Veg*nism is growing in Montreal

Numbers show that vegetarian and vegan cuisine is on the rise in Montreal, with more places serving veg food only, as well as omnivore establishments branching out into more options for the non-meat-eaters.

In the early days of the local internet there was a circulating samizdat list of sushi restaurants. It was not a long list in those forgotten days of the early 1990s when sushi was still obscure here. That list outlived its usefulness. Almost that long ago I started a list of veg*n establishments on montreal.com – its descendant is still here today on the blog, but I’m beginning to wonder if it too may soon be made obsolete by changes in the gastrozeitgeist.

(Not a vegetarian myself. I tried it on for a short while in the 1990s but it wasn’t for me.)
