The city of Montreal is unique in many ways. Montreal’s multicultural society brings in an entirely different element of food from around the world that gives all of us the opportunity to try different flavours. If you are here on vacation or are a permanent resident, we can assure you that you will never be bored of eating the same thing. As the food industry is going through an online revolution, chefs are coming up with new and inspiring recipes that are attracting all kinds of people and we have you covered.
Falafel Avenue is one of these restaurants that will inspire you to try vegetarian and vegan options that are unique for everyone. They are serving over 100 possibilities of falafel on their menu (that’s right – 100). Traditionally, the falafel is a Middle Eastern street food dish. It is composed of either spiced mashed chickpeas or fava beans (sometimes both) shaped into balls and deep-fried, eaten with or inside a fresh pita. It is topped with either pickled vegetables, hot sauce, or better yet, traditionally made tahini sauce that really brings out the flavors.
Falafel Avenue has taken the falafel to a whole other level by creating different flavour falafels! They have the classic falafel, the sunny falafel with roasted red and yellow peppers and red onions, the green falafel with parsley, dill, and mint, and our favourite, the melty falafel stuffed with mozzarella.
Of course, if you do not want your falafel fried, Falafel Avenue has come up with the BIG FA that is completely baked, bringing another element of healthy eating to you. You may also be interested in their FA Pizza! This 9-inch pizza is baked and has a thin crispy crust that you can customize to your liking. Of course, you may also side step the bread entirely by making your own Falafel salad.
We all know that in any good dish it is the sauce that can make it or break it. In our opinion (and we’re sure many falafel lovers will agree), Falafel Avenue covers this element as they have created 5 different sauces that deliver maximum flavor, colour, texture, and freshness: traditional, spicy, veggie with celery, dill, and cucumber, fruity red with pomegranate and cranberries, and olives and nuts with sundried tomatoes, olives, and nuts. They pride themselves on their fresh ingredients as much as they do on their unique sauces that will drag you back into their store for more!
As they have found success in the past on Robert-Bourassa Street, Falafel Avenue is opening their second location on Mount-Royal. Their grand opening is June 29th, so be sure to check it out!
