Frommer's Review

Come here for vegetarian fare buffet-style. Most of the dishes are so artfully conceived, with close attention paid to aroma, color, and texture that even avowed meat eaters won't feel deprived. The only likely complaint is that dishes that are supposed to be hot are too often lukewarm. There are more than 100 items, from appetizers to desserts. Patrons circle the table helping themselves, and then pay the cashier by weight -- C$1.80 (US$1.55/75p) per 100 grams for the main buffet, C$2.05 (US$1.80/90p) for desserts. The second-floor location affords a view, which compensates for the utilitarian decor. Beer and wine are available. Additional branches include a location at 1720 rue St-Denis (Sherbrooke; tel. 514/845-2627).
