Restaurant Végo

Une restaurant parfait pour manger santé sans avoir à se limiter à une salade ! Le concepte du buffet est vraiment excellent. Cela permet de choisir le plat que l’on veut manger et la quantité désiré ! J’ai pris une tres grande assiette et sa ma couté 13 $ !
Je vais y retourné c’est certain ! De plus, c’est pres de l’uqam ! Parfait pour les étudiants !

Pourquoi pas je me dis dit en rentrant dans ce restaurant qui s’agit d’un buffet végétarien. Je né suis pas fan de buffet à la base pour 2 raison, 1 car j’ai du mal avec ce surplus de nourriture dont certains gaspille et de 2 pour la qualité des plats qui est souvent moyenne (pas de spécialité de plat donc pas d’expertise sur certains plats)
Concernant celui ci il y a en gros une partie salé et une sucré.
Le prix est au point et à partir d’une certaine limite on paie un tarif fixe.
Au niveau de la partie salé il y a des salades, des plats chaud et on peut trouver son bonheur dans la quantité raisonnable de poids.
Ce que j’ai mangé était correct mais pas eu de coup de cœur particulier.
Au niveau du sucré il y a des gâteaux, des fruits, des mousses et crème. Je dois dire que c’est ce qui nous a convaincu à la base de manger ici car ça semblait vraiment bon. Au final c’est aussi correc mais sans plus, un peu une déception.
Je met donc 3* car c’est pas mal mais sans plus, je né pense pas y revenir concrètement surtout dans ce quartier où il y a pas mal de choses à tester.
Le principe est bon cependant entre le coté végétarien et le coté payer au poids de l’assiette.

Ancien Commensal, ce resto est grand et le choix des plats est varié!
Un peu cher je trouve, mais ça a l’air de qualité, et c’est très bon
Service très correct
Bien situé pour continuer dans un bar autour après!

For what it is, it’s quite expensive. I paid about $ 10 for a small soup and a very tiny amount of a vegan pie. Nah

Super restaurant végétarien mais aussi végétalien. J’aime beaucoup le principe du buffet qui permet de prendre et de gouter un peu de tout, en plus, il y a vraiment pas mal de choix chez Végo. Le seul bémol c’est le manqué de choix en ce qui concerne les desserts végétaliens car lors de mon passage, il n’y en avait aucun ce qui est un peu dommage.
J’aime aussi l’idée de payer son assiette au poids car on peut alors la remplir abondamment sans dépenser une somme folle.
On peut également se faire des plats à emporter soi-​même ce qui est bien pratique.

Really great experience. I came here end of August for lunch with my mom who isn’t vegan or vegetarian. She loved the veggie lasagna and guacamole. I tried a multitude of vegan dishes including one noodle dish which was very good. I wish I would have known they have a cut off for price as you pay by weight because I would have ordered more! I’ll go back the next time I’m there. Cafeteria-​style with each item clearly labelled vegan, veg, gluten free etc.

We are from out of town and were blown away by this restaurant! Amazing vegan/​veg options, many of which are premium and all you can fit on a plate for $ 15 makes it incredible value, the price by weight option for lighter meals is not expensive either. There is a great mix of healthy and more savoury items in the buffet as well as take away options, desert, alcoholic beverages and fresh or bottled drinks. This would be a good place for non-​vegetarian people to see what veg cuisine has to offer. The cute girl at the front was super nice and explained things with a big smile on her face. We ate on the patio outside in the sun and enjoyed the great location. Highly recommended!

the best vegan friendly buffet I have every ever seen. The patio out back is to die for and best of all the wifi is super fast and free.

I’m no vegan expert yet but I liked the selection available compared to most vegan/​vegetarian places. The ice cream tastes great which was a surprise, the pizza however could be better. The soy cheese sticks to your teeth too much.

I went there for a late night dessert with my friends and it did not disappoint. They have everything you could ever dream for — from salads to wraps, cupcakes to ice creams, smoothies to coffees — and the setting is oh so homey! I am vegan so I definitely feel like I found my happy place (they advertise what is vegan and what is not, which makes it so much easier for me, and the staff is always available to answer questions about the different items) and there are a lot of tables, you’ll always find a spot to eat or just sip on an ice tea while reading a book. The atmosphere is very laid-​back and the noise level is ok if you want to study on the ground floor (the buffet is on the upper floor where it’s always a bit more crowded).
The only downside is the price, like many others who have posted reviews, I feel a bit ripped off, mostly for the buffet. The food and drinks sold on the ground floor are still on the pricier side but nothing you would not see at the closest Starbucks. I definitely recommend the place, even if your wallet might suffer a little.

