The best veggie burger in town, with a side of local art.

For those who like a side of art with your yam fries, this is the place for you. This relaxed pub/restaurant features a different local artist every month. For the last five years, The Whip has been showcasing the works of Vancouver artists on a non-commission basis. The ambiance in the heritage building is inviting, and you’ll definitely stay longer than planned—especially when the rain starts.
The Whip is also a great place for a summer snack or meal, as there is a great sidewalk patio for people watching. Serving up one of the best veggie burgers in town, the food is better than most pub’s. And for those who want to cheat on their diet, try the dessert menu’s deep-fried chocolate bar: naughty but oh-so-nice!
