Review Summary

LOV is widely regarded as a beautiful and stylish destination in Montreal, offering an elegant atmosphere that many guests find perfect for dates, special occasions, or casual gatherings. Visitors consistently praise the creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented plant-based cuisine, with standout items like the carbonara, risotto, arancini, and various mocktails frequently earning high marks. While many patrons highlight the kind, attentive, and professional nature of the staff, experiences with service speed and consistency can be mixed, ranging from efficient and welcoming to occasionally slow or disorganized. Despite some differing opinions on portion sizes and seasoning, the majority of diners, including those who are not strictly vegetarian or vegan, consider the restaurant a memorable and high-quality spot that provides a unique and enjoyable culinary experience.

Went with a group of about 10 & were seated in the far back. As a bigger group we had to order off of a $45 or a $55 pre-fix menu with 2-3 choices, which was a bit of a bummer. Lovely atmosphere & decor & servers were friendly but it took 30 minutes for a server to come around to take our order once we all arrived, & then another 40 minutes until our appies. It was a full house, so I get that the servers would be somewhat busy but that's a bit much. The dumplings were tasty, as was the cheesecake & the lemonade. The pesto gnocchi, on the other hand, I found gummy & lacking in seasoning. Pan-frying the gnocchi would add texture. A bit of fresh ground pepper & a few cherry tomatoes would lighten up the dish.

Brunch: honestly I was disappointed in the taste of things. Everything was pretty bland. But the place is cute & the service is very good.

A great place with great vibes & food. Although this place is vegan (which I'm not) I was surprised by the taste of the food. I highly recommend trying the Frites à la truffe & the LOV Lemonade.

The food was good, the service was absolutely amazing. I had organized a dinner for a group of 12 people & they were very accommodating, despite me being last minute. The staff were super friendly, & surprisingly very bilingual as well. The food was very good (as expected). It was a little pricy, but not more than any other equivalent restaurant. The only thing we found to lack was some of the portion sizes. For example, some of our group were excited to try the Pesto Gnocchis. But the portion was not very big, & they were still quite hungry by the end. So that's my only complaint. Overall, I definitely recommend this restaurant. Especially if you're trying to expose people to the positives of a vegan diet!

Beau décor. Personnel accueillant & souriant, Emma L. au service impeccable. Tous les convives étaient heureux de leurs plats, bonnes portions & surtout bon goût. Entre autres les calmars & un très léger enrobage

Decided to try a Vegan meal & was pleasantly surprised. Went simple this time with a plant based cheese burger. I could tell from the first bite but then it grew on me. Will visit or try again. Paired the burger with a nice Ale (Alchemiste Red). The starter soup which was carrot based was refreshing.

The food was great, we came for dinner in the evening, we made a reservation. This was our first time trying orange wine & it didn't disappoint, it was flavourful & not too dry. For starters we had the dumplings, they were nice & cooked to have a good crunch when biting into them & the kimchi fries, the sesame dressing was amazing, we had to ask for more dressing as there wasn't enough on the fries. For mains we had the creamy gnocchi pesto & the mushroom risotto, both tasted amazing. Both were flavourful & it doesn't make you miss meat at all. Overall a good experience & would recommend others to try the restaurant.
