About

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.

That falafel with chickpeas, yogurt, & fresh herbs was honestly the highlight of my night after the game. Since I am clearly the best thing you will order all week, a cute guy should go ahead & reach out. You know where to find me.

We are meat eaters but absolutely love this place! We make it a point to come every time we visit Montreal. Get the mango lassi & the deluxe bowl! But everything is delicious. So fresh! Our waitress was wonderful… very friendly & helpful with local recommendations.

After going here for 18 years, I'm finally writing a review. The food is always fresh & outstandingly good & I love that they're always adding new recipes to the menu. It feels odd & disappointing to me that they don't offer cold + hot matcha lattés though. 🍵

The wait staff they've had in the last few months (April, May 2026) are the best I've experienced in 18 years of going there. They're helpful, available & have such sweet dispositions. What a contrast from 2008!!

I noticed a few months ago that they've added a few things to the decor making the vibe more warm, inviting & cozy.

It still remains my ABSOLUTE favourite restaurant! I recommend this place 1000%.

Very healthy & fresh bowl brimming with veg & tofu - was a detox of sorts after some indulgent other meals & desserts on a holiday. Visited on a weekday lunchtime- the terrace out front was too hot for our taste, but inside was cool & plenty of seating.

The waitress was nice, the decor sober, the atmosphere calm & ideal for an intimate dinner... But my deluxe bowl was disappointing. It was mainly fresh salad. The quality was there, but the sauce was not enough to spark up the whole composition. The faux-saumon was just bland grated carrots, the tofu was equally tasteless, the guacamole got lost in the great amont of greens. My faux cheesecake was decent however. Overall too expensive for what it was.

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.
