Overall, LOV is celebrated as a must visit for veggie lovers, with many expressing intent to return, though a handful of meals fell short on flavor, value, or execution.
Very good food! All the entrées were amazing & i took the fettucini which was excellent ! Margarita was amazing. Im not vegetarian or vegan & i loved it! Good place to gather especially if someone in a group has dietary restrictions ! They have gluten free options as well.
Visited this place recently for a bridal shower & it was such a cozy, aesthetic spot for a celebration. The interior is absolutely beautiful, warm, elegant, & perfect for photos & group gatherings, it's a place we were searching for. The food overall was really good, especially the starters, which were full of flavour & definitely the highlight of the meal.
The main dish I ordered wasn't quite the flavor profile I was expecting, which was a little disappointing, but the rest of the experience made up for it. Service was also a bit slow though, but was grateful at the end as they cut & served the cake we brought in for us! So that makes up for the slow service.
Overall, it is a lovely vegetarian restaurant with a great vibe for special occasions & get-togethers! The bride, being a vegetarian, loves it! Everyone enjoyed the experience!
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.
What an experience!
I have recommended LOV to my non-vegan/vegetarian friends & they have also been blown away with the craftsmanship & curated culinarily experience of LOV. First, the interior design speaks for itself. It's strategically designed & tells a story throughout the space, from the entrance to the bathroom, every moment as been thought out.
It was difficult to choose from the menu because everything sound so delicious, fresh & healthy.
I tried a variety of options & couldn't be more satisfied with out choices. Lastly, cheers to the amazing staff, you folks provided THE best customer service!!
Amazing Vegetarian restaurant with great variety, taste & ambiance.
The staff was amazing too. The server who took care of our table was so sweet & accommodating. I was pregnant so she took extra care of our food according to my needs.
We had the ravioli, LOV burger & dumplings. Loved them all.

My sister & I were on a vacation & were looking for a vegetarian place. So glad we found this place. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by our host. There were lots of options to choose from. I chose carbonara & my sister opted for a California bowl. We also ordered dumplings for starters. Everything tasted so good. I loved my food a lot, the best pasta I've ever had.
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.
I've always thought that LOV was 100% vegan & I am quite frustrated to know it is not. I don't know if they changed it recently or if it has always been like this but I won't go back. It's really easy for vegetarians to eat at any restaurants, your cuisine becomes special when you're able to provide something out of the ordinary.

Went to Lov for dinner on a Sunday night with our traveling party of three couples, which included a vegan a vegetarian. Great experience. The space, in an old city Montreal building, is great. Food, drinks & wine were first rate. Staff was welcoming, knowledgeable & attentive. Dinner was relaxed & perfectly paced. Just a great experience.
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!
We would like to thank the LOV McGill restaurant for creating a wonderful experience for us! Latifa the'Queen' of service & hospitality was our waitress. The vegetarian dishes were'incroyable'. The meal, cocktails & desserts made our milestone celebration a memorable one. Thank you to Latifa & the team for an amazing experience!!!! We love LOV!

We were SO happy to find this gem of a vegetarian restaurant in downtown Montreal! The food was outstanding, the service super friendly, & the ambiance is perfect for date night.
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!
Tho I'm not vegan or vegetarian, I can say this is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to as a non vegetarian person. There's an explosion of flavors in every bite, the food is just stunning. Can't wait to come back to Montreal & try everything else 😍😍😍
