| - Montreal's filled with beautiful people speaking a beautiful language, so after soundcheck at La Sala Rossa we decided to walk down St-Laurent, taking in the sites and possibly some dinner. We spotted a VEGAN place across the street that looked real healthy and the clientele was nothing short of bonny, so we took a booth.
THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!!! If yer touring through Montreal, you MUST eat here. So many good things on the menu and they're all made with some serious love. The wait staff is super pretty and nice too...
Giancarla had the Dragon Bowl and thought it was "excellent." She felt the cabbage and the carrots and the sauce that came with it were "so fresh" and not "vegetabl-ey." She went on to say, "the dressing was real yummy and the rice on the bottom had some sort of sauce,...I didn't know what it was, but loved it anyway."
Sondre had the Buddha Bowl and states, "I come from this with a perspective of someone who's not a vegetarian or vegan, but I like exploring and I thought it looked like a great establishment and I was VERY impressed. I'd say it was Ace. I felt very good about the meal and I'd never had tofu like that before. [the tofu] Tasted so good. And the healthy portion of broccoli is always a plus. You know me, I'm not big on dressings and dips and all that shit, but this sauce was perfect. The stuff on the rice was super good and I liked all those pumpkin seeds. It felt like a full, hearty, and healthy meal."
As for me, I had the Thai Bowl and was real happy with all the carrots, those big stems of bok choy, the brown rice, the peanut sauce, and tofu, but I must say, If I were to do it all over again, I'd go with the Buddha Bowl. I was so jealous of all that broccoli! (Luckily, Sondre was kind enough to share) The Bowls are definitely big enough to share or take half home for the van ride later, so keep that in mind when yer planning ahead to your post-show-midnight-meal.
All 3 of us got the fresh juices and were blown away. Sondre and Giancarla got the TONIC (Apple, Lemon, Ginger) which was super spicy and made them feel like it was immediately working on repairing the throat and boosting their sinus immunity. A+! I was elated to drink the (Apple, Carrot, Beet) juice cuz I know Beets are so good for me. Health...in a glass. Sondre even went nuts an ordered a fancy green tea on top of all that (for his pipes). He was in a decadent beverage heaven, of which, he'd make a solitary promise to re-visit as often as possible through the consumption of fresh and healthy juices around the country; or die trying. (at least that's what his expression supposed)
We didn't have time to eat dessert, but I can't imagine it'd be anything less than "fett."
GO EAT HERE!!!!
