La majorité des plats étaient savoureux sur le menu offert durant Mtl à table. Une des soupes étaient TRÈS épicée & aucune mention sur le menu.
Nous avons du demander où était la protéine dans la salade du 3e service, ils l'avaient oublié & nous l'ont servi après. Le plat de tofu & gingembre du 4 e service n'avait pas grand goût. Les autres plats étaient aussi très épicés sans mention.

My husband I, on our rare date night, visited C&C... drawn to the premise of highly rated vegan Thai food. We were not disappointed. Everything from the food & drinks to the ambiance & the attentive staff was excellent. We will go back!
