Crudessence, the newest vegan and raw food destination to hit Montreal opened May 4, 2008. The company which has been a vegan caterer has now opened a cafe on Rachel street, located close to the Sunday Tam Tam’s.

Lisa Shalom, a friendly staffer, was nice enough to tell me about what goes on at Crudessence. She explained that the motivation behind opening the cafe is to promote healthy lifestyles while proving that eating fast does not have to mean eating badly. The snacks and drinks served at Crudessence look and taste hearty and healthy. Here’s to feeling good. Cheers.

Aux Vivres Restaurant Review

On Montreal Restaurant Aux Vivres Chef Deck Says:

To be a Vegan or not to be a Vegan? That is the question. Well though Aux Vivres is quite delicious, I’ll have to pass on the full time veganism (if that’s a word). Now that I’ve officially made my decision I must express my surprise and joy on how amazing this place was. We started with chipata bread and veggie butter accompanied by an olive tapanade which was great. Next was the Thai bowl with lots of veggies (lots of bok choi), grilled tofu, and a peanut sauce which was hippie-rific. The highlight though was the BLT wrap, packed to the brim with grilled tofu, coconut bacon chips, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Well Aux Vivres restaurant, you’ve given me a new found appreciation for rollin in the dirt and making out with trees.
