Canada's Most Veg-Friendly Cities: #6 Calgary, Alberta (cattle country!)
Holy Cow, how in the heck did Canada's cattle capital make it on PETA's top 6 vegetarian list? Well, even Canada's cowboys no longer deny the power of soypatties over cowpatties, as evidenced by Calgary's ten vegetarian restaurants and health food stores, and the strength of its local vegetarian group. Calgary may be known as "Cowtown" and be the home of the Calgary Stampede, but the number of vegetarians means that many of the restaurants have long since incorporated vegetarian selections into their menus. Even Harvey's Hamburgers sells a popular Veggie Burger.
Chinatown's Veggie House is the best spot for bunch and the upscale Buddha's Veggie Restaurant has an extensive-and delicious-menu. The AnPurna is warm and friendly and also has excellent vegetarian offerings. Community Natural Foods is one of the better places to shop for organic and vegetarian foods, but they also have a lunch counter with daily vegetarian specials.
