Review Summary

LOV is widely regarded as a standout plant-based spot in downtown Montreal, praised for its cozy, stylish ambiance and attentive service. The menu is celebrated for creative vegan and vegetarian dishes, colorful bowls, dumplings, arancini, and a varied drinks list that includes flavorful mocktails. Many reviewers highlight breakfast and brunch options like the energy bowl and tofu Benedict, though a few note that some dishes can be hit or miss and portions or prices can feel steep. The dining room is described as photo-friendly and upscale yet comfortable, making it a popular choice for dates and celebrations. Dietary accommodations, including gluten-free options, are frequently appreciated. There are some criticisms about slow service, inconsistent pacing, or dishes arriving tepid or under-seasoned, and a few mentions of value concerns or menu changes. Overall, LOV is seen as a strong pick for vegetarians, vegans, and curious diners seeking inventive plant-based cuisine, with notable flavors and presentation but with occasional service fluctuations.

Super nice restaurant for brunch or breakfast! They serve very tasty sweet &/or salty dishes (plus they have vegan & gluten-free options). The beverages are also good & have lactose-free options. Service is good & quick. Definitely coming back!

Had vegan brunch at Lov. The decor is super zen & very welcoming. Had the tofu benny which was delish. Portions were very generous. Service was excellent. Highly recommend!

I recently went to LOV with my family for brunch & unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations. While the food was decent, it was overpriced for what was offered. The ambiance was satisfactory, with well-decorated surroundings, but the standout issue was the unwelcoming attitude displayed by the hostess. Their demeanor was off-putting, which significantly detracted from the Overall experience. The lack of hospitality left us feeling unwelcome & unwilling to return.

Brunch: honestly I was disappointed in the taste of things. Everything was pretty bland. But the place is cute & the service is very good.

Boho brunch vibes in a classy, instagram worthy restaurant at LOV. LOV has been on my list for many years & I finally got a chance to go! It definitely lived up to its hype, the quality of the vegan food is amazing. Everything tasted super fresh & delicious. We ordered the chick n waffle (fried oyster mushroom) which was so good you aren't going to miss chicken (we aren't vegan ! ). The tofu Benedict was a favourite for the family, it surprised us & was delicious. The granola bowl is a great option should you not be in the mood for a heavy savoury breakfast either. The golden milk is a warm, cozy, & immune boosting drink that'll be great on a cold winter & fall morning! The mango tango is a good smoothie , that's not too sweet. Thank you for the kind lady for serving my family & I. Although the kitchen had some issues with getting our order, our server made it up to us kindly. Thank you! I recommend reservations via OpenTable.

Checked the website ahead, knew what I wanted to eat. Went there Sunday at 2 pm. Only brunch menu served. I went there to try one of their main dishes. Waitress was polite but not friendly. Noone looked after us for 10 minutes when it was actually pretty empty. Table behind us was ready to leave but it sounded sooo busy in there. Not a pleasant experience all together.

The food was incredible, & the service was fantastic. Love to support vegan restaurants, especially when they show that vegan food is just as good as (or better!) than non-vegan food! Highly recommend their brunch.

This is my most favourite vegan restaurant. I love their nuts curry. I went there with my kids for brunch. They enjoyed hazelnut berry pancakes :) I also love the atmosphere.

Finally an upscale vegan experience in Montreal. THE BRUNCH! So wonderful. The lumberjack bowl & the eggs benedict swapped for tofu are both excellent. The waffle wasn't a favourite, but the rest more than made up for that.

Is it perfect? No, there's some room for improvement on the dinner menu. A bit salty on the poutine & the mac & cheese is a bit bland. Otherwise, the food is very enjoyable.

The staff are EXCELLENT & the decor/vibe could not possibly be better. Overall, a great experience.
