Hey guys

I'm looking for a restaurant that's got healthy food and is vegetarian friendly.

So really.. no idea where to eat =/

I have eaten at these places: (Sunflower Cafe) Community Health Foods, Gratitude Cafe and The Coup. Out of these, I thought The Coup was the best overall. Too bad there is not a macrobiotic choice in Calgary as it hits all your needs. Thai food can contain sugar, one has to ask. I have a family member who is a vegan, it is possible to find a decent meal out there, it just takes a bit of thinking unlike what most stuff into their gob in Calgary.

In Banff I ate a terrific dinner at Nourish Bistro (call, as it can be closed the odd day): http://www.nourishbistro.com/?q=node/52

There is a place in Cochrane just off the highway by the Shell. Thai Onzon is owned by a lady who is sister of the guy who runs Thai Sai On. Menu items are divided into vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free. I had the green curry and my gf had the curry fish (not fish). Both were quite tasty and fresh. Dessert we had the fried banana with coconut ice cream, and the sticky rice with mango. Love it!

Price is similar to most Thai place. If find the food quite tasty, and the place is pretty nice. We are going back again on Monday for a double date.

The coup is hands down the best vegetarian restaurant in Calgary. Buddha is also good if you're feeling like Asian food.

Cerezo on Edmonton Trail does Vegetarian lunch specials, and has pretty good coffee.
