Epic poutine and burgers. So many options!

The vegan options were plentiful and clearly marked on the menu. Vegan mayo is available. We loved the veganator and the vegan poutine was one of the best I've ever had!

Pros: Lots of options, Tasty, Filling

So glad we found this place

Fabulous Vegan and vegetarian options. We loved the vegetarian poutine and veganator burger. The restaurant was small and charming, with rustic stone walls, the waiter was very kind, the beer list had local brews, and it was just an all-around good vibe. Will definitely go back next time we’re in Quebec.

Vegan Putine and Veggie Burgers

I always appreciate when non-vegan restaurants have vegan cheese and sauces so I’ll give them an extra star for that and the lovely service. I wasn’t crazy about my burger (La Verguez) but my partner really liked hers (La Veganator).

Poutine is 8/10 😋 and portions are great.

Great vegan options & poutine too!!

Loved the easy to read vegan options (in English and French)- we shared the mushroom burger and veganator burger- we both preferred the veganator. The “cheeze” on vegan poutine was quite crumbly - but very very tasty together with the gravy.
I had the green salad with side breaded mushrooms (which tasted like fresh donuts to be honest)- it was great!

Pros: Fair amount of vegan options , Grateful to find vegan poutine in Quebec City, Great friendly service

Cons: Expensive, They serve animal products

Burgers et options style dinner.

J'apprécie l'effort, il y a pas mal d'options véganes bien identifiées dans presque toutes les catégories de nourriture (sauf salade...?!)

J'ai malheureusement pris le champoulet frit et j'ai été grandement déçue. Un burger pratiquement vide, quelques morceaux de champignons frits. Le goût était bon, mais vraiment vraiment pas assez de chose dedans, un burger à la panure pour 18$, ça ne passe pas. Une montagne de frites (oui elles sont bonnes), mais surtout pour remplir une assiette.

Quelqu'un d'autre à la table a pris le veganator et c'était super bon, bien garni et savoureux. À privilégier selon moi :)

Pros: Options véganes dans diverses catégories, Veganator

Cons: Dispendieux , Burger Champoulet frit pratiquement vide, TROP de frites (gaspillage, même portion modérée

Vraiment bien et bon!

Nous étions curieux de goûter au nouveau burger champoulet frit. La boulette consiste en des champignons panés et frits. Vraiment délicieux!
Nous avions 2 choix de mayonaises véganes (épicée ou chermoula) pour accompagner les frites. Toutes deux trés bonnes et assez piquantes.
Nous avons vraiment aimé notre repas!

Pros: Plusieurs choix de burgers véganes, Service rapide et efficace, Gâteau au chocolat toujours végane!!!

Good vegan options

Normally I wouldn't go to an omni restaurant for a burger, but since Quebec City is not exactly vegan friendly, places like Chez Victor can be a lifesaver.

Pretty solid burger and fries, big portions. Helpful staff and nice atmosphere.

Amazing

They had a few vegan burger options which is truly amazing and super rare. They also have vegan poutine. It was super delicious too. We went with meat eaters during our vacation and they loved it so much, they wanted to come back another night.

Really good

Vegan burger et vegan poutine. I love this place when you don't want to eat healty, they have two kind of vegan mayo (mushroom and chipotle) and it's really good! Some other vegtarian burger can be made into vegan. Prices are good not too high, and portions are great! You don't leave hungry!

Not really vegan: overhyped

The fries are incredible. The vegan burgers are indifferent mush. The salads are not vegan unless you make a fuss.

Pros: Fries, Option to eat with non-vegans (there are better), Reasonable prices

Cons: Don’t like the burgers , Overwhelming dead meat place

Great Place for All!

My parents and I loved this gourmet burger restaurant! It's on the far end of Rue St. Jean, but is worth the walk. Pub atmosphere, friendly servers, great wine & beer selections, and of course, a wonderful variety of burgers. Most of us eat out with non-veg. people so it's important to find some place for everybody and Chez Victor is that place. There are four veggie-burgers...I tried the grain one and the spinach one, both were good, spinach one was my favorite. It is served with either skin-on fries or a green salad which were both very good. We loved it so much the first time we went back on our last night!

