Aux Vivres establishes a definitive standard for plant-based nutrition by transforming simple vegetables and legumes into substantial, flavor-forward meals. The menu prioritizes whole-food ingredients, featuring signature rice bowls topped with house-made dressings and seasoned proteins that emphasize nutritional density over processed alternatives. Beyond the classic grain-based bowls, the kitchen produces a diverse selection of tempeh, seitan, and coconut-based desserts that cater to a strictly vegan philosophy. Every preparation focuses on balancing macro-nutrients through the use of fresh produce, sprouted grains, and nutrient-rich seeds. The environment remains intentionally functional, highlighting the raw quality of the ingredients rather than decorative flourishes. This establishment serves as a primary hub for those seeking exclusively plant-derived sustenance that avoids refined sugars and artificial additives, maintaining a commitment to clean, high-performance cooking techniques for everyday nourishment.
Aux Vivres is widely recognized as a staple in Montreal for flavorful, healthy, and generous vegan meals that appeal to both plant-based diners and meat eaters alike. Many visitors praise the diverse menu, highlighting popular items like the bowls, the mango lassi, and the BLT, while noting that the portions are consistently large and satisfying. The restaurant is frequently commended for its warm, cozy atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff who contribute to a welcoming dining experience. While the majority of reviews are highly positive, some diners mention inconsistency regarding the seasoning of certain dishes, concerns about pricing, or occasional lapses in service speed and communication. Overall, it remains a beloved institution for those seeking high-quality, plant-based cuisine in a comfortable setting.
Came here for dinner & had the Dragon Bowl, Okonomiyaki Bowl, Bali Bowl, & Le Royal Cheeze. Also had the taquitos & Aux Vivres Mezze & Chapati to start. Taquitos weren't too bad. The Mezze & Chipati dish was much better - the smoked carrot pate was amazing. The Dragon & Okonomiyaki bowls were both a hit. The Bali Bowl was awkward though. The dressing was much too tart & didn't go with the ingredients in the salad. The burger was good too, but the potato wedges were on the soft side (instead of being nice & crispy). Overall a pretty good place for veg meals!
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
