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 superbe expérience du début à la fin. Le personnel est attentionné, les saveurs sont au rendez-vous & on sent que tout est fait avec passion. Je reviendrai sans aucun doute !
Très belle découverte. Smoothie onctueux & savoureux. Fraîcheur dans les fruits. J'ai pris le sandwich végé pâté. Rien a voir avec ceux de supermarché ( même s'ils sont bon). On sent le travail du fait maison. Pleins de saveurs & un peu croquant même parfois ( 👍). A essayé même si vous êtes pas végétarien, comme moi, c'est sans importance.
J'adore cet endroit mais faites attention pour les alergies alimentaires. Avisez & répéter pour être certains & ne vous fiez pas seulement aux ingrédients sur le menu.
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

The original vegan restaurant in Montreal, Aux Vivres is great restaurant along the atmospheric Saint Laurent Blvd. They have a fair sized indoor seating area. You can do take-away orders as well. Opening hours are 11am to 10pm daily.
We ate here during a recent visit to Montreal while exploring the Mile End & Little Portugal areas of the city. The Deluxe & Mumbai bowls ordered on the day were great. Both were generous portions, presentable. Ingredient combinations sensible, dishes executed very well in the kitchen & importantly tasted delicious. Really enjoyed everything about our meal at Aux Vivres & would gladly eat here again in the future.
C'était la première fois que j'essayais ce restaurent. J'ai été agréablement surprise de voir la variété de nourriture sur le menu.
Je vais y retourner sans doute!
Ça vaut la peine d'y essayer.
Place propre, personnel sympathique & bon service.
Menu complet mais manque un peu d'originalité. Tofu ou tempeh dans presque tout leur plat.
Le BLT & merveilleux.
I've been coming here for years, & yesterday was the first time I came in with my 3 year old & 12 month old to eat. We were greeted & served by Linda. The service was friendly & accommodating. What we ordered came out fast & everyone enjoyed their food. I will definitely come back & a special thank you to Linda for making us feel right at home!
