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.

5.0

This place is 100% vegan & 100% great. We made a reservation, highly recommend to do so, & we had high expectations & they were definitely met I'm vegan & my partner isn't. She loved all the food there & didn't miss meat at all. We decided to share 3 plates & it was the better choice because we got to try several things. She really loves the crustini, it was rich & filling. My favorite was the fish tacos. Inside is really nice & fresh looking. The service was great & we didn't have to wait long for our server to check back in on us & get us drinks or what ever we needed right away. I suggest you try it for sure.

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.

Vegan food was good but nothing special for the price. Would’ve given 3 or 4 stars but the service wasn’t good. They could’ve asked if I wanted another drink or refill my bottle of water. Also they don’t take Amex
