Just got my first taste of Juicy Lotus' fare tonight. We took out for dinner, since we were both busy with school and work.
We got a pad thai with tofu shrimp and green vegetable stir-fry and it was delicious! yum!
I can't wait to try more of their foods!
this is a great and healthier alternative on a night that you are too busy to cook, but don't want to order something greasy. -

The phone number is now (514) 507-6268 and website link is actually http://www.cafejuicylo... . I just called them and told them to put their darn cafe hours on the main page of their site, as they modified them (you need to read the "about us") and left the normal hours on the main page!!
I give them 3 stars as their food looks tasty despite this. -

Smack in the heart of Monkland Village, Juicy Lotus is a small café that offers wonderful vegetarian and vegan dishes that taste like they are truly homemade. We'd accidentally stumbled on it when we found out Cafe Harvard, down the street, was closed for a photo shoot.
The menu here, the waitress warns, changes frequently, so don't expect the same thing to be here the next week! The open fridge on the side offers a variety of drinks, soups and cold dishes which are premade. As well, there are approximately half a dozen different cold salads, including one with button mushrooms and another with red quinoa. You can purchased the salads according to how many ounces you want. Pizzas and sandwiches are available as well and can be heated up in an oven.
For a lunch entree, I bought a box of poivrons farcis ($6.99) - two ginormous red peppers stuffed with mock chicken, zucchini, quinoa and herbs, dressed in a tangy tomato sauce. Even though it was cold, the peppers were delicious and hearty. I had a difficult time trying to finish them! My boyfriend had a bean and rice burrito, a dash of red hummus and a cauliflower and celery soup. Everything, including a hot tea, came out to $22 including tax.
There's not much room here; seating is limited to a handful of small tables, but the option for take-out is available too. The waitress that we met here was extremely friendly; she brought the food out for us and took her time to make us feel welcome.
A place that proves that not all the good stuff is downtown!
NOTE: Want to bring the cooking home? Take a class here - available Tuesday and Thursday nights. $50 per class or $300 for 10 classes. Variety of topics including macrobiotic, raw and ethnic cuisines. -

I appreciate the effort, the fact that there is a vegetarian spot on an otherwise not so very progressive street. However, the usual overdone vegetarian fair is exactly that: done to death. Quinoa salads, veggie burgers, soups, burritos, cold salads, etc. Prices are, as expected, very high for this sort of thing. There's not much room to dine-in, probably only one or two tables, most people opt for take-out, and so did I. I want to be able to say I'd be back, but my not-so fond memories of a vegan cake when I was craving just that keep me at bay from this, at least for now.
Go if: you're in a rush, you're not a vegan or a vegetarian but instead a curious by stander who thinks eating vegetarian for a day makes you feel "so much better!". This place is for you.
