Came to see what the hype was about & was definitely not disappointed! We got the avocado & beer tartare & the mushroom risotto (vegan version) & both were delicious :) For dessert, we got the brownie & ice cream & while it was delicious, I would not have minded if there was a bit more ice cream to even out the ratio haha! Highly recommend this place!

My fiancée & I celebrated our engagement dinner here, & it was the perfect choice. The lighting was romantic, the tables were lovely, & the food was fantastic. We ordered the arancini, the carbonara, & the risotto, & we inhaled everything. The carbonara in particular was a standout-that mushroom sauce recipe could be in a vault & guarded 24/7. Thank you to the entire staff for the wonderful, thoughtful experience!

The service was impeccable & the food was amazing! I had a mushroom risotto dish as my main & crème brûlée for dessert … both were vegan & completely dreamy! I hope to get back here soon.

A beautiful space with engaging staff with top shelf vegan fare. We came for brunch & had the tofu Benedict & mushroom crostini. Both were amazing. The tofu Benedict was filling with two pieces of the main plated with seasoned potatoes & a very fresh salad. We are in Montreal for a few days & will definitely be back!

Very sad experience. My dish arrived 25 min earlier than my friend, & we had to eat separated. I had the mushroom risotto & the taste was pure black pepper & no salt at all. I don't recommend.

We had the risotto & the raviolis, & had the mushroom toast appetizer. The food was all good, especially the appetizer. Although we thought the mains were a bit bland in terms of flavor. The drinks were really good! As for the atmosphere & the service, it was all 5stars.
