| - This cafe may or may not be the cutest cafe in world and here's why (mind you that I have an awfully weird definition of cute).
First, insert viral YouTube video of the woman peeling the avocado because almost all the salads and sandwiches have this wonderful superfood.
So...Health freak? Check. Nuts (WALNUTS!!!), fruit (TANGERINES!!!), avocado (YES!!!!), cheese, root vegetables (BEETS!!!) are all possible toppings on the set salad you can choose. There's around 15 salad options available, so really the problem won't be finding something to eat... it'll be deciding what to eat.
Each sandwich comes with a little pickled carrot salad (heads up, they look like beets because they're red!) It's not that tasty, but I would say it's comparable to the pink ginger you get with sushi... a Palette cleanser.
I had two things - the Chicken Avocado sandwich and the Porridge.
The Chicken Avocado sandwich was pretty standard. The bread was toasted to perfection (thin, soft, and crispy on the edges). The chicken was a bit bland and dry... not a fan. The avocado was ripe and the rest of the filling was super fresh.
The porridge on the other hand... was absolutely amazing. It was a perfect balance of sweetness and had walnuts and fruits which elevated the flavours of the dish. The portion sizes they gave could honestly feed around three people, and it was only a little over $6+. Not bad!
My friends had the breakfast crepe. They found the crepe to be extremely delicious, but was filled with far too much cottage cheese.
Overall, do come to Cafe Veritas if you are a lover of all things healthy. Don't come here if you are looking for a REAL Quebecois cafe though. Don't be fooled (ironically) by the name - it's not authentic. Nonetheless, it's still fairly good.
