SO GOOD!!! - Edit
atmosphere & delightful bites. the kimchi fries were INSANE i’ve never tasted anything like it before, so delicious! the soup could’ve used a bit more flavour, maybe some salt or even a bit creamier - however the place was outstanding and i need you to go! (the avril amaretto sour was incredible!)
Read morePros: intriguing menu, lots of options, great cocktails

Exceptional vegan food !!! - Edit
My goodness this place is incredible!! Myself and my partner were blown away. The interior is beautiful, the staff are so friendly , and the food is simply divine!! We got the ricotta and the halloumi salad for starter. The halloumi dish was so fresh and tasty, but my goodness the ricotta was one of the best things we’ve eaten. For mains we got the cheeseburger with kimchi fries and the mujadarra bowl - both were excellent. We then got the crime brûlée for dessert and it was stunning. We got way too much food but don’t regret it!! Will be back here on every visit to Montreal!!

I always try to visit at least once or twice whenever I’m in Montreal. Have had nothing but absolutely fantastic meals every time. Brought two non-vegan friends and they both loved it too.

Beautiful, creative plant-based cuisine - Edit
Beautifully presented plant-based food in a chic ambiance, with creative twists on classic dishes. This is definitely an "insta-worthy" place to visit! I love that their menu relies mostly on whole plant foods and very little on processed vegan meats and cheeses.
Read moreThe mujaddara bowl was was a feast for the eyes and the palate - it came with confit garlic tahini, pesto, vegan feta, pomegranate, crispy onions, and candied walnuts. It's a seasonal dish so grab it while you can! The portion was large and filling.
The appetizers we got were a bit pricey for the small portion they came in, but still delicious nevertheless. The "calamari" was made of hearts of palm and tasted quite convincing, especially with their creamy lemon-truffle aioli. The fried dumplings were served with a decadent almond butter & kimchi sauce that was so good I could literally drink it straight up (LOL).
On weekends they have an awesome vegan brunch menu. I recommend the tofu benedict (the crispy tofu & the truffle aioli that comes with the potatoes are to die for).
They also have a great selection of cocktails and wines. I would recommend the Peachy Keen cocktail or the sangria if you're looking for something fruity and refreshing.
Gluten-free options are clearly labelled on the menu.

Délicieux et gourmet - Edit
Malheureusement, les succulents Gniocchi n’y sont plus offerts! Or, nous avons dégusté le bol Californien qui était fort riche (beaucoup de carbs incluant patates blanches, patates douces et riz basmati!), le risotto (onctueux de noix de cajou) et les entrées de betteraves et de frittes Kimchi. La qualité des aliments fut excellente. Toutefois, les prix ont encore considérablement augmenté! Ce restaurant est charmant et romantique, mais pas donné!

Expensive and not that tasty - Edit
Props to our very hard-working waiter who did his best to keep us posted. Kitchen was backed up so it was a long wait for food. The appetizers were both good...we had the hearts of palm calamari and the dumplings. I had the Mushroom burger entree. The bun was hard and the bottom was cold. It was too heavily fried (the mushroom) for my taste. The truffle fries were good.

Okay - Edit
I was expecting more. The space is cute, but service was super slow and food was underwhelming. The curry lacked flavor and tasted like a watered-down, store-bought curry sauce.

Truffle fries - Edit
The food was pretty good, and the cafe itself was very cute. The mushroom risotto left more to be desired, but other items like the truffle fries were really great!

Best vegan Montreal - Edit
The kind hospitality, attentive staff, excellent variety of plant based/vegan options and drinks both mocktails/cocktails, and perfect sized portions won our family of 5 over. Gender neutral washrooms that have single stalls and communal hand washing station is welcoming. The decor and variety of seating options from high boy seating, bar seating, round tables, and whimsical hanging wicker chairs give the place major charm. It’s a must to stop here and eat anytime of the day!

Spectacular! - Edit
We were lucky enough to find Lov on our second day visiting the city, and returned for brunch both Saturday and Sunday. Food is beautifully prepared and presented, and everything we tried was delicious. Brunch was so delicious in fact, that we both ordered the Benedict both times we went. Lol On Saturday they were out of breakfast potatoes so we subbed in fries.

Best Vegan food EVER - Edit
This place is an absolute cracker !!! The choice on the menu is extensive and varied and it all tastes so delicious. I'm working my way through the menu.. So far I haven't made it to desert ..maybe tonight ! Thr mushroom burger was to die for, I opted for salad with it. The soup DU jour was scrumptious. The lasagna last night was so tasty .. I'd highly recommend trying this place. Oh and the staff are so friendly
Read morePros: All vegan , So much choice , DELICIOUS
Cons: A little on the pricey side but so worth it , Small restaurant so gets busy , I dont live near here !!!!

If you want to share food that is beautiful, in a place that is really beautiful and well decorated : it’s for you.

Choix décevants - Edit
Bien que nous adorions le LOV auparavant, nos dernières visites nous ont déçus….
Read moreFish & Chips : 4 petits morceaux de tofu pané sans saveur sur un bol de frites pour 17$.
Burger de pleurotes: la moitié des pleurotes n’étaient pas cuites à l’intérieur de la panure. M’avait semblé meilleur au LOV du Dix30.
Dommage…
Pros: Que vegan!, Ambiance agréable
Cons: Cher, Peu d’options
