Maybe I just picked the wrong dish for me, I've only been there once, so I should probably try there again before writing it off. I really like a Vegan bakery called Kelly's Bake Shop, the restaurant Lettuce Love Cafe used to sell some of Kelly's stuff there before Kelly's Bake Shop built their own place. Upon tasting some of Kelly's Bakeshop's stuff, I realized it was actually possible for Vegan cup cakes to taste just as good as the conventional kind.
Sounds great! Mind telling me where these are located at?

Here's a link to the part of Lettuce Love Cafe's website which says where it's located. http://www.lettucelovecafe.com/find-us/

Kelly's Bakeshop is very close by, here's their website, a bit down the webpage it displays their address. http://kellysxo.com/

They both are individual restaurants/bakeries, not chain restaurants, but if you ever travel to my area of Canada you should definitely check out both these places.

If you are ever in DC check out sticky fingers. Don't quote me on this but I think they got number 1 in the area against non vegan places! https://foursquare.com/v/sticky-fingers ... 207f7d1fe3

Pig Minds in Machesney Park, IL. For reference, we go there every so often (once or twice a month on business) all the way from southern Wisconsin.

Pig Minds is the best all-vegan restaurant I've been to in the WI/IL area.

I've visited vegan restaurants on six different continents and the best one I've been to is Aux Vivres in Montreal.

Isn't Loving Hut the place where they play those annoying religious videos?

Yeah, but they're mostly just quirky, like Raelians.

We have a lot of so called fries houses in Belgium with so much possibillities for meat that is associated with fries. But the range of vegetarian alternatives is growing rapidly. Today I tried a Veggie burger...also known as the "I can't believe that this isn't meat" burger with a noodle disk and it tastes just perfect.
I think that the recipe is on their site, the Bicky Veggie burger.
There are plenty of alternatives like this to give it easy on veggies...you can get it everywhere in Belgium.
