Le décor, le service & les mets: tout est charmant & raffiné. & les prix sont raisonnables. Pour le brunch, si vous avez la dent sucrée, je vous recommande particulièrement le pain perdu.

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.

LOV is a must if you are in town. Very few gems like this in the area. We went for dinner & then brunch the next day. Menu is amazing, drinks card perfect, service on point & the ambiance is so cozy. Very attentive to food sensitivities. We need more plant based awareness. We need more delicious LOV!

Tbh, it used to be very average & now its straight up bad. Went for brunch after mot going for +1 year & i do not want to go back ever. The food is not good & overpriced, service slow but nice. The only thing it has going is the decor & location.

As a vegan, this was my favorite spot to eat during my stays in Montreal. The staff was always incredibly warm & welcoming & the food always amazing. I've had cauliflower from all over but this cauliflower was easily the best I've ever had, just such flavorful, melt in your mouth goodness. & the tofu benedict at brunch was so good I had it three times. I've also really enjoyed the green goddess salad & coconut curry. My last night in town I was so torn on which of my favorites to order for my last meal & they just so happened to doing a special restaurant week menu where I was able to order the green goddess, cauliflower, curry, & a brownie for dessert, it truly made for the perfect goodbye. I will miss this place & highly recommend it to anyone!

A beautiful space with engaging staff with top shelf vegan fare. We came for brunch & had the tofu Benedict & mushroom crostini. Both were amazing. The tofu Benedict was filling with two pieces of the main plated with seasoned potatoes & a very fresh salad. We are in Montreal for a few days & will definitely be back!
