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!

Being a vegan restaurant before, I was sad to learn they have moved to a vegetarian menu. Despite that, always a great experience eating at LOV & having a great dining out experience for vegans in Montréal! In future, I'd like for them to bring back some vegan options & specially a vegan pasta option.

As someone who eats meat & cooks professionally, I was looking for something plant-based for dinner. LOV was a perfect match. Great flavors &, overall, good seasoning on the food that I had. Great mocktails-the Blackberry Pearl was excellent. The truffle burger & cauliflower are definitely worth trying.

From arriving to the mains hitting the table was around 1:40. Kitchen looked overwhelmed with takeaway orders & staff just waiting around. Then when the dishes did arrive, they forgot one of our dishes. Food was ok.

This restaurant is no longer vegan. They still show a dated review on their website that says it's 100% vegan, which they need to remove. Unfortunately there are not as many exciting options that are vegan that you can't get anywhere (rice bowls & burgers). They had a vegan fish tacos too but they were out. It was really disappointing as we went there because we thought it had vegan pastas.

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere & the server was very pleasant. Good location near the Old Port. Pricy for what it used to be but probably because it is close to a touristy area.

Waited over an hour for food. Restaurant was not busy at all. Didn't end up getting the food & left. Our waitress was friendly & tried to support but unfortunately nothing could have been done.

The food is good, but my coffee was cold & it takes forever to get something. They definitely need more staff working. Disappointed!
