Disappointing experience despite good food
We were visiting Montreal from the US for three days & specifically shortlisted LOV to match our family's vegetarian diet. While the food itself was good, the rest of our experience was extremely disappointing & easily one of our worst in Canada.
The service from our hostess was unwelcoming from the start. We had made a reservation well in advance, yet we were seated right by the bathroom entrance-even though most of the restaurant's tables were empty.
Things only deteriorated from there:
* Careless service: Drinks were practically thrown onto our table, splashing liquids across the table surface & onto our clothes. The hostess didn't apologize, & we had to ask staff for help drying off the mess.
* Dismissive attitude: When we politely asked if she could take a quick family photo for us, her response was,'Only if you make it quick.'
* Lack of basic hospitality: No one checked in on us throughout our meal to ask how the food was or if we needed anything else.
Whether this treatment was tied to our race, country of origin, or simply sheer indifference, it left a very bad taste in our mouth. Given the empty seating & pre-booked reservation, there was no excuse for such poor hospitality. We won't be returning.

Warm, inviting, & creative vegan food with friendly staff. Visiting Montreal, I'd heard of LOV & decided it should be my first stop for dinner. At 8:30pm on a Friday, without a reservation, I was seated upon arrival. Looking over the menu, frankly it is difficult to choose. So, I asked the server for her guidance, ordering the'Calamari' (Hearts of Palm) & Truffle Mushroom Risotto. While the Calamari tasted absolutely nothing like the original dish, the flavor of the breaded hearts-of-palm, coupled with the fresh lemon & creamy sauce, was very good. There was more than enough to share, but eating solo, I stuffed myself. So, when the Risotto arrived, I was a little nervous about making it through the dish. I needn't have worried as the flavors are so complex, rich, & wonderful that I would have eaten another bowl had it been presented to me. It really was delicious with some great texture added by shaved asparagus.
Right about then, my neighbors ordered creme brulee. So, even though I was beyond stuffed, I had to try it. Honestly, the flavor was just about spot on. The texture was more sauce-like than custardy, but I still happily finished every last bit. Overall, it was a great meal at a price of about $50 USD all in - worth every penny.

J'ai été attiré par la déco & j'ai accroché sur le menu végan. Je ne cuisine pas végan donc c' est toujours un plaisir de découvrir ce que les restos offrent de différent. J'ai adoré le risotto aux champignons sauvages & le brownie. La limonade maison était super bonne & les petites attentions, les fleurs sur le verre & la présentation des plats ! La barmaid était très sympathique & m'a offert un excellent service. (Latifa). Bravo à toute l'équipe. Super endroit.
