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.

🤢😵?💫
I stoped by for a healthy lunch yesterday late afternoon. I had the Dragon bowl, with tempeh. Afterwards I was not feeling too good. I started having nausea in the evening, stomach cramps, & feeling very weak. A few hours later was very sick & ever had a fever. It lasted all night & Im still sick today. I had a full blown food poisoning after eating the Dragon Bowl from Aux Vivres. Lost a whole day of work.

Lovely vegan restaurant with great, healthy options. The portion sizes were really good, & the food was delicious. I got the Mumbai bowl, which was perfectly seasoned.

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.
Great place & quiet for late lunch. I could have eaten here every day of the trip given the variety & brunch everyday till 4pm! Service friendly & efficient. Nice send of meal as I head home 3k miles away

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.
