Amazing Meal

Everything was fantastic. When we walked in, the owner treated and sat us. She talked with us and answered our questions about the restaurant. The waiter was helpful and amazing as well. We started with some vegan wine, a German Pinot Noir. Light and delicious. Then we had the steamed dumplings. Wow, they were amazing. So delicious. For our meals, we had the Risotto and the Pavé. Again, both meals were delicious. (See pics) Looking at other customers orders, all the food looked delicious. Of course we had to have dessert. We had the chocolate mouse and the panna cotta. You would not be able to tell these were vegan, so good. If you are ever in Montreal, I highly recommend this place. Enjoy!!!

Pros: The staff was friendly , The food was amazing , Cute place

Cons: Nothing at all

Thoughtful fare, great service

Thoughtfully crafted and presented food (and drinks) that happens to be vegan. No prepackaged substitutes, menu items not named after animal based dishes. Favors and textures thoughtfully paired. Service was excellent and welcoming. Higher on the price side, but felt worthwhile for the quality. Only bummer was the food took so long to come out, we couldn't try dessert as we had a show to get to.

Pros: Thoughtfully prepared whole foods dishes, Excellent service, Delicious cocktails

Vegan fine dining

The dishes were works of art. And delicious. Just the right amount of food. The drinks were also very good. One of the best restaurants I've been to.

One of a kind!

Sophisticated and flavoursome food. Impeccable service. Cozy yet elegant atmosphere. It’s not easy to find these kind of dining experiences as a vegan and this place is one of a kind. Will surely be back.

Fantastic Supper, Relaxed Atmosphere

Gorgeous plates that are scrumptious. There is a Sunday night Table d’Hote deal right now for a three course meal. I loved it. I picked dumplings as my appetizer, the Pave (which I would say is pommes Anna with duxelles) and chocolate truffle for dessert. I had a nonalcoholic local beer as well, also very good. The service was perfect, Andy didn’t mind my poor French and he could answer all my questions in English. He was very kind and thoughtful. I thoroughly recommend this cozy restaurant.

Pros: Delicious food, Friendly service, Easy to get to, near Beaudry metro

Dinner in a nice athmosphere

Great vibes and a nice selection of tasty dishes to share (not a lot of mains). I’d say ordering three appetizers is enough for two people.

Pros: 11/10 playlist!

40th Birthday


Was in town to celebrate my friend's 40th birthday and decided to try this place. We opted for lunch and I decided to try their Pave. The dish was very flavourful and the service was quick. Definitely worth it.

Great vegan restaurant

I came here for the weekend brunch. The savory waffle was delicious, as was the tiramisu. My family enjoyed the Benedict as well.

Great selection of artfully crafted cocktails. I loved the Verde cocktail - light, refreshing, and botanical.

Nice, upscale yet cozy ambiance. Friendly staff. Timely service. Reasonable prices (it came to 115$ after tax and tip for 3 people). Portions are a bit on the small side but still decently filling.

Gorgeous food

Had one of the top ten meals of my life here. Brought my omnivorous parents, and they were blown away. The focaccia will change your life.

Great vibe for dinner

I had come previously for brunch (great spot - must have the waffle!) and tried it for dinner and it had a great trendy vibe and really good food. I recommend the rissoto and the sashimi.

Brunch

We visited Bistro Tendresse for brunch. Their menu contained some interesting options we haven’t seen before. We had the savoury waffles, the eggplant burger, and chocolate tiramisu for dessert. The waffles were great, nice and crunchy and topped with a wonderful mushroom sauce. The eggplant burger was good, with a big slab of eggplant and a side of excellent fries. The chocolate tiramisu was a layer of coffee soaked cake, topped with a fantastic chocolate mousse. The food was great, and we would definitely eat there again.

Pros: Great food

SO marvelous! A must-try for every vegan!

We loved the menu choices (crispy brussel sprouts, pavé, and cauliflower entrée!)
The best part of the meal was our terrific server, Rose!

Really a place worth trying (and returning to!)

Vegan Tapas!

This is a cool vegan restaurant in the village with an international take on tapas / sharing plates!
We loved the food and the vegan tiramisu for desert was to die for!

Delicious and beautiful dinner!

We had a delicious and beautifully presented dinner at Tendresse. We started with the Focaccia of the day with smoked eggplant spread and pesto. It was sublime! My husband had Cauliflower (Roasted cauliflower, corn cream, tempura leaves, marinated cauliflower, lemon gremolata, fermented hot sauce.) And I had the Tostadas (Crispy corn tortillas, creamy white bean purée with tahini, peach and red cabbage salad, black garlic & maple vinaigrette, corn drumsticks, almond queso, green oil) Both were elegantly plated, delicious and satisfying mains. The staff was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere very subdued and classy.

Elegant vegan brunch!

All vegan restaurant with an upscale vibe and menu!

Went here for brunch and got the French toast which was a little too sweet, but tried my friends got the savoury waffles and breakfast tacos which were amazing. I’d come back again for those items.

The portions were on the smaller side, but fairly priced for the beautiful plating, fresh ingredients and great service.

Excited to come back here for dinner.
