This was cute. They had an outdoor seating area. The takeout staff menu was looking at us confused. I order the Mumbai plate & it was delicious. My younger siblings however ordered the two dishes that used tempeh. Both lacked flavor. I've been vegan for the past six years & it is always sad when someone has a bad experience. Tempeh is a wonderful protein to work with & when cooked correctly it absorbs flavors & taste great. To me it's lazy if you can't make your tofu or tempeh tastes good. I would not return.

Lots of options for your vegan friends.

I dream that vegan restaurants would post the macros (estimated fiber, protein & carbs) for each of the dishes especially since they also sell their bowls at the grocery stores.

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.

The original vegan restaurant in Montreal, Aux Vivres is great restaurant along the atmospheric Saint Laurent Blvd. They have a fair sized indoor seating area. You can do take-away orders as well. Opening hours are 11am to 10pm daily.

We ate here during a recent visit to Montreal while exploring the Mile End & Little Portugal areas of the city. The Deluxe & Mumbai bowls ordered on the day were great. Both were generous portions, presentable. Ingredient combinations sensible, dishes executed very well in the kitchen & importantly tasted delicious. Really enjoyed everything about our meal at Aux Vivres & would gladly eat here again in the future.

Good vegan food, nice staff & nice atmosphere. They should offer better rice, though, since most of their dishes include it.

My girlfriend & I are always looking for the best places to eat vegan food & this place did not disappoint!
All three dishes were delicious & the portion sizes were HUGE!
Lacked a bit of flavour but overall I had a great meal.
Also shout out to our amazing server.

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.

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.

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!

Excellent vegan restaurant: great tasting & fresh food. Kids friendly. A good choice of various creative vegan dishes, not just salads, great selection of vegan desserts & drinks. Very attentive service, good location. Will definitely come back again.
