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.
Tried Aux Vivres Plateau in Montreal & overall it was a solid vegan dining experience.
The food presentation was clean & appealing. The burger (Okonomiyaki-style) had a nice texture & flavor balance, & the potato wedges were well-seasoned & crispy on the outside. The chipotle mayo added a good kick & tied the plate together nicely.
The taquitos were decent-crispy & served with a creamy dipping sauce-but they felt a bit standard compared to the burger, which stood out more.
Portion sizes were fair, & the menu offers good variety for plant-based options. Pricing is on the slightly higher side (~$55 for the meal), but expected for a specialty vegan spot in Montreal.
Service was smooth, & the overall vibe felt casual & welcoming.
Première fois que je mange à ce resto je connaissais les produits ( que j'adore) . J'ai pris le burger . Tellement délicieux , goûteux juteux , avec une bonne petite salade chou toute simple mais très bonne . Les patates & la sauce chipotle étaient tres bonnes . Je vais y retourner . Les prix restent très raisonnables aussi .

An amazing vegan restaurant. Not only the flavor but the presentation of the dishes are great. I tried a burger & a smoothie - I recommend them both! They tasted so fresh, flavorful & they came in copious portions. (Adding avocado to the burger would be just perfect.) This is definitely the place to go & discover that vegan & vegetarian food is delicious.
Une valeur sûre! Toujours bon, frais & original, je ne suis jamais déçue de venir manger chez Aux Vivres. Le bols sont des incontournables, vous devez les tester, j'ai récemment goûter leurs burgers, incroyable! En plus, le service est toujours très agréable, je ne peux que recommander!
Service was outstanding & they did a great job. I've experienced more creative & interesting vegan food options & it's sad that some vegan cooks seem to default to burgers & sandwiches. We should have chosen one of the bowls as this might have been the more interesting option! However, food quality was good, just lacked creativity.
Loved the entrée Chana Dal. Very tasty & the bread was so soft. 2 people can eat it & would be too much for 1 person. Tried the Aux Vivres burger & it was so light & good.

J'ai passé 10 jours à Montréal & dans la province du Québec & c'est le meilleur repas que j'ai pu déguster au long de mon séjour ( ça change des burgers, bagels & autres poulets frit ).
Je recommande
Amazing service & deelish food. We were shown to a comfortable booth, everyting is super clean. I was with a friend who is discovering vegetarian cuisine & he had never tried Aux vivres - he loved the Mezze platter, especially the faux butter naan, the faux cretons & tzaziki & the chili, as well as the carrot cake. The mushroom burger was crispy & tasty, & the ginger cookie amazing. We loved the beer & seltzer drinks.
The waiters are always nice & super friendly & competent (& stylish). One of my fave restaus in the neighbourhood.
This is one of the gems you need to visit if you are looking for a vegan restaurant in town! Even if you are not vegan, you will love it! The menu offers a variety of dishes that range from healthy to very comfy foods! The service was great & the ambiance perfect for a meeting with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. The food is phenomenal & full of flavour! We ordered the dragon bowl, tempeh burger & the breakfast burrito! All of us enjoyed our meals very much!

Accueil chaleureux. Bon service. Déçus de la fraîcheur & de la présentation des plats. Ne mérite pas une photo dans instagram. Les brochettes de tempeh sont bonnes. Le Burger Aux Vivres ok mais les accompagnements (patates molles..on dirait du réchauffé, salade de chou en bouillie). Bol okono ok. On y retournera pas... on passera plutôt par la boutique qui vend les ingrédients du menu & on se fera la bouffe chez nous.
Plesantly surprised! We tried a variety of things. I have the Latke Burger. It was okay, not the best, everything was falling out & slightly bland. My boyfriend had the Dragon sandwich/wrap which was amazing & HUGE! We were worried it would be small & not filling but wow... He eats alot & half was already enough. All the sauces were amazing & tasty you wouldn't even know they're vegan. I loved the tempeh, especially since I hate tofu.
Good food! Had the aux vivres burger! 👌 The waitress was amazing! This girl had a smile that can brighten your day!!! Great personality! Very kind also. In fact all the staff were really nice but special mention for the girl with the pink hair!
Il n'y avait pas assez de légumes, autres que les frites, avec le burger aux vivres. Le sevice était un peu trop lent le buger est très bon, mais attention il est un peu épicé.

J'ai essayé un burger de tofu & j'ai été très décue. Ca n'avait pas de gout. Par contre le gateau au faux-mage est excellent. Il y a peu d'espace, c'est toujours bondé de gens, c'est bruyant, peu confortable & le service est ordinaire. Je n'ai pas aimé l'expérience.
