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.
Une expérience exceptionnelle chez Aux Vivres sur le Plateau Mont-Royal.
Une cuisine végétalienne savoureuse, équilibrée & pleine de vie. Chaque plat est préparé avec soin & créativité.
L'ambiance est chaleureuse, le service attentionné, & on sent une vraie philosophie derrière chaque détail.
Un endroit où l'on ne fait pas que manger… on vit un moment.

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!

One of the original vegan spots in Montreal. Great dishes they've made classics. Highly recommend the BLT & Dragon bowl. I do miss the old days when it was a little more low key & cheaper relative to other options, but still definitely worth a visit. I've gone with omnivores who've loved it as well.
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.
Amazing plant-based food (the chocobanana tart, omg) at incredibly affordable prices, great music, & lovely service. Will come back & absolutely recommend it!

Des plats tout simplement délicieux ! Nous nous sommes régalées ! Merci également pour le service irréprochable ! Je recommande vivement ce restaurant très original avec un choix de plats variés.
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!
La nourriture est très bonne, restaurant à découvrir. Il y a énormément de choix, & assurément des agencements de goût qui surprennent. Le prix est plus que raisonnable pour la quantité. Je le recommande!
My family & I have enjoyed Aux Vivres for more than a decade now, it is the first vegan restaurant I had ever tried as a child, & it's still the only one that I would highly recommend to anyone, without hesitation. As someone that comes from a carnivorous family, vegan food was (& still is) not our first choice for dining, but my whole family wholeheartedly enjoys Aux Vivres. The food is delicious, the portions are huge & you will leave satisfied, without even remembering that everything you ate was vegan. Their food has also stayed constantly excellent, & if anything they are improving with time (if you're a foodie then you can understand how rare a feat that is). So, if you visit, know that you won't regret it! Also, make sure to try their dragon sauce, it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for those who enjoy sauces with their food, their dragon sauce is so good I could practically drink it!
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 ).

Très bon resto vegan, comme partout c'est plus cher qu'avant, mais très agréable comme endroit. Personnel courtois & très bon service. Je le recommande
A fantastic meal had by all. The dragon bowl is a favourite of mine & the dragon dressing is so delicious. So much so I continue to buy bottles of it to take home — highly recommend.
