Amazing restaurant

Went twice in one week while visiting friends and family in Montreal. Both times with non-vegan company, both times everyone was happy with the food and restaurant. Delicious drinks, tasty food, the presentation is also great.

Pros: Great food and drinks, Beautiful decor, Friendly staff

Cons: Can be very noisy

LOVed it

Incredibly delicious and creative food in a beautifully decorated restaurant.

I was impressed with pretty much everything. I recommend the mushroom risotto and the poached pear! I haven't tried the cocktails but my friends said they were great.

Unfortunately they were out of crème brûlée the night I went, so I'll have to go back.

Delicious dinner, relaxed vibe, great space

We had Beet tartare on smashed avocado with taro chips to start. Our server suggested the large size to share, and it was a good call. It was fantastic! Then we both had house-made vegan patty cheeseburgers with Quebec fries. I asked for the Kimchi fries, and they were amazing. Everything I saw on other tables looked good, too. Very nice staff, great decor.

SO GOOD!!!

atmosphere & delightful bites. the kimchi fries were INSANE i’ve never tasted anything like it before, so delicious! the soup could’ve used a bit more flavour, maybe some salt or even a bit creamier - however the place was outstanding and i need you to go! (the avril amaretto sour was incredible!)

Pros: intriguing menu, lots of options, great cocktails

Cons: a tad expensive, tables are super close to one another

Exceptional vegan food !!!

My goodness this place is incredible!! Myself and my partner were blown away. The interior is beautiful, the staff are so friendly , and the food is simply divine!! We got the ricotta and the halloumi salad for starter. The halloumi dish was so fresh and tasty, but my goodness the ricotta was one of the best things we’ve eaten. For mains we got the cheeseburger with kimchi fries and the mujadarra bowl - both were excellent. We then got the crime brûlée for dessert and it was stunning. We got way too much food but don’t regret it!! Will be back here on every visit to Montreal!!

Fave restaurant in Montreal

I always try to visit at least once or twice whenever I’m in Montreal. Have had nothing but absolutely fantastic meals every time. Brought two non-vegan friends and they both loved it too.

Pros: Amazing food, Great staff

Cons: It’s a little pricey

Beautiful, creative plant-based cuisine

Beautifully presented plant-based food in a chic ambiance, with creative twists on classic dishes. This is definitely an "insta-worthy" place to visit! I love that their menu relies mostly on whole plant foods and very little on processed vegan meats and cheeses.

The mujaddara bowl was was a feast for the eyes and the palate - it came with confit garlic tahini, pesto, vegan feta, pomegranate, crispy onions, and candied walnuts. It's a seasonal dish so grab it while you can! The portion was large and filling.

The appetizers we got were a bit pricey for the small portion they came in, but still delicious nevertheless. The "calamari" was made of hearts of palm and tasted quite convincing, especially with their creamy lemon-truffle aioli. The fried dumplings were served with a decadent almond butter & kimchi sauce that was so good I could literally drink it straight up (LOL).

On weekends they have an awesome vegan brunch menu. I recommend the tofu benedict (the crispy tofu & the truffle aioli that comes with the potatoes are to die for).

They also have a great selection of cocktails and wines. I would recommend the Peachy Keen cocktail or the sangria if you're looking for something fruity and refreshing.

Gluten-free options are clearly labelled on the menu.

Délicieux et gourmet

Malheureusement, les succulents Gniocchi n’y sont plus offerts! Or, nous avons dégusté le bol Californien qui était fort riche (beaucoup de carbs incluant patates blanches, patates douces et riz basmati!), le risotto (onctueux de noix de cajou) et les entrées de betteraves et de frittes Kimchi. La qualité des aliments fut excellente. Toutefois, les prix ont encore considérablement augmenté! Ce restaurant est charmant et romantique, mais pas donné!

Pros: Aliments frais , Portions copieuse, Goûteux

Cons: Un seul type de prosecco , Peu d’options sans gluten, Dispendieux

Expensive and not that tasty

Props to our very hard-working waiter who did his best to keep us posted. Kitchen was backed up so it was a long wait for food. The appetizers were both good...we had the hearts of palm calamari and the dumplings. I had the Mushroom burger entree. The bun was hard and the bottom was cold. It was too heavily fried (the mushroom) for my taste. The truffle fries were good.

Pros: All vegan, The appetizers, Truffle fries

Cons: Expensive , Long wait for food, Food didn't live up to the hype and cost

Okay

I was expecting more. The space is cute, but service was super slow and food was underwhelming. The curry lacked flavor and tasted like a watered-down, store-bought curry sauce.

Pros: Fully vegan, Cute, Convenient location

Cons: Food is blah, Service was slow

Truffle fries

The food was pretty good, and the cafe itself was very cute. The mushroom risotto left more to be desired, but other items like the truffle fries were really great!

Best vegan Montreal

The kind hospitality, attentive staff, excellent variety of plant based/vegan options and drinks both mocktails/cocktails, and perfect sized portions won our family of 5 over. Gender neutral washrooms that have single stalls and communal hand washing station is welcoming. The decor and variety of seating options from high boy seating, bar seating, round tables, and whimsical hanging wicker chairs give the place major charm. It’s a must to stop here and eat anytime of the day!

Pros: Friendly charming service, Perfect sized portions , Gender neutral washrooms
