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.
Tried Aux Vivres Plateau in Montreal & overall it was a solid vegan dining experience.
The food presentation was clean & appealing. The burger (Okonomiyaki-style) had a nice texture & flavor balance, & the potato wedges were well-seasoned & crispy on the outside. The chipotle mayo added a good kick & tied the plate together nicely.
The taquitos were decent-crispy & served with a creamy dipping sauce-but they felt a bit standard compared to the burger, which stood out more.
Portion sizes were fair, & the menu offers good variety for plant-based options. Pricing is on the slightly higher side (~$55 for the meal), but expected for a specialty vegan spot in Montreal.
Service was smooth, & the overall vibe felt casual & welcoming.
Une expérience exceptionnelle chez Aux Vivres sur le Plateau Mont-Royal.
Une cuisine végétalienne savoureuse, équilibrée & pleine de vie. Chaque plat est préparé avec soin & créativité.
L'ambiance est chaleureuse, le service attentionné, & on sent une vraie philosophie derrière chaque détail.
Un endroit où l'on ne fait pas que manger… on vit un moment.

Honestly, the BLT was one of the worst vegan dishes I have ever had at a vegan restaurant. I have been a vegan for 15+ years, & this dish tasted wrong. I do not think enough thought was put into the flavor profile. I also think relying on tempeh as a protein source for most dishes is a mistake. The drinks were good though & the environment & staff were great.
Menu hyper varié, portions généreuses & tout est délicieux!! Mon gros coup de coeur est le sandwich végé lox. Aussi, les employés sont toujours supers gentils & attentionnés. Ma place préférée sur le plateau!
Chaque visite est un vrai plaisir. Les plats sont savoureux, colorés & remplis de fraîcheur. On sent la qualité des ingrédients & le soin apporté à chaque assiette. Même les non-végétaliens sont conquis!
L'ambiance est chaleureuse, le service attentionné & l'expérience toujours constante. Que ce soit pour un brunch, un lunch ou un smoothie, tout est délicieux.
Un incontournable végane à Montréal - je recommande sans hésiter!

🤢😵?💫
I stoped by for a healthy lunch yesterday late afternoon. I had the Dragon bowl, with tempeh. Afterwards I was not feeling too good. I started having nausea in the evening, stomach cramps, & feeling very weak. A few hours later was very sick & ever had a fever. It lasted all night & Im still sick today. I had a full blown food poisoning after eating the Dragon Bowl from Aux Vivres. Lost a whole day of work.
Première fois que je mange à ce resto je connaissais les produits ( que j'adore) . J'ai pris le burger . Tellement délicieux , goûteux juteux , avec une bonne petite salade chou toute simple mais très bonne . Les patates & la sauce chipotle étaient tres bonnes . Je vais y retourner . Les prix restent très raisonnables aussi .
The tempeh was the best I've ever had. The staff were friendly, & all the meals we tried were really delicious. The coffee & tea were excellent as well.
Aux Vivres est une valeur sûre à Montréal pour la cuisine 100 % végane. Les plats sont savoureux, généreux & vraiment bien exécutés, on sent le souci de qualité & la créativité dans chaque assiette. Tout est délicieux & bien équilibré. Le service est chaleureux, attentionné & efficace, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus agréable. Une adresse incontournable pour les végans comme pour ceux qui veulent simplement très bien manger 🌱
