The "nouvo St-Roch" in Quebec as mentioned in the advertisements, especially the St. Joseph Street continues to make room for new restaurants. A small last opened its doors next to the roastery St-Henri, Crudessence. Place the vegan!
Veganism automatically excludes animal products (meat, fish, crustaceans, molluscs), but also by-products of animal origin such as milk, butter or eggs. Smirk, some will surely ask what he should remain well to fill their plate.
Crudessence should meet the concerns of each other. Eighth of the same name in Quebec, Crudessence has already set up shop in Montreal, Granby, Magog and Brossard. In addition to some counters here and there. In the case of Quebec, it is a first duty as explained Leticia Amaral, one of three partners Crudessence Quebec. "We offer a live feed. We are anxious to know the source of the foods that we cook. "
Although it is a food guide to find challenging certain power settings, Leticia like to specify "we do not advocate for veganism. ". Apart from a few slogans on the back wall about a healthy diet, the place is not the den of a sect! On the contrary, places pastel colors are inviting. The counter where enthroned some takeaway as appetizing lime pie and advanced to the lawyer makes you want to learn more about the world of veganism. Vegetables, fruits, seeds, vegetable oils, nutritional yeast, tempeh or tofu will end up in vegan recipes. On site, we can also source some products for cooking at home.
On the menu

Ideas to make your first pats warned vegan? We begin with a dhal soup (lentil, turmeric and coconut milk) or miso soup revisited with algae and goji berries, so small slightly sweet red fruit. As a main course, you can go with wraps made from quinoa, salad, avocado and homemade dressing or wrap in California cashew cheese base.
And veganism is far from condemning the desserts! We end with brownies with cocoa and dates and the famous lawyer and lime pie, the crust is made from macadamia nuts.
house of smoothies complement the whole.
Alcohol side, Leticia Amaral says that the license application was made to the SAQ. However, she appeals to readers restoenligne.com: Crudessence is looking for local producers of wine and organic beer.
And as we want awareness of veganism, the site Crudessence full of different recipes. More than a dozen of them ranging from soups to desserts, via pies, sauces or crackers come tickle our curiosity. Videos about living food complete the package.
