La Panthère verte est un projet dynamique tout frais ayant comme objectif principal de développer une manière de vivre plus soutenable dans la réalité urbaine d’aujourd’hui. Elle supporte et crée des alternatives locales à travers l’utilisation de produits biologiques (locaux si possible), de matériaux recyclés et par la conscientisation.

//The Green Panther is a fresh, dynamic project whose main goal is to develop a more sustainable way of living in today’s urban reality by supporting and creating local alternatives, through the use of organic produce (local when available), recycled materials and by raising awareness.

History

Established in 2008.

Sitting on a beach in India Chaim Shoham had a vision, to create a sustainable business that could be a success in today’s society, breaking through boundaries and showing the rest of the restaurant world how it could and should be done.

That dream began to become a reality back in 2008 when he set up shop in the kitchen of the commune where he lived in Montréal, waking at 4am every morning he would begin baking his own home made organic pita breads which he would later fill with his 100% vegan products and deliver to offices throughout the city, all from the saddle on his bicycle.

Now running 3 restaurants in Montréal year round and a food truck during the summer months and still a bicycle delivery service The Green Panther is achieving its original aims but is always looking to do more, don’t be surprised to see more urban jungles popping up across Montréal and further out in the world over the next couple of years.

TEMPEHTATION:
Full pita sandwich is $ 8.45CAD
VEGEPANTHERE:
Full pita sandwich is $ 8.45CAD
Neither of these really blew my mind to be honest, BUT I really liked them if that makes any sense. I don’t think this is a MUST for tourists but if I lived here, I’d for sure eat here often. It’s light and it tastes good.
THE PLACE: I really liked this place actually! Lots of windows! I saw some people with laptops, I definitely would come here to work.

I have eaten here on several occasions, in and also for take out and delivery. Each time I regret it. The food seems to all have the same taste which leaves a garlic aftertaste that repeats on you for days. The falafel pita (falafusion) is 60% sprouts. The tempeh pita (temptation or something) is 60% sauerkraut. The salads are 70% wilted mesclun greens and then a sprinkling of some good stuff. So overpriced for what you get, it’s offensive. As they fill up the sandwiches/salads with the filler stuff and not the goodness. Smoothies are inconsistent — sometimes delicious I liked the choco macca until they became different every time I ordered; and sometimes bad that I stopped getting them. What is consistent, is the rude staff (last time I ate in was at their St Viateur location, so possibly new) who are grumpy and inattentive. They were just hanging out and chatting with each other despite a line up of people. They are slow to serve — there seems to be so many staff with very little actually getting done. The pita is soft and fluffy and delicious and their falafel (on the side, not the pita) is pretty tasty. Everything else, is a big thumbs down. Sorry.

My thoughts about this place usually start with «hmmm… I am going to get some good healthy food!» and end with «Note to self: don’t go here again.»
Most recently, I paid almost $ 11 for a plate of «Mac n’ Cheese» that I am pretty sure was made from wallpaper paste and food colouring. I have eaten a lot of macaroni and cheese in my lifetime, and this verison of it was truly disgusting. It takes a real effort to make any kind of Mac n’ Cheese taste this bland. On the upside, they gave me a refund. Downside: I was still hungry.

I have been here a few times, I ranked it relatively high since its 5 min away from my house. If the Falafel is fresh you will feel like you are tasting heaven if not. you are on your way to hell since dry/old Falafel is the last thing you want to eat. You need to make sure the Falafel is fresh (and it is usually is during busy hours) and then just sit back and enjoy.

Location: Tucked away REAL good in the Mile End. I think Laurier might be the closest subway stop then you’d have to walk from there. Street parking is available. I think that unless you work in the area, you may not even know these guys exist. We were visiting ateliers in the area and found these guys by accident.
The place: The space is nice and still feels new. The lighting’s a little too dim for me but if you’re going for romance then you’re all set. The décor offers up a lot of wood, which I like, and one wall is basically a huge window, which I also like. You order at the cash, then make your way to the end and wait for your order where they’ll call you by name.
The food: I only ordered a veggie burger. I can tell you that it was delicious and full of flavor (note that this is served cold), and it was super fresh. Personally, I found it to be very filling so if you’re starved, I’d start with the burger then work your way up to something else if you’ve still got room.
Service: Good.
Price point: The veggie burger was something like $ 8.50.

