Whether we like to enjoy it from time to time or while following a diet, vegetarian cuisine, which has become more and more fashionable, is making its way onto the menu of a significant number of Quebec City restaurants. Here are a few of them that stand out.
Dedicated to living food – vegan, organic, gluten-free and raw – all while focusing on regional products, this small restaurant located on 1st Avenue in Charlesbourg offers a unique take on familiar food such as spaghetti (made from zucchini) and caesar salad (made with romaine lettuce and zucchini bacon). Enjoy on-site dining in their sleek, bright environment or take your meal to go.
On the menu of this renowned bistro on rue Saint-Joseph East, you can find, during both lunch and dinner, excellent vegetarian dishes that you will not regret ordering. While the menu changes according to the chef's inspiration and what he discovers at the market, the quality and flavour are always excellent.
Still on the Rive-Sud (south shore), on rue Saint-Louis in Lévis, L’îlot adjoins the art gallery Galerie Art’chipel and is dedicated to "crusine" (preparation of uncooked food) and to slow food. In the summertime, you can enjoy their raw food dishes on the beautiful garden terrace. Note: breakfast is also served here, along with a nice selection of Camellia Sinensis teas.
On Rue de la Concorde in Lévis, the health supermarket Avril hosts a Crudessence counter that features organic product-based living cuisine (vegan, raw and gluten-free). You can also fill up on small takeaway dishes.
