Vegetarian in Edmonton

[David Kahane]

Which of the gourmet/high-end restaurants do you think have the best fare for vegetarians?

As a meat-eater, I was a big Hardware fan, but I've been thoroughly unimpressed by their vegetarian mains (I've done OK by ordering multiple appetizers instead, but they don't change the menu that often).

Culina is pretty good, but I've worn out the veggie options on their menu.

Other thoughts or experiences around this? Thanks.

Just a guess really, but try going to a really nice Indian restaurant; they tend to have a pretty solid vegetarian selection.

Lemongrass Cafe (vietnamese, south side) has a pretty extensive vegetarian selection too.

Have you been to the Lemongrass Cafe recently Emtron500?

I went quite some time ago and was quite disappointed and as a result never went back.

[Emtron500]

I have, yes. I find service has gotten a lot worse, but I'm still pretty attached to the food.

It's not considered a high-end restaurant, so hence not what you are necessarily looking for, but the one restaurant that comes to mind when "vegetarian" pops up is the Blue Plate Diner. That's because I'm such a meat lover that I always wish they had more meat selections on their dinner menu.

None of the really 'high-end' places seem to care about vegetarian. Hardware, Jacks, Unheardof,etc will cobble together something from the sides, but none as far as I know none have a real vegetarian entre option. Unheardof might have a pasta sometimes.

When I'm eating out with vegetarians here, we usually go to something like Sorrentinos or Koutouki.
