This restaurant is known for the wide array of foods it serves during brunch, lunch and dinner. You can find anything from pizza, turkey, beef, pasta dishes, fish to cakes and pies. The restaurant also has a full bar and lots of seating for groups.
I have spoken to the manager and his response to most of my questions when asked if they contained any animal products was that "they should not contain any".
I went to the 2901 boul Tachereau ST-Hubert location.
This place has been there for a very long time and it shows it. Most of the furniture is damaged and the place in general is old looking with lots of signs of wear. They really need to update it. The staff is generally nice and helpful with a few exceptions to rude waitresses. This restaurant also has a problem with keeping the food warm, if you take the food on the bottom of the metal container it is nice and hot but the food near the top is not. Other times the food is just cold. I brought this up to the waitress and I was told "it is normal and kind of like a microwave when it sits in the metal containers". ??? yeah really ..... whatever.. bottom line is food at a restaurant should be hot....
I choose the following, First up was the steamed broccoli, chop suey vegetable mix, brown soya sauce rice and soya sauce noodles. As far as I could tell there was no oil in it. If there was I could not taste it at all.
Next up I found a Greek salad, I removed the cheese but it did have some oil on it, couscous salad, red cabbage but it was to oily for me, sliced cucumbers, radishes and a large white bean salad but again it had oil on it.
They do have other options then just this in the salad section but I just never tried them. Also every time you go they have different dishes. For example they serve a really good potato, onion and mixed zucchini baked dish in tomato sauce and it is so good. It just was not there when I went.
As for deserts I did not see anything I could eat. They have a ton of cakes, pies, tarts, jello, pudding and ice cream.
Cost: 53.91 with the tax for 2 adults and a 7 year old kid.
Would I go to this restaurant again? If I have to with a group of people sure but all in all I would not choose to go myself.
