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.
It’s really disappointing, I really wanted to like this place. But the food quality wasn’t great, the vegan “meats” were rubbery & tasted bad. The tofu fries were hard & not enjoyable at all. I really regret bringing my nonvegan friends here since they left thinking vegan food is like this. Only good thing was the lavender matcha latte
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 !
Un des meilleurs restaurants végétaliens que j'ai testé ! Cuisine originale, avec des saveurs dont on a pas forcément l'habitude.
Ambiance chic très agréable. Je recommande !
I want to live in a world with an Archway in every neighborhood. The food was EXCELLENT — fresh ingredients; complex flavors without gimmicky gastronomic techniques. The staff was on their A-game — aware of what's going on your table without being too in your business. The drinks were balanced — bold without over-relying on sugar. I walked away full & delighted. My enthusiastic, whole-hearted recommendation to anyone in the area.

Délicieux & serveur très sympathique qui a pris le temps de nous parler des plats & bien nous expliquer les ingrédients contenus dans les plats & les drinks.
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!

Les saveurs sont incroyables, tout est tellement recherchés. C'est original & délicieux. Excellent service. Prix abordable également. Nous reviendrons c'est sûr.
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!
