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.

Heard about this place from the show ‘worth it’ & absolutely loved the food. We ordered the salted ricotta & dumplings to start & the mushroom burger with kimchi fries. The service was quick & efficient but do ensure you make a reservation as they were super packed.

Restaurant serves vegan food, my partner enjoyed the curry dish, I had the burger & it was okay, fries were not good in my opinion, under seasoned. Cute restaurant tho.

Servers were friendly & prompt to begin with. However, I could make a comment on the efficiency at which the business is run. There was only one server running orders to the respective tables, while plates piled up at the kitchen window. At the end, we waited over 15 minutes to pay for our meal & leave.

I had the tagliatelle, & while very creamy; it lacked flavor. Aside from the savory "bacon" bits & the lemon, there was nothing else contributing taste. Would definitely benefit from some garlic as well as a few other spices. My partner had the LOV burger, it was....just okay. Very dry. The highlight of our meal was the crème brûlèe, it was delicious.

We frequented the LOV location in Toronto back when it was open & I expected the food to be the same, if not similar. For the price, the food was very underwhelming.

The atmosphere was great & dècor is very pleasing. The interior designer did amazing!
