Origin Bakery

I've had some snacks at this bakery before, as my wife gets her dry cleaning done nearby at the big clock. Origin Bakery is a gluten-free place that makes tasty items, which is hard to do gluten free. Even their turkey, edam and cranberry sandwich is tasty. I've only been to their Pandora location but they have another in Colwood.

Lotus Pond

We were treated to a supper at the Lotus Pond Buddhist restaurant by a friend as a Christmas present. We have eaten here since shortly after it opened in the late 1990's. I always have a fantastic meal here, except for the buffet. Don't have the buffet. If you want to eat cheaply, have the Buddah's Feast Soup and it will fill you up with tasty goodness for $5.95 plus tax and tip. Their Szechuan Ginger B is the best and yet its not meat. Their hot pots are also very good.

Expand your horizons and give a vegetarian restaurant a try.
