Overall Bol de Vie is viewed as a go to for healthy, tasty meals with broad options including sandwiches and different bowls, and as a friendly, health minded spot. Reviews praise fresh, healthy bowls, generous portions, and a variety of vegan options, with service described as friendly and attentive and the dining environment as welcoming. The poke and vegan bowls are highlighted as flavorful and satisfying, and staff are noted for accommodating substitutions when items are out of stock, sometimes delivering a delicious alternative. The quality is described as consistently fresh across visits, and the value for price earns positive mentions. A common note of critique involves changes to a beloved bowl, where cucumber, tomato and corn were replaced with mushrooms and beets, leaving some customers confused or disappointed and hoping for the old combination to return. There are also remarks about marketing imagery feeling stereotypical or offensive to some, suggesting a rethink of visuals.
This place used to be my favourite treat. The vegan bol with the hoisin tofu was so good!!
I don't understand how or why this happened, but they decided to get rid of the cucumber, tomato, & corn, & replaced it with mushrooms & beets… the whole flavour profile is off now. It's very confusing to me. Pretty much all they've had is positive reviews on this bowl, specifically stating how delicious & perfect it was! Why change it?? Are times hard, did ingredients get too expensive? Is this an attempt to make it healthier? What's going on?
I'm being very brave but please note I want to cry about it! This was my favourite meal I've had in this city! 😭😭
If this is an attempt at health, please put it back. Or at least provide another option. I can't be the only one who misses the old bol!
My first visit to Bol de Vie - such a great find! The poke bowl was fresh, healthy, & full of flavor. Portions were generous & everything tasted super fresh. Perfect spot for a quick, nutritious meal while exploring the city!

Tried Bol de Vie for a salmon poke bowl. I really appreciated that they replaced the falafel (which they were out of) with extra avocado. That said, falafel feels like an unusual topping for a poke bowl. There were also strawberries included, which didn't quite blend with the other flavours for me.
As constructive feedback, they have a very diverse menu (sandwiches, smoothie bowls, burrito bowls, etc.) which I didn't get a chance to try, but I'd say poke might not be their strongest offering. I'd be open to going back to explore the rest of their menu!
Juste « WOW! » Première visite ici. J'ai pris le bol à la pieuvre grillée. Ingrédients frais, santés & délicieusement apprêtés! Je serai de retour c'est certain!! Une mention spéciale pour le service très chaleureux :) À bientôt!!
Chez Bol de Vie c'est vraiment la vraie vie! Quand j'ai le goût de manger dehors c'est là que j'aime m'attabler. Dehors ou à leur terrasse c'est parfait! L'accueil est au rendez-vous surtout avec la vraie perle « Jawhara » qui veut dire perle avec son sourire chaleureux!
La nourriture y est excellente! J'ai pris un bol burrito & je me suis régalé. Les portions sont bonnes & les ingrédients frais. Rien à dire contre le service & l'endroit est très propre. Super concept j'y retournerai
J'ai toujours le meilleur service au Bol de vie. Ils sont toujours très à l'écoute de mes besoins. Sans mentionner que les bols burritos sont excellent! J'ai fait goûter à ma famille & mes amies & tout le monde adore. Ana à été très sympathique comme d'habitude & très à l'écoute par rapport à mes demandes. Lorsque que je suis arrivée pour ma commande, je me suis sentie servie par Ana & Karim par beaucoup de politesse de façon chaleureuse. J'ai quittée très satisfaite & Karim à couru dans la rue pour me donner les extra sauces dont j'avais demandée à Anna. Cela est du service incroyable & rare de nos jours. Je recommande à tous 🙏

Excellent service ! J'ai commandé des bols burritos pour 8 personnes dont un modifié pour qu'il soit sans gluten (Celiac friendly). Les personnes au comptoir sont souriantes & professionnelles. J'ai commandé à l'avance, ils sont à l'heure, alors je recommande fortement pour des repas de conférence ou de réunions. Les plats sont délicieux. 😊
