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.

Bon brunch, très copieux! Le complet avec pain de maïs, tofu brouillé, tempeh rôti & pomme de terre rôties + salade est suffisant pour deux. La préparation du tempeh est très réussie. Les crêpes sont excellentes aussi.
Service très aimable & efficace.
Ma copine & moi avons beaucoup aimé notre 1re expérience au restaurant végane Aux Vivres. Le Buddha Bowl avec tempeh était délicieux & j'aimerais bien avoir la recette de la sauce. Par contre, il faisait très froid dans le resto.
I cannot stresss how impeccable the quality of the food was. It was the perfect balance between comfort food & healthy eating. Furthermore, the prices make the whole thing feel like we are getting way more value than we are paying for.
Just excellent.

Excellent food, excellent service. Always. As a vegan, I am very happy to be able to come to places that sustain good human values.
I will continue to come here & bring friends (especially non vegan ones) for a good lesson in good, healthy, empathetic food.
My favorite restaurant! I haven't been for years & it is still the same quality. Very tasty, healthy, & beautiful meals.
Try the sandwich Lox & the Bol du Dragon: my forever favorites. Miam! I would go back today if I didn't live that far ;)
Impeccable service.

J'étais très excitée d'aller Aux Vivres pour la première fois, mais j'ai été très déçue. Nous avions pris les tacos, les mezzes & le sandwich du dragon. Les mezzes étaient bons (sans plus), la sauce à tacos était délicieuse, mais j'ai été incapable de manger le taco & le sandwich que je n'ai pas du tout aimés.
L'ambiance du restaurant n'est pas du tout chaleureuse. Que ce soit le décor qui a besoin d'un peu d'amour, ou l'éclairage.
Je n'y retournerai malheureusement pas.
Waitstaff was super nice but the food was only okay & the wait for food was LONG, even with a fairly empty restaurant. Probably wouldn't go back unfortunately.
