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.
An amazing vegan restaurant. Not only the flavor but the presentation of the dishes are great. I tried a burger & a smoothie - I recommend them both! They tasted so fresh, flavorful & they came in copious portions. (Adding avocado to the burger would be just perfect.) This is definitely the place to go & discover that vegan & vegetarian food is delicious.
Amazing plant-based food (the chocobanana tart, omg) at incredibly affordable prices, great music, & lovely service. Will come back & absolutely recommend it!
Came in Saturday night with a group of 7 other guys where I was the only vegan. Food was fantastic & they all thought so as well, which I struggle with omnivores. The server was absolutely amazing, but I can't remember what her name was. Will definitely come back when I am in Montreal again!
This place 100% used to be an old Asian restaurant I'm betting Vietnamese like you can just tell based on the layout like I can just imagine a 12 year old doing math homework behind the counter taking my order & about to bring me the best pho I've ever had in my life. It feels almost like a liminal space & I'm not mad about it. Coconut bacon is something I never thought I'd enjoy but they managed to do it. Portion sizes are huge which is hard to come by in canada
Des plats tout simplement délicieux ! Nous nous sommes régalées ! Merci également pour le service irréprochable ! Je recommande vivement ce restaurant très original avec un choix de plats variés.

AVP boasts to be the first vegan restaurant in Montreal & they look to have really expanded across the city. I was excited to check out their Pan-Asian menu & see what the hype was all about. Upon entering, I noticed that they had a few of their pre-made signature bowls for takeout at a fraction of the cost. Seizing the opportunity, I purchased their Bali Bowl which includes marinated tempeh with greens in a ginger dressing. I was happy with my salad bowl as it really hit the spot after consuming a lot of non-veggies during this trip. So while I didn't get to dine in this time around, the bowl did everything for me & I was able to continue my day sight seeing & full.
For someone who isn't able to eat spicy poly Indian food, I really love this place! So flavourful! The staff here were all so great & even helped us figure out where to go sightseeing. Kelly was our server & she went above & beyond to help our mostly non vegan group try several dishes. She was lovely!
