Review: We had lunch at Gorilla Foods once while on holiday in Vancouver in June.

It was our first time ever in a cafe that serves only raw food and we were very impressed.

We had a couple of different raw food pizzas and some salads and it was all sooo yummy and sooo creative.

I wish I could make raw food treats like that! There are a couple of different raw food cook books on sale at the cafe for those who feel inspired.

The atmosphere and music in this basement cafe was cool and the staff really friendly.

Review: My husband and I were visiting Vancouver for a weekend. We discovered Gorilla foods and we fell in love with the place and the food. We ate there 3 times over our time in Vancouver because we could not get enough of it. The ambience of the place is so inviting, relaxing and transports you to an oasis. We loved the the maui waui, the falafel, and the lettuce wraps. My all time favorite thing that they make is the Choco gorilla shake. It is truly heaven! The fudge dessert is amazing as well. I highly recommend dining at gorilla. You won't be disappointed!
 
Pros: delicious raw food * pretty reasonable prices * choco gorilla shake
Cons: * *

• Hi Nycpeeps, I liked your review. I haven't tried this place yet, but it sounds great. I'll give it a go the next time I am in Vancouver. It has a great name as well. . response by Jeffrey

Review: First the kiosk window, now 2 doors down in the wonderful lower level calm and groovy oasis restaurant space, we have loved Gorilla Foods for awhile!
Great smoothies, juices, thai wraps with fig chutney, nori rolls, falafel, flax crackers and decedant desserts.

Review: Gorilla Food is simply some of the BEST food I've ever had! AND it's *RAW*!!! Delicious, nutritious and served up by one of the nicest people I've met - owner Aaron. Once we found this place, we ate there three days in a row!

The only downsides:
1. I have developed a serious craving for their kale salad with cilantro walnut dressing.
2. I live in Los Angeles and Gorilla Food is in Vancouver.

Please open a LA location!!!

 
Pros: Fresh, delicious and flavorful * Nicest owner and staff * Amazingly affordable
Cons: Too far from Los Angeles * *

Review: I can't say enough good stuff about Gorilla Foods! Friendly, happy, folks making amazing raw foods. So far, I've enjoyed the nori rolls, collard wraps, pizza (OMG YUM), kale salad, etc and every single thing has been wonderful. I'm so glad I found this place, and no I'm not getting paid for this glowing review...it's just that good!
 
Pros: Delicious * Very nice folks * Healthy
Cons: * *
