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.
Très beaux restaurant, avec des plats vegans incroyables & généreux.
Terrasse adorable & très bien aménagée en été avec la rue Wellington fermée.
Mon seul bémol, serait la raisonnance de la salle de restauration, que je trouve un peu trop intense pour pouvoir avoir une conversation sans trop de brouhaha.

I was very pleasantly surprised how good this restaurant is & how delicious their vegan dishes are! We had their table d'hôte menu & it was great. Everything about the food was amazing. There was so much taste & the portions were simply perfect. We also really enjoyed the atmosphere which, in the evening, was really nice, especially with the window table.
Food is INCREDIBLE. Super delicious & portions are fine for the sharing plates. 5 plates between 3 people came to around 35$ each but I didn't feel satisfied by the end of the meal. The service is also much slower than we were expecting, so be sure to block out over an hour for lunch. I might go back if im in the area, but it wouldn't be my first pick.

We went here for dinner & the food was phenomenal. Highlights for me were the crudo melon, bao, cho -fleur shawarma, maitake, champignon buffalo, & brownie. The crudo melon was by far my favorite, there were various ingredients which created combinations of flavors, every bite was refreshing, different, & amazing.

Bon restaurant végane ! Les portions pourraient être plus généreuses, mais la table d'hôte en vaut la peine ! Nous recommandons les croquettes, les gnocchis & le brownie. ❤?
I've been to this restaurant a few times & always enjoyed the food & atmosphere. But my most recent visit was disappointing. Despite having a reservation & requesting a table by the window, we were seated in the back-even though the restaurant was nearly empty.
We waited over 45 minutes for a cocktail & weren't even offered water in the meantime. While the food was good as always, the service fell short. Our server did comp the drinks, which was appreciated, but there was little explanation about the menu or acknowledgment of the long wait.
It left us feeling overlooked, especially given the many available tables up front. Hoping this was just an off night. The owner was not there....
Myself & my friend was extremely impressed with Archway.
We will definitely be coming back!
From the food, cocktails & service we were amazed!
Thank you Emma for being an amazing host!

Excellent resto végane, malheureusement le seul de Verdun. Les frites de tofu sont dans mes choix numéro 1, succulentes & gouteuses. Les brunchs sont tout aussi incroyables. Gardez ce resto en vie car il est le seul dans ce quartier!
My wife & I stopped for a late lunch on Monday, May 26. The servers were incredibly friendly only to be topped by the excellence of the food. 5 days in Montreal & this was the best meal we experienced (& this is NOT the only 5* review I've left from this trip). We started with some delicious Muhammara. I then had the dumplings which were delicious (& the salad they were served with was wonderfully flavorful). My wife had gnocchi which were pillowy & served with several great sauces. We also had the pineapple pistachio mimosas which were among the most delicious I've ever had.
The decor is understated & the website is so nice, we had assumed it was a place we might need to dress up for….this was not the case. It is a clean & simply aesthetic & accessible to everyone.
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.
