• Great relaxing atmosphere

There are not a lot of vegetarian places in Québec, so it's great to have this one. However, it is not the best food i've had in my entire life. Not the worse either. They do a lot of fried items : tofu, sushi, rolls, and desserts ( banana, pineapple... ) I would suggest not to order those because they all taste too salty and oily. Be sure to ask when you order because it's not always specified. Fortunately, the menu is wide enough and it is possible to get something healthier, and tastier. This place is vegetarian, and almost everything can be made vegan if you ask for it. Most of the soups are good. I love their purple jasmine rice, and i love their steamed veggies. They also offer a variety of fresh juices, which is nice. Food is well presented : they do pretty plates, especially their lunch bentos. The atmosphere is lovely. I never seen this restaurant crowded and you can't here a noise from the kitchen. The music is calm and the place is quiet. That might be why it is called 'Zen'. The owner, who generally doses the service, do not speak a lot of french and english but she does understand really well and she is always really friendly. The service is slow, but not in a bad way : like i said, all the atmosphere is zen, relaxing. You go there to enjoy your evening, not when you're in a rush. I truly think, and that is a quality they have, that nothing is pre-made. They take time to cook the food and set a nice looking plate. Prices are fair. They have good deals for lunch. I give this place a 4 because of the service, the atmosphere and the fact that i there are only 2 vegetarian places in the city. The food is really not that bad, there's just too much of fried items. But when you know what to order, it can be really good.
