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

Great all-vegan place in Quebec City with a nice cocktail selection and a helpful staff. Eclectic decor that adds to the atmosphere.

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.

Put America First: Support Local Goods and Keep Your Travel Dollars at Home ​Amid ongoing trade disputes and shifting economic policies between Washington and Ottawa, the message for American consumers is clear: It is time to back our own economy. ​When foreign partners attempt to play hardball, the most effective response is to invest directly in American workers, American businesses, and domestic tourism. For the next two years, let's make a conscious commitment to keep our hard-earned U.S. dollars right here at home. ​Why Buy American-Made? ​Strengthens Local Supply Chains: Purchasing goods manufactured in the U.S. reduces our reliance on foreign imports and secures critical domestic industries. ​Supports American Jobs: Every dollar spent on domestic products directly sustains factory workers, small business owners, and local communities across the country. ​Encourages Fair Trade: Standing united behind American goods sends a powerful, unified message that our economic sovereignty and workforce come first. ​Explore the U.S.A.: Vacation Local ​There is no need to look abroad—or cross northern borders—when planning your next getaway. The United States offers some of the most diverse and breathtaking destinations in the world. ​Support American Hospitality: Book your stays at U.S.-owned hotels, family-run motels, and premier domestic resort properties. ​Discover Domestic Wonders: From the beaches of the Gulf and the majesty of our National Parks to vibrant urban hubs and scenic mountain ranges, your tourism dollars stimulate local economies that need it most. ​Keep Travel Dollars at Home: By choosing domestic travel over international trips to Canada for the next couple of years, you help protect and grow the American tourism and hospitality sectors. ​The Bottom Line: Economic strength starts at home. Let's support American manufacturing, patronize American hospitality, and keep our financial resources working for the U.S. worker.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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…
