Great concept, wonderful food - Edit
I had dinner there when I spent time in Vancouver and was absolutly amazed by this place. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is fresh and tastes really great and even when it comes to special requests, the chef is happy to help. I left the place truely in gratitude and would everyone recommend visiting Zend Concious Lounge. I wish the team all the best - great concept!

Healthy Twist to the Vancouver Vegan Scene - Edit
My partner and I went to Zend on a recently date and had a wonderful time. We shared the Defried Tacos, the Tomato Sandwich, and a Carrot Cilantro Wrap. The tacos were lovely and seemed fresh and healthy. I really enjoyed the bread in the Tomato Sandwich and The flavors of the Spiced Carrot Wrap were lively and tasty. For dessert we tried both the Torte and Flan. Both had great flavor.
Read moreThe portions were generous and were both more than sated even after our lengthy pre-dinner bike ride. Care and attention to detail were apparent throughout the restaurant and the food tasted of the highest quality.
We were lucky enough to catch a marimba band when we were there. The music was a sensational addition to this memorable evening. I would definitely go there again!
Pros: taste, ambiance , quality of ingredients

Chic Atmosphere, Wonderful Staff, and Good Food - Edit
This place opened just the other day, and I was among the first to try their first restaurant.
Read moreThis place is on one of the hottest bar/restaurant streets in Vancouver, and according to manager of the restaurant, this was very intentional. They are trying to expose as many non veg-types to healthy vegan food, and are hoping that who walk down this street will eventually eat at this healthy vegan restaurant.
This restaurant is actually a charity. After salaries and overhead is taken out, the rest of the money is donated to a charity of their choosing based on voting among those who work at the restaurant.
The place is designed in a very chic, modern fashion, and is quite comfortable. The staff is wonderful and very helpful.
I ordered a Tomato seed bread sandwich with potato salad, and a kava-based drink called Zend with an apple juice chaser.
The sandwich was fresh and tasty, and the potato salad was excellent and much healthier than potato salads you might find at other restaurants.
The Zend drink was an interesting blend of herbs, and was quite strong, but could perhaps be used by those who are looking to get a bit of a sensation of drinking alcohol without the side effects.
It's very satisfying knowing that the money you spend here will end up helping those in need.
