so disgusting. literally inedible. had to throw it all away. what's with all the high reviews? some of the worst food i've ever tasted. the mekong sandwich was so sweet it was like a dessert. it tasted crazy gross. i could not eat the buffalo wings either. the sauce wasn't like buffalo sauce but rather a funky cheese yeast sauce. but the worst part was the wing itself. mushy texture and disgusting flavour. the dragon bowl was a tiny salad and a small block of unseasoned tofu. the sauce, again, was a terrible thick yeast dressing, way too sweet and way too salty. the berry un-cheesecake has a very high water content for the crust the filling and the compote. like severely incompetent preparation on all fronts. usually with a bad dessert you can find something to salvage. i enjoy vegan food and this was terrible. made me feel sick. sham restaurant.

Oh dear Maggy with a fiery pen, We’re sorry it wasn’t love at first bite, or even at ten. You ordered through Uber with hopes held high, And was left with a “sham!” and a culinary cry. Our Mekong went sweet when you wanted it bold, A rebel, it seems, refusing the mold. Our “wings” (no wings!) dared to be kind, With plants instead of feathers, how terribly designed. The Dragon Bowl, small? Oh, what a twist— It must have hidden its magic you somehow missed. And that cheesecake… oh my, the nerve it had, To be soft, to be juicy and positively mad! Still, we thank you dearly for giving us a try, Even if it ended in a dramatic goodbye. For every palate dances to its own little tune, Some waltz with our food, some leave far too soon. If ever you wander back, we’ll welcome you still, With kindness, good vibes, and a well-seasoned will. Until then, dear critic, bold and free— We wish you great meals… wherever they may be

Everything was awesome! Everything tasted great and the service was super. You need to try their Choco-pomme cake, it was delicious! It was a quiet night (bring a Tuesday), so Atmosphere was relaxed.☺️

Food is really good! One of my favorite vegan restaurants, but the prices are just ridiculous. 3$ for an extra potato wedge containing 5 wedge…. 60$ for 2 sandwiches a cookie and an extra potato wedge too expensive for what it is.

I had the mango lassi, tempeh bites and shared a carrot cake. All good (taste, freshness, wholesome, ethical). My friends had the burger, creamsicle smoothies, mimosas, sandwiches and Choco banana pie. Everyone enjoyed the food but the vegan factor, atmosphere and service was the highlight. It’s a beautiful place to be and the servers were so polite, patient and proactive even when we were all spacing out. They’re one of the trailblazers of the vegan scene in Montreal so I’ll give them that. Side note: Before I ordered I asked a staff member if the workers are treated better these days because I heard horror stories from the past. He replied convincingly and happily that yes everything is good now and the staff are treated much better by the new management and they get asked that a lot. I took that as the full truth but when I got home I read another review from 6 months ago that said the staff are paid less than the minimum wage (because it’s a restaurant so they can get away with it legally — that’s the tipping culture here but I don’t think it’s right. They should be paid at least minimum wage just as a protection measure whether or not changes are made to the business. The prices of the food seem high enough to cover it but maybe not because of greedy landlords ? I don’t think workers should have to take less than their work is worth when a client comes in knowingly not willing to pay tip because of their financial situation regardless of the price of the food. While people shouldn’t go out to eat if they can’t afford tipping at restaurants that expect tip (not all restaurants do — you can try places that don’t expect tips like Larry’s but you’re going to pay more and it isn’t vegan), it shouldn’t have to turn into a scene that humiliates multiple parties. If I was a waiter I would let it slide with the customer because it’s just one person whereas the employer/government create the problem in the first place that needs to be solved (charge 15% more for food and write no tips on the menu and increase hourly salaries by however much they would make usually with tips or when a client pays less than 15% for tip the employer will cover the difference)

Hello, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review, it really means a lot to us. We’re happy to hear that you and your friends enjoyed the food, and especially that the atmosphere and service stood out. Our team works hard to create a welcoming and attentive experience, so your kind words about them are truly appreciated. We also want to thank you for bringing up your concerns around working conditions and compensation. It’s an important conversation, and we understand why it matters to you. To clarify, we fully comply with Quebec labour standards, including the wage structure for tipped employees. While there is a different minimum for tipped positions, this is part of a regulated system, and tips are an additional income that goes directly to staff, and waiters in general much prefer that system as their wages are considerably higher. We appreciate you taking the time to raise these points in such a constructive way. Feedback like yours helps keep these conversations moving forward, both within our organization and in the industry as a whole. We hope to welcome you back again soon! Warm regards, The Aux Vivres Team

