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.

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.
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.
