Some of the most flavourful food in all of Montreal. Well worth a detour or even visiting the city just to try it.

One of the best & authentic Thai food in Montreal. Their red curry & green curry are too good! I was dreaming about it 2 days after I had the food. Their vegan chicken skewers are amazing with ting of lemon! I recommend the place every single time. It gets really crowded in the summer, so call to reserve.

Went on a Friday evening. Sat at the bar as I was by myself. The staff is very nice & friendly. Cereal gave me recommendations for places to visit in Montreal!

I had the Tom Yum & the Crispy Duck. The Tom Yum lacked depth in flavors but the crispy duck was too good! I had never had something like this in vegan food before

Definitely worth a visit if you are in Montreal

Un des meilleurs restaurants vegan de Montréal selon moi. Les plats sont excellents & originaux. C'est incroyable la créativité que le monde végétal rend possible; un voyage pour les papilles. Le service est irréprochable.

Panang Neua Cari, Sticky rice, & red Spain wine;

I haven't tried this type of food with such tasteful, well-balanced ingredients, rich broth, & a long-lasting texture.