Delicious!

They have this new burger called "Le veganator" and it is amazing!! Taste just like a "meat" burger, it has fake bacon on it too. The staff was helpful, she had mentioned that there could be cross contamination for the fries since they do deep fry some meat in the same oil. Also, for their salads, the only real vegan one is their balsamic vinegar with olive oil dressing. The rest either has sugar or eggs in them. I love going there!

Pros: Burger options are expanding

Cons: Can be pricey

Limited but existing vegan options

They have limited vegan options but the few they have are quite good. I had the Indian burger with its veganaise plus a soup. The food was good (not exceptional but totally decent for a non-vegan restaurant). The place is pleasant and the waitress was nice. Portions are fair for the price and this place can save your dinner in a not very vegan-friendly city.

Pros: vegan options (ask for), friendly staff, veganaise, decent portions

Cons: vegan options not clearly labelled, few vegan choices

Good burgers, but it can be tricky to have it vegan

Victor is the kind of place I go when with omni who can't eat anything but flesh.

It has 4 vegetarians options, of those only one is vegan (the indian burger). They also have a vegetarian poutine wich, my vegetarian boyfriend didn't like. All their bread contain milk exept for the naan bread.

If vegan, order the indian burger or the tofu burger, without cheese and with the naan bread. They also now have vegenaise for your fries wich is great!

Depending of what location you are at, it could be tricky if the waiter doesn't speak English.

Overall good place, but beware of the bread!

Updated from previous review on 2017-01-04

Pros: A few options, A lot of restaurant in Quebec city, Offers veganaise

Cons: Normal bread isn't vegan

Limited vegan friendly options but beware...

Be VERY careful if you're a vegan planning on going to Victor. There are A LOT of hidden non-vegan foods so insist on making sure everything is in fact vegan with the waiter. I go there often and just learned that ALL their salad dressings have eggs in them (wait... what!?) despite the fact that I tell them I'm vegan everytime I go there. There are very limited vegan options (an indian burger, apparently the tofu burger is vegan, salads if you ask for oil and vinegar dressing only). I'm not sure I trust them too much. I'm lactose intolerent as well and I had issues with them a few times about that too.

Pros: There's at least a vegan option, Copious portions, Vegetarian options

Cons: Some waite don't seem to know the ingredients used, LOTS of animal products hidden here and there, Not a place to go if you have food allergies

Veggie burgers with a flair!

It's nice to have not only one choice but six on the menu for veggie burgers.

I had the tofu and mushroom burger with fries and rosemary mayo. I quite enjoyed the combination of tastes and the hand cut fries were not greasy at all. Crisp and hot as they all should be.

Excellent friendly and attentive service with the right amount of visits.

All in all, a very nice surprise as I typically don't eat burgers and fries. Very nutritious and good quality ingredients.

Chez Victor also offers a great selection of beer and wine, including micro-brewed selections on tap.

Pros: Great vegetarian burgers selection, Great service, Great beer and wine selection

Cons: Not I n the old city but still quaint, The mushrooms are pre-cooked so a bit rubbery

Good salads !

Je recommande vivement cet endroit si vous êtes avec des omnis qui tiennent à leur morts. Car en plus de leurs plats conventionnels ils proposent plusieurs hamburgers et salades végétariens/liens. Des salades qui font vraiment envie, et des hamburgers savoureux (j’ai pris la version épinards/noix du brésil, une tuerie !). Très bon accueil et un cadre agréable. Il y'a un autre restaurant proposant le même menu, tout près du marché du vieux port.


