Le Don stands out as a premier destination in Québec City, offering a diverse and flavor-forward vegan menu that consistently impresses both plant-based diners and omnivores alike. Guests frequently highlight the quality of dishes like the mushroom risotto, creamy gnocchi, and the popular lunch specials, all served within a vibrant and quirky atmosphere. While the popularity of this central location can sometimes result in a bustling environment or wait times, the staff is widely praised for being attentive, friendly, and accommodating. Whether visiting for brunch, a special dinner, or a quick midday meal, visitors find the experience memorable, creative, and well worth repeating.
I'm giving the restaurant 3 stars because of their food, presentation, & service. However, the overall experience wasn't great. I made a reservation for Christmas night in advance, as I knew they would be busy. The person who confirmed the reservation told me they would have a happy hour after 8 p.m., so we booked around that time. When we arrived, we were told it was misinformation on their end. There was no apology from the server. Here's the worst part: While waiting for our table, they made us stand near the entrance. Considering the restaurant is small & it was a busy Christmas night, the lady at the front didn't offer us a seat at the bar, even though there were vacant seats. The overcrowding also led to an accident: a dasher accidentally spilled hot soup when the bag tore at the bottom, & some of it even spilled on my clothes. The staff member who handed over the package didn't apologize at all. It seemed like they were too proud of how they were operating. Despite everything, I didn't want to ruin the Christmas night for myself & my partner, so we decided to stay & enjoy our meal. The service was good, & the food was good! But the overall experience, unfortunately, was not. Also I have tried better vegan restaurants & would say it was average.

Tried this all vegan restaurant that got written up in Condé Nast when highlighting different sites in Quebec City. I had seen this before reading the blog too when searching for vegetarian restaurants in Old Quebec City. Anyhow, great ambience with exposed brick walls, cozy with mood lighting. Drinks were very weak. Had meat substitutes with some of the dishes ordered - 2 squash risotto was excellent (had mock chicken in it) & spagetti bolognese which also had the mock meat. Food was tasty but super pricy.
We recently dined at this restaurant, & it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Service: Our server was incredibly friendly & attentive to every detail, ensuring that we had a great experience. From recommendations to making sure everything was perfect, the service was excellent. Food: The food was a highlight - everything is vegan & absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich, & each dish was well-prepared. Additionally, the portion sizes are generous, making it easy to share dishes with others. It's clear the restaurant takes great care in crafting its menu. Atmosphere: The restaurant offers both indoor & outdoor seating, providing flexibility depending on your preference or the weather. The ambiance was relaxed & enjoyable, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. Convenience: The one minor downside is that parking is on the street, which can be a bit inconvenient. However, this didn't detract from the overall experience too much. Overall Impression: This spot is an excellent choice for anyone looking for vegan food, whether you're vegan yourself or just enjoy high-quality meals. With quick service, delicious dishes, & sizeable portions, it's easy to recommend. There were no negatives - everything we ordered was truly outstanding. We'll definitely be returning soon!
The restaurant is right in the heart of Vieux-Québec. The donplings were delicious & so was the gnocchi. Pierre-Michel & the rest of the staff were very gracious & friendly. I will definitely make a trip back to the restaurant on my next visit to the wonderful city! Merci beaucoup!
Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone searching for dairy-free or vegan food. Fantastic service, great menu at reasonable prices & it offers smaller portions for those that can't eat a lot of would like to try multiple dishes.
On y est allés à 4 la veille de Noël & on a fait bonne chère ! Tout était exquis, on s'est pas aventurés sur les desserts car les entrées & plats étaient fort rassasiants. Les soupes thaï & autres risotto nous ont réchauffé le corps & l'esprit. En sus, les cocktails étaient fameux & le service était chaleureux.
