Simply put: you have to try gourmet Vegan to believe it. I have had the burger on three or four occasions and I am always left marveling at how good it is.
The PadThai made with zucchini noodles is outstanding- capturing the texture and aroma of
Thai cuisine perfectly. Yesterday my wife had the burrito made with tempeh and it was awesome.
They have an expression at Doug's: Good food isn't cheap and cheap food isn't good. This place can be pricey, be warned. But it is outstanding. Doug is passionate about fair trade and ethical food production, and his store has his cookbooks and accreditations from various fair trade standard commissions.
The quirks- this place isn't open for dinner. Likely due to cooking classes and other commitments that chef has in the evenings. So plan ahead and drop by during the day and take out from their prepared food fridge or enjoy a vegan burger in the restaurant.
There is nothing else worth going to in this tiny Marlee and Glencairn neighbourhood- so put aside your Vegan apprehensions and prepare to be impressed.
