That sounds great. I'll definitely suggest it when my bf returns from Europe. I'll make sure to tell you my thoughts on it.

I saw this product at my local Provigo. It looked really good. However, I just developed a cough and this is not a good time to try it. Hopefully, they will carry this from now on regularly.

There is no Spirite to this Lounge. You soon will find out that the reason you need to ring a doorbell to get in, is the same reason abortion clinics do - for protection but not from meat eaters from past customers. I am a very openminded person, I loved this place at first, I was enchanted from their set-up but unfortunately this is all a facade a not so pleasant illusion. They are not happy vegetarians but money grubbing yuppies who feed you leftovers. There plates are huge but this is another illusion, the actual portions are very small. And the final illusion is the fact they don't have a menu - 'cause they charge whatever they want. For three the bill came up to 70 dollars! We did not have alcohol or anything to drink except one of us had a lemon sprizter. Never in Montreal have a had to pay this much. This restaurant profits off cheap rent and the naivete of others. BOYCOTT SPIRITE LOUNGE! If you want a good honest vegan loving resaurant go to Aux Vivres on St. Laurent, they are authentic have a great menu and serve you with honesty and there plates are yummy and when they say it is 11 dollars it really is.

Does anybody know where I can buy soya beans here in Montreal? I bought one packet a while ago at Metro, but since then this product has disappeared. In addition, I'm looking for more soya varieties, especially black soya beans.

Thanks,

I will be coming to Quebec with my brother for my holidays in July.

How much french do I need to know?

My brother doesn't know any French and I only know a bit that I learnt at school. I will attempt to speak French but I will probably need to speak English quite a lot just to get by.
Do a lot of people get offended if you speak English?

Sorry if these are quite stupid questions but I am seriously worried about language problems.

It depends where in Quebec you will be. In Montreal, there are a lot of anglophone neighborhoods where you will hardly notice you are in a french city (westmount, the areas surrounding McGill and Concordia universities - both located downtown -, etc..) In other neighborhoods, where I live for instance, you'd have a hard time finding someone who speaks English. The Plateau Mont-Royal is pretty francophone as well.

Outside Montreal.. well that's another story! Except for particularly touristic sites, the rest of the province is almost 100% French.

Thanks for the advice. We will probably spend most of our time in Montreal, sounds like a great place.
I will still be taking my french phrase book though :bow:

if you go to turistic spots, English neighbourhoods and downtown, you won't have any problems.

*beep* *beeep* =)

Hi all,
My boyfriend and I just rented a loft/studio in the east end in montreal... 2063 rue Desjardins, I was wondering if anyone could tell me of any vegan health food store options around us. We live in Oakville, Ontario and visit often, but are still quite unsure of our surroundings. Any help would be appreciated.

Bonjour encore,

Also... I was wondering if there is any sort of vegetarian festival this coming soon in Montreal... if you could tell me and provide me with locations, dates and directions from the closest metro that would be wicked....

thanks again

It's been a while, but I just wanted to say that I've seen edamame in the freezer of my local Rachelle-Bery (you probably know the chain if you're from Montreal).

I'm not really familiar with the eastern part of the island.. if it's really "far east", I don't think you'll have much luck finding many health food stores in the immediate surroundings, as the area feels a bit like a suburb. But there are still a lot of HFS in Montreal. Rachelle Bery, as I posted above, is a chain.

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone can provide me with some ideas for dining in Quebec City?
I will be visiting there for one day in September. I have found 4 veg-friendly eating establishments on the internet and I am hoping to eat at a nice light place for lunch and a more up-scale restaurant for supper. Any advice you could provide would be wonderful.

Thanks Alot!

The four places listed on the internet were: Café Humani’terre, CafeMillie Feulle,
Le Commensal and Restaurant Zen

I'm going with my boyfriend and his family for our annual week in Canada. They have a secluded cottage on Lake Papinue, which is located near Bancroft.

Anyways, we usually take a day and spend in town, and I have plans to take some leaflets with me, hopefully hand some out. I've never leafleted in Canada before.....and unfortunately I don't know the extent of animal rights in Canada. So....any advice or tips? Thanks a bunch =)

wow, it's been a while since someone from Quebec posted something here! :p

so, Hi :D
I found this place 2-3 days ago (and I really like it so far)
(and I might add that, even though Montreal is bilingual (sp?), I'm not used to english but I'll try to stick to it, since noone here seems to understand french..)

That being said, I was wondering if maybe you guys could help me with "Canadian's facts" on factory farming and such..
I received today a peta package (with stickers :rockon: and leaflets (sp?) ) and I noticed that there were only facts about what it's like in the US..
I've try to talk to many friends 'bout how animals are treated, but they mostly reply: It's not like that here (Qc, canada)

Anyway, I'll keep searching 'round the web for more info 'bout that..

...
Salut! :hi:

I'm going to Montreal in early July! Any events I should know about? Good places to stay/eat? :-)

Le Commensel is supposed to be a good restaurant, but I haven't been.
