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 food was excellent! We had the corn bread with dahl soup & then carrot cake & coffee for dessert. Portions were generous & I was even able to take some home. The service was friendly, helpful & speedy. The atmosphere was pleasant with soft, non-intrusive music playing in the background. Definitely a great experience & one I wish to repeat soon!
Bonjour !
Ça fait depuis des années que je vais chez aux vivres & il y a un point qui a changé beaucoup & que je n'ai pas aimé les 2 dernières fois que j'ai été. Les serveuses maintenant sont habillés n'importe comment , je pense que les restos doivent garder un code vestimentaire comme habituellement on voit(pantalon & t-shirt noir ) , l'avant dernière fois la serveuse êtait habillé style gothique & la dernière fois que j'ai été la serveuse avait un pantalon noir & un chandail qu'on voyait son ventre. Je ne sais pas , je pense que les serveuses doivent garder un code vestimentaire un peu plus classique .
Je prends toujours un bol dragon ! Toujours aussi bon :-)
Ça fait plus de 26 ans que je vais dans ce restaurant, & il reste fidèle à lui-même. Les classiques du menu sont toujours offerts & la qualité persiste. Évidemment, les prix ont augmenté... mais ça reste un bon rapport qualité/prix.

One of the original vegan spots in Montreal. Great dishes they've made classics. Highly recommend the BLT & Dragon bowl. I do miss the old days when it was a little more low key & cheaper relative to other options, but still definitely worth a visit. I've gone with omnivores who've loved it as well.
The waitress was nice, the decor sober, the atmosphere calm & ideal for an intimate dinner... But my deluxe bowl was disappointing. It was mainly fresh salad. The quality was there, but the sauce was not enough to spark up the whole composition. The faux-saumon was just bland grated carrots, the tofu was equally tasteless, the guacamole got lost in the great amont of greens. My faux cheesecake was decent however. Overall too expensive for what it was.
