We went here for dinner after reading amazing reviews about the gnocchi,kimchi fries & coconut curry, sadly, they had stopped serving gnocchi, but we tried their coconut curry was delicious. Kimchi fries were okayish, they lacked kimchi & a bit of dressing so I wouldn't recommend it as you won't be missing out on anything. Their Dumplings were tasty too, the dipping sauce which came with it was delicious & we used the same to finish the kimchi fries too hehe. The coconut curry was soooo comforting, we were visiting montreal for the first time & were roaming for entire day,after having this coconut curry it just felt like we ended our day having home cooked dish!! I would highly recommend it if you are craving for some comfort food. The drinks were also nice, we ordered the Botanist & Pink everything , I must say the Botanist was really really good. I would highly recommend it. The ambience of this place is really nice & peaceful. It won't seem like a very big restaurant from outside but once you enter you would be like this is huge!! Plus it's all white & nice. I would come back here to try their brunch menu & also try their other dishes in future. & would be happy to see if they serve their famous gnocchi again!!! Staff here is very friendly & nice!

Really diverse menu. Perfect for a full meal or just drinks & appetizers. I saw people doing small events like birthday celebrations & it looked really nice. It is a very aesthetic place. Service was quick & I really enjoyed the food & drinks.

Great vibes, great drinks & dessert, horribly salted & peppered mains. Came with two others before the eclipse so we expected an unusually long wait & weren't bothered by it. Waitstaff was overwhelmed & forgetful, but apologetic & extremely friendly. The cocktails were AMAZING & the appetizers were great, but we were all disappointed with the entrees. I had the mushroom risotto that was both so salty & so peppery that you couldn't taste any of the mushrooms. My partner had a pasta dish that was likewise too salty to enjoy. Our friend had the quinoa bowl which was OK at best; the desserts were much better across the board. I'd give this place another chance, even for how pricey it was.

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
