As food culture shifts across the globe, so do options for culinary enthusiasts visiting Canadian communities. Here in Campbell River, we have menus representing a plethora of tastes to suit almost all food choices; vegetarian cuisine, in particular, is being created in the smallest of cafes to the largest of restaurant chains.
Below, we share 9 places to find sweet and savoury vegetarian options that are unique to Campbell River. Of course this list is not exhaustive, nor are all places strictly vegetarian; visitors are encouraged to seek out and share their finds with others. If you’d like to learn more about our dining options in Campbell River, check them out here.

BEACH FIRE BREWING & NOSH HOUSE
The food options at Beach Fire (as it’s known to locals) change daily and are written up on the chalkboard inside the dining area of the brewery. Gazing at the menu or snapping a photo, then sitting at your table (inside or out on the patio) is the best way to scroll through their offerings. Beach Fire is family-friendly, and the patio is also dog friendly.

JAVA SHACK
Breakfast and lunch are made to order and very popular with locals, so build in a bit of extra time if you want to eat here or take a meal to go (but so worth it as the food is delicious). They have a variety of vegetarian options, and their baristas know how to make an amazing latte!
