Aux Vivres

We went to Aux Vivres at Westmount for a late lunch before heading to the airport. The experience started off very well-the server was friendly, the food was very good, & we were enjoying our meal.

Unfortunately, the experience took a disappointing turn toward the end. While we still had food on our plates, my young son wanted to use the restroom, so I got up to take him. Without any context, the server came over & said,'I see you guys are taking off, did you want the bill?' My husband & I were genuinely taken aback. I explained that I was simply taking my son to the restroom, at which point she stepped back & said,'Oh, okay.'

The interaction left us extremely uncomfortable. There was absolutely no indication that we intended to leave without paying, & it was particularly jarring to be treated as though that was a possibility while we were still in the middle of our meal.

We were the only family of color in the restaurant, so naturally, the interaction made us question what prompted that assumption. I hope the management takes this seriously & provides staff with better training around customer service, unconscious bias, & how assumptions about customers can come across.

We ultimately paid a bill of around $100 & tipped generously because we did not want this interaction to affect how we treated the rest of the staff. Unfortunately, it did affect our overall experience & left a very bad taste at the end of what had otherwise been a lovely meal.

Based on this experience, I would not recommend the restaurant.

The'fake salmon' sandwich has an Harmonious flavor. 😲 Wow, it's delicious & will definitely order it again! Thank you for making veganism something sensorially pleasant!

Spacieux, savoureux (quoique je ne suis pas végane), belle musique d'ambiance, mais surtout excellent service!

One of my go-to favorites when I visit Mtl 🫶🏻 Portions are huge, fresh & delicious! My non-vegan friend was super satisfied & the patio was a delight 🌞

J'ai trouvé ce restaurant via une application qui calcule les calories en photo. Ce bol avec du tempeh contenait assez de protéines pour ma journée. Le mélange de crudités était frais & bon. Le service est rapide & efficace.

Amazing vegan food, wonderful brunch on weekends too! Friendly staff, reliably good. You must come here if you are vegan or vegetarian. You can bring your non-veg friends, they will enjoy the food too.

Vraiment j'ai adoré le burger au champignons shitake. Il n'y a pas trop de sauce pas trop gras pour le prix c'est tres copieux avec salade de choux & pommes de terre frites. Petit bémol je parle en français mais par erreur on m'a donner un menu en anglais . Comme c'est ma première fois j'ai demandé un menu français & on s'est excuser . Ce qui reste smart.
