Everything was awesome! Everything tasted great & the service was super. You need to try their Choco-pomme cake, it was delicious!
It was a quiet night (bring a Tuesday), so Atmosphere was relaxed.☺?
so disgusting. literally inedible. had to throw it all away. what's with all the high reviews? some of the worst food i've ever tasted.
the mekong sandwich was so sweet it was like a dessert. it tasted crazy gross.
i could not eat the buffalo wings either. the sauce wasn't like buffalo sauce but rather a funky cheese yeast sauce. but the worst part was the wing itself. mushy texture & disgusting flavour.
the dragon bowl was a tiny salad & a small block of unseasoned tofu. the sauce, again, was a terrible thick yeast dressing, way too sweet & way too salty.
the berry un-cheesecake has a very high water content for the crust the filling & the compote. like severely incompetent preparation on all fronts. usually with a bad dessert you can find something to salvage.
i enjoy vegan food & this was terrible. made me feel sick.
Food is really good! One of my favorite vegan restaurants, but the prices are just ridiculous. 3$ for an extra potato wedge containing 5 wedge…. 60$ for 2 sandwiches a cookie & an extra potato wedge too expensive for what it is.
Came here for dinner & had the Dragon Bowl, Okonomiyaki Bowl, Bali Bowl, & Le Royal Cheeze. Also had the taquitos & Aux Vivres Mezze & Chapati to start. Taquitos weren't too bad. The Mezze & Chipati dish was much better - the smoked carrot pate was amazing. The Dragon & Okonomiyaki bowls were both a hit. The Bali Bowl was awkward though. The dressing was much too tart & didn't go with the ingredients in the salad. The burger was good too, but the potato wedges were on the soft side (instead of being nice & crispy). Overall a pretty good place for veg meals!

Mauvais service !! & La nourriture n'était pas bonne!!
Les carottes étaient beaucoup trop marinées. Un repas qui devait être chaud était froid!
Je l'ai mentionné à la serveuse, mais elle ne m'a rien proposé.. J'ai demandé une sauce supplémentaire pour camouflé le goût du vinaigre.. ce qu'elle a fait, mais ce n'était pas meilleur..
Le pain au maïs était sec & froid.
Le guacamole contenait beaucoup trop d'ail, & la sauce servie avec le pain au maïs goûtait trop la levure.
La serveuse m'a dit que c'était normal parce qu'il y avait de nouveaux employés en formation…?!
Une autre serveuse est venue me verser de l'eau. Je lui ai dit merci, & j'ai eu droit à un roulement d'yeux…
Notre serveuse n'est pas revenue nous voir pour voir si la sauce c'était mieu... puis nous avions terminé depuis 15 à 20 minutes & personne ne s'occupait de nous..
Je les voyais tous discuter au bar sans porter attention aux clients..
Je me suis finalement levée pour demander la facture, car nous ne trouvions plus notre serveuse. On m'a répondu qu'elle était en pause… Aucun remplaçant n'avait été assigné à notre table ?
On m'a offert un crédit de 2,20 $ pour un repas à 40 $ que je n'ai même pas mangé..
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.
Je recommande fortemen
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!
