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.
The brunch & dinner at Archway are both incredible. Each dish is better than the next, the service is impeccable & the atmosphere is really nice. This isn't a vegan restaurant that pretends to serve meat; it's just an authentically good restaurant.

So glad this place exists!
The food is phenomenal & everything is vegan. They also have many gluten free options that aren't marked on the menu (you can ask when you call or ask a waiter.tress on site).
De super plats vegan. Moi qui est très viande habituellement, j'ai adoré découvrir ce restaurant & je compte y revenir!
Beaucoup de place pour la poussette & service bien attentionné à l'heure du dîner.
I've been vegan for about 4 years now, & this place is the best vegan restaurant I have found to date. Many interesting choices, all presented like pieces of art. Everything I tried, I really liked. Atmosphere is very nice, & the staff was great as well. Will definitely go back, & will look forward to it.
10/10!!! Que ce soit le service, les plats, les boissons, l'ambiance, vraiment c'était super! Je vous recommande vivement ce restaurant vegan! Nous nous sommes régalés!
Mention spéciale à l'équipe qui a été très vigilante & attentive pour mes allergies alimentaires, très appréciable :)

Je suis un habitué du restaurant & cela vaut franchement le détour ! Les plats sont originaux & délicieux, le service est 5 étoiles & l'ambiance cosy & sympathique ! Un incontournable de Verdun pour un repas atypique & délicieux ... mais surtout étonnamment vegan !
Mon restaurant vegan préféré! Tout est tellement délicieux a chaque fois, les recettes sont aussi audacieuses, on est vraiment ailleurs. Allez l'essayer!
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.
Beau restaurant. Il y a clairement un bel effort fait pour le menu. Si vous êtes pure végane vous allez probablement aimer. Pour les autres je ne suis pas certain... Ce n'est pas un endroit très "végétarien-friendly". Faux oeufs, faux bacon, faux fromage, etc. Sans options pour la vrai chose. Il y a certains restaurants véganes qui sont très bien pour les végétariens ou les carnivores. Ici ce n'est pas le cas à mon avis. J'ai trouvé que ça manque de saveurs & que c'était difficile à digérer.
Quelle belle découverte que nous avons fait!!! Ce fut une explosion de saveurs, avec une qualité exceptionnelle dans l'exécution & la présentation!! Les plats & dessert étaient incroyable! Nous nous sommes tout simplement régalés!! De plus, nous avons eu un service extraordinaire! Essayez-le sans faute!!! Vous ne regretterez pas!!! Une cuisine vegan succulente (même en n'étant pas vegan). Ils ont une belle carte des vins & beaucoup de choix de cocktails savoureux. Nous avons pris la dégustation de 3 sortes de vins & ce fut une très belle expérience! Je n'écris pas souvent d'avis, mais ce resto était digne de mention.
I was referred to Archway, & enthusiastically for brunch! I was super excited to try the Benedict. If I'm ever brave enough to eat butter & eggs again, I'm all over eggs benny. So, a GREAT vegan restaurant with a vegan benny? Cool. Except...the coolness of the "no egg" was outweighed by the overpowering sweetness of the jackfruit (sort of unsurprising as jackfruit can be a bit too much,) the chipotle was undetectable & the sauce tasted nothing like hollandaise, not even a near-but-vegan sort of thing. I feel I was upsold on their mimosa--albeit a cocktail version--& all I really wanted was some fresh squeezed oj. But, my bad, I didn't read that their mimosa was not MY mimosa. Interesting, but again so sickly sweet it was overpowering. Next time I'm in town, I'm going for dinner!
