I would go 100 miles out of my way to eat at Le Commensal and I'm not even a vegetarian. The cold buffet is the salad bar of your dreams---I remember huge platters of avocado halves vinaigrette (plus every other imaginable salady thing, all delicious). The hot buffet has EVERYTHING from lasagnas and moussakas and real mashed potatoes to Boeuf Bourgignon without the boeuf only you won't care. The desserts look good but I've never been able to get that far. You help yourself to what you like and they weigh your plate. Strongest possible recommendation to anyone going to Montreal. There are several branches: google Le Commensal for details like locations and hours.
