If you're wondering, "are there any restaurants with plant-based options?" the answer is yes! There are 3 local restaurants offering a completely plant-based menu, and several other restaurants with vegetarian options as well.
The Local Gastropub
The Local Gastropub is the only plant-based pub in Ontario. "Plant-based" and "pub fare" aren't words you usually see together, but the Gastropub has blended both concepts in the most delicious way possible. You can choose any 3 items from their Barrielicious menu to create your dinner. The Vegan Mac & Cheese is a must try, as is the "Fish" & Chips, but truthfully you can't go wrong with whatever you choose.

Ripe Juicery
In case you missed the news, Ripe Juicery offers more than just juice. In fact, they have a full menu and have some absolutely delicious options available during Barrielicious. Their $25 3-course menu includes items like Aloha Thai Spring Rolls, Quinoa Sushi, Raw Pad Thai, Kimchi Black Bean Burger and you can top it all off with a vegan Snickers for dessert. Yum!
