Tried this vegan place with my family today - good ambiance & a lively, happening vibe. It was our first vegan?only experience, & honestly, a refreshing change from the usual restaurants. A little expensive, but overall okay if you want something different.
J'adore la nourriture, mais leur section pour emporter est toujours vide quand on passe. C'est frustrant de se déplacer & que ce soit vide à chaque fois.

Quelle belle découverte! Un service hors pair, une nourriture délicieuse & généreuse & des prix plus que corrects pour la quantité! J'y retournerai assurément! Merci à notre serveuse Kelly pour son service & ses recommandations ❤?
I have had food from Aux Vivres many times (going all the way back to when they were in a small spot on saint Dominique), & while my girlfriend's order (the gyro) was tasty & a nice large portion filled with plenty of crispy lettuce, tomatoes, pickled onions & delicious tzatziki; my order, le royal cheeze, was just a disappointment. There was a sad single leaf of lettuce, single slice of tomato, & a patty that was pasty & underwhelming.
For the price I felt pretty unhappy, as I seriously could have just gone to A&W if I wanted something better than what I got.
For those interested in an amazing vegan burger experience I'd recommend not having one here, stick to their bowls (the dragon is a classic) or the wraps, & go to LOV for a burger that's worth paying 22$ for.
I go to Aux Vivres once a week on Mondays, & it is consistently excellent. The food is always fresh, vibrant, & delicious.
A huge thank you to Natasha, who serves me on a regular basis. She is so sweet & always recommends the best dishes on the menu. Thank you, Natasha, for adding so much warmth to my weekly visits & making every meal special!
Very happy today with my favorite Dragon Bowl. The tempeh is super tasty & moist. The vegetables were very fresh today. Thank you for welcoming my baby in as some places make you feel like you shouldn't have come there. Since this location opened the quality has improved 100% as the tempeh was dry & the vegetables weren't the freshest but since then after a couple months things got better & better. Itsy favorite vegan resto now & close by. customer for life
Really enjoyed the visit. The tempeh tacos were the highlight - crisp, well-seasoned, great sauce & pickled onions. The curried soup was rich & comforting. The Buddha Bowl looked beautiful but had too much filler lettuce; I ended up having to deconstruct it to eat it properly. Would have preferred a smaller, tighter bowl with less greens & more of the good stuff. Service was fast & friendly. Solid spot, will be back. 4/5
