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!
Excellente soirée. Repas extraordinaire très savoureux & peu chers. Nous avons pris la table d'hôte très bon deal. Même les cocktails & vins étaient très abordables. Que dire du service : les serveuses étaient très attentionnées & à l'écoute. L'ambiance est calme. Nous reviendrons sans aucun doute.
I really like their food but last time I ate here the food was so hot I literally got a second degree burn on my face that last almost 2 months of scarring. I told the server & she just said "oh". When my partner said "I don't think you understand. This is a serious burn. This would seriously hurt a child!" She said "oh I'll let the kitchen know". No comp or anything. We haven't returned since. Truthfully I am vegan & go to vegan restaurant for this reason. But the customer service in Montreal, especially at vegan places seems to be sub zero par & it's getting to the point I don't want to support bad restaurants anymore.
Archway is a mid-tier vegan restaurant serving up classic western dishes that are fully plant-based & delicious. The restaurant is cozy, adorned with house plants that really bring out a sense of calmness while dining. My friend decided to split their Lion's Mane Mushroom Kaarage ($19) along with their Truffle Fettuccini ($29) & the Maitake Steak ($28). We absolutely loved the mushrooms as they were perfectly battered & fried, & you don't often find lion's mane mushrooms in restaurants. For the mains, the fettuccini was the standout with the slight hint of truffles being used to elevate the flavor. Our Maitake mushroom steak was okay as well. I felt it lacked some depth in flavor & relied heavily on the sauce laid underneath, which was still delicious. The polenta sticks accompanying the mushrooms were food too. I would stick with the kaarage & noodles for this one. We also ended the meal with their Baklava Pear ($14) which was aromatic, sweet, & a great way to end the meal. Prices are a bit steeper than I like but it was still great to experience one of the best vegan restaurants in town. Reservations are a must.
La Table d'hôte est remarquable & novatrice. Même pour les habitués de restaurants, ce menu vous surprendra certainement. Plats bien composés, saveurs variés & succulents. Le trou normand pause le tout avant la fin. Très bonne valeur pour le prix (55$ CAD). Avec la terrasse sur la rue Wellington piétonnière, ce restaurant est le coup de coeur. Vegan must see.

We have traveled the world & this is truly some of the best food - vegan or otherwise - that we have experienced anywhere. We ordered from the brunch menu (available until 4pm! Even during the week!) & both the sweet & savory options were superlative, demonstrating nuance without resorting to the "more is more" conceit that too many vegan restaurants substitute for sophistication. Neither prohibitively expensive nor stuffy in atmosphere, this is a destination restaurant & we look forward to planning our return.
this is my third visit to Archway. the first time i thought, "this is a good restaurant, for a vegan restaurant." the second time i thought, "this is a good restaurant, for a vegan restaurant. no, wait, this is just a good restaurant." the third time, i thought, "i am so glad to be coming back here!" i love the way they put flavours together, how their plant-based cheese actually tastes good, how generous the portions are, how beautifully they're plated. & the service is friendly & attentive--just the perfect blend--not hovering, but regularly checking in, & not only our waiter, but others passing by as well. the vibe is great, the room is lovely (& the outdoor space is comfy, too, but it was rainy so we were inside), spacious & calm. the wine list is good, & the mock- & cocktails are not to be missed. the price for the table d'hôte is totally reasonable for what you get, too, as are the other prices on the menu.
I have to give a HUGE shoutout to the service at this place , we came in with a large party of 12 for a bachelorette & the staff were beyond accommodating. Everything from hospitality to making sure our diets were taken care of with such sincerity & made the celebrations even more memorable!! Thank you again for such a lovely time 🥂
We came for drinks & nibbles. The service was great, really warm & welcoming even to english speakers who couldn't speak french! The cocktails were great & other drinks too. We got the melon sashimi that really impressed us all - it was perfectly balanced & super refreshing. We also got the green goddess salad that was delicious & had a lovely dressing. Would definitely recommend!
Top class vegan in Montreal! Lovely waiting staff - particularly enjoyed the cherry cocktail (off-menu). Highly recommend. Montreal is such a treat for vegetarians & this is up there!
