Review Summary

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.

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 :)

Super nice restaurant for brunch or breakfast! They serve very tasty sweet &/or salty dishes (plus they have vegan & gluten-free options). The beverages are also good & have lactose-free options. Service is good & quick. Definitely coming back!

We ate here last night. We had the mushroom risotto & the Mujadara bowl as our main entrees. As appetizers, we had fries & the simulated plant based snails. We finished with the crème brûlée & the chocolate brownie. The food was good, the service was mindful & the atmosphere was great. I am rating them a four, not a five, because they have a very limited menu. It is always nice to have more options.

Boho brunch vibes in a classy, instagram worthy restaurant at LOV. LOV has been on my list for many years & I finally got a chance to go! It definitely lived up to its hype, the quality of the vegan food is amazing. Everything tasted super fresh & delicious. We ordered the chick n waffle (fried oyster mushroom) which was so good you aren't going to miss chicken (we aren't vegan ! ). The tofu Benedict was a favourite for the family, it surprised us & was delicious. The granola bowl is a great option should you not be in the mood for a heavy savoury breakfast either. The golden milk is a warm, cozy, & immune boosting drink that'll be great on a cold winter & fall morning! The mango tango is a good smoothie , that's not too sweet. Thank you for the kind lady for serving my family & I. Although the kitchen had some issues with getting our order, our server made it up to us kindly. Thank you! I recommend reservations via OpenTable.
