Disappointing, I expected far better - Edit
The main course Kung Fu Burger was two bits of tasteless breadcrumb-coated deep fried tofu, carelessly assembled with massive chunks of raw red cabbage, served with fries that were simultaneously undercooked and cold. For $16. Damn, an epic rob for something so bang-average and indeed borderline unpleasant. Nowhere near as good as a Copper Branch bagel, and over double the price.
Read moreIt's a pity, as the starter - fried brussel sprouts with Buffalo sauce - was borderline excellent. The house white wine was great. The service was pretty good. And the venue is cute, nice atmosphere, very busy on a Saturday night.
But I was so disappointed with my main course I decided not to bother with dessert. I won't be going back.
Pros: fried brussel sprouts with Buffalo sauce, cute venue, decent wine
Cons: below average burger at a way above average price, cold undercooked fries

Classy vegan restaurant in Downtown Montreal - Edit
I decided to update the review I posted 2 years ago and give them 5 stars because - wow - my most recent experience here was amazing! I'm so happy to see classy vegan restaurants popping up around Montreal.
Read moreThe breaded mushroom burger was delicious - it was basically crispy oyster mushrooms in a brioche bun with herb mayo. It's only 1$ extra to change your fries to sweet potato fries but I highly recommend it. They also have several nice cocktails I'd like to try next time. Service was quick and friendly. Location is great, close to McGill University and Downtown Montreal. Overall, I love this restaurant!

Beautiful place - Edit
I love LOV. The decor is modern and so beautiful. It’s the perfect place to dress up a little bit and show your friends and family how amazing vegan restaurants can be. The menu is diversified and they also have some seasonal options. I have been there many times. I would definitely recommend to try the cheesecake (when available). It’s honestly the best vegan cheesecake I ever had!! Otherwise, I never take the same thing, I like to try something new everytime and I haven’t been deceived yet. Note that the portions are quite small, so if you’re really hungry it’s better to take an appetizer as well. They also have so very fun and original beverages.

The food is overall quite good, and now it is entirely vegan, which is pretty cool.

Everything on the menu is plant based!!!!!! When I asked for a drink that was sweet my waiter was able to recommend the perfect drink for me. They also boxed all of my food up for me when I was done. Pleasant experience!

Mediocre effort from kitchen - Edit
Wish I could say it was great but their brunch is pretty disappointing. Even if the taste was good all the items we ordered were served at room temperature. There didn’t seem to be any excuse for that. Poor effort from the kitchen. Maybe dinner is better.

Nice vegan restaurant - Edit
The restaurant has a really nice atmosphere and of course it's a great thing that they have an all-vegan menu. We went there twice, once for dinner, once for brunch on the weekend. While the entrées and the main dishes we had for dinner were amazing (Tofu coleslaw burger, chili), the brunch didn't reach the same level (avocado toast, the classic) - but it's still a very good place to get some vegan food😄

Overhyped - Edit
I don't know why this place has so many good reviews. It's really not that amazing. I've had some good meals here but nothing excellent. Their desserts aren't really good. Their poutine is bad. The beet tartare is bad. The meals are a bit boring in taste to be honest. And they don't know how to make decent vegan portions.

A hidden gem - Edit
The ban mi was amazing! They let me have a side of poutine with it. It was a little salty but 100% hit the spot. The wait staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Try the hot lemonade - surprisingly different
