Le Don is a serious vegan restaurant with a chill yet lively atmosphere. We visited on a Monday…read moreevening and the place was packed to the brim -- after about a 30 min wait, we were luckily the last couple to be seated!
We started with the panko-fried cauliflower, a creative take on the veggie served with a vibrant green herbaceous sauce that added an interesting layer of flavor. For entrées, I really enjoyed the tostadas -- well-executed Mexican flavors loaded with veggies, cheese, and surprisingly satisfying plant-based "meat" chunks. The Thai tofu and vegetable soup was warm and hearty, although the flavors were a little too subtle for us and could have packed more punch.
For dessert, the eleven-layer chocolate cake certainly looked decadent, but unfortunately the vegan interpretation of this indulgent classic didn't quite hit the mark for us.
Service was warm and friendly, though a bit slow -- perhaps we're just spoiled by the pace of NYC dining!
Overall, Le Don impresses with its creative concept, varied menu, and cozy atmosphere. Set moderate expectations & it's definitely worth a stop for a relaxed vegan meal in Quebec City.
