Then we were off, walking up and down Princess Street and the downtown harbour area. I like the city. It felt very relaxed. Anyhoo, we did some shopping, stopped for tea and then realized it was lunch time. We went to The Sleepless Goat, one of the places I had read about that was vegan-friendly. It’s a really cool place, a worker’s co-operative. Here’s a small blurb from their website:
“We acknowledge the basic right of every person to food, and will provide high-quality, healthy and affordable food in a warm and safe environment to our guests, regardless of their economic reality. Those who cannot afford to pay will be given their meals with the same dignity and respect as any other guests. We affirm the economy of the gift over and against the absolute commodification of our planet and our daily lives. We are committed to socially and environmentally sustainable and ethical business practices. We will continue to strive for ever more ecologically sound (organic, local, etc.), equitable and direct trade with our suppliers, and make every effort to minimize waste production in the restaurant.”
I had the Toggenburger for lunch. It was a very filling lentil and mushroom burger
topped with sprouts, roasted red pepper and some kind of dressing. It was also served with a heaping salad topped with cranberries and pecans and a pickle! Nicole got the some thing, only non-vegan and the only difference was that hers had some kind of sauce on it. We both enjoyed it though!I encourage everyone to visit their website if you can’t make it there, maybe read their mission statement and if you’re ever in Kingston, definitely check it out. I don’t know about you, but I like to support places like this!
