Le Don s'impose comme une adresse incontournable à Québec, proposant un menu végétalien varié et savoureux qui séduit autant les adeptes de cuisine végétale que les omnivores. Les clients soulignent régulièrement la qualité de plats comme le risotto aux champignons, les gnocchis crémeux et les menus midi accessibles, le tout dans une atmosphère vivante et originale. Bien que la popularité de cet emplacement central puisse parfois entraîner une ambiance animée ou quelques délais, le personnel est chaleureusement reconnu pour son attention, sa gentillesse et son professionnalisme. Que ce soit pour un brunch, un dîner spécial ou un repas sur le pouce, l'expérience demeure mémorable, créative et propice aux retours.
Let me start by saying I am not vegan. However the food, staff, & atmosphere was amazing! I had the risotto & loved it. Ann Marie (the chef) was the best & helping the staff. You could tell that she really loves her job & enjoys it! We will definitely come back the next time we are in town
Quelle belle découverte! Je voulais faire plaisir à ma blonde en allant manger santé, & c'est moi qui ait le plus apprécié! La nourriture est vraiment délicieuse, nous avons partage la trempette d'artichaut, un plat vraiment bien équilibré, qui n'a rien à voir avec les trempettes traditionnelles. Ensuite ce fut le tartare de betteraves & le risotto aux champignons. Des saveurs harmonieuses, une cuisine très bien pensée. Notre serveur était vraiment exceptionnel, passionné, d'une grande gentillesse & connaissant, ce sont d'ailleurs ses recommandations que nous avons commandé; merci Pierre-Michel! Ce ne sera pas notre dernière visite!!
This plant-based restaurant is fabulous, & even carnivores will love it. We found all of the items we ordered to be very nicely prepared, tasty, & healthful. We had gnocchi, two-squash risotto, dumplings, meatballs with sunflower paste. Service from Jade was exceptional, & she was very kind & helpful in answering all of our questions about Quebecois culture & language. We went back a couple of days later for their lunch special, where you get a choice of 1) soup or salad, 2) a burger/risotto/pasta/stir-fry, & 3) coffee. It was excellent. Another server we had (Clarisse, on the receipt) was super friendly & talked to us for a while. Several servers were covering all the tables as a team, & they were all great. We will probably go back a third time for their brunch the day we depart. Cannot wait to return!

We were looking for a vegetarian restaurant at Old Quebec & happened to find Le Don. Food is delicious & staff are friendly. Our group ordered the mushroom risotto, the fettuccine, creamy gnocchi & bibimbap. Highly recommend.
J'ai visité ce restaurant avec ma femme & notre petit bébé. Nous avons été accueilli par Lola sur la terrasse extérieure. Elle nous a donné une hyper bon service. De la chaise bébé à refaire mon drink qui était trop épicé, on a été tes satisfait à tous les niveau. Le repas était WoW. J'ai mangé le meilleur risotto vegan de ma vie!!!! Je recommande fortement ce restaurant vegan.
Oh myyyyy goodness, I've taken on the challenge of being a vegan for a time & was worried that old Quebec City would have limited options for me. But just a 9 minute walk from the fairmont I was impressed by the atmosphere & the FOOOD was amazing. The prices are reasonable & I felt clean & healthy leaving that place. I would book the hotel across the street next time & try more on their menu even when I'm off vegan. I only have videos of the food which was beautifully plated so I can't post them here but just go you won't regret it. I tried the bruschetta & Thai soup & the risotto. Brownie will be a delicacy for the next visit. Very excited to come back.
Every thing is excellent, but I wanted a chance to give some constructive criticism on the plates I tried. 1) First, the gnocchi was top notch; best thing I tried. My only suggestion would be to quickly sear the gnocchi to give them a touch of crisp & texture. Otherwise, a perfect dish. 2) Next the fettuccine was quite good. I'd suggest trying some thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes as a garnish, just to give it a touch of pop. That goes against tradition perhaps, but I feel your menu is going for that slight edge. 3) Next was the Pad Thai. The tofu was perfect, & I really liked your take on the sauce. However, it was a bit "cloying" perhaps after a few bites. My suggestion is to reduce the salt by about 10%, then balance the umami with Thai basil chiffonade & some lemongrass. Maybe steep the lemongrass in the sauce while it's being prepared & remove before serving? Some green onions & just a little pizazz from bird's eye peppers would be welcome. 4) Next the mushroom risotto. This was underwhelming compared to your other dishes. It was good, but completely outshone. I suggest adding those little "bacon" seitan bits you used with the gnocchi, but really it needs some sweetness or acid to uplift it. Again, not the most traditional, but unless you go nuts on the garlic or something (not the most appealing to a wide audience) it needs something to stand out. My thought is to try something like jewel rice. Add a small amount of golden raisins & barberries while it cooks (or maybe as a garnish, you'd have to experiment). It'd really elevate all that cream & umami. 5) Next the Donplings are perfect. No notes. Excellent plating & design. Ok, maybe a splash of soy sauce mixed with a very barbecue-y gochujang while they're pan searing. Just a thought. 6) Finally, the chocolate cake is a brilliant interpretation. The popover style so that every serving is fresh right out of the oven with no waste, is a stroke of genius. The fresh berries give a delightful balance. This just me, but what about sticking a little cylindrical raspberry jam plug right in the middle before it goes in the oven? Could mess with your bake, but the extra little berry would tie the fruit from the outside into it in a molten explosion of flavor. That & an extra drizzle of extra dark fudge chocolate for a touch of bitter. Maybe that's over-engineering something that's already great. & that's all I got a chance to try. Thanks for the wonderful meal! I love what you're doing & wish you all the best!
Food was overall quite good. However, I had had higher expectations given the price. For 2 starters, 2 mains, & 3 drinks, the cost was $150 before tips. In Ottawa or Montreal, you would be able to get better vegan food for this price. Another issue for me was the bathroom - it was disgusting with multiple flies in each stall (& it wasn't even a hot day at 15 degrees!) Here are detailed reviews for each dish: - DONplings: they were okay. I would've preferred them deep fried than pan-fried. - Thai soup: very good with the right flavours. However, it did not rival my favourite Thai soups in Ottawa that costed less. The tofu cubes in the soup were marinated but did not go well with the soup. - Mushrooms linguine: rich, creamy, & flavourful. It was my favourite dish of the meal. - Two squash risotto: delicious at first bite, but it got boring quickly after. It reminded me of a specific brand of veggie bouillon I would buy at grocery stores & make soups with. Not impressed. - drinks: I got a mocktail named La Pina. It tasted really good with pineapple flavours. But it was so sweet that I gave it up after slowly sipping on half the glass.
Un gros coup de coeur, les plats sont beaux & vraiment délicieux. Les meilleurs dumplings ever & le risotto aux champignons Oh My God, SAVOUREUX. Le service est excellent & l ambiance hyper agréable. Le menu est très diversifier, assurément plus d une visite s impose !!! Hhhaaaa & les Mocktails sont tellement beaux & rafraîchissants!!!
