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 is widely praised as an enduring vegan staple in Montreal, offering a broad menu with generous portions, colorful bowls, burgers, wraps and brunch options that showcase fresh ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Reviewers repeatedly note friendly, attentive service and a cozy, welcoming vibe, with many appreciating the variety for plant-based eaters and even non-vegans. The quality and creativity of dishes are highlighted, and the restaurant is described as reliable over the years, with standout bowls and sandwiches. Some comments mention higher prices for a specialty vegan spot and occasional delays during busy times, while one review reports a negative experience with a Dragon Bowl that caused illness. Overall, the place is seen as a dependable go-to for comforting, healthy vegan meals, a long-standing Montreal institution, with a lively yet relaxed environment that supports dine-in or takeaway.
Excellente table à prix ridiculement modique si l'on considère l'extrême fraîcheur des aliments servis. Les saveurs sont subtiles, raffinées & font oublier aux carnivores les plus entêtés qu'ils sont dans un restaurant végétalien! Un incontournable à ess
Nice place, nice waiters, but the food was average. Considering I had read many good reviews about this place, I was pretty disappointed.
I ordered an entree, a main course, & the dessert. The entree was a very average salad. The main course was a tofu
Toujours un plaisir d'aller manger chez Aux Vivres! Bonne bouffe & super service! J'y ai organisé mon souper d'anniversaire cette année & je ne regrette pas mon choix.
Aux vivres est un incontournable à montreal pour toutes celles & ceux qui apprécient la cuisine vegan ou qui veulent tester pour la première fois. Le bol dragon & sa sauce valent le détour ainsi que tous leurs desserts notamment sans gluten. Le restaurant est grand, le service dynamique. Belle petite terrasse a l'arrière. & épicerie juste à côté pour du "à emporter".
Waited a good 45 minutes to be seated (granted it was Friday evening), while 1 couple after another were seated during this time before our party of 5. The servers did not combine tables together until we had pointed that possibility out. Who knows how long we would have waited had we kept our silence.
The food tastes ok (the hot dishes). Nothing special if you're familiar with arabic/asian vegetarian dishes.
One of my favorite vegetarian/vegan restos. Eat here often & love that they opened a take out section. Great for freezing lunches & suppers when i dont have time. This resto is very hipster & has a fun atmosphere. Definitely the most famous veg resto in MTL. I absolutely love aux vivre!

We are regulars at Aux Vivres & eat there atleast once a week & also take outs.The food is always fresh, healthy, & delicious..being vegan I am happy to have such a great vegan restaurant where I can order whatever I want on the menu & not have to worry about always asking if there are nonvegan ingredients cause when you eat at a restaurant that is not vegan even if they do "accommodate" you sometimes there are ingredients they don't know or really care & they don't really like vegans..so I much prefer to go to Aux Vivres & support a vegan restaurant.
We've been a couple of times & they did not disappoint.
Food is flavourful & colorful (we describe it as a party in our mouths) & the service is friendly & attentive.
Even our 2-year-old son keeps stealing food from our plates!
It's on our ''go-to'' list.
We love it!
Le sandwich Mekong sur pain chapati est l'un de mes sandwich préférés à Montréal. Le BLT n'est pas mal non plus. Plusieurs plats fades, endroit bruyant. J'opte pour manger au bar.
Accueil très sympathique, service rapide & professionnel, portions définitivement généreuses. Choix intéressant de plats. Mon coup de coeur va au sandwich Sirocco! Terrasse en arrière sans doute très agréable lorsqu'il ne fait pas trop chaud dehors (verrière).
Bravo Aux Vivres!
