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.
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!
Je suis retourné cette semaine pour le superbe Brunch offert maintenant tous les jours de la semaine. Ça vaut le détour!
Great place for a vegan meal.
Chaque fois qu'on revient, on est heureux de retrouver une bouffe végane réconfort: savoureuse, portion copieuse & visuellement plaisante.

SO SAD ! First, it was the Tom YUm soup that they stop doing. Now, they took the Malai Kofta out of the Starters. For double the price instead, you can have it in a plate with brown rice, chick peas & potatoes (& salad). So yes, you can still have it, but with bunch of cheap starch for double the price instead.
I get it the economy is crap for everyone, but I wish they kept the Malai kofta in the starters. Even if a dollar or two higher.
It was so perfect with a chapati & a sandwich to share.
Honestly, I'm at the point where I might just go explore new restaurants instead of just coming here by default because it was good . It's so disappointing !
A classic! Aux Vivres is the original vegan restaurant in Montréal. Great patio, lots of indoor seating. The wraps on homemade roti are huge! (& delicious)
Very healthy & fresh bowl brimming with veg & tofu - was a detox of sorts after some indulgent other meals & desserts on a holiday. Visited on a weekday lunchtime- the terrace out front was too hot for our taste, but inside was cool & plenty of seating.
Pour vrai, ce restaurent a changé ma vie. C'est juste dommage que le service y soit difficile! C'est toujours plutôt long (parce qu'il y a beaucoup de monde!) Pour sauver du temps, je fais préparer ma commande d'avance, mais la dernière fois en 30 minutes je n'ai jamais réussi à parler avec quelqu'un, on ne mettait en attente !
Mais la bouffe est super bonne! Le bol dragon c'est la vie!

Montreal's first vegan restaurant! We were happy with the food & cookies, & the service was excellent. The waiter (tall guy with dark hair) was very attentive, kind, friendly & welcoming. It was a great way to spend our last day in Montreal.
