Worst dining experience in my life - Edit
First, start with a basic education, as to what is veganism, and what is vegetarianism. Once you know what it is, look online and find some recipes, and learn how to cook some basic things that aren’t disgusting.

Very accommodating to dietary needs - Edit
Feb 2024 update:
Read moreThe dinner buffet (offered during the Ski Marathon weekend) is 70$ per person. The staff were very accommodating to my dietary needs. When I told them I am vegan, the chef showed me around the buffet, pointing out all the vegan options. Their salad bar is quite extensive and impressive - I especially enjoyed the sweet potato & sun-dried tomato salad and the brussels sprouts & pineapple salad. Although there were very few vegan options in terms of hot foods, the chef offered to make me a special main dish (barley risotto w/ acorn squash) which was very filling and delicious. Additionally, although there was no vegan dessert available at the buffet, they made me a vegan creme brulee, which I was also impressed by.
The Chateau Montebello's ambiance and service are unbeatable. It's definitely pricey but worth it if you want to treat yourself!

5 stars! Absolutely Amazing! - Edit
Would give it 5 stars if Happy Cow would let me. The main restaurant has a full vegan menu that includes a couple appetizer and main course options. I had the kale salad and risotto with tofu and both were delicious.
Read moreFor the buffet brunch, there are very few options (oatmeal and fruit). The chef (Chef Richard) greeted us and made us tofu scramble with potatoes and vegetables. It was one of the best meals I’ve had in awhile. Wow!
Pros: Full vegan menu, Accommodating staff and chef, Delicious food
Cons: Pricey

Terrible for Vegans - Edit
The restaurant is not vegetarian but they have a separate vegan menu. We started with the appetizer. It was described as almond and cashew vegetal cheese plate, dark cocoa, and date crumble for $15. When it came it was not vegan! It was a real cheese platter with grapes and crackers. - no cocoa and no date crumble. I told the waitress and she said she would check the menu. We waited a long time and then she came back and gave us a dish of cashews!! Then our meals came. One meal had been described as sautéed rice noodles with tofu and basil. It came as large noodles with tomato sauce and cheese on top. The other entree was a squash and chickpea cake over a root vegetable ragout. It really didn't taste like chickpeas but seemed to match the description- I question if it was really vegan.....
Read moreThe entrees were $36 each! They were both fair at best.
The woman packed up our cheese plate and said the chef said the platter was vegetarian and they must have changed the menu.
We made the decision not to get into a discussion about what vegan means as their primary language was French and it just wasn’t worth the energy.
Obviously whoever wrote the vegan menu wasn’t working and didn’t pass the info on to anyone else. Perhaps no one has ordered it before as obviously they didn’t have any cashew cheese around.
The only positive thing was the view of the water.
With tax and tip, it was over $120 without drinks or dessert - for two of us. We are definitely never going back.
It reminds me of when we would go out to dinner 20 years ago and the term vegan was unknown and everything vegetarian was smothered in cheese.
