Not Enough Options

The vegan options they carry are great but it’s slim pickings. Still, there’s worse you could do!

Few Boring Vegan options

This Diner has a few vegan options - one main and a couple salads/appetizers. I can't say i have ever enjoyed the food from here, even before i went vegan.

Cons: Food isn't the best

Good but not

The options were nill to say the least but the food was good, once you got it. The service was very slow but still nice and polite. Had the veggie burger as it can be made totally vegan. It was decent but definitely not worth the 30 minute wait, especially when we were the only other table in the restaurant.

Pros: Nice service, good atmosphere

Cons: Not many vegan options, very slow

Good, but need more vegan options

First of all I was disappointed that vegan options weren’t labelled on the menu; I had to check their online menu. Then it turned out there was only one vegan entree: the veggie shepherd’s pie. It was really good, but I would have liked more options.

Pros: Good vegan shepherd’s pie

Cons: Need more vegan options

A great place for group dining

If you're going out to dinner with a bunch of omnivores, I would definitely suggest Blue Plate. They cater to both omnis and vegetarians/vegans, and they do it well. The vegan options are delicious, and they go beyond the typical veggie burger with fries option that most non-veg restaurants offer. Keep in mind, however, that they are expensive.

Pros: Delicious vegan options, Great place for omnis and veg*ns to eat together

Cons: Expensive

O.K.

I rate it as OK. I find the Blue Plate to have a great atmosphere, OK food selection/quality and less then stellar service. The vegan options are limited, and they haven't changed in the 5 years I have been going, they certainly aren't of the caliber of many other restaurants offering vegan options in this city. We don't go often but it is nice now and again. If they only spruced up the menu a bit and trained the staff to be less cool and more attentive then this place would be a real gem.

Pros: Vegan options, Funky atmosphere

Cons: Slow service, limited vegan options

Veggie downtown dining

I love how Blue Plate's menu is very specifically labelled to indicate what is vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free. This makes it so easy for me to go there with friends who have allergies and what not.
The lentil loaf is really good, and I also like the veggie burger. However getting a table here can be really challenging, you definitely need a reservation. The price is a bit more than I can typically afford, so Blue Plate for me is a sort of "special occasions" restaurant.

Pros: clearly labelled menu, yummy vegan food, big portions

Cons: very busy, a bit expensive

Sorry won't be back

I went here with my sister a few years back and was so disappointed. I tried it because it was in the VoA veggie restaraunt guide. When we got there we had to wait a while for a table which made no sense because only half the restaraunt was full. When I was asking about vegan dishes they said I could have the veggie burger with no bun.... I did and then just had salad on the side. That was the only option I was given to eat. I have heard they have more options now, but I was so unhappy the first and only time I have ever been there, that I'm not coming back. Sorry.

Cons: Barely any vegan selection, Rude staff, Horrible parking

Beet Burger Heaven!

Blue Plate diner has the best veggie burger I have ever tasted and it's made of beets! This restaurant has a funky atmosphere and great veg*n options. They were also very accommodating of my food allergies! Great place for brunch!

Pros: Friendly Staff, Excellent Food

Cons: Nosiy, Serves Meat

good options

I enjoy the vegan offering and have been able to get them to modify lacto dishes .This is a mainstream restraunt with some accomadations for vegatarians.I am not sure we have a high degree of uniformity on who gets listed . I am still in favour of having them listed here .

Good basic food and very popular for mainstream and veg. folks .

Pros: food quality

Cons: veg seperation
