That night I went to Ike’s Place for dinner. It’s a a really neat sandwich shop that isn’t vegetarian but has a ton of veg options including fake meat and Daiya. I had the Vegan Womanizer which is a breaded ‘chicken’ patty, Daiya and marinara sauce. Holy crap this was delicious!! Certainly one of the best vegan sandwiches I’ve had. Another bonus is that all the sandwiches come with a bag a chips. The only downside is that there isn’t any seating so you have to take it to go.
The next day I got up early and headed to the Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market. I love visiting farmer’s markets in other cities and I had heard that the Ferry Building Marketplace was home to Pepples Donuts (formerly People’s Donuts…no idea why they changed the name). Sure enough I came across this lovely sight:
So breakfast was a soy latte and a salted caramel vegan donut. I’m normally disappointed by cake donuts but these actually tasted like donuts, not just cake with a hole in it. Yum!
That night for dinner I went to Millennium. I actually wasn’t sure if I was going to go there or not. Ottawa has an amazing high end vegan restaurant (Zen Kitchen) so that’s not something I feel like I’m missing out on, and having a fancy dinner by yourself isn’t exactly the most fun thing ever. But at around 6pm I found myself a few blocks from Millennium and starving so I figured why not. As a bonus it was one of the nights that they have a frugal foodie deal where you get an appetizer, entree and dessert for $39 which is a pretty good deal. My starter was a spinach salad with apple and smoked tofu. They smoke their own tofu and it was absolutely divine! My main dish was a pumpkin tamale. This was actually my first time having a tamale and it was delicious. My dessert was called Chocolate Almond Midnight – almond cashew crust, mocha chocolate filling, raspberry sauce, white chocolate mousse.

I’ve been waiting for you to post about SF since you commented on my blog. What field of science are you studying? I’m going to have to try those donuts. I love donuts of all kinds – cakey or yeasted, they’re all good in my book.

Everything looks amazing! Millenium looks so fancy schmancy! I will get the SF one day. It is so expensive to fly out of Toronto or Buffalo still though. So annoying.
