It felt crowded and noisy inside. I was looking for a calm dinner, but it just didn’t happen here.

Reviews / Ratings for Le Don
Great all-vegan place in Quebec City with a nice cocktail selection and a helpful staff. Eclectic decor that adds to the atmosphere.
Beet tartar is 10 out of 10.
Le Don is a serious vegan restaurant with a chill yet lively atmosphere. We visited on a Monday evening 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.
The food: the food was good, not great. It was priced pretty high but with the location I get it. The vodka sauce wasn’t really much of a vodka sauce but the gnocchi had a nice texture. The chocolate cake was insane we loved it. The cheese cake with chocolate sauce, just too much chocolate sauce took away from the cheese cake which actually tasted pretty good. The service: it takes a lot, and I mean a lot for me to rate service badly. I worked at burger king growing up so I have a ton of patience for the service industry. Our waitress basically ignored us. Walked around our table 4 times, never offered us water - forgot her water pitcher at our table (thank god she did lol) and I had to go up and ask the host for our pay check and boxes and even then that took forever. It took roughly 2 hours for service here from start to end and that’s just absolutely insane to me. She was also very rude about everything - everyone in the entire province of Quebec was so incredibly nice and it was one of our favorite aspects of our visit, this restaurant was the exception. I honestly hate giving negative reviews especially to vegan restaurants but I feel obligated to raise red flags for this service.

Very good all vegan food, very good cocktails, and nice extremely quick service. Maybe even too quick. Ambience is a bit here and there. Price is adjusted for the quality of the food. Anytime again.
Amazing! Tried the vegan tostadas and was blown away 💚💚
The food was below mid
Absolutely fantastic experience at Le Don! Everything was perfect from start to finish. The food was delicious, beautifully presented. The service was warm, attentive, and professional, and the atmosphere made the whole experience even more enjoyable. You can really tell that a lot of care and passion goes into everything they do. A truly memorable experience, and definitely a place I would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing meal. Can’t wait to come back!
Great food
The lunch menu was great value. I really enjoyed their food, vibe was amazing and service was good despite how busy they were. I recommend this restaurant for everyone
This place is amazing! We absolutely loved the food - apps, main course, dessert, drinks. The atmosphere was lovely, and the staff were friendly. My partner and I were so pleasantly surprised to find an all vegan restaurant for our honeymoon. We went twice!
Excellent restaurant. The bilingual staff were very attentive and helpful. We had the antipasto plate for two as an entrée (enough for two people) and the tostados. The beer and wine selections, though limited, were also good. Save room for dessert!
So good we went twice! Excellent food and atmosphere. The mushroom risotto is delicious!
Really good vegan food
Great to find an all vegan place just down the street from our hotel. Food was overall good but wasn’t the best meal we had.
Possibly the best food and service during our stay in Quebec City. Highly recommend.
I had ordered Cheeseburger for my children, Don sauce was a bit spicy for them. Ravioli was sold out at 7pm, so I ordered Pad Thai, it was salty & sour. Risotto & Fettuccine were good. Cheese cake tastes like Tofu cake. When we were still waiting for desserts, servant already put the bill & payment terminal on our table, pushing us to check and leave, as many customers were waiting outside the restaurant.
Food and experience was good. Very convenient for vegan people. Vegan good can be good too
This was a very popular and busy restaurant. There were always people ready to be seated. A full vegan menu meant easy choices. There were a range of options. Everyone enjoyed their meal. There was a nice vibe. When looking at what we spent please consider that we had 3 mains, 2 entrees, 2 wines, 2 beers, a soda water and 4 desserts
It’s a nice place, but the food is just okay. I ordered a Dahl as my main dish and was a bit disappointed by the size of the portion. Not enough rice to mix with my lentils, no yogurt and 3 small pieces of flatbread. I am not a fast eater, but it took me just a few minutes to eat my portion as there was not enough food on the plate. I left the place still hungry…
Super great to find a vegan restaurant, with innovative menu and some interesting choices 👌
Excellent service. Very tasty food, good portions at a reasonable price. Returned the next day.
Great pizza. Very busy. Reserve or expect a wait during busy hours.
