Nightshade

This is definitely a little finer than your average vegan spot, however, once you go inside, you’ll realize it’s relatively casual like the rest of Vancouver! I had a great experience here. I was impressed by how many different cuisines they served we had Japanese, Indian, Vietnamese and Italian influenced dishes, and how all were done well. I’d say the three things you must try is their sushi rolls, the nightshade once was really good. Taro roll is essentially a spring roll. It come out nice and hot, and I thought eating it with lettuce and mint leaves was a great touch, so it didn’t feel too oily and had a great crunch. The truffle gnocchi was also good. The mushroom gravy was thick and flavourful, chunks of mushroom gave it meatiness and it’s a good size. I will say I wished there was more of a truffle flavour, but it was still good. The other dishes we ordered were good as well, just not a highlight I’d say. The food looked good as you can tell and the service was great as well. I felt it was more of a family place than date night, but it also depends on what time of day you come. I will say this is one of the better vegan restaurants in Vancouver and I’d recommend trying this place out to everyone! It’s a good way to see what vegan food can actually be like! I will say it’s not one of the cheaper vegan eats though, it cost us around $50 per person, but I think it was worth it.

This was a great space that shone with pride in their mission and values. The ambience and the service were incredible and the energy in the restaurant was uplifting. The ceramics were exquisite and unique and the folks working there seemed like they really enjoyed serving the community. Now onto the food. The food was magical. I specially liked the jerked mushroom- it was really well made and the flavor and textures were “chef’s kiss” . The dessert was my ultimate favorite dessert I have had for a while. I loved that they use seasonal ans sustainable produce to design their menu. The dessert I wanted a second one. I am going back for that one. My husband liked his unique Lion’s Mane dish which was different than anything we have had before. I think I need more time to acquire that flavor. Join me in celebrating plant based missions and visit this fine experience. Prices seemed reasonable and we left happy, full, and full of energy for the rest of the evening.

What a vegan treat. The quality of food here is exceptional. The atmosphere and service is great. We not only had appetizers, mains and desserts we also enjoyed their cocktails which were amazing! Absolutely recommend their sushi you will never go wrong! I mean look at these dishes!

An exceptional experience. I’m not a vegetarian but my wife is 100%. We were on our way to an event and we walked by. We were inspired by the menu and stopped in. The service was great, the food was phenomenal and as a non-meat eater, this restaurant delivers the goods. We’ll certainly be back often. Great job!

This vegan restaurant is so good! Came here for an event and we had a 6-course meal, I am not vegan however enjoyed every dish! It’s amazing to see how creative we can get with plant based foods. Would definitely come back, I recommend the cauliflower dish for non-vegans who say vegan food sucks, they will enjoy this that dish is really delicious.

Wow that’s a gem in yaletown. After going to a different vegan restaurant for months vegan good fast food we were super happy that we randomly found nightshade. The afternoon host/server was great and super kind. The prices are absolutely fair, I would even say almost cheap, for that value. Positive surprised. We ended up ordering 6 drinks, 3 appetizer, 2 mains and 1 dessert. We told so many friends already to go there because we loved it.

Nice ambience! Finer dining vegan restaurant in Vancouver. The sushi was delicious. The other dishes we ordered were flavourful but not as good as the rolls. The dessert we ordered crème brûlée wasn’t setting that day so the kitchen gifted us the two other desserts on the menu, which was very kind.

Excellent experience overall - the food is toe-curlingly good and the customer service top notch. The ambiance was both modern and invitingly cozy and the music was upbeat and just the right volume to be able to have a conversation easily while enjoying the music. I will definitely come back - more than a few times.

Nightshade deserves this review and more stars google doesn’t have enough! The staff was so friendly, accommodating and cheery after a very busy day! We felt at home. The food was out of this world and we couldn’t stop talking about it. We are going to be talking about it for a long time to come! Did I mention the drinks? The mocktails were sensations the cocktails were simply perfection. Do yourself a favor and try this unbelievable vegan restaurant! You will NOT be disappointed.

This Yaletown gem is a must visit… not your average vegan restaurant. The menu is very limited, but you can’t go wrong with any! These beautifully plated dishes pack so much flavour. Both times when I went here for weekday lunch we’re relatively empty, but I heard reso is recommended for dinner & weekends.
