Great burgers and pies - Edit
I went there once and had a very good experience. I took a vegan burger that was really good (among the best I've had in Montréal), a salad and an apple pie to take away. Everything was really tasty. I'll be happy come back again. It would have been great to be at the city center!

Not for me thanks... - Edit
Don't see what the fuss is about here. We tried several salads and dishes and nothing was particularly good. My bean and rice burrito was one of the worst vegan dishes I've ever eaten. It was, effectively, beans and rice - unseasoned - in a wrap. Didn't even finish it. Salads were mildly better but hardly worth the trip.

Cool, worth checking out, not amazing - Edit
We just went here for lunch. My companion had "the best veggie burger in montreal" and received an ok, dry, lentil based burger. I had a lentil-loaf which seemed to be the same stuff as the burger but mine was coated in a delicious spicy tomato sauce. Of the two of us, I definitely lucked out.
Read moreNow check it out, they have five or six great looking salads and when you get a meal, you get a salad on the side. *But you don't get to choose it!* That's right, we asked for a specific one and they just chose another for us. When we asked why, they said "oh, normally you just get a random salad". I guess that is fine but I really felt like veggies and not like boiled kamut. My friend got beet salad which is great, but some people don't like it. I don't know, do they give you the cheapest ones? It just seems weird.
I don't know where the "outdoor seating" was, I didn't see any but we had a nice little table inside. I would have tried out some of the drinks they have in the big cooler or one of the delicious looking desserts but they had no prices on them and there was no indication if they were vegan or not. I wasn't hungry enough to hassle with asking prices and ingredients for everything.
Overall, I think it's a cool little place, the lentil loaf was great and some of the salads look good - too bad I couldn't try any of those, guess you have to be lucky. I would skip on the veggie burger unless you like yours dry and virtually toppingless.
They should really price and label their things, and allow their customers to choose their food.
Pros: Neat, Lentil Loaf
Cons: Can't choose salad

Overpriced and not very fresh - Edit
Ordered the so-called number one veggie burger in Montreal and received a flavourless and stale offering. The salads were overpriced, not fresh, and all of the same flavouring.

Delicious food for eat-in or take-away! - Edit
This cafe has "Sante Vous Bien" on the sign, so be sure you don't miss it.
Read moreThe veggie burger sandwiches are delicious, with roasted red pepper tahini (homemade) and the best fresh veggie burgers ever.
The salads are always great, and change daily. The raw veggie salad, risotto tabouleh and ginger tofu are my faves. I hear the owner is going to start baking healthy treats soon as well...I look forward to the muffins and cookies...oh my!
The people there are very friendly, and you're definitely welcome to eat in, although there are only a couple of small tables. I had a carrot apple juice as well, which was really refreshing and a very sizeable portion for the cost.
Take the trip to Monkland village, as it's worth it!
Pros: great food
Cons: cafe sized, so no huge dining area
