories this week but wanted a permanent place on my feed. The links are all clickable in my bio. 

Watch @marielle.elizabeth's video "Being Healthy Doesn't Make Your Life More Valuable" https://www.instagram.com/p/CNoItr8ANtC/.

Watch @celeighcardinal's new music video which celebrates community, friendship, and all forms of love.

Meet a remarkable family. The family of Rob White - the man who presumed drowned after trying to save a dog in the river last week - spoke on love, kindness and legacy on #RealTalkRJ. I was honestly bawling the whole time (starts at the 1:20 mark): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG7s3JsUT6Q

I'm also heartbroken to hear about another unnecessary loss. Daunte Wright. To the black community - I'm sorry. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this again. 

Hugs to you, friends. ❤
Happy birthday @ryanjespersen! 🥳🥳 🥳 Alth Happy birthday @ryanjespersen! 🥳🥳 🥳

Although this photo is from a year ago, the setting will be exactly the same for Ry's second pandemic birthday: cocktails 🥂and Crispy Crunch Cake 🎂. It's all you truly need, isn't it? Your family, delicious food, and fabulous cocktails! 😊

I won't get too mushy but I love this guy so much. He LIVES life to the fullest. Always bringing the fun, he cares deeply, and loves unconditionally.❤❤ If you haven't already done so check out his show Real Talk at RyanJespersen.com. 

Oh - and the cake recipe is at KariSkelton.com (link in my bio). Only three ingredients! 🕺🙌

Happy second birthday to our sweet girl! 🥳 In h Happy second birthday to our sweet girl! 🥳 In human years she's 19, and it turns out she's just like me at that age: wild, getting into all sorts of trouble, sleeping most of the day, and boy crazy (ball crazy for her).😅 Swipe for the latest Roe pic.

Do you celebrate your dog's birthday?

Curious- how are you handling planning for summer? Curious- how are you handling planning for summer?🏖 I'm hoping we'll be at a place in this pandemic where we can road trip with friends, but I don't know.🤷‍♀️ 

Are you booking or have you already booked everything just in case and then will cancel if need be? 

Last summer we rented a motorhome and camped in Kananaskis and it was amazing!🏞 If you're still trying to convince your spouse that the family needs a trailer (like I am 😊), check out RVezy.com - an RV rental marketplace where you rent from private owners (kind of like Air BNB). We had a great experience! 🙌🤍
