The 78

You'll find yourself on Kelvinhaugh Street in Finnieston, a neighbourhood that's properly buzzing these days, and The 78 sits right in the thick of it. This is vegan food that doesn't come with the baggage—no sanctimony, no apologies, just intelligent cooking that happens to be plant-based. The menu changes regularly, which keeps regulars coming back, and they're serious about wine pairings without being precious about it. The space itself is unfussy and welcoming, the kind of place where you'll see everyone from suits to students tucking in with genuine enthusiasm.
