We visited Montreal & were looking for vegetarian options when we found LOV. This place is truly amazing, & the vibe is very aesthetic. Their crispy fish tacos(vegan & made up from soy protein not from fish) & Black Pearl mocktail is scrumptious-definitely a must-try if you enjoy fruity flavors with a hint of lavender.

Exceptional service & ambiance!
I had the breakfast poutine & waffle, I wish I ordered the brioche! Food would be 5/5 if it had that beloved greasy diner flavour & crispy potatoes! Love the vegetarian/vegan option downtown MTL. Just missing the flavour!
Sarah
I love they have the options for both gluten-free & diary free. & the green goddess salad is amazing!
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!

Andrew
great place for brunch, host was accomodating! service was excellent. wish there was more salad options!
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!

We had a fabulous, creative meal at LOV, especially the beet avocado tartare. Our server was attentive & made some great suggestions about what to try. We appreciated the wide range of vegetarian options with the California Bowl being exceptional (& perfect for those of us with healthy appetites). We look forward to a return!

Used to be the best tasting vegan pancackes downtown... Very disappointed by the new brunch menu (February 1st, 2025) not only having no vegan sugary option, but having almost no vegan option at all but two, if you take the option without egg. Eventhough the food was very good, I felt I could have gone to any non-vegan brunch & have the same vegan option, of not more... Definitely not coming back until the vegan pancakes are back! Side note: Our waitress was very nice & understanding, thanks to her we still had a good time & didn't leave after looking at the menu

Great atmosphere, service & drinks but mediocre/bad food. If I could I'd round up to 2.5 stars for the great atmosphere, staff & drinks, but the food is poorly thought out & expensive - & the texture of everything was somewhere between perplexing & offensive. Sauces, textures, temperatures & flavours were all mismatched. There were some interesting components in the tofu Benedict, but wow what a miss structurally (when it's easier to eat a bene with your bare hands, it's clear they missed the brief). The LOX bagel was terrible on so many levels, honestly we should have returned it. The waffles were almost fine I guess, but again texture & flavour balance weren't there. There are clever components on the plate, but I think trying to emulate non veg options is a real mistake. PS: There are real Montreal style bagels from actual Montreal bagel shops that are vegan - there is no reason to use the utterly trash American style bagels they've chosen. Inconceivable.

Nous avons passé un excellent moment chez Lov McGill, en bonne compagnie, la nourriture était excellente, & la personne préposée à notre table, Félix, était gentil & prévenant comme tout. Merci pour les belles options vegan... cuisine de qualité !

Ever need to book a restaurant for people with limited options due to their food allergies or restraints? This spot is perfect for EVERYONE. Whether they are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-intolerant, lactose intolerant.. you name it, they cater to it all! & it's not just for vegans or vegetarians - this is the perfect place to try plant-based alternatives that will make you forget you're not eating meat. The food was absolutely delicious! So fresh, with good portions. Their dumplings are "famous" for a reason - they were the ideal starter, along with their soup of the day which was gushed over by those who ordered it. (potato, corn & pepper) We all tried the burgers (Big LOV & Truffle) & were not disappointed. For a meat alternative patty, this is one of the tastier I've tried. LOV is a treasure! We need more places like this.

Our dinner at Lov in Montreal was a standout during our trip, offering a perfect blend of exceptional service, delicious vegan & vegetarian options, & stunning decor. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth & attentiveness that made us feel instantly at ease. The menu at Lov is a haven for plant-based food enthusiasts. My wife, who particularly enjoys vegan cuisine, was thrilled with the variety & creativity of the dishes. Each plate was a vibrant display of fresh, flavorful ingredients that were both satisfying & beautifully presented. The options are so well-crafted that even non-vegetarians will find something to love. The decor of the restaurant is simply breathtaking. With its chic, modern design, lush greenery, & cozy atmosphere, Lov feels like a serene oasis in the heart of the city. The ambiance added an extra layer of enjoyment to our dining experience, making it not just a meal, but a memorable event. Overall, Lov Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone in Montreal looking for delicious vegan & vegetarian fare in a beautiful setting. We left feeling satisfied & eager to return on our next visit to the city. Highly recommended!

5 stars for a great menu! Dairy free & gluten free options available.

Avril 2024 Super bonne nourriture qui satisfait l'appétit. Nous étions trois femmes pour le dîner. C'est un beau restaurant proche de la gare centrale. Il y avait une belle variété d'options. Nous avons choisi le combo du dîner, qui inclut un entrée & un repas. Nous avons mangé le tartare de betteraves. C'était délicieux! Un super mélange de textures & saveurs. J'ai pris le bol mujaddara & la portion est énorme! Encore une explosion de saveur & de textures mais plus subtil. La sauce & les petits oignons croustillants rehaussent l'expérience du bol tiède. Le restaurant n'est pas accessible pour les fauteuils roulants ou les poussettes. Il y avait des chaises hautes. Les salles de toilettes sont non-genrées.

A great, unique vegetarian/vegan restaurant with a diverse menu to appeal to plenty of tastes. The mushroom risotto is amazing & there are great, hearty salad options. We also really enjoyed our mocktails. The service was relatively quick & very friendly. Prices are reasonable for the quantity & quality of dishes.

Came for brunch & was not disappointed! There is a separate brunch menu, not currently listed on the website. We had Vegan cappuccinos & vegan waffles, & we tried the vegan hazelnut spread pancakes. This is more of a relaxing vibe kind of place where you can meet a friend for brunch & spent some time in a nice place. A cozy restaurant within a large plaza, but when you walk in you feel you have stepped up into a bright, airy, designer space with table seating & a large center bar. The walls are covered in windows which creates a very cool aesthetic. The food is all vegan & the vegetarian menu are the only non-vegan options.

Nice place. Staff is very friendly. Would be great if they could add some healthy vegan/vegetarian options to the menu as well :)
