For travellers passing through Vancouver International Airport (YVR), a wide selection of vegan options is available throughout the terminal. Some of the airport’s top vegan dishes include:
Freshii—Buddha Satay Bowl with Tofu
Pre-security International food court
Looking for a quick, healthy lunch before security? Freshii’s Buddha Satay Bowl features rice noodles, tofu, plenty of vegetables, and spicy peanut sauce. Their Sesame Crunch Burrito and Spicy Lemongrass Soup are also vegan options.
Triple O’s—Original Impossible™ Burger
Post-security Domestic Gate B14
Comfort food doesn’t have to mean meat. “For burgers, I usually get the Triple O’s Veggie Burger,” said Radhika Patel, YVR’s Marketing Coordinator. Order an Original Burger with an Impossible™ patty, a gluten-free bun, and no mayo to make it vegan-friendly.
Paragon Tea Room—Oat Milk Tea Lattes
Pre-security Domestic food court
Paragon Tea Room offers travellers a plant‑based alternative to their usual morning coffee, highlighting a local brand known for its thoughtfully crafted beverages. Everyday staple: a ceremonial grade matcha latte. For something extra special: the Earl Grey affogato with their silky oat milk-based ice cream.
Joe & the Juice—Vegan Avocado Sandwich
Post-security Domestic Gate C45 and Transborder Gate E88
Joe & the Juice’s Vegan Avocado Sandwich is highly recommended, and all their sandwiches can be made gluten-free. Pair it with one of their freshly blended vegan juices or protein shakes for a satisfying, nutrient-packed meal.
Hula Poké—Vegan Poké Bowls
Post-security Domestic Gate B14
A runaway favourite! Hula Poké’s flavourful, veggie-packed bowls are loved by many YVR employees. The Yuzu, Koko, Ponzu and Cali Veg bowls are all vegan-friendly.
