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.
Je suis présentement à l'université & j'étais affamée. Je me suis dirigée à la cafétéria & je m'attendais pas à trouver des aliments vegetaliens. À ma grande surprise je vois ce sandwich wrap déjeuner. Absolument délicieux. Vous n'avez pas l'idée de la sensation & l'émotion d'inclusion alimentaire qu'un vegan peut avoir quand on trouve des options savoureuses & cruelty free. You made my day!! Une visite à votre resto se fait obligatoire. Merci!!!!
Est-ce que le bok choy devrait-il être mou-blanchi dans le bol asiatique? Pas sur! Un peu dégueux. Si seulement c'était le vrai plat commandé...😳 Mais le 🎂 à la citrouille 🎃 vraiment excellent. Un dîner d'éclipse après 2 hrs de route quand même dévorer. Je suis reparti avec full plat congelé & un bol en récompense de l'erreur. Merciiiii 🤗

Toujours excellent Nous y sommes allés pour le souper d anniversaire de mon conjoint Tout le monde a adoré la nourriture & le serveur était tellement sympathique, il a offert un gâteau de fête gratuit Merci Soirée extraordinaire
As an omnivore , I appreciate having really great vegan options sometimes. I've had take out & eaten in the restaurant. Eating in house has really deteriorated & the service was friendly enough but super slow. This was always my healthy takeout option but not feeling inspired after the last visit which left me with a horrible stomach ache (please note other recent reviews of people noting stomach issues). It's not really nice to be picking out brown lettuce from food. Hoping it was just a fluke but after getting stomach aches my past 2 times eating here, it feels like more of a pattern.
Always love wraps at Aux Vivres, they are sooo big ! I most often pick up my order directly but order through Uber Eats. My favourite smoothie is the creamsicle one:) cashier was really nice & sweet yesterday, love this healthy vegan restaurant

Un restaurant où je peux manger tout ce qu'il y a sur le menu, c'est comme un rêve! Les plats ici sont tous délicieux & savoureux! Le service est très amical & chaleureux. Merci & à bientôt!
Clean establishment, friendly service, the kitchen is fast & efficient. The food is superb, my Thai bowl was fresh, flavourful, & has been a repeat favourite of mine. The carrot cake is a must try for anyone a fan of sweets.

Very fresh, amazing flavours! I am pleasantly surprised. Très frais & absolument délicieux! La meilleure nourriture de restaurant que j'ai jamais mangé!
I was VERY dissapointed to receive two LOX sandwiches half the size of what I usually receive (ordered on Uber eats). I order often from Aux Vivres because it's so good & the portion are usually generous. I already noticed they put the price up which I understand but now the portions are half the size & they are more expensive. Not gonna order from there anymore if it's always gonna be like this from now on.
Overall tasteful. I love the meals that I tasted so far & I particularly enjoyed their BLT (even if a bit sweeter than standard vegan blt) yet delicious! however, you must be very careful regarding the quality of the ingredients that they cook with which is sadly mostly unhealthy (a lot of processed ingredients, canola oil, high refined sugar, etc.) Many options get very low/ alarming rating on health scan apps.
My favorite restaurant in Montreal. I've been going for years, & will continue going for years to come. When I run out of dragon sauce at home, it's a total panic!! After the re-up, peace returns..
