LA PRAIRIE, Que. — Commensal Vegetarian Restaurants — a chain located in Quebec and Ontario, which originally specialized in healthy vegetarian fare — is now equipped to appeal to a growing group of flexitarian eaters, with the introduction of new meat offerings in a separate section of its restaurant called Commensal & Cie.

“The decision to become flexitarian was not taken lightly,” says Pierre Marc Tremblay, president and CEO, Commensal and Commensal & Cie. “We are aware that introducing poultry and seafood in Commensal restaurants may shock some people, especially those who are vegetarian for animal ethics reasons. But I am deeply convinced this proposed new direction is good news, because it is based on openness and tolerance — two values that are very important to us.”

New dishes include chicken pesto penne with cherry tomatoes, goat cheese and almonds as well as squash and ricotta lasagna with three-cheese gratin, topped with Nordic shrimp.

Commensal S.E.C. has eight restaurants (one in Ontario and seven in Quebec) and offers 47 fresh and frozen vegetarian meals in retail outlets.
