The Wallflower was top on my list of places to try in Vancouver. It sounded like
divey dinner food with lots of vegan options. We were there on a Sat around 11
and it was packed! We had to wait a while for a table, but that was fine since
we were still kind of full from breakfast. I loved the atmosphere – this is
another place that I would return to again and again (maybe for one of the
shows they have in the evenings? Or just a few drinks and some vegan poutine).
They had many vegan options clearly marked on the menu. We tried the Vegan Mac & Cheesey – this was incredible! Probably my
favorite mac and cheese I have had. Not very oily, I don’t think they used a
commercial mock cheese, super creamy and just yum! It was so creamy and cheesey
that it reminded me of “real” mac and cheese. Highly recommended.
We also got the vegan breakfast poutine – veggie dogs,
marinated tofu, daiya mozzarella, hashbrowns and gravy. This was also
incredible! There were big pieces of
potato, the hot dogs tasted very much like real ones (or what I remember real
ones tasting like) I think the gravy was a miso gravy and was amazing, there
was not too much of the daiya cheese, and the crumbled tofu really pulled it
all together. I would definitely get this again! Much better than the poutine
we had in Toronto. So tasty and we were so full, but we ate every last bite.
The menu also lists vegan crème brulee which I had to try –
I have never had a vegan version. While it did not have the caramelized sugar
on the top to crack, I loved it! It was super light and creamy (I think it was
a coconut milk base, but didn’t have a strong coconut flavor) with a super sweet
sauce on top and was just amazing. The perfect end to a perfect meal.
Overall – I would highly recommend stopping by The
Wallflower if you are in Vancouver. It was definitely one of my favorite places
to eat in the city.