Veggies to me are like hot girls in high school. I hate them but wish I was their friend. Anyway, lame analogies aside, one day I was hungry, didn’t want to walk far from home, so decided to give this place a try. I ordered a half pita of Tempehtation and a serving of falafel balls. The balls blew every vegetarian ball I have ever come across in my life out of the water. They were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. If anybody ever remembers from the early 2000’s, KFC once made these mash potato balls coated in their famous fried chicken batter. Panthère’s falafel balls aren’t quite that decadent, but the fact that they remind me of these ingenious little KFC potato creations say a lot about their tastiness. Tip: the staff recommended the (delicately sweet) hippie sauce for them and she was bang on. As for the pita… yawn. I chose Tempehtation because I love tempeh. I grew up in Indonesia eating tempeh and am always excited whenever I find it here. Unfortunately, it didn’t taste quite like how I imagined it. It tasted bland and the too-soft texture didn’t add any value to the pita. Also, I thought there was way too much sprouts (alfalfa?) in the pita and that sproutiness ended up masking the taste of the other ingredients. One other feedback I have is that the beer is very expensive. Granted it’s Beau’s, which is organic and all that, but at $ 9 a pop, it practically doubles my food bill. Overall I would definitely go back for just the falafel balls. For $ 2.50 a portion, they make a great afternoon snack.

I am a flexitarian. A semi-vegetarian. When given the chance, I tend to opt for the vegetarian dishes. Sometimes when I am feeling cheap, I will go to Green Panther. After my last experience at the St. Viateur location, it will be my last resort for vegan food in the Mile End.
Good: I only get the half pita Chic Kebab with no carrots and extra sauce. I usually get the half pita because it’s $ 3 less than the full pita… the difference is 1 inch more of bread, but no extra filling. Get the sweet potatos if you get a chance, it’s very flavorful!
Bad: I’ve tried the Tempehtation (eh) and VégéBurger (meh) on separate occasions, which neither are outstanding, and yet I still go back because it’s cheap food on the go. I usually order a side of sweet potatoes for an extra $ 3 when you order a pita and it’s a pretty generous portion. However, at the St. Viateur location, they gave me 6 pieces of potatoes for a side. I can’t even exaggerate this…$ 0.50 per potato cube. When I complained that this isn’t the right size because I’ve been to the Mackay and Mont Royal location and ordered the size salad, which was huge. The counter person rudely replied ‘no this is the right size… well this is the size we serve here.’ I asked for more potatoes, not your left kidney. I should’ve told him to shove it but I was hungry. I was really annoyed with this particular incident.
Bottom Line: To be fair, I don’t mind the food, it’s just this particular location that had a really rude staff member. I will still be eating at the Mackay and Mont Royal location though.

Not a breakfast place. Not many options except for cookies and smoothies. Coffee machine was not warmed up, so we could not have coffee with the cookies. We were recommended to get «really good coffee» next door at café neve. Well, the coffee was disgusting, and cost CAD3. So very bad experience. Avoid for breakfast

We tried a couple of smoothies and I hated them both
St-Basilic and Vert éclectique felt like a weird mix thrown together.
I could not take more than a sip in and the second drink still had bits of date pits in it.
Good thing my family liked them, it would have been a waste for such a high price ($ 8 each)
I did like the couple of bites I had of the chic burger, despite the overpowering sauce.
The deserts are all over the price map, both about $ 3 – 4, but the date «energy ball» is just a bite, while the pecan pie was a respectable size.
The service was very lackadaisical, I Left a $ 5 tip on a $ 35 bill when ordering, the guy at the cash could not even muster a smile and I still had to cleanup after myself.
The décor is very industrial hipster with lots of space both inside and out and neatly varnished tables. The door in the men’s bathroom used to be a bank safe.

