Great place - Edit
I think this has been my favourite place in Montreal so far, I wish I hadn't been so full that desserts where out of the question!

fresh food in a nice environment - Edit
The food was fresh and flavourful. I ordered the dragon sandwich which is a wrap. It came with a house sauce rich in nutritional yeast. The service was good, atmosphere was pleasant and food was very nice. From what I understand this was Montreal’s first vegan restaurant.

Yum - Edit
A lot of delicious choices on the menu. Massive generous portions.
Read moreA couple of salads weren't available and the juice never came but this place still gets 5 stars. We shared the Deluxe Salad, the tempeh satay, the saurkraut, and a side of steamed vegetables (giant bowl of bok choi and broccoli with dill sauce).
The flavours were great - vegan lox, ginger dressing, saurkraut and guacamole were delicious.
We dipped our steamed veggies in the tempeh satay sauce to make Indonesian 'gado-gado'. Yum.
I'd love to see some raw desserts on the menu.

So far but so good.... - Edit
We live in Verdun, which is quick a ways from Aux Vivres in the plateau, but metro or even by car given the never ending construction and traffic. But we go the distance regularly, this is our favourite restaurant for Sunday brunch, colleague reunions, birthdays, etc. The atmosphere is hip, the food is delicious and filling, and the prices are appropriate for the excellent quality and freshness. I buy their sandwiches regularly at local stores for a quick supper or lunch!
Read morePros: delicious food, all-vegan menu, fresh atmosphere
Cons: at peak times there is often a wait for tables, can be loud when packed

Pretty cool - Edit
I tried 5 things, I was only not fully satisfied with the Dragon Bol. The sauce was amazing, probably one of the best I ever tried, but the bol itself was just raw vegetables. Maybe it was just that I wasn’t fully into it.

First time, not last. - Edit
Food and service is excellent. I like the low key dinner setting. You dont feel like youre paying for the overhead of trendy setting common to vegan restos. Dont hesitate if you're in the area.

Whether it's dining in or delivery, it's always good! I haven't had one thing that I didn't like from here. Large portions for a reasonable price. Their brunch on the weekends is highly recommended.

superb - Edit
Exceptionally good food and very pleasant professional service. Decor and cabin style seating a bit drab, but all is compensated by truly lovingly prepared dishes. Pate selection aux vivres mezze on a starter menu is a "must" (tofu pate especially), burgers were to die for and Mumbai tali plate was just excellent. exceeded expectations for sure!
Read morePros: food- top class, creative and delicious, great knowledgeable service
Cons: seating and decor-drab and manky

Rapport qualité prix/correct - Edit
Ce resto vegan présente un menu simple, correct avec un rapport qualité/prix satisfaisant. Disons que c'est un endroit de restauration rapide végétalienne. Un resto de tous les jours et non pour t souligner une occasion.
Read morePros: Brunch, Rapidité du service, Propreté des lieux
Cons: Variabilité de la courtoisie, Variabilité/température des plats

It's about the Buddah Bowl - Edit
I spent two days in town seemingly not eating any vegetables (which is totally possible for a vegan these days!!) I felt like something healthy and their Buddah Bowl was it. And it was perfect. I'd go again. Also had the interesting chocolate apple cake. Good chocolate cake, though perhaps more apples would equal a more interesting experience?? Friendly staff, popular place. Reminds me of Fresh in Toronto.
Read morePros: Good selection
Cons: A bit over my price range

Happy Mother's Day - Edit
We had a great time on Mother's Day!
Read moreServices were excellent and the food was delicious. My husband and my brother-in-law had the Dragon Bowls, my mother in law, a dear aunt of ours and my little brother had tempeh Burgers, my father in law had the Mumbai Thali, my dearest mother and myself shared a Salad and a Dragon Sandwich. The important thing is WE ALL ENJOYED IT!! No leftovers! Also now with Open Table, reservation ahead of time for large group is so easy!

Excellent - Edit
Très grand resto façon "diner" américain, les plats sont tout simplement délicieux ! Aux Vivres est une véritable institution végane à Montréal depuis 20 ans et on comprend très bien pourquoi !
Read moreTout est très savoureux et copieux, on y retrouve des plats mexicain, indien, thai et libanais mais aussi de la healthy food.

True gem - Edit
A couple of years ago my wife and I went to Aux Vivres. We loved back then when it was still small. We loved even more now, gladly surprised the place is much bigger and it was packed on Saturday at lunch, a testimony of its quality. Prices are reasonable, food was excellent. We had the "la polenta" and the "le complet", both very tasty and fulfilling.
Read moreIn addition, their store adjacent to the restaurant offers vegan products including their delicious desserts and sauces. Highly recommended.
Pros: Excellent food, Friendly staff, Reasonably priced
