Amazing Meal - Edit
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!!!

Thoughtful fare, great service - Edit
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.

One of a kind! - Edit
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 - Edit
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.

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.

40th Birthday - Edit
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 - Edit
I came here for the weekend brunch. The savory waffle was delicious, as was the tiramisu. My family enjoyed the Benedict as well.
Read moreGreat 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.

Brunch - Edit
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.

Delicious and beautiful dinner! - Edit
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! - Edit
All vegan restaurant with an upscale vibe and menu!
Read moreWent 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.
