Unexpectedly good vegan food in Chemainus

There aren't many places to eat in Chemainus, let alone many vegan options. And Thai Pinto's menu suggests that almost nothing is vegan. But that's deceptive. They use fish sauce in almost no dishes and tofu can be substituted for any of their meats — so almost everything can be vegan.

And it's authentically good Thai food with complex, well-balanced flavours, cooked and served by charming people in pleasant surroundings. Great to have this as one of the few dining options in Chemainus.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Surprisingly good, complex flavours, The people running it are lovely

Cons: Menu not clear that most things can be made vegan