Came here for dinner and had the Dragon Bowl, Okonomiyaki Bowl, Bali Bowl, and Le Royal Cheeze. Also had the taquitos and Aux Vivres Mezze & Chapati to start. Taquitos weren’t too bad. The Mezze and Chipati dish was much better - the smoked carrot pate was amazing. The Dragon and Okonomiyaki bowls were both a hit. The Bali Bowl was awkward though. The dressing was much too tart and didn’t go with the ingredients in the salad. The burger was good too, but the potato wedges were on the soft side (instead of being nice and crispy). Overall a pretty good place for veg meals!

Tried Aux Vivres Plateau in Montreal and overall it was a solid vegan dining experience. The food presentation was clean and appealing. The burger (Okonomiyaki-style) had a nice texture and flavor balance, and the potato wedges were well-seasoned and crispy on the outside. The chipotle mayo added a good kick and tied the plate together nicely. The taquitos were decent—crispy and served with a creamy dipping sauce—but they felt a bit standard compared to the burger, which stood out more. Portion sizes were fair, and the menu offers good variety for plant-based options. Pricing is on the slightly higher side (~$55 for the meal), but expected for a specialty vegan spot in Montreal. Service was smooth, and the overall vibe felt casual and welcoming.

Smit, thank you for the kind words. We are glad the Okonomiyaki style burger impressed, the wedges were crispy and well seasoned, and the chipotle mayo tied it all together. It means a lot that the vibe felt welcoming. We are looking forwarding to having you back for more delicious vegan meals.

The food is good, but their online delivery service is awful and it always takes an eternity to get here... if we get it. It was the last time we ordered from there.

Honestly, the BLT was one of the worst vegan dishes I have ever had at a vegan restaurant. I have been a vegan for 15+ years, and this dish tasted wrong. I do not think enough thought was put into the flavor profile. I also think relying on tempeh as a protein source for most dishes is a mistake. The drinks were good though and the environment and staff were great.

Hi Joanna, I'm sorry the BLT missed the mark for you. It's been a very popular sandwich for years. You should try our Crispy Cesar Wrap next time around, I think you'll love it. We appreciate your thoughtful feedback about flavors and tempeh. We make our own Tempeh through our sister company Noble Bean Tempeh; that explains why it's our main protein in many dishes. Glad you enjoyed the drinks and our team's hospitality :)

Tried their Caro Thai, which was not even close to what the dishes are in Thailand or the Thai authentic taste/flavours It was just a mix of vegetables cooked with coconut milk, no khafir, lemon grass etc Bland and tasteless

🤢😵‍💫 I stoped by for a healthy lunch yesterday late afternoon. I had the Dragon bowl, with tempeh. Afterwards I was not feeling too good. I started having nausea in the evening, stomach cramps, and feeling very weak. A few hours later was very sick and ever had a fever. It lasted all night and Im still sick today. I had a full blown food poisoning after eating the Dragon Bowl from Aux Vivres. Lost a whole day of work.

I usually have a good experience at Aux Vivres. However tonight, when my friend went to pick her order up, she noticed that her cup of smoothie had ice in it, which was unusual. At $8 a smoothie, we'd expect no ice cubes. When she asked the server at the counter if she could get a smoothie without ice, she replied it wasn't that cold outside (?). My friend let it slide, but then she left to prepare the soup and put it with the rest of my friend's order near the kitchen counter. My friend had to ask another server to get her order, because she never came back. When my friend got home I opened the soup and pulled out a very long blonde hair from it, it was litterally sitting at the top of the soup. It was kind of surprising that someone with really long hair would have it loose, not tied in any way, and handle food.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your recent experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify a couple of points to avoid any misunderstanding: • Our smoothies have always been blended with ice as part of their standard preparation. This ensures the proper texture and temperature, and this has not changed. • Regarding the soup: what you found in the Dahl is almost certainly a ginger filament. Dahl contains freshly grated ginger, and thin strands can sometimes resemble hair in appearance. Additionally, none of our kitchen staff have blond hair, and all employees are required to follow strict hygiene protocols, including proper hair restraint at all times. We regret that this situation caused concern and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. If you’d like, we would be happy to discuss this further or offer a replacement for the items in question. Please feel free to contact us directly so we can help make things right. Thank you again for your loyalty to Aux Vivres.
