nattyMatty Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Ok Bouche If ya want Vegan then there is A place on st.laurnet Close to the show..It is called "aux Vive" Now this place has Kick ass vegan food.. Why because im not Vegan at all and i like this place.. its a little "Clickie" but thats ok.. The French fry place is really Good it is called.. Mondo Frite and it is Kick ass Poutine with No Meat in the Sauce. its kinda like a pepper corn sauce. If ya go to aux vive get the Club it has Smoked Coconut that is To Die For. The Show Is at the Other end of st. laurant VERY far From St Catherines. I know lots of these places cause i live in this Neigborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I found a listing for Aux Vivres, nattyMatty; is that what you meant? It's at 4631 St. Laurent (St. Laurent, about a block and a half South of St. Josephe), while the venue is at 5390 St. Laurent.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 thx very much for the info. Personally, I don't want to eat vegan. I'm going to likely need at the very least CHEESE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 all this talk of Main Hall being so far was freaking me out, but google set it straight. It's about 4.4 km from our hotel on Rene-Levesque and only about 1.5 km from that vegan place.does anyone know if the venue has a real coat check?

zero Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Make sure to pick up some bagels at St. Viateur and if you're at the right one you can see Leonard Cohen and Mordecai Richler's pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 if there's food on them bagels, I might go for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 (edited) Greetings from Geneva. wish I could be going with you guys tonight! Bouche, I hope you get this message. Aux Vivres is closed for renovations as far as I know. However, right on the corner of St. Viateur and St. Laurent about 1 min from the venue are 2 places that I think fit the bill (havta check on the vegan bit). - Le Jardin du Cari: on st. viateur about 5 doors in from St. Laurent, north side. Great Gyanan food (roti-curry). Get the chickpea and potato roti wit' de pumpkin' and a side of potato balls. Great dinner for well under 10 bux.- Cafe Esparanza: Right on the corner of St.V. and St. L. and 2 doors from the venue. Decent food and definately some vegan selections. Also St. Ambroise Oatmeal stout on tap. YUMHope that helps! Edited March 2, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blane Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 for AWESOME vegan food check out Chu Chai on St. Denis. It's a bit swanky but has killer gourmet vegan Thai food. Check out the fake glazed duck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YearsAlongTheSea Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 I feel like there's a lot of meat eaters that will be forcing down vegan dishes in Montreal this evening for some reason.Personally, I'm packin' beef, and if they won't cook it at any of these chi-chi, uber-heady, spiritually-organic, frenchy-vegan restauraunts, they better have a parking lot cause I'm setting up shop.Bringin' the cow baby.

bradm Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 If we have time, a stop at Schwartz's is in order. (It's about halfway down St. Laurent from where the venue is, though, which might make it tough to get to/from. ) Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 I am going to schwartz's...no doubt about it.......Is it open late? If so, It may be a post show treat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 According to http://www.schwartzsdeli.com/ they close at 12:30am on Thursday. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Years, if you want the meat, go to Janos on St. Laurent (near Duluth) and order the mixed platter. Chicken, beef, pork and rabbit all cooked on the grill, served with a side of fries. Cholesterol central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippyrastachild Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 there is also cafe santropol, at the corner of duluth and st. urbain...it has a pretty good atmosphere and good soups and monster funky sandwiches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 that's too bad...not sure if I'm gonna have time to hit it up before...If so, I'll try and track you down Brad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 We're rolling out of Ottawa about 5:00pm (he said, hopefully), so that may preclude our (or at least my) getting to Schwartz's, as the doors open at 8:30pm, and I need to get in early to get set up.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
