Came to see what the hype was about & was definitely not disappointed! We got the avocado & beer tartare & the mushroom risotto (vegan version) & both were delicious :) For dessert, we got the brownie & ice cream & while it was delicious, I would not have minded if there was a bit more ice cream to even out the ratio haha! Highly recommend this place!
I loved this place. After a day of exploring Montreal, this reenergized us. Great vegan/vegetarian restaurant with a comfortable but upscale ambience. Food was delicious & staff were very kind. A little pricey but great to support such a business. Highly recommend you give it a try.
The food was Amazing! The Solmon & beet appetizers were the best! We also enjoyed the Truffle burger & the Green Goddess salad. Highly recommended!!! p.s. we went to LOV 3 times in 5 days. That says it all.

Had a very poor dining experience at this restaurant. Had to wait almost an hour & a half after ordering, & the food itself left a lot to be desired. The entrées (risotto balls, dumplings & cauliflower) were good but also took a very long time.
There was no Prosecco & so our drink order had to be changed, we were only informed quite a while after ordering so I don't know when the waiter placed the order with the bar but im going to assume much later. Also, no sparkling water. The bar is not well stocked.
The risotto was like a soup. There was a film over the dish from it having been sitting out for so long. The asparagus it came with was undercooked. The burger was bland, & had a sweet purée on the bottom that overpowered the whole thing, I was basically eating a sweet purée between two buns. The other burger had a bun that was so toasted it had the texture of a cracker, while the bottom bun was mush, having been sitting out for so long. There was a millimetre of ketchup in the condiment cup, truly a comical amount, I had to ask for more by flagging down the waiter since he didn't come by to ask how everything was.
We were informed that there was some kind of issue in the kitchen, the chef was not there or something. Difficult to accept, considering tables were seated, served, finished their meals, paid & left all while we remained waiting for our meal. Very frustrating to be hungry & see other people sit down after you & be served before you. We debated leaving but were told that our food would be coming very soon. We would have liked to be informed before sitting down that there was no chef, or that food would take a while for whatever reason.
Generally, the service was not so good. Polite & respectful wait staff, but nobody came to check on us after finally being served, nobody to fill water glasses, after getting our food we were mostly ignored. I feel for the service staff, it seems like there's an organizational or management issue at this restaurant that isn't their fault.
As compensation, we were first offered our drinks to be covered. The drinks were two cocktails & two cans of soda, evidently not good enough & we said as much. Drinks & 20% off the bill was offered, also not good enough but we accepted. However, upon receiving the bill we were informed that they could only remove 15%, again, for nebulous reasons. Overall, a very disappointing & frustrating experience.
I will not be eating here again & would not recommend to others.
(Je repost car j'ai supprimé mon avis sans le vouloir...)
J'ai pris un mocktail Tiki Mahana & un Truffle Burger & c'était largement suffisant ! L'ambiance est très cosy & les plats sont excellents. Le service était au top
Je recommande !
Le décor, le service & les mets: tout est charmant & raffiné. & les prix sont raisonnables. Pour le brunch, si vous avez la dent sucrée, je vous recommande particulièrement le pain perdu.
LOV was one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I had in Montreal. The restaurant has a beautiful, elegant, & relaxing atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. It is a great place for a date, a special occasion, or simply a peaceful meal with friends & family.
The food was absolutely delicious, creative, & beautifully presented. Every dish was prepared with care & full of flavor. It is impressive how satisfying & memorable plant-based cuisine can be.
What truly stood out was the staff. The employees were welcoming, attentive, incredibly kind, & always smiling. Their genuine hospitality made the entire experience even more enjoyable.
Overall, LOV offers a wonderful combination of excellent food, a relaxing ambiance, & outstanding service. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable vegan dining experience in Montreal.

LOV a été l'une des meilleures expériences culinaires de mon séjour à Montréal. Le restaurant offre une ambiance élégante, chaleureuse & relaxante qui permet de se sentir à l'aise dès l'arrivée. C'est un endroit idéal pour un rendez-vous, une occasion spéciale ou simplement un repas agréable entre amis ou en famille.
Les plats étaient absolument délicieux, créatifs & magnifiquement présentés. Chaque assiette était préparée avec soin & remplie de saveurs. La cuisine végétale y est à la fois raffinée & très satisfaisante.
Le personnel mérite également une mention spéciale. Les employés étaient accueillants, attentionnés, très gentils & toujours souriants. Leur service chaleureux a rendu l'expérience encore plus mémorable.
Dans l'ensemble, LOV offre une excellente combinaison de cuisine savoureuse, d'ambiance apaisante & de service exceptionnel. Je le recommande vivement à toute personne souhaitant découvrir une expérience végane de grande qualité à Montréal.
This restaurant is a great spot with plenty of vegetarian & vegan options. The food is full of flavor & genuinely delicious, & coming from someone who is not vegetarian or vegan, I really loved it. There are so many great choices on the menu.
They also have a wide drink selection, from cocktails & mocktails to smoothies, all highly recommended. The atmosphere is calm & cozy, perfect for an afternoon with friends, a date, or even a book club meetup. Definitely a place worth coming back to.
