  • I kept seeing pictures of this place popping up in my Instagram feed. "What is this place? Where is it? They have milkshakes?" So when a friend suggested we go get lunch together, I was stoked to finally have the opportunity to try them out. While Calgary has improved in this area over the years, it's still pretty dang serendipitous when I can have more than one menu item that isn't a side dish. Bonus points when I can customize it for my gluten sensitivity. Skip a semester and make the dean's list, because the service is genuinely friendly and amazing. Veg-In is in a small, sparklingly clean location; tucked away downtown, but close to Macleod Tr, so getting there and finding parking isn't too difficult for lunch. They are very easy to spot when driving down 6 Ave. When I walked in to meet up with my friend, I was warmly greeted by 3 women behind the counter. They have a few regular menu items, and some weekly specials on rotation that they announce on social media. For lunch, I had one of their three "veggitos," the "Bollywood Fantasy." It's an Indian inspired veggie burrito stuffed with potatoes, cauliflower, garlic and other spices. When I requested the gluten free wrap; I was told that it would take an extra 15-20 minutes, but I didn't mind, because they make them by hand. To tide me over for the wait, I ordered a vegan banana lassi, which is made with fresh fruit and either coconut or soy yogurt. You can get a traditional lassi with dairy yogurt, as well. My friend also had a lassi, and a veggito stuffed with pan fried tofu. (Side note: Can I just say how much I love that their menu items have fun names, but aren't overtly stereotypical vegan names that might steer your omnivore friends away?) The Bollywood Fantasy was worth the wait, and so pretty, everyone wanted to take a photo of it. It had just the right amount of seasoning, and heat, and hit the spot without that typically lethargic feeling that hits you with vegan wraps. The banana lassi was probably one of the best milkshakes I've had in a long time. Even without the great service, they basically had me at milkshakes and burritos. Lunch is also very reasonably priced, especially for a vegetarian place in the city. Try them out! Noms and an instant day brightener!
