Vegan baklava! And some tips to find Falafel Ave

Really good falafel on lavish bread with pickled vegetables. Had vegan baklava and a pistachio maamoul (cookie)

I had trouble finding the place, it’s at the corner of President Kennedy and Robert Bourassa. Picture from the window for reference!

Pros: Good falafel, vegan baklava, Good value, quick and convenient to downtown

Cons: Limited menu, Difficult to find

Oookay...

I had the pita & fries. It was okay but I'm really not amazed. But the guy serving me was very friendly. I won't go back as Montreal has other vegan spots... #Veganuary

Rapide, pas cher et santé

Falafels, sandwich aux falafels ou salade aux falafels avec les garnitures de votre choix. Un peu comme un Subway mais en 1000x mieux. Menu très simple, mais oh combien efficace. Cool endroit pour dépanner quand j'oublie de m'apporter un lunch au travail.

Pros: Menu short and sweet, Falafels!!!!!

Fast and cheap

There is not a lot of choices. You either choose between a falafel sandwich or a falafel salad. You can choose between different types of falafels (spicy, classic or herbs) and different kind of sauces though. I had the falafel sandwich for only 6$, it was alright, but nothing fantastic compared to much better falafel sandwiches, for example the ones from the Green Panther (La panthère verte).

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Some of the staff doesn’t speak french, Menu is really small

Entièrement vegan

J’avais très faim ce jour-là et voulais manger beaucoup pour pas cher.
En prenant le pita aux falafels et la frite, je sentais que j’avais mangé plus qu’à ma faim pour pas cher (autour de 10$).

Pros: Rabais étudiant!, Employé-e-s sympathiques

Délicieux

Délicieux et très frais. Suffisamment d’options intéressantes mais pas trop pour ne pas s’y perdre. Le restaurant est super propre. Les falafels sont délicieux et les sauces succulentes. Agréablement surpris.

Amazing place

They removed all the non vegan options and became a 100% vegan place. The food is amazing and there are so many options as well. People are really friendly and welcoming, the place is nice and clean, definitely highly recommending this place.

tasty, not too oily

Falafel avenue does what it says on the tin. Tasty falafels, not too oily. Vegans note: there are three types of falafel on offer here and only two of them are vegan (one has cheese). I liked the "green," which contains herbs. Very friendly service.

Good inexpensive food

First of all: the only non-vegan ingredient is the cheese that is proposed separately, so if you're a vegan you can eat anything you want (sauces, falafels, etc).

The food was tasty and nutritous.

The only con I could say is the menu I found a bit confusing since you need to choose separately the bread, the falafels and the sauce. But I guess this allows some creativity!

Pros: Inexpensive, Good food, Almost everything is vegan

Cons: Menu a bit confusing
