For an interesting take on ramen and noodles, The Workshop Vegetarian Cafe took the road not taken by most and started creating plant-based dishes made from scratch. With wellness and paying homage to the culture in mind, half-Japanese owner Mayumi found a way to bring out the best of both worlds. Few would dare to remove the “meat” factor in ramen, but The Workshop Vegetarian Cafe not only found the method to achieve this without losing the essence of the Japanese classic but also made it their brand in 2016.

The Workshop Vegetarian Cafe has been around a long time and is a North Vancouver staple. Although they specialize in ramen (and it's very tasty), they also have a wide range of sandwiches, bowls and (perhaps more surprisingly) baked goods. Almost everything is vegan (with the option of adding an egg to some dishes, making them vegetarian) and they also have an onsite store, selling their baked goods, ramen broth, noodles and more.

A great place for amazing brunch dishes, friendly staff, great food, and nice quantity makes The Workshop Vegetarian Cafe a great place to eat. The Nama Shoyu noodles have a rich, complex umami mushroom broth, perfect on a cool day. One of the most recommended dishes to order in this place is the Organic Nama Shoyu Ramen, the broth blended mushrooms in it, and the ramen itself has different types of whole and halve mushrooms in it.

_Following your lunch break, head over to Lonsdale Quay Market to explore dozens of speciality shops selling locally made goods including tea, beauty products, clothing, and food items. Don’t forget to head outside to admire a beautiful view of Vancouver Harbor. While there are plenty of stalls that have vegan options in the market, you will want to save room for your dinner at Café by Tao.
