Très bien en général

En général, très bonne expérience!
Le plateau de fauxmage : vraiment bon!!
Le plat de lasagne était super bon et la salade de césar vraiment top.
Le pot-pie au "poulet", je ne sais pas si c'était une erreur du chef ou si c'est réellement la recette, mais il y avait vraiment trop de clou de girofle, ça ne goûtait que ça.
Le dessert de gâteau au fauxmage : réussi.

Pros: Tout est végane, Options végétarien (oeufs, fromage au lait)

Cons: Un peu cher, Les plats sont pas consistants entre eux, Certains très bons plat, d'autres moins

Too expensive for the not too great quality of the food

The menu looked absolutely amazing but when we received the food it did not reach up to our expectations.

It was a bit confusing to order food and make sure it was vegan/gluten free and my main entrees had to be replaced.

Staff friendly but overall the place needs improvement; lower prices or better food for the high price.

Pro: PERFECT creme-brûlée

Pros: Cute environment , Great wine options , Very good creme-brûlée

Cons: Unclear gluten-free options, Too expensive , Food a bit tasteless

Hmm...

Very fancy location, but the quality of the food did not reach the high price tag. Although you have to try the creme brûlée.

Pros: Great creme brûlée , Beautiful location , Good poutine gravy

Cons: Expensive , Dry burger

Bad experience

Review is a bit late - we came back in the summer. We arrived shortly before brunch ended but they said they could take us. They ended up sitting us in a table of 4, sitting right next to 2 other people which was a bit awkward. We ordered the vegan omelette and some other bowl that looks like it has been removed from the menu (had lentils, vegan sausage and the rest I forget. The bowl was way too oily and savoury - it didn't taste good - good to see that it was removed from the menu. The vegan omelette was something else.. It came on a mini butcher's block and had so much oil that a puddle had dripped onto the table over the course of the meal. The taste wasn't anything special but the excessive oil really did not help. Might come back one day, but definitely not for brunch.

Cons: Way too much oil, Bad seating

Beautiful Restaurant and Delicious Vegan Food!

LOV was a really cute and charming vegan restaurant located in an historic building in downtown Montreal. The interior was beautifully decorated and it had a modern and upscale feel, with lots of plants and comfortable seating. I loved the atmosphere!

I ordered the Power Bowl salad and it was delicious. The menu had lots of great options!

The restaurant was within close walking distance from Old Montreal, making it very convenient to visit.

Modern & great flavours!

The decor is modern and rich looking. They have swing seats in the back that I wonder if anyone uses. We went for lunch time on a weekday. It got really busy and loud! I ordered the soup of the day which was delicious and a zucchini pasta plate with truffle sauce (smelled strange but was so tasty!). I love trying on new flavours so it made me happy. The kimchi fries are a must try. My boyfriend ordered a jackfruit burger and said it was just ok.

Pros: Quick service, Tasty & flavourful, Modern nice fancy decor

Cons: Loud, Noisy, Crowded

almost entirely vegan

Pretty much everything on the menu is vegan, including desserts. The place was very busy, even on a Wednesday, so try to get a reservation. Make sure to book the reservation a few hours in advance. The food is very good, though it is on the expensive side. The portions are medium sized. The vegan cheese is very good. The service was fairly fast, considering how busy it was.

Pros: good food

Cons: expensive

Good food

Food was delicious! Every dinner dish was made vegan then you could pay extra to add an egg or real cheese. My family ordered a bunch of dishes to try and all were great. My favorite was the mushroom risotto. Only down side was the service was a bit slow. We saw our food sitting under heat lamps for five - ten minutes before our waiter brought it to us (he was busy talking to the other waiters).

Pros: Lots of vegan food, Nice atmosphere

Cons: Slow service

Not in Lov

First, the good news: When you walk into this beautiful, buzzing restaurant with its funky decor and chattering diners, you feel that plant-based food has arrived. But however gorgeous and inviting a dining space might be, ultimately a restaurant lives or dies by the quality of its food. We had high expectations. Sadly, they were only half-met. The Lox Bagel was nice enough, and vaguely smokey-flavoured, but it lacked oomph. The Tofu Omelette was similarly bland and the Lumberjack, although very good in parts, overly salty. The Pancakes with Apple Sauce looked good but suffered from an over-abundance of cinnamon. Everything was beautifully presented, service was very good and the funky washroom as gorgeous as the dining area. Yet one left with the uneasy feeling that what one had experienced was the triumph of form over function.

Busy lunch spot!

We were there at a weekday for lunch and it was all packed! Fortunately we didn't have to wait long to get a table. I had a kale mac-n-cheese and it was delicious! I really like the vibe of the restaurant and clearly it is a popular spot. I look forward to visit LOV again.

lots of vegan options, great service

The food was tasty, and I appreciated the wide variety. I do wish that the music volume had been lower, because I enjoy being able to talk with friends without straining to hear. Our server was very helpful and efficient.

Pros: variety of vegan options, great service

Cons: music too loud for easy conversation , need more places for coats in winter

Very nice space, great food

This is a gorgeous space, playing nice chilled music and offering a wide variety of options. Everything on the menu had the vegan symbol next to it. Staff were friendly and attentive.

I had the Big LOV burger and Poutine...both tasty and filled me up! I think it’s good value for money but I’m converting from GBP so everything is good here and I always forget about the bloody tax!

Super Tasty!

We had a few of the small plates since we arrived 15mins before the kitchen opened for dinner. The vegan poutine, jackfruit fritters, and kale Mac n cheese were AMAZING! The LOV Burger and chickpea burger were also amazing!!!! The decor of the place is beautiful and staff could simply not do enough and were SO nice and helpful! Definitely recommend everything about this place! :)

Pros: everything can be made vegan

great Veg in Montreal!

LOV is a terrific vegan/vegetarian joint in Montreal, just on the border of the old city. It has a hip vibe & was packed late on the Monday evening I ate here. The vegan poutine is a must have. The miso gravy is amazing!
