Overall impressions of Archway describe a standout vegan dining experience with inventive dishes, fresh ingredients and bold flavors presented with care, a warm and stylish atmosphere, and attentive service that many reviews call welcoming and professional. Brunch and dinner favorites include dumplings, gnocchi, okonomiyaki, artichoke tempura, maitake, and desserts, with notable table dote experiences and crowd pleasing drinks, while a few nights show slower pacing or minor misses, the overall sentiment remains highly positive and invites a return.
Delicious vegan food, big portions, affordable & creative, even the cocktails are great & not too sweet. Highlights: tao tofu (peanut sauce delish), mushroom steak with grilled pineapple, dumplings, jackfruit bao buns, & the brownie dessert .

I recently visited this vegan restaurant & had a really satisfying experience overall. The ingredients tasted fresh & vibrant, & every dish felt thoughtfully prepared. One of the standout aspects is the portion sizing, which is designed to suit different appetites. The smaller items work perfectly as appetizers, allowing you to try a variety of flavors, while the larger plates are generous & ideal for sharing with others.
The quality of the food truly shines through its taste. Each bite highlights how creative & flavorful vegan cuisine can be when done right. The balance of textures & seasoning made the dishes enjoyable from start to finish.
The desserts are an absolute must-try & easily one of the highlights of the experience. They are incredibly creative & beautifully presented. We especially enjoyed the crème brûlée topped with coconut flakes & the almond cakes, which were both rich, satisfying, & memorable.
Overall, this restaurant offers a great combination of tasty ingredients, well-planned portions, & standout desserts. It's a perfect place whether you're dining sharing a meal with friends.
Mon amoureux & moi sommes des clients très réguliers de l'établissement & chaque visite confirme la même impression : ici, tout le monde a sincèrement à coeur la satisfaction & le plaisir de la clientèle.
Dès l'accueil, on se sent attendu. Le personnel est chaleureux, naturel & attentionné sans être envahissant. Il écoute réellement, prend les commentaires avec enthousiasme & donne l'impression d'être constamment à la recherche de la meilleure façon d'améliorer l'expérience. On sent une équipe investie, animée par un véritable désir de bien faire... & même de faire mieux à chaque service. Comme si la perfection n'était pas déjà atteinte!
Les assiettes arrivent toujours impeccables, présentées avec un soin exceptionnel &, détail révélateur, toujours à température parfaite. La coordination entre la cuisine & la salle est impressionnante.
Quant à la cuisine du chef, elle est aussi créative que maîtrisée. Les saveurs sont franches & équilibrées, les textures dialoguent entre elles, & chaque plat apporte une surprise sans jamais tomber dans l'excès. On y va de découverte en émerveillement. Les choix proposés à chaque service sont pensés avec intelligence : ils se répondent autant qu'ils se contrastent. À deux, c'est un pur ravissement de prendre des plats différents & de les partager. On a alors l'impression de vivre le menu dans toute sa richesse.
La table d'hôte de la Saint-Valentin a été, à notre avis, la meilleure produite par Archway à ce jour. Une succession de plats vraiment extraordinaires qui nous ont marqués du début à la fin.
On ressort de chez Archway profondément heureux & pleins de gratitude. Merci infiniment à toute l'équipe en salle, en cuisine & à la direction!
Visiting The Archway was a very fun & delicious experience... I would even say unique! Beautiful decor, very friendly & polite service, great creative menu. The chicken & waffles was fantastic, I highly recommend it! The eggs Benedict was good as well, however it did not remind me of eggs Benedict. It did have a vegan egg & it was very interesting to pop the yolk & taste it (I didn't really care for the taste but it was an amazing imitation). The soup of the day which was Tom yum & dumplings was delicious. We also tried two adaptogen beverages (according to google, "an adaptogen is a non-toxic plant or mushroom substance that can help the body manage stress, anxiety, & fatigue"). We tried the two first ones on the menu, I believe golden latte & the mushroom hot chocolate. They were very comforting & tasty & definitely interesting to try!! I also tried a ginger & lemon cookie which was good but slightly dry & a blueberry muffin which also was quite dry but good, & in all fairness they were the two last pastries left so that might explain why they got dry. All in all, I definitely recommend trying The Archway!
This may be the best vegan food I have ever eaten (tied with Bloom). The artistry & creativity is unmatched. I have been vegan for 9 years, & searched for good vegan food in NY, the Bay Area, Philly, Vermont & many places in between, & I cannot find a match for the passion that Montreal holds for food. It's the main reason we keep coming back to Montreal (along with the spas & architecture). Our server was patient & knowledgeable. The decor was a welcoming warm minimalism that set a calm atmosphere. As soon as we saw the menu, I had high expectations. The drinks were next level creative & delicious. & the food was just perfection. The portions are very generous, so I recommend ordering a few entrees & sharing, if you're attending with a group. The server recommended the chicken & waffles, which was not at all on my short list. But I'm grateful they did, as I was thoroughly impressed with the myriad components. There was a such a balance to the flavors; something that is often overlooked in my daily routine of salads & bowls. The restaurant should be immensely proud of their work. The front of house staff create a welcoming environment while the kitchen creates amazing fare. Overall, an incredible meal that has me looking fiestas to my next visit.
Can't say enough good things about this spot; food is delicious,creative & exciting. Staff is friendly & take the time to explain the dishes & anything else on the menu. Despite not being vegan myself, I love the concept & admire how well thought of & flavourful the dishes are. Ordered the Bao plate recently which was so tasty! Really love their smoothies as well, price point is on the higher side but worth the treat.
One of the few vegan places that has a large & creative selection of plant based foods for anyone to be interested in. Great selection of wines & you can't even tell it's vegan! Super adorable terrace setup on Wellingtons pedestrian only street. Menu changes seasonally, so it's always different if you come often (like me!)

Loved this gem so much!! The drinks are creative & pretty & the food items are perfectly crafted. Had the breakfast sandwich & the bacon & egg looked & tasted just like real ones would. It's food science at its best. Couldn't recommend this place more for vegan or non vegan!!
Good & creative food, loved their blueberry smoothie of the day. Very friendly service. Removed one star for the price to quantity ratio. Would still return!
