Tout est excellent. "Poulet", "canard" & "boeuf" végétal à s'y méprendre. Impossible à faire à la maison. Grosse valeur ajoutée! & le service était excellent aussi.
Great service & the food is incredible! Delicious cocktails as well. I feel like the ambiance could be a bit warmer decor-wise, but the service & quality of the food makes up for it!

The best vegan restaurant in the city by far! Amazing food, amazing service Sheryl was very attentive, knowledgeable & incredibly considerate of my food allergy(peanuts). This place is a must try in the city.
The tofu dish with crisp spinach was too sweet. No need for sugar on the spinach. . While the peanut sauce was delicious it too would be improved with less sugar.
The more I think about it the more I am impressed. The restaurant was packed. Not a seat available, not even at the bar & yet the food was impeccable & the servers didn't miss a beat (the server with the necklace was downright delightful).
I'll sum it up this way: After being told we needed to eat quickly as we had the table only until X time (odd way of saying Hi to a customer), we were left without service & the rest of our meal until we had to repeatedly flag someone down...& still almost left without the rest of our meal.
Lemongrass soup & mains were terrific. Sauce heavy on the salad & chicken skewer but the sauces were well done. Overall special menu was a great success. Great service thank you
This restaurant was the saving grace of our Montreal trip. We had been having a hard time finding good Vegetarian food until here. Service was an amazing, cozy atmosphere, packed restaurant. Food was very tasty, however portions of entrees were on the smaller side for price as well tofu & eggplant dish was simple in taste & technique compared to other places I've gotten it from. We got the dumpling in peanut sauce, le tiger cocktail, pad Thai & tofu & eggplant. I wanted to get the fried banana dessert but when asked the dessert selection it wasn't offered.
