Review Summary

Archway earns strong praise for inventive vegan cuisine, attentive service, and a warm, bright atmosphere that invites sharing and lingering. Reviews highlight dishes that feel artistic and well balanced, with standout charms like maitake, okonomiyaki, crudo melon, and a celebrated table d'hote that many call exceptional. The menu is noted for thoughtful flavor pairings, generous portions, and robust gluten-free options, making it accessible for vegetarians, vegans, and diners with dietary needs. The service is repeatedly described as friendly, professional, and genuinely caring, with guests often mentioning the welcoming staff and smooth coordination between kitchen and dining room. Some critiques mention occasional slower pacing, especially with drinks or during busy times, and a few nights with longer than expected durations or seating issues, such as a back corner table or an outdoor terrace where a sewer odor affected the ambience. The overall sentiment positions Archway as a standout vegan dining destination in the city, delivering delicious, creative dishes and memorable experiences that invite repeat visits.

I love Archway & the vibe (& I'm vegan) & I've usually loved the food at Archway.
Last night, however the food was a big miss :(
This is just constructive criticism in hopes that this will help the menu improve again:
- Meatballs: just tasted like beyond meat (not innovation & quite bland)
- the ceviche: just some hearts of palm in a spicy mayo, not at all ceviche like & just felt plan
- tofu polenta: did not taste any polenta & just felt like fried silken tofu with the same mayonnaise sauce as the ceviche:
- The squash main dish: really bland & too sweet. Felt more like a dessert - just tasted like squash with a lot of salt & brown sugar
- The mushroom "stake" (this was the most disappointing as I love mushrooms & know wait amazing things can be done with them). The rice & sauce was ok (but lacked overall flavor & was a little too sweet). The mushrooms were undercooked (not grilled or fried at all), & there was even dirt at the bottom of mine (the whole batch of separated were not but I guess just thrown in the pan & cooked in oil for a short period of time). The mushrooms were not even really salted to bring out the flavor.
- The desserts (& wine!) were excellent
- the service & ambiance were, as always, excellent

I'm only writing this as I love the restaurant & have had some delicious meals in the past. I want you to do well. I would hesitate to bring non vegans now because I would be worried this is how they would judge vegan food.

Thanks for listening!

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner which was to celebrate the birthday of my partner. The food was exceptional as usual & the service friendly & warm. Upon request my partner's dessert was brought out with a candle & the chef & waitress sang him Happy Birthday, which was so much appreciated!
The only reason I gave 4 stars in overall experience was the fact that we were told once seated, that we would have to be finished in time for the second seating. More specifically the reservation was made for 6:00pm & we were told that we would have to be finished by 7:50pm. Though this was not an issue for us, it would have been appreciated to have this information when making the reservations. Looking forward to our next meal at Archway!

The food was amazing, & our waitress was really lovely. Some of the portion sizes were a bit off (the dessert was the biggest portion which was delicious but odd, & the eggplant schnitzel vs the tandoori squash portion was surprising). The time between the first & second course (MTL a table) was very long, but the rest of the meal rolled smoothly. My partner & I both felt that the decor was nice but a bit bare... suggestions would be to do more with the ceiling/top of the wall space to add a coziness, because it felt a bit open & cold. Also the shelf near the door was empty which made it feel unfinished. Overall though, we had a great night & the food was delicious!! Thank you for a great experience!

Ma convive fut très irritée d'avoir à se dépêcher de finir notre dessert 20 minutes avant 8 pm.

Les mocktails... à tomber parterre, les entrées... un régal, le plat... moins émerveillée mais bon tout de même, le dessert (cheesecake)... Wahoo. Deuxième visite & je reviendrai. Le service est super, les plats sont fins, étudiés & sublimés. Meilleur resto vegan jamais fait!

The food at Archway Verdun is exceptional. My wife & I tried a half dozen small plates from their Night Menu based on the recommendation of the ever helpful Jay (Shitake Taco; Carrot Tao; Artichoke with Cashew Labneh; Hearts of Palm ceviche; Aranchin with Aioli Pesto; & the Financier for dessert). I would place Josiane, the chef, is up amongst some of the more creative plant-based fine food restaurants we have eaten at in various cities around the world. We will definitely be back before leaving Montreal.

Très bons plats végan, créatifs, subtils & goûteux. On sort des plats traditionnels végan & c'est tant mieux. On a beaucoup aimé le ceviche de coeur de palmier, le brunch bao-bab benedict, & pour les desserts le financier & le coco-limette cheese cake.
Cadre & service agréagle.

Repas de l'entré au dessert excellent! Chaque plat semble pensé pour éveiller les papilles! J'aimerais qu'il y ai plus de choses à essayer sur le menu tellement c'est bon!
