| - Ok, I can't believe this place has any good (or even average) reviews. My friend and I (both vegan) went here for dinner one night when we found ourselves downtown and extremely hungry. The place feels like any other fast food restaurant (order at the counter, carry your own tray to your table), which is fine, but good to know before going. We were excited to try everything and so ordered a bunch of food, but unfortunately all of it ranged from disappointing to disgusting.
The Aztec bowl was sad. It was just a bunch of ingredients thrown together without any effort to make the flavours combine. It was dry, under-spiced, and mostly tasteless. The sweet potato & black bean burger was worse. Similarly dry, under-spiced, and tasteless, but it also seemed like everything had been store-bought and then frozen for ages. Easily the worst veggie burger I've ever had. The (small) poutine with portobello miso sauce sounded amazing but was inedible. The fries were soggy, there was so much gravy it seemed more like a soup than a poutine, the daiya cheese wasn't even melted, and the whole thing was COLD. Oh yeah, and everything was overpriced - it came out to about $30 for the three items, before tip.
This place was so shockingly bad that my friend and I talked about it for a while afterward. I can't believe they opened two locations at once. Seems like it's being run by business people who have absolutley no idea how to make food. Even though there aren't many vegan restaurants in Montreal, you couldn't pay me to eat at this place again.
