West Island vegan staple turning out shawarmas, burgers, and Lebanese-leaning plates so satisfying that even the carnivores in the family stop complaining about the trip out.

Plateau · 545 Rue Milton, Montréal, QC H2X 1W5, Canada
Homestyle comfort food without the meat, vegan and gluten-free options across the menu, a few minutes from McGill. The jerk tofu and nourish bowls do the job after a long day.
Montreal's plant-based scene has matured past the point where vegetarian means a sad side salad. The restaurants on this list are destination dining regardless of your diet. Chefs here use Quebec produce, local grains, and fermentation techniques that make vegetables the centre of the plate without apology. Several of these spots attract committed carnivores who come for the food, not the philosophy. The Mile End and Plateau are the epicentres, but plant-based options appear on menus across the city.