Je viens souvent ici pour des rencontres d’affaires! On est bien, les gens nous laissent tranquille, la bouffe est vraiment super bonne, et le wifi est gratuit!
Rien à dire, sérieux, mais quel merveilleux restaurant, j’espère qu’ils en ouvriront davantage!

We went an hour before closing time and were told that we’d get a 25% discount because it is the last hour. We ate at the location near McGill and really enjoyed the food! There was a small salad bar, soup bar, entrée buffet, and a dessert bar. The food was fantastic, but the hot pasta was a bit too salty. For me, restaurants that charge by weight always come out a little more expensive, which was what I found with this restaurant as well. However, the food was definitely worth the price!

I used to love this place a couple of years ago, but honestly it’s not as good as it used to be. It’s too expensive for what you get.

Tasty, delicious vegetarian food.
They have two areas — a café and a buffet restaurant. The buffet you pay by the weight of your food.
The buffet you get to choose from around ²⁰⁄₂₅ different dishes. They also have a good collection of desserts.
The food is really good — but a bit pricey though.

Nice staff and ambiance, lots of variety in terms of food options, delicious food.
A bit awkward to have the buffet upstairs, especially if you sit down stairs. Carrying a tray down narrow stairs, made me nervous.
The food is way too expensive, to my liking. I love the food but can only afford to splurge like that once a year, especially on a buffet. Im used to more affordable buffets.

Vego was my dream come true once we arrived in Montréal. Vegan and vegetarians of the world, rejoice!
They have a buffet style, with signs that show the vegan and vegetarians options.
Everything was very tasty, fresh and appetizing. And because you pay by the weight, most likely you’ll ended up over eating.
But it’s all good. Guilty free it’s my motto since I call myself a vegan.

N’étant pas fan de la formule buffet au poids, mon avis est peut-​être un peu biaisé à ce niveau. Je suis quand même allé faire un tour avec mon conjoint et je confirmes! Passer ma carte à 3 reprises pour la deuxième assiette et finalement pour le dessert. Comment pourrais-​je deviner d’avance quand ma faim aura sa fin. Le prix Maximum indiqué n’est pas tout a fait réel dans le sens où à un certain poids il y a un supplément à payer. J’ai tout de
Même trouvé qu’il y a une bcp de variété, certain plats sont vraiment délicieux. Je dois malheureusement ajouté qu’il y avait plusieurs petites mouches sur le buffet et même posés sur certains desserts. Je manges ni viande ni mouche ;p ! J’imagine que sur l’heure du midi c’est bien pour les gens pressés! Je suis déçue d’avoir été déçue j’aurais aimé être impressionnée par du changement.

Good options for vegans and vegetarians. Very similar in concept to the Whole Foods hot/​salad bar. You pick out your food and then it’s weighed — cafeteria/​buffet style.
I had a good variety of salads to choose from. I ended up really liking the mini tempeh burger and chickpea marinated salad. The raw goji cheesecake was amazing. No need to pay for water since they have a water fountain in the seating area.
No English advertising is up outside, but then all the food is clearly marked in English, French, and with pictures indicating allergens.

Une bonne place style cafétériat où tu te sers dans un buffet. Nourriture (non pas en poche comme direct l’expression), mais sur plateau, il est question de peser le plat. Le prix sera en conséquence du poids.
Si on veut manger rapidement, mais éviter tout fast-​food qui né sont pas santé, c’est une bonne place.
L’espace est assez grand pour recevoir une foule de personnes. L’accès Wifi permet de se poser travailler tranquillement tout en savourant ses mets végétariens.

The food was alright, but I’d go to any other vegan places rather than coming back.
I feel like getting ripped off from a Groupon deal last time my friends and I came here. They were basically playing with words in the description making you think that you can get a dinner for four for only 30 $. It was basically a 50 $ credits that we bought for 30 $, that can only pay for certain dishes, and cannot use the credit to pay the taxes. We ended up paying more with unsatisfied stomachs.
It’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message.

This is a reliable place for a healthy meal.
They have a great selection of hot foods, a decent salad bar and gorgeous desserts.
The beer and wine is reasonable
There is a student discount
I would say its also a good place for kids.
Great terrace. Lots of seating for large groups.

