Guests who are looking for a restaurant like yours.
Celery Juice Club is a community of about 100,000 people on the West Coast who eat a clean, plant-forward diet. Finding somewhere to eat out is the hardest part of their week. If your kitchen can serve one dish without 14 specific ingredients, we’d like to list you, free of charge.
Who our members are
People who start every morning with celery juice and avoid a short list of ingredients. They cook at home most of the time, because very few restaurants fit. In all of Vancouver, we know of about two.
They come looking
Members search our directory before they eat out, and plan trips and meals around the places they find.
They come back
When a place works for them, it becomes their regular spot. There aren’t many alternatives.
They tell each other
Our community shares every good find. One listing reaches people in your city and visitors passing through.

Hi, I’m Alex.
I live this way myself, so I know how it feels to walk past restaurant after restaurant and end up cooking at home again. Our members feel the same way.
I started Celery Juice Club to bring us together and to find the restaurants willing to cook for us. Every listing is checked personally before it goes live, and I answer every message myself.
Alex, founder of Celery Juice Club
