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.
First time trying this vegan restaurant & it was a great experience. The place is quiet & has a really nice, cozy decor. The food tasted amazing everything was fresh & full of flavor, & the dessert was especially outstanding. Service with Sabrina was excellent she was friendly, attentive, & made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back. Recommended
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.

The atmosphere was lovely, & the staff were friendly as well. Service was too slow when it came to coffee for our table. The coffee itself was good, & the smoothie was amazing. I am not vegan, so the food itself wasn't my favourite but if you're looking for vegan options, this place seems to be the place.
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.
Nous sommes venus pour ma fête, & c'est un très bel endroit pour un repas à deux! La place est magnifique & la nourriture excellente. Nous avons partagé une table d'hôte & un ramen à 2. Les artichauts étaient tout simplement divins !
Aussi le service est impeccable, notre serveuse était très sympathique.
Super restaurant vegan!
Archway est tout simplement une expérience incontournable. La nourriture est d'une qualité exceptionnelle : des plats raffinés, créatifs & parfaitement exécutés, qui élèvent la cuisine végane à un autre niveau. Chaque bouchée est impressionnante. Le service est A1, professionnel, attentionné & chaleureux, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus mémorable. Honnêtement, j'ai été impressionné du début à la fin. Sans hésitation, le meilleur restaurant végan au Québec.

Archway is honestly incredible. The food is consistently an 11/10. Every time I go, I have to get the Caesar salad. It's chef's kiss, so good. & the drinks are just as amazing. There are so many options, & everything I've tried has been great. You really need to go. This is the best vegan restaurant I've ever been to. Even my friends who aren't vegan loved it & couldn't even tell the food was vegan. I love this place! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
As my first time & skeptical about trying a vegan restaurant, I was very surprised with how good it was, the price is on the high side but it is honestly worth every penny, the staff is amazing & super friendly! If it's your first time trying this type of food I highly recommend it!
A vegan restaurant is always a big treat for us as we are vegetarians & it is rare to find such gems!!
Highly recommend the House lemonade eith hibiscus & coconut milk
The dumplings & Bao
Fresh & high quality ingredients & great ambiance with fantastic service!
We were take care by Gabrielle, she was amazing!
J'ai découvert ce restaurant grâce à un ami qui m'y a amené. J'ai adoré la recette Chicken Waffle - c'était délicieux ! De nouvelles saveurs, de nouveaux ingrédients, un mélange vraiment incroyable.
Pour ceux qui veulent essayer la cuisine végane, c'est une excellente place pour commencer.
Je le recommande fortement.
Saturday night, October 25th: My girlfriend & I weren't specifically looking for vegan fare, but this place looked nice, so in we went & I'm glad we did. Food was excellent. Three staff members were very attentive & knowledgeable about how various things were made. There are magicians in this kitchen! Food arrived slowly, which might bother some people, but not us. We're slow eaters. Thank you!
J'adore ce petit resto de quartier. Pas besoin d'être végan pour apprécier, c'est toujours délicieux & original.
Autant les déjeuners, le café, le vin, les cocktails, que les plats du soirs. Le menu change souvent, avec des options sans gluten (pour les amis celiac).
