• Outstanding!

Zend has an amazing concept (explained on their website and in other Happycow review). Located in a trendy part of Vancouver with high people traffic, I hope it does well as it just recently opened. It is a great addition to the Vancouver vegan scene. We went there early for dinner to avoid crowds. The service was attentive, the menu easy to read and everything sounded delicious. We started with the zend drink, which we both enjoyed very much. Then got the tacos, the daily flatbread which on that day had eggplant and tomato, and a mint pesto, and of course had to try the warm nacho dip. EVerything was outstanding, the flavours perfectly mastered and everything tasted fresh and healthy. We did not finish the flatbread so took it to go, and then we had the dessert: 1 flan and 1 chocolate torte. Again, delicious flavours but we were probably too full to fully appreciate the tastes. The portions don't look huge, but they are deceptively filling. The menu is great, dishes are easy to share and has mostly got raw food, and is 100% gluten free and vegan, which for me is absolutely perfect. I cannot wait to go back and try more...
