We went to this small cafe during a winter storm day in Montreal. Despite no other place being open or ready to sit us, this local cafe welcomed us with open arms. Although not everything in the menu is vegan, they have a vast selection of vegan dishes for you to try. This includes soups, pastries, breads, and meals. We had the opportunity to try the vegan poutine during our stay. The sauce on this poutine is made from mushrooms and it is so rich in flavour that I would consider it a culinary delicacy. Talking with the chef, we found that this marvelous sauce takes two whole days to make, as it needs to sit in to absorb all the flavours. The cheese, although of unknown origins, was delicious in on itself. When the plate first comes to you, the cheese blocks stand out. However, the more time passes, the more the cheese melts and blends in with the rest of the dish discreetly integrating itself with the sauce. The potatoes themselves were perfectly cooked. Not one undercooked and not one overcooked. The crisp exterior along with the soft interior of these potato cubes made eating them a joyful experience that I wish everyone in their lifetime could experience. Overall it was a great dish, and I will return next time I am in Montreal.
