This was my first time at the Hello 123 on Monkland and it was a beautiful day so we got to sit outside on their terrace. Ordered the tofu “Benedict”, they were out of one ingredient so put the fakon (fake bacon) on it instead without asking, but it was delicious. The coconut was tasty and it was good overall. The almond butter French toast was definitely my preferred choice but it was very heavy and I’d recommend sharing with someone. Also could’ve used more bananas, in my opinion. The staff was very sweet and friendly. Good vibe!
We've been hitting a lot of local spots lately, and Hello 123 has always been one of our favourites! Also, I have been vegan for almost a decade, have travelled the world, and eaten a lot of good vegan good.We started with an app, the Brussel sprouts; WOW - talk about FLAVOUR. They were topped with a vegan mayo with a bean paste, and this was seriously incredible. It was fantastic warm up for the meal.I got the "classic" sandwich, which had tempeh bacon and a tofu omelet, a side salad and potato wedges. Again, WOW - the Tempeh was absolutely fantastic, tasted amazing, and the omelet was excellent - I'm not usually a fan of salads, but this one was simple and good.Ambience of the resto is chill, and we loved the vibe. They don't rush, and let you actually eat your food while enjoying the experience.Love it!
I will write this post from the perspective of someone with food sensitivities and who is very conscious about nutrition, well-being and the greenwashing industry. This business should be the standard that other vegan/health-conscious restaurants adhere too, in Montreal at least, from my experiences here.When you are in Vancouver, you can easily find a place that knows what they are doing, talking about and has involved and knowledgeable staff. I finally found this place in Montreal! And it's LOVELY! I have been coming back and back!This is my new favourite spot in Montreal! Located in the charming Monkland village, the place is aesthetically pleasing and clean. The music playlists vary and create a light and lively ambiance. There is a full bar, and a lot of moss! Yeay! More live plant walls please, less plastic-collecting dust (seriously, can we stop selling plastic plants?)If you have food sensitivities, this is the place you can be confident will meet your needs and also accommodate gluten sensitivities (and taste great and has the perfect texture, yes, yes!).It's quite hard to find a place in Montreal that is conscious and aware enough (possibly the only I've encountered). The staff is knowledgeable and fun! Alessandra - with whom I interacted the most and truly goes above and beyond and has the best suggestions and accommodates naturally, Cassandra (managers) and the rest of the staff will keep you coming back (absolutely!) I met one of the owners, Eric and he was delightful, invested and caring and had great advice to give me.Charming vegan brasserie, delicious brunch is available all day long, the drinks are wonderful, there is a nice selection, alcoholic and non. I have tried a Brazilian coffee, lattes (coconut and almond), the tea tonic (immunity boost) and teas (ginger). They have mimosas and smoothies and a good diversity of drinks and freshly-pressed juices. Today, I had the Mac and Cheese cauliflower (modified for gluten-free) and it was perfect! Great comfort food! Very cheesy :) I had the brownie and ice cream for dessert.I tried the Hello pancakes, the berry crumble, and the Benny Benny as well. I come here and stay and do some work after. They have a nice terrace giving on Monkland street and outdoor heaters. Getting ready to open :) You use a flight of stairs that leads to the terrace and then inside. Washrooms are downstairs and along a beautiful brick wall.I highly recommend Hello123! Bon appetit!
I had the sourdough french toast. It was good but i hate it when the restaurant provides only a small amount of syrup. The service was great and the decor was very soft and cozy.
Excellent food, innovative menu, great wait staff! Fun and delicious experience!
My new favourite vegan restaurant. I highly recommend the lasagna & the brownie. Our waitress was really friendly & she let my friend & I sit & chat for hours even after we had finished eating. If you’re looking for a casual but cute & cozy vegan restaurant, I 100% recommend checking this place out.
Great place for vegan food. I got a burrito bowl, very delicious. That cashew cream is everything
If you're looking for tasty vegan meals, this is the place! Will definitely come back. Bonus points for the shiitake tao, delicious!
We didn't get the name of our waitress, but she was absolutely AMAZING (we went on a Monday afternoon if you want to try to catch her and leave with a smile.on your face).The lasagna I had was dellicious, and my friend's 'Chickenless' salad sandwich was better than the real thing and in her words 'the best she ever had'.BUT the Avocado Chocolate mouse was all the right kinds of decadent, and had us practically licking the plate.We spent a good portion of our meal discussing which of our friends we'd be bringing on our (many) return visits - so suffice it to say, it's a very strong recommend for me.
mac & shiitake tao is amazing , my tonic tea was soo good, can't wait to go back
