In honour of the 40th anniversary of Mother Earth Day celebrations, I went with my sis and Pop to The Loving Hut on West Broadway on Thursday. It is an all-new vegan restaurant in Vancouver, and the second of its kind in Canada (the first is in Toronto).
The Loving Hut did not look quite like a bohemian, coconut-filled, thatched roof paradise that I had expected by its name. But what it lacked in interior décor, it made up for in deliciously filling all-vegan food, economical prices, and very friendly atmosphere. I was especially fond of their Wall of Fame, where they hung photos of everyone’s favourite famous vegetarians - Albert Einstein, Leonardo de Vinci, Ghandi, and Thomas Edison, as well as famous Canadian vegetarians like Sarah McLachlan, K-os, Bryan Adams, Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette and Brendan Brazier.
We ordered the nachos to share, followed by an asparagus soup (soup-of-the-day), Ocean Love pizza slice, Loving Hut pizza slice, Happy Spicy pizza slice, as well as a Rainbow Salad. The nachos and the Ocean Love pizza were my favourite menu items. They were cheesy and flavourful and filling. Even the sour cream and pizza dips were soooo good! I think my carnivorous sister and dad were a little stunned but just how delicious and fun vegan food is - everything we ate was totally tasty! Bonus points for serving fairly traded coffees and teas with organic soymilk.
Here is a run-down of prices. What we ordered was more than enough food for three hungry people!:
Aparagus Soup (small) - $2.25
Ocean Love pizza slice - $4.25
Loving Hut pizza slice -$4.25
Happy Spicy pizza slice - $4.25
Rainbow Salad (large) - $6.75
2 Beck's Non-Alcoholic Beer - $6.00 (for two)
Flower Tea - $2.25

The Loving Hut is a groovy little joint to share a either a big slow meal, or quick little bite.
I give the Loving Hut two thumbs up for edibility, ethics, easy-going-ness and economical-ness. So did the omnivores that I went with!
