Went to Lov for dinner on a Sunday night with our traveling party of three couples, which included a vegan a vegetarian. Great experience. The space, in an old city Montreal building, is great. Food, drinks & wine were first rate. Staff was welcoming, knowledgeable & attentive. Dinner was relaxed & perfectly paced. Just a great experience.
It is NOT easy to find good vegan meals on the road & this place has saved me while in Montreal. I've eaten there 2 nights in a row & both meals were amazing & delicious. Very thoughtful & creative dishes that don't skimp on flavor. I just sat at the bar by myself to eat & although the bartender was super busy cranking out drinks for the whole restaurant, he was very attentive & polite. Great place & if I didn't have a business dinner scheduled elsewhere tomorrow evening, I'd be back at LOV again!
The restaurant had a beautiful & pleasant ambiance. The staff's attitude was acceptable, & the food quality was decent, though I expected a bit more in terms of flavor & uniqueness.
However, the service organization could be improved. We had a reservation for a special occasion, but upon arrival, we had to wait around 7-8 minutes before anyone came to greet us. Although the restaurant seemed to have many reservations that night, only two staff members were handling the floor, which led to delays in service.
The drinks were very flavorful & enjoyable. Overall, I would say about 60% of my expectations were met.
We had a wonderful dinner there tonight & the food was well prepared, beautiful & very tasty! They had no trouble at all working around a challenging allergy, making something on the fly, off menu, & the cocktail drinks were inventive & beautiful with lots of flower accents. You have your choice of table (some with booths), high top table, or bar seating. We chose the bar seating & it was terrific. The place is bright & light in its decor.
This place is amazing as someone with dietary restrictions. It's nice having a plant based restaurant option with a larger menu so always feel like there are options. It can be a bit pricey if you're getting drinks & a meal. I ordered the lasagna & tried the kimchi fries. I loved the fries but the lasagna & salad weren't too memorable.
Great experience at LOV .
The ambiance is cozy & chic, creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing meal. They specialize in plant-based cuisine, offering a wide variety of creative vegan & vegetarian dishes that are as flavorful as they are beautiful. From their signature bowls to the mouthwatering entrees, every bite was delightful. They also have a unique selection of drinks, including healthy, refreshing options & creative cocktails. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff who made sure we had everything we needed. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or just looking for delicious, wholesome food, LOV is a must-visit spot in Montreal!
We had the risotto & the raviolis, & had the mushroom toast appetizer. The food was all good, especially the appetizer. Although we thought the mains were a bit bland in terms of flavor. The drinks were really good! As for the atmosphere & the service, it was all 5stars.
Great atmosphere, service & drinks but mediocre/bad food. If I could I'd round up to 2.5 stars for the great atmosphere, staff & drinks, but the food is poorly thought out & expensive - & the texture of everything was somewhere between perplexing & offensive. Sauces, textures, temperatures & flavours were all mismatched. There were some interesting components in the tofu Benedict, but wow what a miss structurally (when it's easier to eat a bene with your bare hands, it's clear they missed the brief). The LOX bagel was terrible on so many levels, honestly we should have returned it. The waffles were almost fine I guess, but again texture & flavour balance weren't there. There are clever components on the plate, but I think trying to emulate non veg options is a real mistake. PS: There are real Montreal style bagels from actual Montreal bagel shops that are vegan - there is no reason to use the utterly trash American style bagels they've chosen. Inconceivable.
Amazing food, always fresh & innovating ! I don't drink, but they can easily turn most of their drinks into cocktails & they are delicious! Risotto & dumplings are amazing too!
