Quebec

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.

If we're talking about vegan Poutine sauce:

1. St Hubert Poutine Sauce Mix - Vegan and Delicious

2. Club House Poutine Gravy Mix - Vegan and almost the equal of the St Hubert

3. French's Poutine Sauce - I don't have any right now, so I can't say but it's vegan for sure (I suspect it is). Thickest of the bunch, but less taste than the other two.

I have seen the French's at many Dollar Stores. The other two should be available at Maxi, Loeb, Loblaws, Sobey's, and even some dépanneurs. MMmmmm - frites et biere, c'est ci bon.
