Love Lov

Great food and nice atmosphere, portions are a bit small but it's that kind of restaurant.

They used to have a killer lasagna but I haven't seen it in a while, so try the mushroom risotto.

Disappointing, I expected far better

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.

It'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

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.

The 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!

I’m really not sure how their food is, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.

Delicious!

Loved the atmosphere, service and the food! We ordered quite a few things from the menu and everything was delicious to both myself (vegan) and my non-vegan partner.

Beautiful place

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.

Pros: Decor

My experience at Lov was great. People are nice. The ambience is very green and enjoyable! And the food is wonderful! I came here in August 2020, it’s OPEN now!

Pros: Everything is plant based, Tasty, Elegant

Cons: A bit expensive, Portions are small

Good food cute location

The food is overall quite good, and now it is entirely vegan, which is pretty cool.
I gave four stars because I find the menu lacks a certain creativity and it is on the pricey side.

Friendly Staff - Delicious Nachos!

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

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.

Pros: All vegan, Nice atmosphere

Cons: Pretty mediocre , Not cheap

Nice vegan restaurant

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😄

My boyfriend is allergic to cashews and there are not many brunch options without cashew nuts.

Pros: All vegan restaurant, nice atmosphere, good food

Cons: Not cheap

Overhyped

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.

Pros: Vibe is great, Good location, Friendly staff

Cons: Nothing amazing , Small portions, Expensive for value

A hidden gem

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

Lovely outdoor seating! We ordered a few dishes, wine and cocktails. A little pricey, but worth it for a nice occasion or on vacation.
