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.

My favorite restaurant in Montreal. I've been going for years, & will continue going for years to come. When I run out of dragon sauce at home, it's a total panic!! After the re-up, peace returns..

A very vast menu of delicious vegan meals, bols, wraps, smoothies & desserts! We loved everything we had. Very nice freindly, helpful service too. For either eating in or take out it always hits the spot.

The food & service was great. We came with a friend who used a walker. Was surprised there wasn't a ramp at the entrance.

La lumière est très forte. La tamisée aiderait à créer une certaine intimité.

Excellent vegan restaurant: great tasting & fresh food. Kids friendly. A good choice of various creative vegan dishes, not just salads, great selection of vegan desserts & drinks. Very attentive service, good location. Will definitely come back again.

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!
