Chef Veganessa is so yummy! The food was delicious & super tasty. I went with my 12 year old celiac daughter. She got the pizza & I got the gyro. They were both delicious. I loved the taste of the tzatziki on the gyro, & loved the cheese of the pizza. One of the owner's (the husband of Vanessa) was serving us & he was so sweet & friendly. As for price, it was reasonable. Actually, thinking about it, gluten free food is often at least twice as expensive as other food, & this was by no means twice as expensive. It was as priced as much as any other restaurant would be priced. & don't get me started on the dessert. I have no idea what crazy magic they are using in order to make a vegan gluten free dessert, but they were amazing. We actually picked 3 desserts between the two of us because we couldn't pick. We had the brownie, a cake pop & a smores cookie. They were all delicious. & I am not talking delicious'for' a vegan dessert, I am talking delicious like just as delicious, if not more delicious than what you would get at Rockaberrys (& better priced!). Honestly, I recently tasted a regular gourmet cookie for 5$. It was no better at all than this similarly priced dessert at Veganessa. & it is celiac safe!!! Usually celiac safe stuff is twice the price if not more. I am not vegan or celiac, & was kind of like, oh well I don't want a vegan dessert, but it was honestly amazing. & I took some home to my meat loving husband & kids, who were surprised at how good it was. & the portion sizes are generous for the meals & the desserts. My only'negative' is that it isn't really''kid food'' friendly, in the sense that the food is all'fancy' to a kid. I thought it was awesome, but my kid wanted the''usual'' kid menu item food & thought the pizza was too fancy (So i ate the leftovers happily). But she said the crust was really good compared to other gluten free pizzas. Small little suggestion is to have a small'kid friendly' item on the menu. But for adults, whether you are celiac or vegan or not, this place is amazing. Very happy to have found my new dessert place for my celiac daughter to eat safely!
My best favorite place for vegan food. Wish I lived closer.🥹Everything is tasty. They have the most delicious burger,& ohh you have to try their cupcakes.

This place is a 5* gem! One of a kind. I have been ordering from them long before their beautiful Kirkland location. They clearly love what they do! It shows in every bite & with every smile they share with their clients! Thank you for making gluten free a delicacy! 🤌🏼❤?
Veganessa never disappoints! Delicious, healthy food with zero guilt. It's'fast food' that actually leaves you feeling great after eating.
Alex & Vanessa are always warm, welcoming, & genuinely kind-service with a smile every single time. I just had the Malabar Curry Bowl, & it was perfect for a cold winter day: comforting, flavourful, & absolutely delicious.
Thank you for bringing such an amazing, healthy vegan option to the West Island. Keep the magic going! 🌱

I visit Veganessa often, & every time I'm reminded why it's one of my favourite spots. The staff is absolutely splendid-warm, welcoming, & attentive without ever feeling rushed. The food is consistently extra fresh, full of flavour, & clearly prepared with care. Portions are generous, & the prices are more than fair for the quality you get.
Whether you're vegan, gluten free or just looking for great, fresh food, Veganessa never disappoints. Highly recommend!
Tout est excellent! Les propriétaires sont attentionnés & chaleureux & le service hors-pair. Nous avons des allergies & nous sommes très heureux d'avoir Veganessa pour pouvoir nous gâter.
