This week-end really was the perfect summer week-end: warmth, sun, light breeze and clear skies. My boyfriend and I took advantage of this by exploring our area, and we stumbled across the Pur et Simple restaurant right on time for brunch. Perfect! This restaurant is an organic and vegan place which focuses on serving wholeContinue reading “Pur et Simple, a restaurant review /// Critique de resto”

L’Gros Luxe 100% Végé, a new staple?
This week-end is supposed to be one of the worst rainy week-end of the summer. What did we do to make it better? Easy: Brunch! This week, my friend Thao from La Végé d’à Côté wrote an amazing review on a new vegetarian and vegan spot in Montreal: L’Gros Luxe 100% Végé. It looked likeContinue reading “L’Gros Luxe 100% Végé, a new staple?”
An afternoon in Montreal: Les Jardins d’Ambroisie and strawberries in the park
Summer is definitively in Montreal! The sun was out this morning, the breeze was refreshing, and it was just the perfect day for a picnic. So I put my ginormous pile of need-to-be-corrected exams, and went for a stroll with my boyfriend. We were really excited because today the Marché Fermier was starting again! NearContinue reading “An afternoon in Montreal: Les Jardins d’Ambroisie and strawberries in the park”
Pure Kitchen, a restaurant review
Sunday, after attending the Ottawa Veg Fest, we went to eat at Pure Kitchen. Apparently, this restaurant was launched by the Pure Yoga studios’ team. Their vegetarian menu includes many delicious vegan options, juices and smoothies. I really enjoyed their neutral decor: done all in black and white except for a very colorful wall, theContinue reading “Pure Kitchen, a restaurant review”
Product Review: Mycryo Powder
A few months ago, my mom brought back a bottle of Mycryo powder from a chocolate fair. I had seen this product at the Montreal Vegan Fest, as well as the Salon des Métiers d’Arts, but always thought it was some fancy product that only fancy chefs used. Well, it’s not. At first, I wasContinue reading “Product Review: Mycryo Powder”
Blanc de Gris, or how to have a mushroom farm in the city
Last summer I had the chance to visit the urban farm Blanc de Gris which specializes in growing mushrooms. After being a little bit confused by the very urban setting (the farm is in fact situated in an old warehouse), Dominique, one of the co-founder took us around a tour of the “farm”. One word:Continue reading “Blanc de Gris, or how to have a mushroom farm in the city”
Perfect Brunch, an “Aux Vivres” review
Aux Vivres is kind of a no-brainer for Montreal based vegans. It holds a special place in my heart as I remember going in there a few months after they had opened and being amazed by their Dragon Bowl. Then, I remember my fun lunches with friends. I also remember multiple birthday celebrations, meetings andContinue reading “Perfect Brunch, an “Aux Vivres” review”
Poutineville, a restaurant review
If you are outside of Quebec, Poutine might not rhyme with delicious, yet caloric, potatoes and gravy. And cheese. Yes. As a vegan, I was very disappointed to say goodbye to poutine. That is until I heard about Poutineville during Montreal’s poutine week. You see, unlike most poutine places, this restaurant gives you a pre-madeContinue reading “Poutineville, a restaurant review”
Teashop, a cafe review
This week has been incredibly busy with work. You see, I have to give in my grades for next Friday, but I am so tired with just the regular teaching stuff that correcting my 197 writing productions (ranging from 200 to 500 words… I seriously need to make these kids work less) is just killingContinue reading “Teashop, a cafe review”
Copper Branch, a Restaurant Review
As we were downtown, we decided to go try out Copper Branch. We didn’t know anything about it and so, we came in with an open mind. The first thing that surprised us was that it is actually an ordering counter that could fit in any food court, and not a “restaurant”. We were howeverContinue reading “Copper Branch, a Restaurant Review”