Highly recommended if you have to cater for an omnivorous willing to eat dead corpses. They seem to serve high quality meat in addition with vegetarian hamburgers and (original) salads. I went there twice in a week and was very happy to both times. Had a very tasty and uncommon vegan salad the first time and a delicious spinach/brazil nuts burger the second time. Warm welcome and agreeable place to eat. There is another restaurant with exactly the same menu just near the Marché du Vieux Port.

Had better, but not bad

We had looked at the various reviews before going and were not disappointed by the fries and the salad mountain! We tried three of the four veggie burgers but the best was the tofu burger. The spinach one was too dry and the nuts were off-putting for a burger. The magrebhin was not bad a would have been improved by the sauce in the tofu burger.

Downside of our visit - got elbowed three times by the waiter!

Have had much better veggie burgers with better sauces and actual vegetables. But this was not bad.

Pros: Good choice of actual burgers, Nice sized portion

Cons: Bad table locations if not enough staff

Finding something vegan to eat

Quebec City is a very nice city to visit but don't come for the vegan food. We enjoyed the beer, service and atmosphere of Chez Victor but there was only one item on the menu to order. I had the tofu with lettuce, tomato, and fried portobello mushrooms and onions without the bun which is made with dried milk powder. This order comes with lots of fries, too many really, which were very good. We left full and were pleased that we had found some place to eat within walking distance of our hotel.

Pros: Pleasant server, Somewhat central location

Cons: No choice

St-Jean location

The last time I went to the restaurant of St-Jean street, they said they could easily change a meat burger to a vegetarian option, I just had to choose the topping and then the meat substitute. I really like their choices and their fries (so many!) and they also have a decent selection of beer.
I will have to ask about the porc fat and lard in the buns because I think it is pretty inconsiderate for their customers to label something as vegetarian if it is not!

Pros: You can change the pattie in the burgers, Good beer

Great start to a great trip

My first night in Quebec City, my friends and I came here for dinner. One carnivore, one vegetarian and two vegans. All four of us LOVED this place. If you're vegan be sure to ask your waiter about your options, I believe there are two. There are a few veggie burgers but some have egg. I got one, my girlfriend (also vegan) got the other. Both were amazing. The salad dressing with maple is vegan, the mustard one is not (has egg). My veggie burger has some sort of cinnamon compote on top and was really good. I got the sweet potato fries, my gf got the salad and we shared. More than enough portion size for us to share and be full after. The menu is in all french but the waitresses were fluent in english and very helpful. Try the local beer, it's great. The waitress recommended that we go to the place they brew it for a taste test...she gave us the location and explained how to get there...we did that later in the trip and it was amazing. Plenty of parking on the street but be sure you have some dollar coins for the meters (I think you get about an hour per dollar) and I think you need to pay until 9 PM. And if you're stay in lower QC you're going to want to drive up that hill (instead of trying to walk it).

Pros: Great food, Amazing veggie burgers, Helpful staff

Excellent Quebec City option

My husband and I are vegan, and we ate here twice in four days. This is a reflection both of the quality of Chez Victor, and of the lack of vegan options elsewhere.

Chez Victor is a comfortable place with good (and, incidentally, English-friendly) service and a nice selection of beer and wine. They offer a selection of four veggie burgers, all of which can be made vegan with the omission of cheese and mayonnaise. There is also a veggie sandwich. We tried the tofu burger, the brazil nut-spinach burger, and the vege-pate burger. The first and second were both excellent; my husband didn't like the vege-pate burger quite as much, probably because he was expecting pate to equal "patty," but really, it is the vegan equivalent of a (spread-like) pate. I was sorry I didn't think to explain this to him when he ordered (as my French is slightly stronger), but I can't say that the menu didn't describe it correctly.

What sets Chez Victor's veggie burgers apart is that they don't follow the formula of burger + ordinary, boring toppings; rather, each burger comes with unique toppings such as sauteed onions and mushrooms for the tofu, or tomato sauce for the brazil nut-spinach. I would like to see more of this kind of burger construction elsewhere.

Pros: taste, alcohol selection, service

Cons: not an all-vegan environment
