Discover some of Downtown Saskatoon's Vegan & Plant-Based Eats!
Whether you're a first-time visitor or a local food enthusiast, downtown Saskatoon has a treat for you! Here are some of my recommendations for vegan options!
St. Tropez Bistro: Charming Ambiance & Creative Vegan Cuisine
The inviting exterior of St. Tropez Bistro will draw you in, and their accommodating approach to vegan diners will keep you coming back. Though the menu is fairly small, they offer creative options, some of which can be made gluten-free. Try the Crispy Tofu or Mushroom Tartlet (request vegan for these), or savor their signature "Vegan Tourtiere."

Odd Couple Restaurant: Crispy Spring Rolls & Asian-Inspired Vegan Fare
Odd Couple is a bit outside the range of downtown on 20th Street, but is renowned for their incredible crispy Vegan Spring Rolls, reminiscent of traditional egg rolls and, in my opinion, the best in the city! While their deep-fried items share fryers, they also offer a wide array of well-labeled, non-deep fried vegan dishes. Don't miss their Ginger Shiitake Mushrooms, Kung Pao Cauliflower Wings, and other Asian-inspired favorites like fresh Salad Rolls, Vegan Noodle Soup, and Vietnamese Noodle Bowl. They also have a few vegan and gluten-free desserts! Note that their lunch and dinner menus differ, so check their current offerings before you visit.

Citizen Café & Bakery: Sweet & Savory Vegan Delights
Start your day at Citizen Café & Bakery with a comforting coffee or tea featuring dairy-free milk and indulge in their tempting pastry case, clearly labeled with vegan and gluten-free options. Their main menu boasts standouts like the hearty Vegan Breakfast Panini. For lunch, try the satisfying Vegan BLT, the flavorful Amped Vegan Reuben Panini, or their daily rotating vegan soup. Always something new to discover! Check their social media and website for the latest creations.

Seasoned Fusion Tastes: A Vegan Haven with Global Flavors
This local gem is a favorite among vegan diners, thanks to its extensive and well-labeled menu, offering a sense of normalcy and variety. You'll find plenty of gluten-free options too! Their creative vegan dishes, like lemon "chicken," ginger "beef," and sweet and sour "pork," are truly unique. While some deep-fried items share fryers with non-vegan dishes, there are numerous other vegan choices. Plus, enjoy the convenience of late-night delivery through their online ordering! Check their social media and website for the latest creations.

Aroma Resto Bar: Upscale Hotel Dining with Some Vegan Options
Aroma Resto Bar, nestled in the Delta Downtown Hotel lobby, offers an upscale casual dining experience that goes beyond your typical hotel restaurant. While their regular menu doesn't explicitly label vegan options, they provide a separate vegan menu upon request. To ensure you know the latest offerings, it's best to call ahead. Their standout dish at the time of visiting is the creamy Tofu and Wild Mushroom Risotto. The Margherita Pizza with vegan cheese is a light and fresh offering (gluten-free option available which is what I had in the photo). An appetizer to try which I haven’t personally tried yet is the Mezze Platter with chickpea hummus, tabbouleh, grilled pita bread plus more!
