The menu is very easy to navigate, as all vegan dishes have a V. (GF stands for gluten-free, and N means it contains nuts). There are a number of veggie burgers. However, most are vegetarian and are not vegan. 13th Avenue Coffee is best known for its vegan bowls.

You can also choose from their rice bowls, noodle dishes or stews to get a hearty and healthy vegan option. I ordered the Lucky Bowl with peanut sauce, tofu marinated, tomato, cucumbers, bean sprouts and grated carrot. There’s also a sushi bowl, green curry, noodle bowl and sweet potato lentil stew. Next time, I’ll have to try one of those vegan chocolate raspberry cookies.

With a Name Like The M:eating Area, you’d never guess that this was a vegan restaurant in Regina. It isn’t entirely vegan, but it’s super vegan-friendly. Don’t let the fact that it’s located in a strip mall deter you either. The food was fresh and delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful.

The vegan banana cookies were a tasty snack later in the day, but I can see many of you choosing one of the vegan pumpkin-scone scones.

I ordered the vegan bowl: peppers, green onions, mushrooms, tomatoes sautéed and served on some yummy hash with black beans, served with salsa. The salsa with the potatoes and vegetables was a great start to the day. The iced espresso was also very refreshing.

I wouldn’t say that the avocado toast was anything too special as I had to remove some of the toppings (mainly the cheese) to make it vegan. However, the quinoa, black bean and corn salad was really flavourful and I’d order that one again without any hesitation.

Rebellion Brewing Co

Located in the heart of Regina’s Warehouse District, Rebellion Brewing Company has been an important part of Regina’s craft brewing scene since 2014. They offer everything from easy-drinking lagers to beer that is made from Saskatchewan-grown legumes.

In their taproom, Rebellion offers a menu of Mexican food prepared by Tropezon. While only the vegetarian items are marked as such, it’s easy to request for some of them to be prepared vegan. I tried the guacamole/salsa with chips, and three vegan tacos. Who knew a brewery was also one of Regina’s best vegan restaurants?

Two of these are vegan-friendly and they’re usually the fruit flavours. I tried the pineapple watermelon twist and it was a tropical summer treat. Come in for a cool treat on a hot summer day.

Dandy’s Artisan Ice CreamThe ice cream is made in small batches. They create premium, innovative flavours that you won’t find anywhere else. Of course, they have a great selection of dairy-free ice cream, otherwise I wouldn’t have included it in this “best vegan restaurants in Regina” guide!

When I visited the shop, there were five vegan flavors marked with a “V”: salted caramel chocolate brookie, honeycomb coconut, chocolate puffed-quinoa, Nanaimo Bar, and key lime pie.

They allow you to sample any ice cream that you’d like, so I tried all of them. The chocolate puffed-quinoa was the winner, even though they were all delicious. The chocolate ice-cream was perfect because of the crunchy bits!

The Ferrero Rocher cookie was the one I chose and loved, though I don’t think you could go wrong with any of these options.
