Overall, LOV is celebrated as a must visit for veggie lovers, with many expressing intent to return, though a handful of meals fell short on flavor, value, or execution.
Very good food! All the entrées were amazing & i took the fettucini which was excellent ! Margarita was amazing. Im not vegetarian or vegan & i loved it! Good place to gather especially if someone in a group has dietary restrictions ! They have gluten free options as well.
This is my go to vegan spot, I have been there multiple times & usually its great service, ambiance & food. But this time I had ordered the'calamari' rings, per usual, & after a couple bites something was very off about it, it was undercooked & a weird taste so we had sent it back. When they returned with the plate they quite literally refried the same amount of'calamari' rings we left on the plate we sent in… bruh. Other than that the new'calamari' was still tasting weird, so they must have changed their recipes or something… very unfortunate
Fantasric vibe & absolutely delicious food.
We tried the california bowl, ravioli & sangria LOV & each of the items were one of the best we've had.
Alex & Charlotte were our servers & treated us really well.
Visited this place recently for a bridal shower & it was such a cozy, aesthetic spot for a celebration. The interior is absolutely beautiful, warm, elegant, & perfect for photos & group gatherings, it's a place we were searching for. The food overall was really good, especially the starters, which were full of flavour & definitely the highlight of the meal.
The main dish I ordered wasn't quite the flavor profile I was expecting, which was a little disappointing, but the rest of the experience made up for it. Service was also a bit slow though, but was grateful at the end as they cut & served the cake we brought in for us! So that makes up for the slow service.
Overall, it is a lovely vegetarian restaurant with a great vibe for special occasions & get-togethers! The bride, being a vegetarian, loves it! Everyone enjoyed the experience!
If you are attending a conference, keep in mind that the service is slow. (40 minutes to get served) I did not have a lunch time reservation & was seated at the bar. I basically ordered a veggie burger with sweet potato fries & the avocado/beet tartare. The tartare gets a 5/5. The fries were incorrect & the veggie burger is suspiciously similar to a Beyond Beef burger. The atmosphere & presentation are good & it was crowded. I guess I am not following the crowd. Low value for me.
Very chill & cute plant based restaurant. We went there in a weeknight so it was quite calm. The service is super kind & the food is good & presented in a very cute way. Mocktails are also delicious & cocktails are quite generous on the alchool content.

Très bel endroit & chaleureux comme ambiance. Le brunch était de qualité tant à la nourriture & présentation qu'au service. La première fois mais certainement pas la dernière.
What a lovely experience - fantastic meal with creativity & flavour abound!! This is also coming from a non-vegan!
The space gives a warm vibe without being tight & cramped. I enjoyed an incredible mocktail (Blackberry Pearl) & the'calamari' is a *must*
Will be back on our next trip to Montreal!
This restaurant is a great spot with plenty of vegetarian & vegan options. The food is full of flavor & genuinely delicious, & coming from someone who is not vegetarian or vegan, I really loved it. There are so many great choices on the menu.
They also have a wide drink selection, from cocktails & mocktails to smoothies, all highly recommended. The atmosphere is calm & cozy, perfect for an afternoon with friends, a date, or even a book club meetup. Definitely a place worth coming back to.
Très belle ambiance, beau décor, staff sympathique.
C'est un peu dispendieux, mais les saveurs sont à l'honneur. Les quantités sont modestes, mais après une poutine (petite pour le prix), un burger Luv délicieux (les burgers sont sans accompagnements donc c'est intéressant de combiner avec une entrée ou un snack) & un dessert (gâteau aux bananes délicieux & pana cota parfaite) j'étais bien remplie, pas sur-remplie. :)
