Good food & friendly service.
We tried the server's recommendations; crispy duck & dumplings with peanut sauce. While they were not exceptional, we enjoyed them.

La nourriture & l'accueil furent sans reproche. Nos papilles ont fait un voyage merveilleux grâce à la cuisine unique & éxotique. Recommander pour végétaliens ou curieux de bonnes tables.

Surévalué mais quand même bon selon moi. Dog friendly sur la terrasse!!
Végétarienne, je ne suis pas une habituée des restos véganes mais j'aime essayer de nouvelles chose donc why not coconut. Le service est super efficace & sympathique, on ne vous presse pas pour manger vite & partir même sur la terrasse, c'est apprécié.
La description des plats est alléchante, avec du poulet & de crevettes véganes. Hahahaha. C'est du tofu qu'on a vaguement coupé en lanière lol. Donc le pad thai royal, c'est des nouilles avec du tofu coupé de façon différente. C'est pas mauvais, mais ça reste un plat de nouilles au tofu avec rien de royal pantoute. Les boissons alcoolisées sont chères, une demi-carafe de vin blanc est 35$. J'ai pris le cocktail MK2 avec alcool mais je ne crois pas qu'il y avait même une once d'alcool dedans. 4 gorgées de liquide dans un verre de glaçons, 14$. Ça goûtait le jus, rien de spécial.
J'ai adoré les dumplings sauce arachides, & le plat de « canard » de mon amie avait l'air délicieux & c'est son plat préféré quand elle y va, comme bien des clients selon ce que j'ai remarqué sur les tables alentour.
Facture pour entrée, plat principal, un cocktail & une bière, plus le tip: 63$. Donc les prix sont raisonnables sans alcool.
C'est pas mal si on passe dans le coin mais je ne ferais pas une heure de transports en commun pour y aller.

We didn't have a reservation, the restaurant was full, but we were accommodated despite. There are only good things I can say about this place. Food A1, service A1, Staff very welcoming. Didn't think vegan would ever taste good. A lot more outside of the usual potato dish

Honestly one of my favourite vegan restaurants. I love everything on the menu, so tasty & delicious. I brought my meat lovers, & they LOVED everything we had, they said that it tasted very very good & they would go again.
I recommend this restaurant to anyone, meat lovers, vegetarian, vegans etc… you won't be disappointed.
Service was excellent too, the atmosphere is welcoming, a must try if you're in the area 🙌🏽
