Great food, atmosphere, and service - Edit
Anything on the menu can be made vegan (usually by substituting tofu cream or cashew cheese for whatever the usual cheese would be). We ate at non-peak time and had great service. Everything was fresh and delicious.

Lack luster food and service - Edit
Based on the reviews, I was really looking forward to eating here when visiting Moncton. Unfortunately, the food and service didn’t come anywhere near they hype. The server was cold and unwelcoming, and the food was quite bland with small portions. The Greek salad was just lettuce and the thinnest slices of tomato and onion I’ve ever seen. They must have a super fine mandolin! The dressing was good, however you don’t have anything to put it on. Also, in order to make things vegan, they just remove non-vegan toppings - they don’t actually have any vegan substitutes, such as for cheese. Wouldn’t eat here again.

They have cashew cheese and their delicious tofu cream to substitute for cheese… don’t know how you could find Calactus bland but sorry to hear you had a bad experience.

Tasty pasta dishes and more - Edit
Haven't had such a good vegan enchilada in a long time. My friend enjoyed their vegetarian lasagna. Tea came in a very aesthetic vessel (but the grip area grew very hot making it difficult to pour). Shake was very delicious. Desserts were very beautiful, but taste/texture experience closer to 4/5 stars and could be improved a little.

We were touring the Maritimes and loved our meals so much, we ate there twice during our two days in Moncton. My favorite was the enchiladas. The lasagna and veggie burgers were also delicious.

Must try! - Edit
I’m so glad we found this place on our first of 2 nights in NB. We loved it so much we came back the next night. It’s a cozy restaurant with great atmosphere and a wonderful all-vegetarian menu. All options on the menu can also be made vegan at request. They have 3 different types of replacement cheeses, i had the tofu cream and it was great.

Everything can become vegan! - Edit
I really like this place. It's cozy, it serves really good food. Also I like the fact that whatever you see on their menu, even if it contains cheese, can be made vegan by substituting the cheese with tofu cream or fake cheese sauce. Everyone in Moncton should go there.

Good food, great service - Edit
I got the Taj Mahal Thali which had a dal, and cauliflower pea curry on badmati rice with roti and pakoras in a plum chutney. The pakoras were great! The rest was just OK.
Read moreI also got the raspberry chocolate tart which was good but still kind of tasted like tofu. A little more sweetness (the raspberry coolie was also quite tart) and something creamy to make the tart less tofu-y in texture would have improved the dessert.
My server was great. She recommended things to me and was very knowledgeable abiut what the vegan and vegetarian options were. She also reassured me several times that my dish was vegan - which really put my mind at ease.
Pros: All dishes can be made vegan!
Cons: A little pricey for what you get

Really appreciate how easily they accommodate vegans. The burrito and salad we had were both delicious and packed full of veggies. The homemade flatbread was wonderful too. All the desserts are vegan. We were too full to sample them but they looked great. I would make a point of stopping here next time we are driving east.

Delicious food in a cool spot - Edit
On a road trip, I made a point to be in Moncton for lunch time so I could try Calactus and it did not disappoint! The place is vegetarian, but the entire menu can be made vegan. I had the Indian pizza with tofu cream and pakoras on the side and it was all delicious. I had a meat eater in my group and even she cleared her plate and said how good everything was.