Toujours frais et rapide.
La chaîné de restaurants le Commensal se distingue par son menu. En effet ils offrent un buffet chaud (burritos, pâtes, légumes grillés, ragoûts de seitan), un buffet froid (salades, crudités, salades de riz), et un buffet de desserts (absolument divins, by the way, surtout les fruits frais accompagnés de crème fouettée au sirop d’érable)
Quelques plats et desserts vegetalien (vegan) pour ceux qui cherchent, mais pas tous. C’est bien indiqué sur l’étiquette au-​dessus du plat.
Comme c’est un buffet il n’y a pas de service aux tables mais le personnel est toujours serviable et gentil. De la caissière au ‘busboy’. Aussi, je trouve que l’endroit est bien divisé avec ses 3 étages. Il ya toujours de la place.
Pour le prix: très cher, attention au porte-​feuille… ca se calcule au poids, donc y aller avec parcimonie pour la première assiette. Un 10% étudiant est offert sur présentation de votre carte :)

This was a tad out of the way for lunch after Musee de Beaux Arts, but I had to check it out as I am mostly vegetarian AND this is basically a savory version of my favorite modern innovation: the self-​serve yogurt shop. As further explanation to Americans if either of these mean something to you think Souper Salad (RIP!) or Fresh Choice, but more exotic. And better. And with maple syrup pie (drool). There is plenty here for both the I love vegetables vegetarian and the maybe if I close my eyes I can imagine it’s a hamburger vegetarian. Watch those eyes in your stomach because you pay by weight, but once you get your plate full head over to the widow and grab a prime people watching spot. Watch the shoppers and business people on the streets below and watch your fellow first time diners plow through their plates stacked 10 inches high. The eyes bigger than the stomach thing.

With all of the other veggie and vegan options in Montréal I just have a tough time getting excited about what’s on offer at Le Commensal. This is essentially a pay by weight buffet/​cafeteria and as such suffers from the freshness issue that it endemic to the delivery system.
Le Commensal gets a lot of extra love (in the stars department) because of choice. Most veg-​heads are frequently subjected to a rather frightening level of same-​ness in available dining options. The reason that love doesn’t extend past two stars is that although there is variety, quite a bit of it tastes the same and I have yet to have experienced anything worthy of remembering well enough to include in — oh — let’s say — a review?
I’m at best a demi-​vegetarian, but I regularly dine with vegans and am well versed in vegetarian and vegan cooking. There are many vastly superior options in Montréal. Please check out my list of Veggies goodness for a better alternative,

The past two times I’ve been to Montréal, I’ve visited Commensal. I prefer the location on St-​Denis over the one around McGill, just because of the atmosphere; it doesn’t feel as cold and sparse as the other one.
The buffet has a good variety of hot and cold foods, as well as some desserts. There’s not really anything I would call too exotic on the menu, so with that said, the food here will probably appeal to vegetarians and non-​vegetarians alike, as well as different age groups. Some of the menu items are kind of bland tasting, but others make up for it.
Food is priced by weight, which can get a bit confusing, all you can do is eye it and hope it doesn’t come out more expensive than you intended. Regardless, the food here is affordable.

Of the two Le Commensal’s we visited in Montréal, this is the nicer one. The food area is HUGE. Lots of fresh-​looking food to choose from. They had this awesome asparagus phillo dish that was SO good. We love Le Commensal, and it’s a great place to take a kid: no waiting on food, and hello– pizza!

I was really excited to go here because, as a vegetarian, I really like being able to go places where I have more than one choice. Le Commensal has a lot of choices at their buffet and many of them are quite well executed.
I enjoyed the ginger tofu and the quinoa salad, but some of the other things were not memorable. The lasagne was just plain bad, so it is a little hit or miss here. All in all, there are some very good things, but it really depends on you to pick the right things to your taste. They had a nice selection of fresh fruits and salad items, as well.
It was nice and quiet when we were here, and I think it would be great for groups. I wish it was a little cheaper to my graduate-​student-​sized wallet.

A great place to explore vegetarian varieties. It’s a vegetarian buffet. The food is charged by weight (kilos). The ambiance of this place is nice. People who works there are friendly. I have been 2 of their locations. But this is my favorite spot.
In North America, I haven’t seen a huge variety of vegetarian food quite like Le Commensal. Even non-​vegetarians like myself enjoys it. And it’s also not cheap.
