Chu Chai is so fabulously good that it wholly deserves every star it receives.
Even forgetting that all food is vegetarian and the 'duck' or shrimp that you are eating is actually soy protein, every dish is so wonderfully and delicately executed that the fact no animal had to perish to accomplish this goodness just adds to the appeal of this place.
I could eat anything from their menu forever and never miss meat.
Unfortunately, we arrived too late for sit down service but the owners were so kind as to offer us take out instead and for which we were gleefully grateful.
Standouts: crispy 'duck' with a sweet soy glaze, tofu in a peanut dressing, shrimp curry and the three mushroom pad siew. (which is pretty much everything I ate at this meal)
I regret that its 600kms away from home but you can be sure I will eat at Chu Chai at every visit to Montreal from now on.
WONDERFUL!
