Archway serves a strictly plant-based menu centered on innovative, nutritionally dense ingredients that prioritize whole foods over processed substitutes. The kitchen utilizes fresh, seasonal produce to construct balanced bowls, vibrant salads, and hearty wraps that define a modern approach to vegan consumption. Every dish emphasizes bold, natural flavors through the strategic application of house-made sauces and diverse culinary techniques. The dining room maintains a minimalist aesthetic, creating an atmosphere that mirrors the purity and simplicity of the menu. This establishment represents a commitment to sustainable food practices while providing a focused, efficient eating experience for those seeking plant-forward nourishment.

Archway is widely celebrated as a premier vegan destination in Montreal, offering a creative and sophisticated menu that frequently impresses both plant-based diners and omnivores alike. Guests often highlight the exceptional quality, artistic presentation, and innovative flavor profiles of dishes like the gnocchi, chicken and waffles, and various tasting menus. While the atmosphere is consistently described as cozy, warm, and inviting, experiences regarding service and pacing can vary, with some patrons finding the timing slow or the staffing occasionally overwhelmed. Despite some mixed feedback regarding portion sizes or specific consistency issues, the majority of visitors leave feeling grateful for a memorable dining experience, praising the attentive staff and the restaurant's ability to elevate plant-based cuisine to a high-end level.
Archway is a Verdun gem for anyone looking for an upscale take on vegan food in a comfortable setting. Every time I come here, the service is great, the atmosphere is nice & the food is so tasty. While it's so much fun to come here & get my fill of vegetables, it's hard to justify the price of the dishes considering they are vegan. Everything is delicious, but the prices are high & the portions are relatively small. I have tried every dish here, & the best one by far is the maitake steak. This dish is so filling & innovative combining different flavours & textures. I also highly recommend the drinks here. Alcoholic or not, Archway's drink menu is filled with phenomenal sips.
Mon amie & moi on a adoré, tout était savoureux & les cocktails sont super bons. On y est allées un lundi & il n'y avait presque personne, c'était calme & la musique n'était pas forte, j'apprécie toujours les endroits où l'on peut simplement placoter calmement, sans bruit dérangeant l'écoute. On recommande, ce n'est pas cher pour une aussi bonne expérience.
always great food & drinks here. a bit on the expensive side but worth it. the room is not the most cozy, they could improve with less intense lighting & some sound dampening ( dark curtains on the flat white walls would help with both problems) but the food is soo good & the employees are always very kind & helpful

Absolument délicieux! Le service était superbe aussi. La musique n'est pas trop forte & les lieux sont bien éclairés tout en restant dans une ambiance feutrée (ce qui est le moins qu'on puisse dire pour la plupart des restos/bars montréalais haha).
We had delivered at home the kale salad, eggplant, tofu, dumplings, arancini & coco-lime dessert. All the flavours were there. We are sure if we ate at the restaurant, we have yet to go, the experience would have been different. Unfortunately we ordered online & the food arrived all smushy (except salad). The dumplings were sticking to the package, we had to fight to get them out (obviously lost the bottom). Perhaps a piece of parchment would help in the packaging. Wasn't warm by the time it got here somehow (we live 4 min by car away). But again, all the flavours were there & place seems to have potential. The drinks B12 & Golden were good (a bit too much ice). We're glad to have a vegetarian option in the neighbourhood.
Je ne suis ni vegan, ni végétarienne, mais j'avais envie d'essayer quelque chose de nouveau & c'était délicieux. On a essayé la table d'hôte pour 55$ qui comprend 2 entrées, un repas, un trou normand & un dessert! Tout était excellent, très bon rapport qualité-prix!
First time at Archway & I will definitely come back ! Maitake Steak was divine. Shout-out to Sophie for her first shift, she provided great service & hospitality.
Nous avons contacté le restaurant par téléphone afin de procéder à une réservation, & il nous a été précisé que deux places au bar étaient disponibles. Cependant, à notre arrivée, l'hôtesse nous a informés qu'une erreur de communication s'était produite, conduisant à l'attribution de nos places à d'autres clients. Cette expérience a été décevante, surtout compte tenu de notre déplacement & des frais de stationnement engagés.
I got the chance to get a reservation for St-Valentin & I got to order their special 5 course menu. It was some of the best vegan food I've had in my life! The service was amazing & the ambiance was great 👍
Had a beautiful evening with my non- vegan family members. Everyone greatly enjoyed the food, the ambiance was spectacular & the staff was extremely kind hearted. Will definitely be returning very soon💕
