One of Montreal’s pioneering vegetarian and vegan restaurants, ChuChai has been delighting diners since 1997 with Chef Lily Sirikittikul’s elegant, plant-based Thai dishes. Inspired by family recipes and artisanal technique, the menu features inventive takes on classics with mock meats, fresh herbs, and bold spices. The bright, airy space and thoughtful plating make it feel like a special occasion, even on a weeknight. Come for the curries, stay for the atmosphere—both warm and unmistakably Thai.
