Aux Vivres Plateau

A very vast menu of delicious vegan meals, bols, wraps, smoothies and desserts! We loved everything we had. Very nice freindly, helpful service too.
For either eating in or take out it always hits the spot.

Came in with high expectations as Aux Vivres has been around for years and boasts as "first vegan restaurant in Montreal". Starting with drinks, we ordered a kombucha and mango lassi. The mango lassi was tasty and reminded me of the flavor of dried mangos. My husband's kombucha wasn't as carbonated as he was expecting and considered it mediocre, not good not bad.

I enjoyed my Bali Bowl despite accidentally drowning it in accompanying dressing. Caution: use dressing sparingly bc what is provided was not portioned correctly.. I only used 70% of what came with my bowl and my veggies were swimming. My husband was underwhelmed by his okonomiyaki bowl. While he liked the sauce, the flavor of his bowl was overwhelmingly beet-forward. After picking out the raw shredded beets (a baseball's size worth), he was able to enjoy his bowl more.

Service was great and the environment was bright and inviting earning this experience a solid 3.5 stars. The other customers seemed comfortable and pleased with their orders. It could be that our selection was to blame; wish we had ordered something else besides our bowls!

Always a good and safe place for VEGANS.
Their menu slightly change year to year, which makes it fun to discover new plates.
I wish we had one in the north Shore!

Servers are courteous an adapt to your different needs.

As far as ambiance goes, even crowdy, I like the vibe. Not too loud, and very relaxed atmosphere.

A must!

I can't decide between 4 or 5 stars and typically that would be an automatic 4. But I feel like my memory is playing tricks on me. I thought I liked it a lot better than I remember liking it. So I'm going with instinct. 5 stars.

It was so nice to come to a city with a ton of vegetarian and vegan options for my wife - typically we have to go to NYC or Asheville, NC, for that. Aux Vivres is a perfect lunch choice for anyone, vegan or not. It's a vegan restaurant but you will love the food even if, like me, you aren't vegan yourself.

It was a cold day so I started with a hot bow of potato and chickpea curry. Just delicious. Not really spicy but still with that flavorful and warming curry flavor.

Moved on to the dragon wrap. This was huge, full of grilled tempeh, and a bunch of veggies with a side of dragon sauce. I love a sandwich or wrap that's something more than lettuce and tomato. This had a blend of veggies that made it colorful and light and very tasty. No idea what was in the dragon sauce, but I liked it too.

I believe I liked my wife's tempeh Thai tacos better though. Maybe that's why I'm waffling between 4 and 5 stars, but whatever. This place has a wide variety to choose from and everything is good. I am sure you'll find something you like.

My first visit here happened to be a traumatic experience.
I ordered the Deluxe bowl. In the middle of digging the food from this bowl, I found a brown hand towel inside the dish!! At first, I couldn't identify what it was. Because it was entirely soaked with beet water, I was wondering if it was a bunch of red seaweed. It was a whole brown paper towel. Yikes! I called the waitress and she asked me if I wanted to continue eating the dish... Nope!! Although she didn't charge for the bowl and offered a dessert for free, this is not good...

Tried their mango lassi and Bombay bowl. The portion size was perfect, and the mango lassi was one the best I've ever had.
Bombay bowl was ok. The staff was nice and friendly.
The restaurant stays open till late, so that's very convenient.

All of the food was absolutely incredible and we had such a wonderful experience. The chefs clearly know what they're doing and the service was so incredibly warm. It's a little gem of a place that's a must-go, especially if you're craving authentic indian cozy food among other things! Thank you again! P.S.: We had the malai kofta thali, which hit home; the mango lassi was perfect, the chilli had elements of the chaat yogurt you put in chaat papdi. Everything was super fresh and the brownie was so soft and delicious.

This is the O.G. extant vegan resto in Montréal. This is premium karma free cuisine! Life is more scrumptious when you eat with compassion for all living beings; the sun shines a little brighter and the chirps of birds singing are a little more beauteous when you endeavour for your actions to not cause the suffering of others. This food is delicious, healthful, and ethical.

You cannot go wrong with your choices here. Pretty much everything is amazing. I got hooked on Aux Vivres fare with their dragon bowl. The dragon sauce is like the most delicious sauce I've ever tried; I never thought nutritional yeast could taste so good. You can hardly believe you're eating a huge serving of raw vegetables.

The dal is absolutely scrumptious; one hundred percent the best dal cooked by someone who is not of Indo-Canadian heritage. Try a dal with a side of brown rice.

The Thai tacos are really delicious. The latkes are superb. I love the lox sandwich. The Mumbai bowl is excellent and so is the Mexican bowl. The gyro is pretty damn delicious.

All of the beverages are beautiful but that mango lassi is on point.

Now they've got you covered when it comes to sweets. The cheesecake is beautiful. The apple pie is amazing. The chocolate cake is sumptuous. But the best best best thing ever here is the spicy chocolate brownie. It will knock your socks off.

Easily the best vegan brunch I have ever had. I only wish there was a place like this closer to where I live!

My sister and I have now been here three times--once back in May and twice while visiting Montreal last weekend. It's our absolute favorite because the food is SO. GOOD. The brunch portions are huge and filling. All of the food is so delicious that you'll forget you're eating vegan. I highly recommend the polenta with beans. For anyone who is skeptical of vegan food, YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE. It will change your mind. Guaranteed.

The space is clean and cute. Plenty of seating. Great atmosphere. Typically a young crowd--both as staff and customers. Nice plants around as decor. All of the staff is bilingual in French and English.

Love this place! Very generous portions and always very tasty. I've had the caesar salad a couple times, as well as their burrito plate -- both very good. Their sandwiches are great too.
