Many visitors appreciate the friendly and accommodating service, the quality of the beer and cocktails, and the pub’s overall role as a community-focused gathering space that provides a pleasant backdrop for social outings.
La Cale offre plusieurs options véganes, ce qui est très apprécié. La nourriture est très bonne, l'ambiance est agréable, & les spectacles qui y sont présentés sont de grande qualité. C'est un endroit vivant, chaleureux & accueillant, autant pour prendre un repas que pour passer une belle soirée.
Je recommande fortement ce bar-resto, autant pour la qualité de sa cuisine que pour son engagement envers sa communauté. C'est également le point de collecte de mon panier Lufa, ce qui témoigne, selon moi, d'une belle ouverture envers l'alimentation locale & durable. Une adresse à découvrir & à encourager!
Nous sommes venu•es ce soir & nous sommes régalé•es ! Mon conjoint est végétarien & était ravi qu'il y ait de chouettes options, les bières étaient très bonnes ainsi que les cocktails sans alcool & le service était top ! Un grand merci & bravo aux artistes qui jouaient sur scène.
Mention spéciale pour le projet zéro déchet qui donne envie d'être encouragé, on reviendra !
P.S: Le cheesecake est à tomber !
I was very happy to see so many vegan options ! I was in a hurry & received the best service. I was able to get my poutine & leave within 30 min ! A bit salty for my taste, but loved the place:)

A friend from work suggested this spot for our recent visit to Montréal. It was extra appealing for their accommodations for dietary restrictions, since we're traveling with someone who can't have lactose or gluten.
We were initially seated at a high, very small table. When we asked to switch to a booth, we were accommodated as soon as it was possible. The waitress was very attentive & helpful.
Our friend was very happy with having'low gluten' options, which he is okay with. The options & transparency on the menu makes it perfect for the dietary restrictions.
The vegan poutine was good, as was the Eggplant-Ricalstta alla Cannelloni. My cauliflower wings were fantastic. (& we might just be traveling with someone who doesn't appreciate poutine. We will forgive him).
Loved the drink options for cocktails & beers, ultimately went with the original cider which was perfect.
The dècor & atmosphere was great, nice lighting, cool posters, & live music was starting as we were leaving.
Very cool scene, good food & great service!
Belle découverte avec un beau choix de bières ainsi que des plats avec des options végé/vegan/sans gluten.
La salade maison qui vient en accompagnement est délicieuse, le pain Kaiser pour le burger super goûteux, les frites étaient aussi excellentes.
Les portions étaient plus que généreuses pour le prix, nous avons partagé les ailes de chou fleur à deux & nous en avions beaucoup!
Delicious food & friendly service. Great local cuisine options & vegetarian options. The patio was enjoyable, & I would return to catch some of their shows inside.
Service was kind & quick, & the terrace out front was comfortable & nice to be in. Ordered a Bloody Caesar & cider. The cider was really tasty & made here in Quebec. Lots of local options on the menu which was great to see. The Caesar however was made with a tomato juice, had no Worcester, no horse radish, the rim used tasted odd. The pickle was really good though.
Service & lieu super! Beaucoup d'option Végane & proposition de me servir du vrai au lieu du Fauxmage. Merci! Mais la frite -bin noir dans graisse- pas bonne. 😖 Mon foie ruschait sa vie pour éliminer: migraine encore 3 heures après & problème de digestion. J'y retournerai pas pour la bouffe mais un verre pour une jase oui!
Awesome restaurant-bar with delicious vegan options, nice music by real musicians! & did I mention friendly service? I had my birthday celebration there with a few friends & loved it. Recommend!
