Wonderful and pay by the weight buffet - Edit
This place we stumbled across. There were plenty of options and items with gluten marked with red handled spoons. Food was tasty. Lots of seating. Love that you pay by the weight and can pick from so many things.

Petit Végo: good. Buffet not so much - Edit
I really like the counter on the main floor, the sandwiches are so good but the buffet does not hold up. It's quite expensive, the seitan texture is like mush, and the flavours are just meh
Read morePros: Many vegan options, Grab and go counter has good stuff
Cons: Expensive

Solid buffet option - Edit
Everything was clearly labeled in terms of whether it was vegan or contained dairy. They also noted gluten and soy. There was also a good range of dishes.

Superbe buffet, ambiance chaleureuse! - Edit
Vraiment parfait pour les enfants, j’y vais depuis que je suis moi-même toute petite (contrairement à ce que Happy Cow indique, c’est ouvert depuis plus de 40 ans, mais sous le nom de Commensal).
Read moreJe trouve les prix plutôt avantageux compte tenu des augmentations partout ailleurs! Et la formule buffet n’encourage pas à manger comme des cochons, on remplit son assiette selon son appétit et ça me revient habituellement à environ 17$ taxes incluses. Moins cher que beaucoup de chaînes de restauration rapide dans des foires alimentaires (Copper Branch, Thaï Express…) pour une qualité incomparable.
C’est pour moi un endroit très spécial en famille, mais j’y vais souvent seule pendant mon heure de midi (je prends mon vélo pour m’y rendre tellement j’y tiens!); je me sens comme chez moi!

Le prix a doublé en une année - Edit
En mars 2022 j'avais payé 35$ pour deux assiettes pleines et aujourd'hui c'est 75$ pour la même quantité de nourriture.. je veux bien que les loyers et les prix de la nourriture augmentent mais là c'est trop. 8 ans que j'y allais occasionnellement, c'était la dernière.
Read morePros: On y mange bien , Varié , Et bien assis, en dehors ou dedans
Cons: Les prix ont littéralement doublé en 1 an, Impossible pour moi d'y retourner , 75$ pour deux sans boisson ou dessert

C’est certain que si vous vous gavez à prendre 1 kilo de nourriture par personne (peut-être autour de 23-27$ en 2022 et maintenant 35$) parce qu’il y avait une promo à l’époque pour l’assiette à 1 kilo et qu’il n’y en a plus depuis la pandémie à cause de l’augmentation du coût de la vie, vous aller rester surpris en effet si vous n’y êtes pas retourné depuis longtemps. C’est cher mais le prix n’a pas doublé en 1 an et la qualité n’a pas diminué.

Vous devez avoir tout un appétit! Ça me coûte moins de 20$ taxes incluses à chaque fois que j’y vais; c’est selon moi un des restos qui a le moins augmenté ses prix!

love the concept, not as much the food - Edit
the idea of a vegan buffet is genius and resto vego does an amazing job with the setup! lots of different options and desserts and areas to sit. unfortunately i didn’t love the taste of the food too much, which is wasn’t expecting. the smoothie tasted a bit off to me and everything else was kinda meh. also expensive:(

Convenient for to-go food - Edit
Great place if you need vegan food fast and to-go. Labels clearly state if it contains milk or eggs. A life saver for my husband and I when we really needed a quick late night meal!

iL Y A une plaec - Edit
Il y a une place pour pizza, mais pour emporter a ce que j'ai compris. Des patisseries au red-de-chaussée. Un buffet au 2eme. La nourriture est juste correct, comme dans une cantine. Ce serait bien si c'etait moitié le prix. Dans ce cas, ca vaudrait le coup
Read morePros: Les patisseries
Cons: Prix, Qualité du buffet

Such a cute place to have a buffet style lunch or supper. Perfect place to do homework and chill. The takeout counter is perfect for a quick meal. The desserts are pretty good and they have sorbet 🥰

