4 Restaurants For Vegans and Vegetarians in Barrie
THE VEGAN PANTRY
100% Vegan (or, as their hats and Tshirts say…Vegan AF) the Vegan pantry on Ross street offers up a packed menu of baked goods and hearty meal items.
You can dive into their menu of vegan and gluten-free sweets, including brownies, doughnuts, Nanaimo bars, and cookies. Plus, everything is made with refined sugar-free and doesn’t use any artificial colours or flavours.
On the savoury side, to-go meals include pizza, burgers, lasagna, lentil bowls, and cauliflower wings.
During the lockdown they’ve been offering curbside, as well as meal kits for veggie burgers and meals on wheels to the surrounding regions. Check their Insta for updates.
VALIANT’S EATERY
With a menu ranging from hot dogs, to chilil, to classic sandwhich orders like Cubano, Pastrami and Turk’y club, Valiant’s on Dunlop is a go to for lighter but tasty food fare.
Just in time for BBQ season, they also have a full selection of vegan, plant-based meat and sauces to fill the grill. And don’t forget about their newer dessert-esque items, like donuts.
