Packed with flavour!! - Edit
I love everything every time I frequent this restaurant.
Read moreIt is a bummer it’s no longer veggie BUT they still have the BEST vegan breakfasts - their vegan pancakes are unbeatable - u will have never had pancakes like these.
They eggs Benny with mushrooms and truffle oil is so flavourful and delicious (in photo - it got tossed around).
It’s pricey BUT this restaurant makes food better than we do and that is very very rare these days. It’s not cheap/fast and bland like many other restaurants these days.
Thank you for keeping vegan options

Took a wrong turn - Edit
Review update:
Read moreThe new direction is toxic towards the Vegan community.
The food is decent, but my money won't go towards a direction that openly insults, taunt and troll clients.
Updated from previous review on 2024-03-10
Pros: Portions, Environment
Cons: Pricing, Agressive direction, Shares no vegan values

Not so vegan friendly anymore - Edit
Unless you want $20 toast or pancakes this place isn’t vegan friendly for brunch anymore.

NO LONGER VEGETARIAN - Edit
And the owner is online calling vegans "N@zis" for asking why the menu changed.

UPDATE - no longer vegetarian - Edit
So sad they serve meat now😒had to change my star rating here to 3. Definitely a different vibe, menu and different clientele. Still have a few (three or four) great vegan options, but seeing beef cheek listed at all on the menus makes me suspicious if the Ⓥ items are really vegan and if the staff really understands what vegan is - same as any other carnivore restaurants offering Ⓥ items. The Ⓥ items are still really delicious! But so sad - won’t be seeking out Heirloom any more.

You can take your date to Heirloom! I loved everything here. Virgin Mary, kale ceasar, raw brownie w coconut whip substitution. Well labeled gluten-free options, I believe they can make everything vegan. I really was impressed by the ceasar salad - I love ceasar and will get it everywhere when I see it on the menu. It’s fascinating to me to see what attention a chef will put into an otherwise simple salad. This ceasar was off the hook: kale and romaine finely chopped, gf croutons, tarot “bacon”, popped capers, cashew Parmesan and the dressing was spot on. Delicious! Virgin Mary was worth the price of admission too. Reasonably priced. I’d have given five stars if I didn’t have to order through real eggs on the menu. For a vegetarian restaurant, it was spectacular.

I'm disappointed to see that they serve meat now😒

Not vegetarian anymore - Edit
So disappointed. They now sell meat and even would ask you “do you want chicken with your salad?” after you just order salad.
Read moreI am ok with places that are omnivore and provide veg options but switching to selling meat is incredibly lame.
Not planning to visit Heirloom again.

WAS top quality - now meat sellouts - Edit
EDIT: modifying my review from 5 stars to 1 (zero if I had the option) to reflect my dissapointment in this long time veggie establishment deciding to regress back into serving meat on the menu. I will leave my original words below, in the hopes that one day this place will get back to what is best. For now, they should be scorned.
Read moreOk review:
I came here with 4 vegan pals, all of whom had visited this restaurant more than once, and we all loved our meals.
I had the artichoke tacos with ceasar salad on the side and bother were excellent.

No longer vegetarian - Edit
There were only about 3 vegan entree options. I used to like going here. Disappointed that they now sell murdered animal carcasses under the "ethical" label, which is an oxymoron.
Read morePros: Ambience was still nice.
Cons: They now serve meat dishes.

Not even vegetarian - Edit
This place looked great on HappyCow based on the description. We got there and they had a letter accompanying the menu saying they now sell “ethically sourced local meat.” There we’re only 3 vegan options: pancakes, a salad, and soup of the day. We got up and left, explaining to the server that we thought it was a vegetarian restaurant and that there’s no such thing as ethical meat. I’ll report a problem to happy cow so they no longer pop up in purple. I tried to give one star but HappyCow won’t let me because they still think it’s vegetarian.

Try the ceasar salad! - Edit
Great location, friendly staff, nice ambience, creative menu that can be veganised easily without compromising on taste or protein. We had the vegan truffle eggs benny and caesar salad - which exceeded all of my expectations.

Some of the best food in Vancouver - Edit
I have eaten at Heirloom many times over the years whenever I’m back in Vancouver and the food is consistently of the highest quality. Everything on the menu is inventive and delicious. Whenever I go there, I’m reminded of the huge difference between eating at an omnivore restaurant that does some vegan options and eating at a vegan restaurant like Heirloom where they really know what to do with the ingredients. Definitely recommend.
Read morePros: Mainly vegan with some vegetarian options, Delicious food, Light airy restaurant

Good food, unpleasant experience - Edit
I ate in many places. None of them was as loud as this restaurant. I don’t know why and what’s wrong with the architecture of the building, but eating should be a relaxing experience, and if you cannot ear the people at your table something is clearly wrong. Food is good. Pancakes are delicious; fries ok; the traditional breakfast could be much better (and mushrooms in August maybe are not a great idea). I had great expectations, but unfortunately I had a stressful lunch.
