Happy Veganuary From Bandidas

We want to send a great big “thank you” to everyone participating in Veganuary this month! And we want to help! If you’re having trouble coming up with tantalizing vegan meals at home, come on down to Bandidas! Everything we make is vegetarian and vegan possible. From the Ronny Russell burrito baked with Daiya or house-made cashew queso to the Spicy Winston nachos, we have something for everyone.

Capetownape (New Art at Bandidas)

The Earth Day fundraiser was a huge success, and we adored having some colourful East Van student art on our walls for a few weeks. As is usual at the time of the art swap, the restaurant has undergone a bit of a transformation with the hanging of Daniel G. Poggenpoel’s (aka Capetownape) work.

Student Art Show for Earth Day

We’ve launched a student art show alongside our fundraiser for RAVEN Trust’s Pull Together campaign. The works comes from three East Van classrooms whom we connected with after our Fireweed fundraiser and art show on Inauguration Day. The classes visited Bandidas to study art and its role in democracy, and returned to the classrooms to create their own works of response to the election results.
