Don Vegan Restaurant

Really nice menu here. Many good choices. The impossible burger and the burrito bowl were fantastic! Nice to see a place like this in Quebec city. It's a change of pace from the typical style of Quebec cuisine, that's more rich and meaty. Great flavoured dishes here, and it's a great and healthier dining choice.

One amazing place amidst gigantic French cuisine. It's very special and we loved being there. My husband was very curious to go back again on the next day. We called and had a reservation. People are very friendly. Food was mind-boggling. Haven't tasted anything like this before. Vegan food, didn't felt like vegan at all. Very tasty and desert was amazing. Don't miss to try Don signature dishes.

An absolute must if you’re vegan/ vegetarian traveling through Québec. We ate here four times the 3 days we were in town! The food was beautifully presented, the Caesar salad is possibly the best I’ve ever had, and the service was spectacular. I really don’t know what we would have done without this place, because there are not a lot of veg options in town. Luckily they deliver spectacular vegan fare and make you feel right at home. We loved everything about this place.

Great fully vegan restaurant in the middle of Old Quebec! I read reviews beforehand so I knew that their spicy dishes weren't labeled as such, but I did mention to my server that I didn't want anything spicy and he made sure I got what I wanted and advised me the delicious donplings might be a little too spicy for me. I ordered and LOVED the Carbonada spaghetti and Poor Man's Pudding, a traditional Quebecois dessert gone vegan! And the water is fresh from Canada, not the tap! Just a warning that if you want to bring your kids here, the music can be explicit at times, which I wish they would change to make it a bit more family friendly.

Le Don proves to me that some vegan dishes just won’t ever be worth the dollar sign attached. Great appetizer with the cauliflower bites. The burrito bowl for $26, however, was a huge letdown. Rice, jackfruit, avocado, and baby spinach with tortilla chips, does not a $26 burrito bowl make. My girlfriend got the bibimbap, and she was also let down by just how pricey it was ($28) for what was mostly just vegetables in a bowl. I think the menu has a lot to offer, and we just chose things that weren’t quite up to par. The rest of the food that we saw from other tables looked great. The desert was fine (cheesecake) and the Vegan Bloody Caesar was actually, probably, the best I’d had in my entire weekend in Quebec City! Give this place a try, but ask the waiters for their recommendations. I wish we had done the same!

I had high expectations after reading the reviews but unfortunately I was left quite disappointed. First, the food: both the DONplings and the Beet Tartar were much spicier that I expected. I can handle some spice but even my partner (who loves anything spicy) said that they should have put a spice warning on the menu. The Panko Cauliflowers were pretty good though, but waaay to much for a starter! Next, the Don Sauté was horrible: it was described by the waiter as a Pad Thai but clearly only in resemblance because the Thai taste was not there. I'm not sure what it was about it, but I couldn't eat it after a few bites. My partner and I usually share half half all the dishes at restaurants so I also had a chance to try the Agnolotti. They were quite good overall, but they were drowning in an overpoweringly creamy sauce which made the dish way to heavy. Being Italian, I don't expect the same level of food quality outside Europe, but my experience was definitely not worth the expensive bill. I understand that Quebec City is pretty expensive, but I ate much better at Pizzeria Polina and Chez Victor for a fraction of the price. And it's also not my intention to criticize a vegan restaurant, because being vegan myself, I always want to support likeminded businesses. I would like this review to be taken as a constructive criticism from someone who is well travelled and knows her way around food and knows how to distinguish pretentious from original and authentic. Lastly, the service was not extraordinary. I understand that in North America, where waiters need to "earn" their tips, they are usually too much in your face with asking you how is everything going. However, our waiter would pass by our table while our mouths were full, asking with hurry if "everything was alright" without even waiting for the answer because he was already gone. Either don't ask anything or ask once or twice but genuinely interested in the answer. All in all, don't build up your expectations as I did. If you're ready and willing to spend a lot of money, go ahead and try it, but don't feel bad if you don't. And for the restaurant management: innovation in food is good, but up to a point. Don't try to create innovative dishes or do fusion cuisine without keeping some of the original flavors.

Definitely one of the top restaurants in Quebec City. From the trendy vibe to the exquisite food, this restaurant is top quality. All of their dishes have unique flavours with a diverse cuisine choice to match your cravings. My girlfriend and I had the Mushroom fettuccine which was delightfully rich and creamy, and also the Bibimap bowl which was a beautiful mix of vegetables in an fantastic Korean sauce. Vegan or not, anyone would love this restaurant.

The best Vegan food in Quebec City. Went twice in one day. Delicious ?. Had the platter, bipimpa, risotto and yummy desserts. The dumplings tho are the best.
