Vegan/Vegetarian Restaurants in Montreal

Hey everyone! Hope you guys had a great halloween! what did you dress up as?

Sorry for my lack of posting the past two days... school assignments caught up on me and so I was hiding in the library studying.

If you don't know I have entered Suki in the Fido Casting Call contest and recently she has been stuck in the 600's so please go vote for her here: http://www.fidocastingcall.ca/dogs/16125 and spread the word!!! (NOTE: even if you have previously voted you can go vote again, its a daily thing)

I was recently asked what are some good vegan/vegetarian restaurants in Montreal so I thought for this post I would let you know about all the places I have been and if I am missing any that you liked and think I should check out please let me know!

Aux Vivres

What it is: Vegan Restaurant, juice bar, and express lunch
What to get: I am more of a salad person when I go out to eat so I liked the salad du jardin with tofu but my friend who went with me loved their brunch menu which is served on the weekend from 11am - 4 pm.

ChuChai

Location: 4094 Rue St-Denis
What it is: Thai vegan and vegetarian food, can order take out.

What to get: Appetizer wise there is a dish that won awards and you just mention it to them and they know what you want (sorry I can never remember the name), for the main you HAVE to try the crispy 'duck' served on a bed of spinach in a soya reduction.

Highlight: By far the Duck!