Perhaps my rating is a bit harsh– if I had never eaten at the original location i would give it 4 stars easily, but as it happens with most expansions, the Panthere Verte has lost a bit of love and care in the food it serves now, at least at this new location on the corner of St. Viateur and Casgrain. But it is across the street from the best yoga studio in Montréal, So I just keep going back! Oh yeah– they serve beer now too– added bonus for those of us who still allow ourselves to indulge outside of this healthy food movement.

Fraicheur, saveur, bon prix. Si vous souhaitez essayer la cuisine végétarienne, vous devez absolument aller à la Panthère Verte. Le meilleur deal sont les repas de type ragoût dans les pots mason servi sur riz: ragoût brésilien, ragoût de tempeh, ragoût marocain, le ragoût des 3 soeurs. Vous serez satisfait et rassasié. Leurs smooties sont aussi délicieux.

They have the slowest service I’ve ever seen in my life. I bet they lose thousands of dollars a year bc of this inefficiency. I could have picked the mangoes off the tree, peeled them and made 5 smoothies in the time it took their employee to make one (not for me, I walked out– and it’s not the first time I’ve walked out).
Go somewhere else.

So enjoyed the falafel pita, that falafel may be the best I have had. Tahini sauce was perfect. Live the décor. Went here on a food tour so I cant comment in the service.

Organic, healthy, vegan and a chain restaurant?! All words that do not associate with my types of food, but when you’re a part of a food tour that knows its stuff, you give it a fair shot, try two bites and write a review. As you can tell, I had a good time eating at this place.
Please note: for those of you trying to find this place from the food tour, you need to keep on walking down Rue Saint Viateur O until you hit the East side. You’ll see the Ubisoft building!
This was the first stop (and new location) for our Mile End Food Tour. This restaurant prizes itself in organic, farm to table, wholesome goodness, and I have to admit, their food was decent. We tried the traditional falafel wrap with cabbage, carrots, pickles, sauerkraut, shoots, tahini and I devoured this wrap before people even started unwrapping their meal. I can’t tell whether it’s because we walked for an hour, were hungry and was also late to this event, but I really liked the sandwich and the overall décor of the place. The ingredients of the wrap sang in harmony with each other, and the tahini sauce blended everything together without overwhelming your taste buds. Overall, I had a good time, but looking at the prices of the wraps, they could definitely use a price cut.
The ambiance was less hippy than I had imagined, almost had a futuristic vibe with nature imbued in the architecture. There’s even an old safe lock in front of the men’s room, neat.
Food: 4 stars
Price: 3 stars
Ambiance: 3 stars

i was on my healthy mood all weekend and was searching for good places to eat. came across panthère verte at their new location (frank & oak building) and remembered reading about them and the dish that was recommended were their falafel sandwich. if people are praising deep fried chickpea balls, must be good right?
so that’s what i got and i must say, those balls are quite tasty. crispy on the outside, mushy on the inside and warm. those fuzzy balls of love! the carrot slaw was underwhelming though. brought freshness to it but you know, i grew up with pickled carrots so bland shredded carrots is too vanilla for my taste.
and that greenish cocaine taste like sauce that comes with the sandwich is way too addictive!
their new location is not as great since you’re out of the way in mile-end as that street corner is dead on weekends. place is spacious and there’s a terrace on the other hand so one can enjoy the sun while eating.
they do deliver but like always, not in my hood. anyway, i’ll be back when i’m not in the mood to walk all the way to aux vivres

So, I’ve always *hated* falafel until I had it here. That should give you some indication of how good the food is! You know, falafel is typically dry and hard to digest, right? Not this stuff — moist, flavorful and crispy, with a super yum dipping sauce that’s some kind of soy yogurt base. MMMMMMMMM.
This is a beautiful little spot to grab a snack and an espresso in the heart of the Mile End. I stopped in after shopping at Jeans Jeans Jeans, because I was feeling a bit peckish and wanted to try something new. Just so you’re clear: THEY HAVE DELICIOUS FOOD. All organic and vegan. The staff are super nice and the prices are right! You can eat in, gawk at all of the gorgeous décor, or choose something to go from their sweet selection of take-away foods, all cleverly packaged in reusable mason jars. It’s warm + cozy, relaxed and makes you feel like you’ve done your good deed for your body for the day.
