Gaïa Resto Végan

Eastern Townships


For vegans, Gaïa is easily the culinary drawcard for the Eastern Townships. Middle Eastern, South Asian and Québécois flavors go into knockout crepes, burgers, bowls and smoothies pretty enough to elicit oohs and ahs when served up. Details like cashew ricotta elevate fresh ingredients into gourmet dishes great enough to convince an omnivore; and staff have a local warmth. Reservations recommended.
