Robin des Bois

Montréal


Montréal’s own 'Robin Hood,' restaurateur Judy Servay donates all profits and tips from this reliable favorite to local charities. The relaxed, spacious diner vibe and varied menu are inviting to all, solo or in groups. Customizable dishes include brown rice, mashed potato, noodles or soup topped with grilled salmon or vegan tempeh. Sandwiches and salads keep everybody happy.

Sharing and kids' menus draw families. Cut the servers some slack – most are young volunteers.
