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.
The bowls are very delicious. Both the Thai bowl & Japanese inspired ones were great. I love the tempeh & tofu, but neither are super flavourful.
The bowls are huge & packed with so many different veggies. They feel very nourishing lol. The bowls are a great gluten free option.
It's not very fast. We waited over 20 minutes to order & another 20 for food.
I also wish the BLT had some form of protein instead of coconut to replace the bacon.
Venu dîner sur place, en n'étant pas un vegan exclusif. Bol Mumbai & gâteau aux épices, lassi à la mangue. Des plats goûteux, épicés sans excès. Service attentionné, souriant & disponible, merci ! Bonne playlist très 80'. Seul bémol, grande salle qui manque un peu de chaleur.
Love this place
Only downside was the drink was so small compared to what it used to be in 2016 ( i was traveling the world ) so like returning to that was like wait what happeeeenedddddd to the elixir tonic drink
I'm not really into vegan food but it was good. Friendly staff. That wrap would of been absolutely perfect if it had a little crunch! Worth checking out.
Unfortunately overrated & overpriced. As the first vegan spot in MTL, they did not set the bar high. I took the asian bowl which tasted mid & mainly consisted of lettuce & a bunch of veggies that you could easily do at home yourself. Drinks were okay. You could find way better vegan/veggie options in the South Shore. 5/10
Le service offert par Charles est simplement parfait, courtois, chaleureux & bienveillant. La cuisine est excellente, surprenante & originale & ouvre des horizons culinaires pour les non-vegans aussi.
