WELCOME TO AUX VIVRES, MONTREAL'S FIRST VEGAN RESTAURANT.
At Aux Vivres, we serve fresh, innovative and delicious vegan food using nothing but the highest quality ingredients. We have made it our mission to debunk any myths people may hold about vegan food by preparing meals that are flavourful and inspired, all the while being healthy and satisfying.
Aux Vivres receives wide praise for flavorful, fresh vegan dishes, generous portions and a warm, cozy atmosphere. Dishes like the Mumbai bowl, Thai bowl, Dragon bowl, BLT and dahl soup are repeatedly cited as satisfying, with thoughtful ingredient combinations and plenty of vegetables. The menu is described as healthy and comforting, with many reviewers noting gluten free options and allergy awareness. The staff is often described as friendly and attentive, with praise for service and ambiance, though a few comments point to slower service during busy periods. Occasionally criticisms appear about price value, portions that feel very large for some, changes to the menu removing favorites like Tom Yum soup and Malai Kofta, and in one case a report of food poisoning after the Dragon bowl. The venue is described as a Montreal institution and a go to for both vegans and non vegans, with brunch, smoothies and a shop for take away. Overall, the reviews suggest Aux Vivres is a cornerstone of vegan dining in Montreal, with frequent recommendations to try the BLT and the variety of bowls, and a note to plan for potential crowds.
Chaque visite est un vrai plaisir. Les plats sont savoureux, colorés & remplis de fraîcheur. On sent la qualité des ingrédients & le soin apporté à chaque assiette. Même les non-végétaliens sont conquis!
L'ambiance est chaleureuse, le service attentionné & l'expérience toujours constante. Que ce soit pour un brunch, un lunch ou un smoothie, tout est délicieux.
Un incontournable végane à Montréal - je recommande sans hésiter!
Dahl soup, great flavor, thick & hearty. Thumbs up
Okonomiyaki bowl, eating healthy can be fun & delicious. Great quality & variety of ingredients. Definitely would get again. Really like the tofu shiitake patty. Saw at least two other tables order it, so I did right
Hibiscus lemonade, really tart
Chocolate banana pie bucket not the set tooth spot on recommendation of the waitress.

Je suis retourné cette semaine pour le superbe Brunch offert maintenant tous les jours de la semaine. Ça vaut le détour!
Great place for a vegan meal.
Chaque fois qu'on revient, on est heureux de retrouver une bouffe végane réconfort: savoureuse, portion copieuse & visuellement plaisante.
Great vegan brunch! We had the wrap, the full breakfast & pancakes. All well done, pancakes were very well done. So happy to have these options in Montreal!
I went with some friends for brunch, we had a great time & very very tasty food. This place always deliver & has been our top choice for brunch for many years.
Bon brunch, très copieux! Le complet avec pain de maïs, tofu brouillé, tempeh rôti & pomme de terre rôties + salade est suffisant pour deux. La préparation du tempeh est très réussie. Les crêpes sont excellentes aussi.
Service très aimable & efficace.

We had a lovely convocation brunch at Aux Vivres this weekend after traveling from the US. All arrangements were made in advance via email with a helpful, friendly staff. The brunch was excellent - delicious menu, very good service, an attentive staff & great location. Special thanks to Kevin for all the help & support.
Je viens souvent pour les sandwiches, dont je raffole. Le brunch aussi est délicieux. Tous les plats sont copieux. Le local est agréable, bien qu'un peu froid en hiver. Les cadres aux murs sont fascinants. Le café est bon. Un paradis végane.
