Bexby Jones, a reviewer, writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s not really a place to bring a date (unless your date is an outdoorsy vegan hippy\/ skateboarder musician type) and I probably wouldn&#8217;t go here for business dinners. But it&#8217;s great for friends\/ boyfriends\/ girlfriends, no matter who you are. The food is definitely comfort food. The rice\/ quinoa dishes are rich and saucy with nuts and raisins and things in them. They kind of remind me of stuff my vegetarian hippy mom would make me (if I had one). The salads are tasty. My favourite dish by far is the nachos. For just $8 you get a platter of nachos with corn and beans, and amazing salsa\/sour cream, that can fill two people. At night it&#8217;s a great place to come for candlelight &amp; wine. They&#8217;re open late, too. Sun-Thurs till 1am and Fri\/Sat till 2am (but they stop serving drinks at 1am).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dineouthere.com\/images\/foundation-01.jpg\" alt=\"Mango madness pasta (around $7)\" height=\"552\" width=\"690\" \/><br \/>\nMango Forte pasta ($9.75)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Foundation (2301 Main, Vancouver, BC, Canada, phone: 604-708-0881) is a funky vegetarian restaurant with retro decor and a liberal, activist vibe.
