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.
Atmosphere was great & service was good, but the food was not. Had the baklava pancakes which unfortunately tasted like wet uncooked flour. Probably won't be going back.
I ordered baklava pancake. Too much baking soda, we can taste it. Weird mix of blueberries & pistachios. Hard on the outside & soft in the middle. Very expensive for the quality.
Absolutely delishious food. Highly recommend. Great service. Although, a little bit of constructive criticism...the strawberry smoothie my mom had needed more fruit & a little less what I think was pea protein based milk; the mimosas where very tasty but too sweet. Needed more orange juice & less syrup. Everyone else really loved their dishes. We were 11 people total. The pancakes ended up being too sweet in the end. My sister was only able to eat half of her plate. I had the Chicken Waffle, which was OUT OF THIS WORLD DELICIOUS !!!! The flavor combinations where right on point. Will be visiting again!

We enjoyed the terrace with a shaded table on a sunny day ☀️. Baklava pancakes were beautifully presented, were Deelish 😋 & such a huge portion! The waitress was super nice & helpful 🤩. Did NOT wait long for our meal. Will DEFINITELY go back even though I'm not a vegan 😃 5 ⭐️
Cute patio & nice ambiance. Lots of drink options which is always fun. The menu is quite extensive so there has to be something for everyone. Quite impressed by the breakfast sandwich which tastes like a delicious high quality non vegan breakfast sandwich. We also really enjoyed the ramen. Despite their beautiful presentation, we weren't the biggest fan of their baklava pancakes ( dense & not the most flavourful ). Potatoes & matcha latte are just ok. Prices are quite high but that's just what you see in the neighbourhood. I'd give it maybe a 7.5/10.
Le toast à l'avocat était top mais les pancake baklava étaient pas très bons. La texture est vraiment étrange, plutôt comme des gâteaux mais pas vraiment cuits. C'était servi dans une assiette ébréchée & le service était vraiment leeeent. Au final bon potentiel mais un peu inégal en fonction du plat qu'on commande. Édit : je viens de voir la réponse du propriétaire, pourquoi ne pas signaler que ce plat est sans gluten ?
Everything was good. I wanted to try the baklava pancakes & they were good. It was my first time trying vegan food so maybe I am not the best judge of vegan takes on non-vegan foods. Overall, my grandma & I were very happy.
Notre brunch était délicieux!
J'ai commandée les Baklava Pancakes pour la 4ième fois, & malheureusement je trouve qu'ils ont changé depuis la première fois. Les crêpes sont un peu trop épaisses & lourdes... si la recette pourrait retourner à l'originale ça serait plus que presque parfait 🤤🩷💛
I just HAD to try the baklava pancakes - which did not disappoint!! But I have to say, I enjoyed the waffles even more! Still thinking about it weeks later 🤤
Cortado was excellent. Baklava pancakes were a bit dense. The pistachios & cream on top were a nice complement, & not very sweet. This dish doesn't really make me think of baklava though. Ceviche was tasty, more on the sour tangy side. Would have been nice to have seen a bit more contrast in colours of the ingredients & maybe some herbs. A carb or some sort of chip or cracker or side would have helped. Maitake dish continues to be a miss. Just too unbalanced. The chili maple syrup sauce is too sweet, paired with coconut cream rice that is also sweet... I would maybe come back here for the coffee & drinks. Service was courteous & considerate & the kitchen was very accommodating. Everything was served very hot & was appetizing but I think some of the dishes can be reworked.

The service & atmosphere here were excellent, but the food I ordered was not great. I had the Baklava Pancakes which had a thick, heavy texture & the flavours didn't mix well. I also had the Chicken & Waffles, & although the mock chicken was good, the polenta waffles were very grainy. The chai latte I ordered tasted like flavoured water. These dishes were recommended to me by my server. I love supporting all vegan restaurants & I was really looking forward to coming based on previous reviews, but unfortunately this was a disappointing brunch experience overall.
Toute la carte m’a donné envie. L’endroit & très agréable, la bouffe très bonne, le personnel très agréable. Le baklava pancakes est un peu sucré mais c’est ce qu’on attend de l’appellation “baklava” & c’est succulent quand même. Top 2 des pancakes que j’ai goûté à Mtl pour ma part!
Il nous faut plus de restos vegan de cette qualité !
My sister & I both ordered the pancakes & we were very disappointed, they did not have the taste or texture of pancakes, we were unable to finish our meal at a cost of over $32,00!!! I would never recommend the pancakes to anyone! But the service was excellent!
Beautiful vegan restaurant on Wellington. Food was great for the most part. Highly recommend the gnocchi & tofu fries! Santorini salad was fresh, tasty & filling. Great variety of drinks. Loved my mocktail. I really wanted to like the baklava pancakes but they were quite hard & was difficult to cut through. Service could have been better. We kept having to chase our gentleman for water. He also forgot our drinks & we received them well after we started eating. He also spoke awkwardly & made more small talk than necessary while we were clearly eating & conversing amongst us. Maybe he was new? Still interested in going back to try more items on the menu. Atmosphere was lovely & enjoyable.
