Great experience for a vegan restaurant & tons of tasty options. The dumplings are my favourite & highly recommend this place overall. The drinks are also great as well
We went for a birthday dinner for my wife. It was a Monday night so easy to get in. The food is absolutely amazing being a vegan restaurant. The staff was very quick & accommodating. There was slight delay with our second service & team went above & beyond to make up for it. Very much appreciated their service.
Dumplings were must try very very good. We also had arancini, which was too good as well. Kimchi fries went too great but other food & service made up the gap. Loved it absolutely. Would return to this restaurant when coming back to Montreal.
Had a very poor dining experience at this restaurant. Had to wait almost an hour & a half after ordering, & the food itself left a lot to be desired. The entrées (risotto balls, dumplings & cauliflower) were good but also took a very long time.
There was no Prosecco & so our drink order had to be changed, we were only informed quite a while after ordering so I don't know when the waiter placed the order with the bar but im going to assume much later. Also, no sparkling water. The bar is not well stocked.
The risotto was like a soup. There was a film over the dish from it having been sitting out for so long. The asparagus it came with was undercooked. The burger was bland, & had a sweet purée on the bottom that overpowered the whole thing, I was basically eating a sweet purée between two buns. The other burger had a bun that was so toasted it had the texture of a cracker, while the bottom bun was mush, having been sitting out for so long. There was a millimetre of ketchup in the condiment cup, truly a comical amount, I had to ask for more by flagging down the waiter since he didn't come by to ask how everything was.
We were informed that there was some kind of issue in the kitchen, the chef was not there or something. Difficult to accept, considering tables were seated, served, finished their meals, paid & left all while we remained waiting for our meal. Very frustrating to be hungry & see other people sit down after you & be served before you. We debated leaving but were told that our food would be coming very soon. We would have liked to be informed before sitting down that there was no chef, or that food would take a while for whatever reason.
Generally, the service was not so good. Polite & respectful wait staff, but nobody came to check on us after finally being served, nobody to fill water glasses, after getting our food we were mostly ignored. I feel for the service staff, it seems like there's an organizational or management issue at this restaurant that isn't their fault.
As compensation, we were first offered our drinks to be covered. The drinks were two cocktails & two cans of soda, evidently not good enough & we said as much. Drinks & 20% off the bill was offered, also not good enough but we accepted. However, upon receiving the bill we were informed that they could only remove 15%, again, for nebulous reasons. Overall, a very disappointing & frustrating experience.
I will not be eating here again & would not recommend to others.
The dumplings were incredible, the risotto was perfectly done, & the chocolate cake/brownie was just amazing. The drinks LOV'ini & Tiki Mahana were easily some of the best cocktails I've ever had.
The ambience was romantic, & the service was just as amazing atttentive & welcoming throughout.
So happy to have discovered such a great vegan restaurant. Definitely a place worth visiting!
Amazing Vegetarian restaurant with great variety, taste & ambiance.
The staff was amazing too. The server who took care of our table was so sweet & accommodating. I was pregnant so she took extra care of our food according to my needs.
We had the ravioli, LOV burger & dumplings. Loved them all.
My sister & I were on a vacation & were looking for a vegetarian place. So glad we found this place. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by our host. There were lots of options to choose from. I chose carbonara & my sister opted for a California bowl. We also ordered dumplings for starters. Everything tasted so good. I loved my food a lot, the best pasta I've ever had.
From start to finish, a wonderful experience. Great selection of wines. The dumplings & risotto were delicious & warming. Great portion sizes. Waitress was very friendly & made for a wonderful service. One of the best espresso martinis I have had in my life - the cardamom was a lovely & unique touch & paired very well with their brownie. Will absolutely be returning.
We went to Lov for dinner on a Tuesday evening. The interior is open & spacious. The menu is simple. We ordered the arancini & the dumplings for appetizers. The arancini is a decent size & three balls come on one portion. The sauce was flavorful but the arancini themselves were quite dry. The dumplings come with six very small pieces. They are minimally stuffed. The sauce was good, but you couldn't taste much if the filling since it was so little. The filling when had by itself was very flavorful, they just need to add a lot more filling to justify calling these dumplings.
For our entrees we ordered the roasted cauliflower (from the appetizers) & the coco curry. The roasted cauliflower was cooked well, it was tender. It was also quite large, so a good item to share. The coco curry was very flavorful, perfect warming fall spices. The bowl is made with a mix of basmati rice & quinoa as the base & topped with chickpeas in a gravy, wilted kale, & cooked peppers & carrots. It's topped with whole cashews & slivered almonds. A very hearty & nourishing bowl.
Restaurant is very big & spacious. We walked in at 5:30 PM & had plenty of eating available. It was half full when we left at 7 PM.
The food was so delicious at Lov. & the service was excellent. We ordered the dumplings & calamari. The kids & my husband got the veggie burgers & fries & I ordered the'fish' tacos. The food was incredibly delicious & so filling. The service was incredible...they really took the time to explain the menu & provide us with vegan options. Would give 10 stars if I could. We will definitely be back as soon as we're in town! 100% recommend to everyone, vegan, vegetarian or not!
