News From the View

As a dedicated foodie & Hamiltonian I was flipping through the dining guide of The View. There was a lot of vegetarian friendly claims being made. Some of the restaurants boasted to accommodate vegans.  It's always a happy surprise to see the word vegan in mainstream media. I don't mean this in an advocate-y way either. It just feels like a "my existence is acknowledged in the world of eateries" moment of relief when you're assured that you can dine somewhere without explaining yourself as a vegan.


Anyway, the food!

Wass Ethiopian : I've heard multiple good reviews of this place. And they won most Vegan/Vegetarian Friendly in Hamilton's Best Food of 2011 I admit I haven't eaten there yet but it's reputed to be a unique experience and their vegetarian (vegan?) lunch special is only $7! I feel a review coming on.

 Mex-i-can: Mixed reviews online.I've heard many good reviews through the grapevine though. A server there told me that they have a lot of vegan dishes. Also gluten-free if that perks your interest.

Ole Gourmet : Also claims to have vegan options. Just by skimming the menu online I see 4 already vegan items and a lot of potential to veganize other dishes.

When hungry in Hamilton

Walk 10 paces and find a shwarma place and order a falafel.... no mayo please!

Toronto's Sadie's Diner

Okay, okay, so Toronto is clearly not in Hamilton and this blog is not about ogling all of Toronto's vegan spots but just in case you happen to be around those parts you should check out Sadie's Diner.

They have all day vegan brunch!
