 Sophisticated yet relaxed |
1242 Mackay Street Montreal, QC H3G 2H4 Canada +1 514 932 7099 |
The atmosphere is sophisticated yet relaxed at this highly regarded Mackay Street Asian establishment. The chef is Vietnamese, but he is adept at a whole range of styles, from Szechuan and Cantonese to Thai. The appetizers are distinctive both in texture and taste. They include Mini-Crab Rolls and Hunan Dumplings, while main dishes feature a series of lively hot pots and Vietnamese soups. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Terrace at its best |
3990 St-Urbain Street (At Duluth) Montreal, QC H2W 1T7 Canada +1 514 842 3110 http://www.santropol.com/ |
Amid a ramshackle décor of mismatched furnishings and 25 years of knick-knacks, this western-Plateau institution serves gargantuan gourmet sandwiches to a crowd of students, bohemian types and a few tourists. The backyard terrace is perhaps its most delightful feature. Vegetarian sandwiches dominate (the Killer Tomato, with fresh and sundried tomatoes, garlic, cream and cottage cheese), but carnivores can try to wrap their mouths around the towering St-Urbain Corner (chicken, cream and cottage cheese, honey, nuts and olives, CAD8.25). No alcohol is served; try the fruit drinks and herbal teas. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Meaty vegetarian |
4088 St-Denis Street (Near Duluth) Montreal, QC H2W 2M5 Canada +1 514 843 4194 |
If you like Thai food but you are also a vegetarian, this is the place to indulge your tastes. The décor is not overly formal and the ambience is guaranteed to set you at ease. Avoiding even nam pla, Thai cuisine's essential fish-based sauce, the menu includes a series of "vegetarian meat" dishes. These are bean curd products, processed and cooked to look and taste like meat. Standard vegetarian dishes are also available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Meat for the vegetarians |
4088 Rue St Denis Montreal, QC H2W 2M5 Canada +1 514 843 4194 http://www.chuchai.com |
Tired of the same mundane vegetarian grub? Chuchai is for you. This purely vegetarian eatery is known for its faux meat and serves up a variety of Thai delicacies. Noodles, mock chicken, mock shrimp, mock fish and tofu entrees cover the major portion of the menu. The flavors and aromas speak of traditional Thai. Do try the mock fish with basil, coconut milk and spicy sauce. The non-vegetarians will be in for a surprise and for the veggie freaks, it will definitely be a never before experience.

Imaginative and extensive |
1204 McGill College Avenue (At Ste-Catherine) Montreal, QC H3B 4J8 Canada +1 514 871 1480 |
From its humble beginnings in a walk-down basement hall on St-Denis Street, this vegetarian concern now has franchises in Quebec City and Toronto. The room and décor are sparse and utilitarian, but its large windows provide a great view of the street theatre scene along Ste-Catherine Street. The imaginative food is served on a huge buffet, and even timid carnivores should find plenty to please the palate. There's also a large selection of salads, desserts and juices. At last word the buffet cost CAD1.59 per 100 grams. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Upscale Japanese |
368 Laurier Avenue West (Near du Parc) Montreal, QC H2V 2K7 Canada +1 514 279 4809 |
The elegant, modernist setting for this popular Japanese restaurant and sushi bar is perfectly in keeping with the excellent cuisine. Diners can choose from over 20 appetizers alone, ranging from dumplings to tempura to sushi and sashimi. Soups and salads precede a suitably giant selection of main courses. Steak, chicken, seafood and tempura platters are alternatives to the huge selection of sushi and sashimi. Second location at 1731 St-Denis Street, near Ontario (+1 514 844 5705).
