A great choice of hot & cold vegetarian & vegan food. You simply choose from the many & varied dishes then pay after your plate of food is weighed. Everything we ate was delicious. We will be back as places like this are rare.

Both the café & buffet offer an incredible selection of unique vegetarian dishes, many of which I haven't come across anywhere else in the GTA. The variety & flavors are truly remarkable.
As vegetarians, it's often challenging to find such an extensive range of options, especially in a city like Montreal. However, this place stands out by offering an impressive selection, including many vegan dishes that perfectly suit vegetarian preferences.
I wish I could have tried everything, but my appetite had its limits!
While the food is fresh & the variety is great, it's hard to justify coming here more than once a season when there's so many cheaper options in nearby Chinatown. It's rather easy to find vegan/vegetarian dishes there too- most restos have tofu on the menu & the Chinatown jade buffet has an entire section of vegetarian food (which I believe is also vegan).
We didn't try the buffet, only the little cafe & sandwich counter. The chai latte was really good !! We tried the tandoori & the bbq sandwich as well, they were made of marinated tofu. It was quick & very decent, bread was fresh. My only complaint would be that they aren't entirely vegan. Most options are, but they still serve some vegetarian dishes as well.
"Absolutely stellar experience at resto vego in Montreal! From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance was warm & inviting. The menu offers a delightful array of creative dishes bursting with flavor & freshness. Each bite felt like a culinary adventure, showcasing the chef's skillful mastery of plant-based cuisine. The staff were attentive & knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations. Our dining experience was truly unforgettable, & we left feeling nourished & inspired. Highly recommend to vegans & non-vegans alike!"
Had such an enjoyable experience here. It's rare to find a casual restaurant with such good quality & variety of plant-based dishes. My favorite was the Mediterranean curry. The buffet upstairs is key. Plenty of cozy seating downstairs. Highly recommend, especially for vegan & vegetarian diets.
Because I’ve only been here twice & tried two different kinds of sandwiches (I will let pictures speak for themselves), I don’t know if the other dishes & desserts are as good. The one thing I know for sure is it is affordable & the quantity & delicious mix of ingredients are filling enough in a good way. Plus, the location on Saint-Denis has an outdoor terrace which is lovely now that summertime is finally here in town!
