This is a lovely little restaurant located on the shore of a lake in Cowansville. The town itself is beautiful with its gardens and historical buildings lining the main street. It is well worth taking a a stroll down the street after your meal. We stopped in here for lunch on a late-July day. The parking lot and restaurant are small. You enter, read the menu, and order at the register. They prepare your meal and deliver it to your table. Note that this place is vegan, but they do have meat dishes for those who want them. We stayed with the vegan and ordered the gallette betterave (beet) burgers and the soup of the day. For desert, I ordered a seasoned cranberry bar. We chose to sit out in chairs at the lake shore and you should too if the weather is good. The view was very nice and the late-July weather was near perfect for us. Our food arrived in waves and we enjoyed our soup and then our red beet burgers. Everything was great, but the iced tea was especially flavorful. The cranberry bar was a bit crumbly, but still very flavorful. If there was any negative to the experience, it was the temperature of the veggie burger. Those were stored frozen and ours was not heated all the way through. Still, the taste was great and we enjoyed them. We definitely plan to return to this place.

Finally got to dine at this restaurant on our 2nd visit after being told they are shut on the 1st (though Google said otherwise) We are sooo happy we came back, food was super fresh and just lovely! The tagliatelle was outstanding. Menu is seasonal and keeps changing. The lady taking our order was very sweet and her drink recommendation was spot on - tried the l’herbace. Overall, friendly service, amazing veg food and great location! Must visit!

Everything about this place is great. The food has blown me and my boyfriend's mind so many times. The food is anything but predictable vegetarian fare. It's inventive and amazing. I am a foodie who prioritizes trying foods in every place I go and this is tops!

Amazing food and amazing service! I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good hearty meal. The ingredients are fresh and you can definitely taste it! Can't wait to try the pickles we bought:)

This place was amazing. Took a day trip into Canada just for a change of scenery and had happened upon the restaurant online. The food was spectacular - fresh, delicious and creative. We sat overlooking a lake/river and it was all wonderful.

Amazing place! Will satisfy carnivores, vegetarians and vegans. Menu changes every few weeks, with the freshest in season products from local farms. Very tasty, creative, beautiful serve, sophisticated and simple. Friendly and professional service. Highly recommended!

Words can't do justice for how good this food is. Seriously, if you are browsing through restaurants, reading reviews, trying to figure out where you're getting dinner from, stop, just stop, this is it. Bar none, some of the best food in the province. If you drove from Montreal just to pick up food here, drove all the way back, after you were done eating you would say "hands down, that was worth it".Absolutely no idea at all what those 1 star reviews are smoking.
