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.
Andy
LOVed the vegan burger & fries. ALMOST as good as Mcdonalds fries (when they're right out the batter).
Colette
We were SO happy to find this gem of a vegetarian restaurant in downtown Montreal! The food was outstanding, the service super friendly, & the ambiance is perfect for date night.
Tania
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!

I remember watching a buzzfeed video about this place a long time ago & figured if I'd be in the area I would visit. Worthwhile decision! I got seated quickly during lunch hours by really friendly staff. I ordered fish tacos & the kimchi fries (the main point of visiting) which came out quickly & looked very appetizing. The food was delicious & so well seasoned. This spot is vegetarian/vegan based & I feel it proves that meat doesn't always shine. The atmosphere was also felt very inviting & chill. I highly recommend coming here & getting some great food!

If we could give more than five stars, we would do it. The food was amazing: it was flavourful, tasty, & the presentation was impeccable. Our waiter, Kevin, was very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, & professional. There is something special about some of the appetizers: we tried three, & we are going to be back to have some of them again. I've never tasted (veggie) calamari as good as these. Aranchini were soft & had perfectly balanced flavors. All the sauces, even every one of those tiny amounts placed around the edge of a dish, balanced the flavor perfectly.
Overall, this restaurant provides an exquisite experience, & we will be back.

Stopped by LOV McGill during a recent trip to Montréal & was pleasantly surprised. I had the house-made vegan burger-not your typical Impossible or Beyond patty, which was a nice change. Flavorful, satisfying, & held together well. Definitely a solid choice if you're looking for a good plant-based burger.
Highly recommend going with the sweet potato fries over the regular ones-they're crispier & have way more flavor.
We liked it enough to come back a second time. I tried the fish taco (also vegan), & it was actually really good-great texture & seasoning, one of the standouts on the menu.
Overall, a great spot for anyone looking for a vegetarian or vegan-friendly meal in a stylish, casual setting. Worth a visit even if you're not strictly plant-based.
Felipe
Very sad experience. My dish arrived 25 min earlier than my friend, & we had to eat separated. I had the mushroom risotto & the taste was pure black pepper & no salt at all. I don't recommend.
Isabella
😘😘 health, veg/vegan food spot. The mushroom toast was delish. Fries were yummy too. Smoothie was good! Large portion sizes
Pretty empty / easy to get table sat @11am
Roxy
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!
Dorothy
The dining area was too cute. The warm vibe was welcoming & the staff was fantastic. The food was absolutely amazing. I don't know if Montreal is just a high caliber for service & food or if I have been lucky. I normally give 3 star ratings. This place blew my mind with their vegetarian dishes. The Konjac salmon was so good. The beet salad was flavourful. The sweet potato fries was the right balance of sweet & savoury. Highly recommend this restaurant.

LOV offers a delightful dining experience for those who appreciate creative & flavorful plant-based cuisine. The food is thoughtfully prepared with fresh ingredients, & each dish is both visually appealing & delicious. The service was friendly & attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The atmosphere is cozy & chic, making it a perfect spot for a casual lunch or a special evening out.

The place is very cute & the staff is very polite & attentive. For starters we had the onion soup & the faux salmon tartare & both were really good, especially the salmon tartare was AMAZING! The fish tacos were also really good but they looked a bit sad & the fries were just average. The mushrooms risotto was also very good! Overall we had a great dinner & would definitely come again to try more ☺️
Sun
This place is a vegan gem! The menu is creative & diverse, with something for everyone-even non-vegans would love it. I tried caramari fries, buffalo cauliflower wings & the mushroom risotto & were absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, & the staff are knowledgeable & welcoming. Whether you're vegan or just curious, this is a must-visit spot. I can't wait to come back & try more dishes
Andrew
A great vegan restaurant. They understood allergies well & brought over a binder over to review the ingredients on each dish. The staff was very friendly & professional. Highly recommend.
Caroline
I brought my partner here for a date night. I wasn't sure if it was going to be intimate enough, but I've been to LOV before & love their menu. It turned out to be a lovely evening & exactly what we needed. The server was attentive, gave recommendations, & I was overjoyed to see some of my favourite item still on the menu as well as many new items that were creative & absolutely delicious. We were full, but still ordered dessert & had absolutely no regrets. LOV has been a favourite of mine because of it's vegan menu, & every non-vegan friend I've brought to this place has always absolutely loved it. This time was no exception; my partner raved about the food. A bonus is that the McGill location borders Old Montreal, so we had a nice romantic walk in the old Port afterwards to digest all the food we ate. Lovely evening.

We had a mixed experience at Lov Restaurant. My boyfriend's vegetarian burger was tasty, & my California bowl was a generous portion. The waitress was friendly & even made me an Aperol spritz that wasn't on the menu, which was a nice touch. However, when we arrived, the host seemed stressed & rushed, giving me a weird look when checking our reservation. He allowed us to choose where to sit, but when we requested a table for two, he firmly said no because it seats four, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. This left us feeling cramped next to other diners. Overall, the food was good, but the service could use some improvement. French translation Nous avons eu une expérience mitigée au restaurant Lov. Le burger végétarien de mon petit ami était savoureux & mon California bowl était une portion généreuse. La serveuse était sympathique & m'a même préparé un Aperol spritz qui n'était pas sur le menu, ce qui était une belle attention. Cependant, à notre arrivée, l'hôte semblait stressé & pressé, me lançant un regard étrange en vérifiant notre réservation. Il nous a permis de choisir notre place, mais lorsque nous avons demandé une table pour deux, il a catégoriquement refusé en disant qu'elle était pour quatre, même si le restaurant n'était pas occupé. Cela nous a laissés à l'étroit, très proches d'autres clients. Dans l'ensemble, la nourriture était bonne, mais le service pourrait être amélioré.

Came here with my boyfriend on Saturday at 2ish pm for Brunch. Brunch ends at 3pm. There were two other tables. We got the chocolate hazelnut pancakes, the sweet waffle, & the truffle fries. The waffle was good. Hot & crispy. Good flavor too. The pancakes were quite cold though & flavorless. I asked the server & he said they were supposed to be Luke warm. He did ask if i wanted to send them back to the kitchen, but if that's how they serve them, then obviously I wouldn't, but I didn't enjoy eating cold pancakes. So keep that in mind. I also realised at the end that it was supposed to come with matcha ice cream as per the menu. I asked the server, he went to get it for me & said they were out of matcha, & gave me vanilla instead. I don't know if the kitchen thought I wouldn't notice, & that's why they omitted it since they were out, or it was an honest mistake. I hope it's the latter. The server was friendly & the service was fine but I'm not sure I'd go back as it wasn't a fantastic meal. I'm dairy intolerant so i get excited when I can have chocolate pancakes/waffles, so I was a bit disappointed. The fries were okay, weirdly not very truffle forward but I liked the dipping sauce. If I went again I'd try something else.

Great kimchi fries & berry smoothie. But for me the kimchi was seaweed. Great service. Beautiful restaurant.
