The Best Healthy & Vegetarian Addresses in Montreal
You don’t have to be a vegetarian, vegan or health food purist to enjoy vegan or simply healthy dishes when eating out! To accompany friends who have a different diet from ours, to get out of your comfort zone, to reduce our meat consumption, or simply to add a little balance to your diet, eating vegetarian, vegan or healthy is a great way to discover new foods. In Montreal, there is no shortage of great addresses where you can eat healthy plant-based cuisine! Most of our favourite restaurants also offer vegetarian and vegan options on their menu to satisfy their clientele.
Being mindful about what you eat doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy yourself: we’ve put together a short list of delicious veggie-forward and healthy restaurants in Montreal! Among them, you’ll find vegetarian restaurants, 100% vegan restaurants, and restaurants with vegetarian and/or vegan options.

Vegetarian Restaurant – We’d eat here every day if we could. The Green Panther offers a menu of pesticide-free and local foods; the soups, numerous salads and sandwiches (which are exceptional) never disappoint – and they have one of the best falafel sandwiches in Montreal! Their spaces are nice and inviting, which also adds to the customer experience.
