we had an overall pleasant experience at don vegan. the ambiance on the terrace is charming, with the patio heaters ensuring a comfortable experience when it’s chilly out. the service was generally great. we started with the panko cauliflower, which was just okay: the breading had an unusual flavour—slightly nutty and reminiscent of nutritional yeast, but it left an off aftertaste. the spicy mayo that accompanied it was just okay, but not flavourful enough to mask this unpleasant aftertaste. for our mains, we had the fettuccine with mushrooms which was delicious (beware, the large portion is truly hefty); the risotto della donna which was good but nothing to write home about, and lastly, the small portion of agnolottis, which were quite savoury. indeed, while the stuffed pasta lacked a bit of flavour, the sauce more than made up for it, in all of its cheesy glory. we were disappointed that the salad accompanying the panko cauliflower was the same as that in every pasta dish, down to the dressing. while the salad itself was tasty, it felt overdone and at this price point, we expected a variety of different flavours in each dish. for dessert, we had the chocolate cake and the pouding chômeur. the former tasted more like a muffin than a decadent dessert, with the chocolate sauce ever so slightly transforming it from a breakfast to a dessert option. the latter was definitely a more indulgent, classically québécois dessert, albeit a little too sweet. we found that the cake was not left to soak up the syrup for long enough prior to serving, which made this dessert feel a little less classic. all in all, we enjoyed our food and especially the outdoor atmosphere. we felt the prices were a bit high for the quality of the food, but we are always happy to encourage fully vegan restaurants. We weren't looking for vegan food but we saw the great ratings and decided to try it. The staff were very welcoming and answered all our questions when trying to decide on our picks for dinner. The presentation of the food was outstanding and the taste superb! What a great dinner place in Quebec city! Highly recommend it!! We had the Fettuccine with mushroom, the Impossible Burger with the Don cake for dessert. Absolutely a fantastic experience! Merci!! Don Vegan is an absolute gem! The food was absolutely delicious - creative, fresh, and full of flavor. Every dish felt thoughtful and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. And the atmosphere? Stunning! From the stylish interior to the vibrant outdoor patio, it's the kind of place you want to linger in. Easily one of the best vegan spots I've visited--highly recommend!

I left my group for the day and decided to do my own dine and drink for brunch. This place was not part of the plan but I was absolutely delighted that I found it and they had room for me. It’s also difficult to find places that are open between brunch/breakfast and dinner and this place was ready for us! The service was friendly and personable. The food was incredible. The cocktails were well balanced. Overall it had a fun vibe and I am thrilled to have had the experience!

We had an amazing vegan brunch! Tried the Donédictine and the Doné Anma — both were excellent. One of the best brunch spots in Quebec City! Great service too. Highly recommend.
