50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Montreal

“What an incredible dining experience! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the service was great, and the food... just wow. The foie gras poutine and duck in a can were rich, decadent, and absolutely unforgettable! Definite must-tries. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“We celebrated my husband’s birthday here and had an amazing experience.
The service was outstanding — our waiter was incredibly attentive, explaining the menu and daily specials in detail, and helping us choose the perfect wine.

We started with the croquettes, then had the rib eye with carrots as our main dish — everything was delicious. We found it funny that, for my husband’s birthday, they placed a candle on a potato instead of a dessert 🤭 — such a quirky and memorable touch!

For dessert, we ordereded - apparently their house specialty. It was worth it.

Total including tip and 4 glass of wine was close to $400.

All in all, one of the best dinners we’ve ever had in Montreal. Highly recommended!“

“The food (taste, selection, portioning, presentation ) is top notch. Service from the moment you enter the establishment, to the server, is excellent! It is obvious that lot of thought was pit into the menu and a lot of training and expectation were placed on the shoulders of the cooks, managers and servers. Will return on my next visit to Montreal . Thank you Monarque!“

“The food of this place and the customer service are really disgusting🤮🤮🤮🤮“

“Definitely my favourite restaurant in the city. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere. The crudo and tartar were to dieee for. Seriously never had a tartar like this one.

“Bon, beau, service impec!“

“Excellent restaurant, menu diversifié, délicieux plats et tout le personnel très attentionné. Je ne peux que recommander ce restaurant.“

“Le service était excellent! La nourriture et les cocktails sont délicieux et abordables! Nous sommes allez un jeudi, il y avait un DJ qui ne fait que du vynile, ça "fit" parfaitement avec le décor tamiser qui nous ramène quelques décennies dans le passé! Je recommande fortement“

“We sat at the bar and it was excellent. We had the steak frites and it was so good! The chocolate cake and the orange cake are also excellent. Our waiter for amazing, thank you! We didn’t catch his name, sorry. 100% recommend! I’m not a huge seafood fan so we enjoyed the steaks.“

“Tucked inside the Ritz-Carlton and nestled in the heart of Montreal’s art district, Maison Boulud delivers an elegant, upscale dining experience that balances refined French cuisine with warm Quebec charm. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable—polished yet welcoming, with that unmistakable attention to detail you expect from a Ritz property. It’s an ideal setting for a romantic date night or a special evening out.

🍲What I Tasted: We began with the foie gras, which quite literally melted in the mouth—a decadent, flavorful opener that set the tone for what was to come. Our entrées, pan-seared scallops and salmon, showcased the true brilliance of French cuisine: the sauces. Each one was a delicate, layered symphony of flavor that elevated the entire dish. While the scallops initially came out overly salted (and surprisingly the server claimed were supposed to be), they were graciously redone—this time cooked to perfection.

💡 Standout Feature: The service —attentive without being intrusive, and executed with the kind of polished grace that reflects the Ritz-Carlton standard. From menu guidance to seamlessly handling a re-fire on a dish, the staff delivered a level of care and professionalism that elevated the entire dining experience

⚠️ What Was Mid: The only drawback was the atrium seating, which in the off-season lacks the charm and ambiance of the main dining area.“

“Came for MTL á Table promotion - a wonderful evening! This was high level cooking in a style I didn`t know, sub-Saharan African specialties and inspiration. The servers were warm, professional, knowledgeable and courteous. The atmosphere was cozy but not cramped with music that was not too loud and convivial. And the food was great - every dish came out perfectly, beautifully presented, delicious even though it was unfamiliar (part of the appeal). From the dual eggplant with watercress foam stew appetizer through the cooked banana with light chocolate and biscuit dessert, all was done to perfection. My main course (Palette of Bon Bœuf low-temperature beef, lacquered with tomato juice flavoured with curry and turmeric, butternut squash purée, potato cromesquis, marinated zucchini roll) was amazingly tender and delicious. Artful and satisfying, we will be back! An additional thanks for using warm serving plates, which kept the delicious hot food warm without rushing through it! It`s a sign of a good restaurant that knows what it`s doing. Highly recommended!“

“Had a good time here for a friend's birthday. It looks like the space is too compact but when you sit down it's actually quite nice and adequate spaced. I had the lamb which was good, but the hummus was much better! Lots of the shareable dishes are the better menu options. We'll come here again.“

“Came here with my partner for a drink. It's nice that you have an all adult section to avoid kids if that's your preference. I enjoyed the beer although I found the aperol spritz on the high end. I'd come back although I don't think I'd order that again.“

“Très agréable expérience culinaire Le service est exceptionnel Les saveurs, la présentation des plats, Tout était délicieux“

“Fabulous spot. The menu looks deceptively simple, but dont be fooled. Dishes are designed to be shared - our favourite type of meal. Each dish is beautifully crafted with fresh ingredients and careful thought to flavour combinations. We had the ceviche, beet salad and the beef with chimichurri sauce, and then the banoffee pie for dessert. We loved them all. We’re still dreaming of that ceviche! In retrospect, probably would have had the rhubarb tart for desert instead, but we enjoyed the banoffee too.

Service is excellent, just the right amount of advice, attention and casual interaction. Love the no tipping policy too! Certainly didn’t impact the level of service :)

The atmosphere is casual and easy. Many came in just to have the burgers - I’m guessing they are fantastic too. Maybe next time!

One other note - Google AI told me that reservations are not taken. This is not the case, we reserved a few weeks ahead. It was for a Saturday night - not sure if that is an exception, but worth noting.“

“My last restaurant visit on my roadtrip to Montreal after a floor New York. I had the seared Taylor seared tuna and it was great. I had a Japanese soda with floating balls. They didn’t have takoyaki but a side salad with squid. The atmosphere was great and the ladies who served me were fantastic. It was better than the Japanese places in Pensacola. I don’t know when I’ll be back in Montreal but I’ll try to head there again.“

“Un incontournable ❣️ Ambiance décontractée, plats simples, abordables et surtout, délicieux. Chaque plat est savoureux et on sent que le tout est préparé avec beaucoup de soin. C'est un bijou comme endroit.“
