I remember watching a buzzfeed video about this place a long time ago & figured if I'd be in the area I would visit. Worthwhile decision! I got seated quickly during lunch hours by really friendly staff. I ordered fish tacos & the kimchi fries (the main point of visiting) which came out quickly & looked very appetizing. The food was delicious & so well seasoned. This spot is vegetarian/vegan based & I feel it proves that meat doesn't always shine. The atmosphere was also felt very inviting & chill. I highly recommend coming here & getting some great food!View more

Stopped by LOV McGill during a recent trip to Montréal & was pleasantly surprised. I had the house-made vegan burger-not your typical Impossible or Beyond patty, which was a nice change. Flavorful, satisfying, & held together well. Definitely a solid choice if you're looking for a good plant-based burger.
Highly recommend going with the sweet potato fries over the regular ones-they're crispier & have way more flavor.
We liked it enough to come back a second time. I tried the fish taco (also vegan), & it was actually really good-great texture & seasoning, one of the standouts on the menu.
Overall, a great spot for anyone looking for a vegetarian or vegan-friendly meal in a stylish, casual setting. Worth a visit even if you're not strictly plant-based.View more

Very sad experience. My dish arrived 25 min earlier than my friend, & we had to eat separated. I had the mushroom risotto & the taste was pure black pepper & no salt at all. I don't recommend.View more

My girlfriend & I were in Montreal for a quick visit, & wanted a bite to eat after the Archeology museum right down the road. My girlfriend is plant based, & I pretty much follow suit at this point, so we were delighted to find a place that catered to only vegetarian foods. We shared the crostini, very delicious, followed by the French onion soup-yum. I had the carbonara & she had the fish tacos- she couldn't believe that it had a fishy taste & was vegan! The ambience & the setting were a delight, & our server was very pleasant. Highly recommend!View more

For starters, this has to be one of the best Vegan/Vegetarian restaurants in Montréal. Great service & amazing food, I highly recommend the mushroom crostini & tofu benedict.View more

My husband & I went to LOV on a date night. My husband is a carnivore & I am a vegetarian. He is pretty reluctant to eat vegetarian food, however, he absolutely loved the food here.
We both really enjoyed the atmosphere & the food was divine. My husband got an old fashioned & was really impressed.
We both had the French onion soup as our appetizer. We shared the mozzarella as well as the arancini for our mains. I would recommend all three of these dishes.
I highly recommend this restaurant for vegans, vegetarians, & carnivores alike!View more

The dining area was too cute. The warm vibe was welcoming & the staff was fantastic. The food was absolutely amazing. I don't know if Montreal is just a high caliber for service & food or if I have been lucky. I normally give 3 star ratings. This place blew my mind with their vegetarian dishes. The Konjac salmon was so good. The beet salad was flavourful. The sweet potato fries was the right balance of sweet & savoury. Highly recommend this restaurant.View more

One of the best vegan restaurants I have ever been to, my non vegan boyfriend agrees. While visiting Montreal on vacation, Lov was referred to us by many locals for my birthday dinner .We made a reservation & as soon as we walked in,we knew that it was the right choice. It was bright with beautiful Decor. We were seated immediately even though we were early for our reservation. Both the food & drinks were absolutely amazing. We decided to share plates so we could try more of the menu. I highly recommend doing this! We started off with drinks, a matcha sour martini & a pink everything which we both enjoyed. First we split the soup of the day which was lentil.It was the perfect start. The 2 appetizers we chose were the snails & the calamari which were nothing like we had ever had. FYi,the leftover butter from the snails makes a great dipping sauce for the calamari . For the main course we got the Mushroom risotto & the Lasagna which were delicious .They both exactly what I remembered them as since going vegan ,only better. Lastly,we had to try all 3 desserts which were keylime cheesecake, creme brule & a brownie with Macha ice cream & Berry Couli. both of us agreed that our favorite was the creme brule. The best part of our dinner by far was our waiter Felix. He gave great recommendations & was very attentive.He allowed us plenty of time to try everything that we ordered & never felt rushed but was always there when we needed him with a smile.Hopefully when you visit you will have him taking care of you . He made my whole birthday dinner a night I will never forget.Thanks Felix! Wish we could've made it back on thursday for the chicken & waffles!View more

