Natsu

Natsu shirks being just another vegan café for a full-blown immersion into Japanese-inspired, plant-based dining in Hochelaga. Since its soft opening in October, Natsu has quietly made its mark with a daytime menu that turns vegan clichés on their head: Picture vegan foie gras that somehow nails the rich, buttery texture or a Japanese “egg” sandwich so convincing you’ll question what you thought you knew about plant-based food.
What started as a sunrise-to-afternoon kind of place includes evening hours as well, with a lineup of wines and cocktails made to match. Natsu doesn’t try to be flashy; instead, it’s got that understated elegance—a calm place where every dish tells you how good a vegan dish can get.
