| - Copper Branch satisfied both me and my foodie-vegan friends (clarification: I am not vegan, or even vegetarian, but I can get down with tofu when the duty calls), so if you're looking for a quick spot to satisfy multiple dietary preferences, I give this place my full endorsement. We were literally standing on a street corner, starving and cranky after a long and foodless trek up and back down Mont Royal and Rue Peel, when Copper Branch appeared on Yelp and saved the day.
I had the "Aristotle" bowl, which was a massive bowl filled with fresh greens, sweet potato, avocado, smoked tofu, a balsamic-based dressing, and other yummy veggies. It was extremely filling! I shared a raspberry chia pudding with my friend, which was delish, if a little runny. My friends loved their bowls and sandwiches, including a very pink beet burger. There are tons of vegan and gluten-free dessert options, and many of the entrees are gluten-free as well.
Oh-- the POUTINE! Vegan poutine sounded like an oxymoron to me, but damn, this was GOOD. The fries are thin-cut and delectable and topped by vegan gravy and cheese sauce that is really, really, really yummy. Get it!
