"About as Vegan Friendly as Saskatoon Gets"   My Rating

	Review: For the fondue, the Upstairs used to declare right on the menu which options were vegan with a \"V\" but that has now been removed. So you will have to ask. When I mentioned I was vegan to my waitress she was really helpful. The \"cheese\" fondue was okay...I've made better myself at home but I still appreciate the novelty of ordering a vegan fondue in Saskatoon. The soups are excellent, I really recommend the chickpea-sun dried tomato one they always seem to have. For the main course, you can get faux chicken/beef and various veggies. Most of their chocolate fondues are vegan as well. I've never been there for lunch, so I can't comment on their non-fondue menu.   Pros: vegan options * nice place to go * friendly staff Cons: expensive * vegan options not clearly labelled *

"Vegan Fondue -- I LOVE IT!!!"   My Rating

	Review: I've never had fondue before and didn't even think that vegan fondue was an option. Very nice atmosphere and the menu actually indicates what is vegan and what isn't which is great. One option is a prix-fixe menu with 4 courses. First the appetizer which involves some veggies and fruit and vegan bread with a vegan cheese sauce (made with tofutti), next is the soup or salad course (i had the delicious sun-dried chickpea soup), next is the main course which involves your choice of 3 options (broccoli, falafel, vegan mock meats, mushrooms, cauliflower) it is served with delicious potatoes. The platter is brought with many different dips (all vegan i.e. salsa, teriyaki etc) and you cook it in the oil (or hot rocks). FInally the dessert which is fruit that you dip into the chocolate fondue (many vegan options, creme de menthe, peanut butter). The dessert is HEAVENLY. One of the best things I've ever tasted. The martinis are good too and the menu actually indicates which martinis are vegan. This is a really nice restaurant and the service was really good and friendly. They also sell various vegan wraps and soups if you don't want the prix-fixe menu. Because this is fondue it's not a quick meal but if you are looking for a nice time out and to try something different this is the place to go. I went on a Monday but the place was pretty busy. I think reservations are normally needed. Because you have to walk upstairs to get to the restaurant it isn't appropriate for someone in a wheelchair. Definitely one of the most interesting meal experiences I've ever had and the food was great!!!!! Our meal for 2 prix fixe dinners and 4 drinks was about $100   Pros: Something Different * Food & Drinks Superb * Nice & Friendly Atmosphere Cons: Not wheelchair accessible * *