This place is very pleasant, ideal for meeting friends. Cozy, delicate interior, beautiful furniture & excellent service. Prices are quite reasonable. The dishes are beautifully presented & quite tasty. Good coffee. The wait for the order was somewhat overshadowed by the too long wait. The dishes were not served at the same time. & it was completely uncomfortable when the neighboring tables, after clearing the dishes, began to be treated with chemicals. There was already food on our table. & nearby tables & chairs were disinfected. I thank you for the cleanliness & disinfection. But I'm eating here now! However, the overall impression is quite positive, I definitely recommend this establishment!!!View more

We went here for dinner after reading amazing reviews about the gnocchi,kimchi fries & coconut curry, sadly, they had stopped serving gnocchi, but we tried their coconut curry was delicious. Kimchi fries were okayish, they lacked kimchi & a bit of dressing so I wouldn't recommend it as you won't be missing out on anything. Their Dumplings were tasty too, the dipping sauce which came with it was delicious & we used the same to finish the kimchi fries too hehe. The coconut curry was soooo comforting, we were visiting montreal for the first time & were roaming for entire day,after having this coconut curry it just felt like we ended our day having home cooked dish!! I would highly recommend it if you are craving for some comfort food. The drinks were also nice, we ordered the Botanist & Pink everything , I must say the Botanist was really really good. I would highly recommend it. The ambience of this place is really nice & peaceful. It won't seem like a very big restaurant from outside but once you enter you would be like this is huge!! Plus it's all white & nice. I would come back here to try their brunch menu & also try their other dishes in future. & would be happy to see if they serve their famous gnocchi again!!! Staff here is very friendly & nice!View more

LOV has amazing plant-based dishes covering a wide variety of cuisines & has very unique culinary interpretations of animal-based foods. The service was excellent & the décor was simple but, elegant. Would highly recommend if you want meal that won't disappoint.View more

I was super excited for a fancy vegan/ veg restaurant, & Lov did not disappoint! Amazing atmosphere, great service, delicious food & great variety in their menu. Tables were available on a Friday night, but I'd recommend making a reservation for good seats. Both indoor & outdoor seating available. We tried the orange wine (worth it, no strong flavor), dumplings (amazing sauce- must try), kimchi fries (interestingly tasty), coconut curry (filling & flavourful). Only let down- parking. The streets are almost always full & the paid parking lot adjacent to the restaurant is unreasonably pricey.View more

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.View more

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!View more

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.View more

This place is 100% vegan & 100% great. We made a reservation, highly recommend to do so, & we had high expectations & they were definitely met I'm vegan & my partner isn't. She loved all the food there & didn't miss meat at all. We decided to share 3 plates & it was the better choice because we got to try several things. She really loves the crustini, it was rich & filling. My favorite was the fish tacos. Inside is really nice & fresh looking. The service was great & we didn't have to wait long for our server to check back in on us & get us drinks or what ever we needed right away. I suggest you try it for sure.View more

Boho brunch vibes in a classy, instagram worthy restaurant at LOV. LOV has been on my list for many years & I finally got a chance to go! It definitely lived up to its hype, the quality of the vegan food is amazing. Everything tasted super fresh & delicious. We ordered the chick n waffle (fried oyster mushroom) which was so good you aren't going to miss chicken (we aren't vegan ! ). The tofu Benedict was a favourite for the family, it surprised us & was delicious. The granola bowl is a great option should you not be in the mood for a heavy savoury breakfast either. The golden milk is a warm, cozy, & immune boosting drink that'll be great on a cold winter & fall morning! The mango tango is a good smoothie , that's not too sweet. Thank you for the kind lady for serving my family & I. Although the kitchen had some issues with getting our order, our server made it up to us kindly. Thank you! I recommend reservations via OpenTable.View more

The food was incredible, & the service was fantastic. Love to support vegan restaurants, especially when they show that vegan food is just as good as (or better!) than non-vegan food! Highly recommend their brunch.View more

Loved Lov! It has a very elegant, cozy vibe. Food was good. Service was even better! We didn't have resos & were kinda late but were accommodated quickly. Their orange wine was fabulous! Unique taste & flavour profile. 100% recommend to all vegans & non vegans out there!View more
