| - I have to update my review of this place, for the third time. Why's that? you may be wondering (or not). Because I've been there numerous times in the past few months and had much, much better experiences, that's why. They offer free samples of food at the counter (on occasion), and the food is fantastic. When I asked, they let me know that I could have as many free samples as I wanted. I had to keep myself from eating all of it.
Being a typical garbage vegan, I had been accustomed to garbage vegan food (deep-fried and generally unhealthy food, in other words) at other restaurants and I feel like I initially gave Panthère Verte an unjust review. However, I now feel like I can give a pretty accurate account after having been there nearly a dozen times.
First off, the sandwiches. I have to admit that it took me a while for the veggie burger to grow on me. The staff definitely stepped out of the box when they first created it; however, that's not to say that it isn't delicious. It's just not your traditional veggie burger. It's basically composed of a pita filled with alfalfa sprouts, chunks of veggie pattie, pickle slices, and doused in what tastes like Big Mac sauce. Trust me, it grows on you. I've eaten every sandwich here so far and I found all of them to be refreshing and delicious. My favourite one is the Chickebab, which again, is amazing.
I once decided to try some of the desserts, and my mind was blown. The cake is amazing; I'd even go as far as to say that Aux Vivres has some serious competition in that department. If I had to recommend only one plate though at La Panthère Verte, I'd recommend the hummus and pita. The hummus is so fresh and delicious, and it's one of the most affordable plates. I go in there all the time (at varying levels of soberness) for it and can't get enough of it.
And now, my pièce de la résitance of the review: the staff. The staff is part of what won me over on this place. They are extremely kind, patient and courteous to customers. They painstakingly explain all of the ingredients to every customer who asks and what vegan food is to the occasional hungry wanderer who walks in by chance. Once I wanted to have some beer on tap with a buddy of mine and they apologized that they had no gas to pump beer out that evening. They did, however, offer us LARGER organic beers from the fridge for the cheaper price of a beer on tap. You can instantly tell that the staff really care about their restaurant and about their customers' satisfaction.
So I'm a little in love with this place.
