Quebec

Aaaaaah ^^ je me disais aussi

Well in Montreal, but I'll spend a few weeks in Ontario (Ottawa) first.

Anybody from over there? I'll be horribly lost when I arrive

I'm in Ottawa.

That's awesome Meatless! How is it for vegans over there?

Kill_Uncle, where are you in Montreal?

Rahkoon- it's pretty good. We've got about half a dozen vegetarian restaurants and a number of places that are veg-friendly. But I don't eat anywhere outside of that "list", the city as a whole isn't terribly veg-conscious and I encounter a lot of "do you eat fish" even when I say I'm vegan. Which amazes me because this city supposedly has more university degrees per capita than anywhere else in the world. There's a few really good health food stores too. Do you know where you're staying in Ottawa? I could help you out a bit better. Let me know if you want more info.

Kill_Uncle, I'm not familiar with Montreal yet, I only went there twice on vacation. That's also my point : I'm not sure where I'll be moving to, because I don't have an idea what the city is like when you live there! I've heard Le Plateau was a nice place, but that's about all I know for now

That's awesome Meatless! Do you have the Commensal restaurants in Ottawa? I remember eating there a few times when I visited eastern Canada.

I know the address I'll be staying at (my boyfriend's aunt) but I have no idea where it is concretely. Any info would be welcome, indeed! I'm afraid I'll be really lost when I arrive there.

Thanks a lot to you guys !

No, there are no Commensal restaurants here (but their products are sold at some health food stores). There are a couple of similar, buffet pay for what you take restaurants (The Table www.thetablerestaurant.com/ and The Green Door www.thegreendoor.ca,) a Thai restaurant (Sacred Garden Vegetarian Thai Cuisine), a quasi-Indian place (www.perfectionsatisfactionpromise.ca ), and a place that is omnivorous, but has a 100+ item vegan menu (www.sogoodfood.com,) and a veg cafeteria in the ByWard Market called Peace Garden. Wild Oat Bakery in the glebe also has a cafe and is all-veg. There's a good veg menu at Horn of Africa downtown, and a few other places. Happycow has a good Ottawa listing, but I can't vouch for the restaurants on it I haven't been to.

Thanks a lot for the list, Meatless! I'll make sure to check these out when I'm in Ottawa. It all sounds great.

Kill_Uncle, well, what area would you recommend? We need it to be French though

Thanks a lot Can I PM or even MSN you guys sometime? I wouldn't want to "pollute" the forum with useless/irrelevant posts...

If you're asking me, sure, PM me if you have any questions.

Same here - feel free to PM me anytime you want.

Well thanks a lot everybody, I really appreciate I might PM you guys this week. Have a good day!
