Hipster vegan delight - Edit
LOV is another great place to hit if you’re making the rounds of the Montreal vegan scene. Not as good as the Lola Rosa local chain, but LOV has a fun, hipster atmosphere and some great, unique options. My husband and I went for a late brunch, and I ordered the French toast and he ordered the eggs Benedict. Both were really good and we would definitely go there again.

Wonderful staff and atmosphere. Food could use some work. - Edit
I really wanted to love Lov! It is a beautiful space and the staff was very professional and friendly. My husband and I visited on two separate occasions while in Montreal: once for dinner, and once at an odd hour around 16:00 right before our flight home. Both times, the food just really underwhelmed me.
Read moreMy husband tried the burger for dinner and enjoyed it. I tried the mac and cheese and then zucchini spaghetti with caviar, and both to me were just average, in my opinion. Both dishes needed more flavor, with the latter needing less salt.
For our mid day snack a couple days later, we tried the cheese plate. Now we're from NYC and are lucky to have a plethora of amazing vegan food at our finger tips, so maybe we have really high standards, but the cheese plate was just not very good. I also thought it was strange to serve two crumbly cheeses (Gorgonzola and Feta) on a cheese plate, when those are more salad cheeses and difficult to spread on crostini, but maybe Canadians do that...?
This could just be me picking the wrong food off the menu and not liking it.

Beautiful - Edit
The atmosphere and vibes in this restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. You instantly feel at peace here; it is so serene. I ordered the daily soup (which was a zucchini soup), as well as the poutine and a chai latte. All were incredible.

Sharp Ambiance Dull Chili - Edit
Nice ambiance, like a New York bistro, with prompt though uninspired service -- during the lunchtime rush, anyway. I took the $19 "lunch express". The soup was amazing, really good, but the chili was a little blah, and way too salty. The little bowl of Costco nacho chips including lots of broken ones did not exactly "up" the food experience.
Read morePros: - Amazing soup, - Interesting decor
Cons: - Avoid the overly salty chili

Maintenant tout végan - Edit
Leur nouveau menu est vraiment mieux qu'avant. Ça m'a réconcilié avec la place. J'étais allé il y a quelques mois pour déjeuner et je n'avais pas aimé du tout. Le service n'était pas très sympathique et le déjeuner était fade vraiment. Mais j'y suis retourné pour souper avec leur nouveau menu et c'était vraiment bon. Le service était plus chaleureux. Bref ce resto va dans la bonne direction. Lâchez pas.

My wife and I absolutely love this establishment!! We had brunch twice, and the snack and dinner menu on the 4 visits. Every meal we chose something different and each meal was nothing short of amazing!! The decor, the friendly staff, and food is top notch! So happy to hear there will be a Toronto location soon.

Worth a Try - Edit
Maybe I picked the wrong items but this was the place in the top of my 'vegan list'. I had the Banh Mi Burger and it was kind of just some coated tofu and slaw on a standard bun. However the menu is very expansive and the service was excellent even though I was acting super awkward (unable to speak French). It's also a really cool atmosphere. I'd check it out again to try other options.

Fine, but nothing exceptional - Edit
Cool, rather busy spot with friendly staff and a varied menu. I would’ve loved to try at least five different mains but settled for the chili, which turned out to be a bit “meh” unfortunately. Very simple, without much flavor. The nachos on the side came straight from the bag, it seemed. The dessert menu was a little underwhelming, especially with two options unavailable this particular day. On the plus side, the coffee was delicious.
Read morePros: Lots of options, something for everyone , Flavorful coffee, Free WiFi
Cons: Chili without much love, A bit noisy at 1:30 pm on a Friday, Uninspired dessert menu
