One of the best vegan restaurants I have ever been to, my non vegan boyfriend agrees. While visiting Montreal on vacation, Lov was referred to us by many locals for my birthday dinner .We made a reservation & as soon as we walked in,we knew that it was the right choice. It was bright with beautiful Decor. We were seated immediately even though we were early for our reservation. Both the food & drinks were absolutely amazing. We decided to share plates so we could try more of the menu. I highly recommend doing this! We started off with drinks, a matcha sour martini & a pink everything which we both enjoyed. First we split the soup of the day which was lentil.It was the perfect start. The 2 appetizers we chose were the snails & the calamari which were nothing like we had ever had. FYi,the leftover butter from the snails makes a great dipping sauce for the calamari . For the main course we got the Mushroom risotto & the Lasagna which were delicious .They both exactly what I remembered them as since going vegan ,only better. Lastly,we had to try all 3 desserts which were keylime cheesecake, creme brule & a brownie with Macha ice cream & Berry Couli. both of us agreed that our favorite was the creme brule. The best part of our dinner by far was our waiter Felix. He gave great recommendations & was very attentive.He allowed us plenty of time to try everything that we ordered & never felt rushed but was always there when we needed him with a smile.Hopefully when you visit you will have him taking care of you . He made my whole birthday dinner a night I will never forget.Thanks Felix! Wish we could've made it back on thursday for the chicken & waffles!

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!
LOV has amazing plant-based dishes covering a wide variety of cuisines & has very unique culinary interpretations of animal-based foods. The service was excellent & the décor was simple but, elegant. Would highly recommend if you want meal that won't disappoint.
Had vegan brunch at Lov. The decor is super zen & very welcoming. Had the tofu benny which was delish. Portions were very generous. Service was excellent. Highly recommend!
High quality vegan food, delicious & served by professional & friendly staff. The atmosphere is beautiful, relaxing. This is our new favourite place in DiX30! Highly recommended. People who are not vegan also commented that they enjoyed the vegan & vegetarian dishes. Next level!
A great place with great vibes & food. Although this place is vegan (which I'm not) I was surprised by the taste of the food. I highly recommend trying the Frites à la truffe & the LOV Lemonade.
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.
