LA CALE - PUB ZÉRO DÉCHET, IS: A place where, starting in the spring of 2019, you will be able to go out eco-friendly thanks to our zero-waste operational mode. Whether you want to drink a microbrewery beer, a good house cocktail or a bite to eat, you will support local producers and artisans with your presence.
Reviews describe La Cale as a warm, eco friendly pub with a strong zero waste ethos, a lively calendar of events including live music, open mic nights and quiz evenings, and a welcoming staff that many guests call attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is repeatedly praised as cozy and convivial, with a terrace and good acoustics for performances, making it a popular spot for groups and for those with dietary restrictions thanks to a substantial vegan and gluten free offering alongside a solid beer and cocktail list. The menu earns high marks for vegan poutine, cauliflower wings, tofu burgers, flavorful sauces, and thoughtful veggie options, while a number of visits note inconsistencies such as dishes arriving cold or underseasoned, fries burnt, burgers with undercooked buns, and some meals feeling overpriced for the quality. The zero waste concept and the sense of community receive frequent praise, and the staff are cited as especially courteous and helpful. Overall La Cale is seen as a distinctive, enjoyable place that shines in atmosphere, inclusivity, and ethical aims, though some visits show room for improvement in balance and execution and value.
Poutine banh mi exquise! Très bel endroit zéro déchet wow. Service a bien commencé & puis j'ai été oublié une fois le lunch servi seul bémol… silence radio pendant 30 min & j'ai dû me lever pour aller demander de payer 😬
Super pub avec une vocation écologique. Pleins d'événements diversifiés. J'ai fait 2 spectacles de musique avec mon groupe & j'y retourne ce printemps. Personnel hyper sympathique & avenant. J'adore!
Pub chaleureux mais très déçue de la nourriture. En plus de certains plats qui étaient froids, moi-même & d'autres personnes ayant consommé du boeuf ont été malades.

Très beau spot dans Rosemont! Découvert dans le cadre de l'événement Mtl à Table. Délicieux menu qui accommode tant les veganes & gluten-free que les mangeurs de viande; prix raisonnables; une belle déco & ambiance; service impeccable & courtois; & plusieurs événements sociaux/musicaux au calendrier pour vous distraire! J'y retournerais sans hésiter!

The good: Great & effective service.
The less good: The couch is terrible & the table is not the best to eat on, at least the one we were sitting at.
The bad: I didn't like what I ate. It was this pulled duck pancake for brunch. I couldn't tell if it was duck, or not. It was very sweet. A balance of sweet & salty would have went a long way. The pancakes were buckwheat but the texture was... weird. I'm used to that more in the form of a crepe, not a pancake.
Their latte was was very expensive for what it was, & not out of this world either.
The lemonade was really nice, though!
I wouldn't go back, even if I love their concept. It's unfortunate.
The food was very disappointing. Cauliflower wings were cold inside & underseasoned, fries were burnt, burger bun was cold & dense & burger was over cooked
Le burger de tofu était vraiment mauvais, gallette molle & sans goût de 3 pouces d'épais , aucune cuisson. J'avais l'impression de manger une énorme boule de pâte. Nos 3 autres burgers : les pains étaient encore congelés à moitié , mouillés & moites, aucune cuisson non plus.
