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.

Definitely worth a stop if in the Montreal area!View more

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!View more

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.View more

Délicieux repas. Gastronomie végétalienne de haute voltige! Service attentionné, efficace & discret. Décor minimaliste (sauf pour les fleurs séchées derrière les banquettes qui nuisent à l'élégance globale. Seuls bémols: le confort des chaises & les décibels. Il faudrait vraiment trouver des moyens d'atténuer le bruit des convives dans ce grand local écho. Je n'ai aucune idée de votre choix de musique & l'ambiance cosy que méritent la qualité de la cuisine & le service est raté. Je suis sorti avec les oreilles qui bourdonnent & l'impression d'avoir mangé un grand repas dans une cafétéria.

Beau restaurant au coeur de verdun - Les plats sont beaux & + poussé au niveau de la presentation que la plupart des restaurants - La nourriture etait OK, rien d'exceptionnel en soit - Le cocktail etait très bon - Les prix sont élevés (tu paie pour le décor, la présentation des plats) - La qualité des ingredients est bonne mais quand meme trop cher - Le service etait ok, rien de specialView more

Nourriture exceptionnelle, le service de Paco était *parfait* (attentionné & très connaissany de la carte de vin)
Seul petit bémol : la lumière très crue sur un décor très blanc donne une atmosphère de cafétéria. Un simple tamisage le soir donnerait de l'ambiance

Great first visit, impressive plates, & friendly smiling service. I really the decor, very restful, but we were having a late dinner after a show, so being midweek, we were only customers. We had a jolly time at our table, but not able to judge the atmosphere of a Saturday night crowd for example.

The food was amazing, & our waitress was really lovely. Some of the portion sizes were a bit off (the dessert was the biggest portion which was delicious but odd, & the eggplant schnitzel vs the tandoori squash portion was surprising). The time between the first & second course (MTL a table) was very long, but the rest of the meal rolled smoothly. My partner & I both felt that the decor was nice but a bit bare... suggestions would be to do more with the ceiling/top of the wall space to add a coziness, because it felt a bit open & cold. Also the shelf near the door was empty which made it feel unfinished. Overall though, we had a great night & the food was delicious!! Thank you for a great experience!

Le sandwich déjeuner était bon, mais les patates manquaient d'assaisonnement. Les tables près de la cuisine sont moins charmantes que celles à l'avant, mais le décor du restaurant est joli.View more

I'm not going to list what restaurants you should go to for flavourful & delicious vegetarian food but this is 100% not one of them. I came here twice & both times the experience was entirely underwhelming gastronomically. Tonight I had the eggplant dish which was served on a whole head of lightly grilled lettuce. At 9$ it would have been acceptable to eat such an astonishingly tasteless dish but for 23$, immediately** no. My friends cabbage dish also tasted like it was prepared by a well meaning, 15yo son. The service, my margarita & the decor were however truly lovely. If you don't need to eat here, you're good. In the bottom 10% of vegetarian restaurants in MTL for me.View more

The place is lovely but the muaic didnt match it- Micheal Jackson Beat It? Instrumental music would go better witb the clean white decor.
The dumplongs were amazing, but the main dishes were not.the Fettucini was hard & there wasnt enough balamce between the creaminess & some greens or other complimentary flavours. The mushroom dish was super bland & way out of balance
They were kind enough to not charge us for the mushroom dish we didn't eat.
I like the brunch but do not recommend for dinne

Magnifique petit restaurant : nourriture fraîche, exquise & originale, service délicat, attentionné & professionnel, décor apaisant. J'aurais accordé une cinquième étoile si la musique (même si elle n'était aucunement « agressante ») avait plutôt été du genre « celtique & relaxante » (p. ex. Dance of Life), ce qui, à mon avis, aurait été en parfaite adéquation avec l'endroit!

My first time with a friend & we both loved it. Our waitress recommended the arancini & artichoke & these were incredibly tasty!! We also ordered the udon & that was also lovely. Service, decor, & most importantly the food were all great!
