Business cards, invoices, paper napkins… serve as a medium for the little notes left by customers in the drawers of the rosewood desks in this restaurant. Opinions on tripadvisor, or more moving messages like this mother who writes “Third time I have eaten in this great restaurant… It is still hot and my 17-year-old daughter Olivia has just entered McGill University. She does not yet know that she will need me... for the moment the breath of freedom is blowing in her ears... I love her, she loves me and yet we hurt each other. Montreal will do him a lot of good, I'm sure, the people are so nice… ”. Before leaving your own message, enjoy the green vegetable curry and grilled house tempeh, the Cajun burger and chickpea fries… And especially the choco-coco tart or vegan chocolate cake!

Here the welcome and the service are provided by volunteers and the profits donated to several local associations. "Become a volunteer, it's fun to play in the restaurant for real", we announce on the menu. Fun, and above all very gourmet:vegetarian and gluten-free dishes pair with revisited classic cuisine (poutine with red wine sauce, etc.) or dishes inspired by the chef's travels (Japanese omelette, etc.). Big crush for the lime pie for dessert and especially the family spirit of this solidarity restaurant really like no other.
