Étant intolérante au lactose, je peux dire que c'est le premier brunch excitant que j'ai déguster depuis extrêmement longtemps. La nourriture était excellente, le mimosa créatif & délicieux. Notre serveur était attentionné. J'y retournerai très certainement !
This is my second time at Archway & loved it yet again! I had the chicken waffle for brunch & it was delicious 😋 the waffle got a bit hard half way through the meal but it was still sooooo delicious & I would order this again in a heartbeat! I also ordered the B12 spirulina drink & enjoyed it! Love the vibe of this place & I'll be back when I'm in Montreal once again;)
We only went here cause Janine was packed on St. Jean for brunch. No clue it was vegan. We are not very big vegan eaters, but we were pleasantly surprised with the outstanding quality of the food. The best pancakes I have had vegan or otherwise! My wife had a breakfast sandwich & actually loved it despite being a hungover carnivore who was craving greasy breakfast. Would recommend to anyone, vegan or otherwise. It is a bit pricey, but the quality is worth it.
Amazing discovery! I went to Archway over the weekend for brunch & had a great experience. All the food as well as the drinks we ordered were original & delicious. The staff was extremely kind & attentive. I'll definitely be back soon 🥰
On ne se lasse pas de venir au archway! Que ce soit pour le brunch, le souper, profiter du 5@7 (avec des cocktails vraiment excellents) ou simplement prendre un café, c'est notre place préférée à Verdun! Les saveurs sont vraiment recherchées, tant dans les plats que dans les boissons & le staff est chaleureux & accueillant. Merci à eux aussi d'être hyper vigilant concernant les allergies alimentaires, ça en fait une safe place pour ceux qui ont des intolérances comme moi.
Mention particulière pour notre serveur habituel Mike avec sa gentillesse & sa patience :)
Came here for weekend brunch & had the Gnocchis Shakshuka while my friends had the Okonomiyaki, Chicken Waffle, & Breakfast Sandwich.
The service was really accomodating & despite not having a reso, the staff quickly found us bar seats & gave us a table as soon as one opened up. They also took our coats/bags for us while we were at the bar which was very appreciated. The atmosphere was really warm & welcoming. Unfortunately, I found my Gnoccis Shakshouka a bit bland & drowned out by the tomatoe-y flavour. In contrast, the Okonomiyaki I tried was full of flavour & the kimchi in the dish was quite refreshing. Overall, I give this vibrant verdun vegan joint a 4/5 particularly because of the atmosphere & service.
Love their brunch menu! Have been a returning customer for many years now. Everything is delicious, one of the best vegan spot in Montreal. Perfect for a date or birthday celebration, the decor is really nice too.
