Testimonials

I love coming here; it allows me to practice my French by meeting people. There are individuals who come here to break their isolation, and it always brings me joy to talk to them. My goal is to make them smile.

Gilma

I discovered Resto Plateau by seeking to get involved in my community. As a significant social actor in Montreal, I had a great admiration for its team as well as the organization’s mission, and I wanted to support them! So, it’s an honor for me to use my expertise in communication to help Resto Plateau become known to the public and shine.

I greatly appreciate my volunteering experience at the restaurant; it’s human, friendly, and enriching. The staff and volunteers establish a close connection with the clients, always in good spirits and with diligence. There’s always great energy and warmth. Thank you!

Vincent

My experience with Resto Plateau was rich and stimulating. I felt useful and was there to listen to people who needed help. I’ve rarely seen such a well-run organization where volunteers are supported from A to Z without being talked down to!

Thierry

I was thrilled to meet with the Resto Plateau team, both on the kitchen and courtyard side of things. After getting first-hand experience in portioning and chopping, I now see prepared meals in a totally new light.
