More than a restaurant, a movement, they say. Tera V not only makes a delicious array of tofu and tempeh veggie burgers, but the owners are also dedicated to running a sustainable restaurant that uses recyclable, compostable material and chemicals that are natural and biodegradable. The potato and yam fries served with your burger are baked, not fried, and you can taste the freshness of the (mostly) locally sourced ingredients.
Romer’s Burger Bar uses only organic, pasture-raised beef and you can taste the difference.

For patty fanatics who are looking for plenty of options, this is arguably the best burger joint in Kits – or close to it.
