At this beloved restaurant, customers tuck personal notes into rosewood desk drawers on business cards, invoices, or napkins. One moving TripAdvisor review from a mother reads: “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, savor the green vegetable curry, grilled house tempeh, Cajun burger with chickpea fries, choco-coco tart, or vegan chocolate cake.