Parfait pour la decouverte - Edit
Que ce soit en famille avec des enfants ou entre amis, vege, vegan ou non c'est une super place pour découvrir de nouvelles saveurs sans être obligé de prendre un plat complet ou de prendre le risque de cuisiner une nouveauté.
Read moreAvec le service de buffet, il est possible de prendre pleins de petites portions. Chaque plat est estampillé vege ou vegan.
Je n'aurai jamais fait l'expérience du tofu ou du tempeh dans d´autres circonstances.
Pros: Tout est vege ou vegane, Limite le gaspillage, S´adapte au budget et au niveau de faim
Cons: Difficile de choisir et de résister (gourmandise)

Veg buffet and much more - Edit
There's a buffet upstairs, a deli and takeaway ready-meals, ice cream and several seating areas, including rear and street-side patios (seasonal).
Read moreThe deli has vegan wraps (I had the quinoa burrito, accompanied by a tasty salsa). Chillers are filled with vacuum-sealed packets and trays containing ready-meals and desserts. The vegan paella is really good, with lots of vegetables, rice and sausage pieces. The iced carrot cake is very good. Several vegan ice cream flavours (plus non-vegan ones), including a fruity mango.
At the buffet, the majority of cold and hot items are vegan, the daily soup is vegan, and some of the desserts are vegan, including a chocolate mousse cake and a scrumptious maple pie. I tried many of the salads and many of the hot dishes - all good. There are even vegan tourtière, quiche and vegetable pot pie. Good vegan puff-pastry items. Plates are weighed - and it’s a bit more expensive for dessert plates. Takeaway containers available. Wine, beer, cold drinks available. Some of the hot items were only lukewarm, but I enjoyed the flavours of everything.

Overpriced and sub-par - Edit
Went with my partner and got 2 plates and a small plate with small slice of carrot and brownie and was $65 — way too much for the quality of the food and selection. The carrot cake and brownie were inedible - both too sweet and dry. overall the food is OK and is an option if you’re looking to grab a plate of a variety of food (i.e, potato salad and a tempeh bbq) but quality is not great for the price and there are simply much better options in Montreal.
Read morePros: Lots of options , Easy to grab and go
Cons: Very expensive , Non tasty desserts

Awesome vegan buffet - Edit
I can't believe I never left a review, this is my favorite spot in town when I feel like having healthier restaurant food! Their potato salad is sooooo good. Carrot cake is 10/10, although sometimes I wish they had more vegan cakes. If you stop at petit vego downstairs, definitely try the tandoori sandwich!

Great variety - Edit
Vego has a food counter with fresh food, fridges and freezers with prep-meals. They have some nice sandwiches, hot beverages and smoothies. I like the prep-meals that can be taken at home. I especially like the vego-pâté with which you can make great sandwiches or toasts. Note, that they also have a buffet (price is by weight), but the buffets is temporarily closed because of COVID-19.

What a great safe choice of restaurant! - Edit
Delicious food, welcoming, very Covid conscious. Major changes made to ensure food and staff are shielded behind plexiglass and there are no ladles or handles in sight. Changes explained as you enter. Food choices are dished out for you by a staff member. Same great choices though there are slightly fewer now. Hand sanitizer readily available and tables and chairs are disinfected after clients leave. Only negative point: I would prefer to see staff wear masks rather than visors as the former are a safer option.
Read morePros: Excellent food, Friendly, spotless restaurant
Cons: Slightly fewer options , Food could be warmer, Staff wear face coverings rather than visors

Rien d’exceptionnel - Edit
La nourriture du buffet est correcte mais il n’y a rien d’exceptionnel. Les plats sont plutôt simples et pour la plupart, ce que je cuisine à la maison est meilleur.
Read moreÇa peut être un endroit à aller voir pour de donner des idées de toute la variété possible quand on mange végé (briser le mythe que végé = mangeur de salade), mais sinon, allez ailleurs où la bouffe sera vraiment savoureuse. De plus, la section buffet est drôlement placée et ça devient vite chaotique quand il y a beaucoup de monde. Enfin, ça finit par être assez cher du repas. J’y suis allée et j’ai vu ce que c’était, mais je n’y retournerais pas.
Pros: Énormément de choix
