Aux Vivres St Laurent - Montréal

We ordered the Dragon and Gyro Wraps for lunch and they were absolute monsters! We only ate half so we could fit dessert. The Dragon sauce is to die for and the Gyro wrap was delicious as well. The desserts weren't anything too special but still really good.

I had the BLT sandwich and added keile, it was so filled that I needed a dog bag at the end. the menu has many healthy options bowls, salads and sandwiches.

Terrific, diverse menu! Got four items for each of us to taste and share, we all fought over the crispy mushroom burger. The bowl, we got the latke one, was so incredibly fresh and colorful, it was delicious and gorgeous! The berry cheesecake was so yummy, and the mango lassi the best I’ve had since going vegan six years ago. The attached little shop had some really fun, different snacks and juices, as well as lots of Takeaway entrées and cakes. His service was exceptional, very friendly and helpful. Just a great experience all around. Updated from previous review on 2021-11-23

I'm disappointed after seeing the overwhelming amount of positive reviews and how this was the first vegan restaurant in Montreal. There is a VAST array of dishes from across the world okonomiyaki from Japan, dahl from India, Mexican burritos, just to name a few. There are also about 6 cakes and tarts, so everyone should be able to find something tempting, and gluten free options are also clearly indicated. The issue is that they are bland and unoriginal. We had a burrito and a okonomiyaki and the flavours were barely there. It also felt like especially the okonomiyaki was off it seems to be optimised for a burger patty rather than the fishy profile it has in Japan and I've definitely seen it done better (try the ramen restaurant Umami in Little Italy instead). It's earthy and well done, and lacks the tones, finesse, and blend of umami and freshness of the inspiration. The desserts were better, tasty, and good creamy textures on the cake and tart fillings (we tried the chocolate peanut butter cake and the chocolate banana tart) but nothing groundbreaking, maybe a 4/5. If I'm coming back to try something it'll be the carrot cake! The look of the venue is 80s/90s dinner, with brown leather benches. I would highly recommend that they modernise the look of the place and also their dishes please add more personality to them!

Everything feels more exciting when you're on holiday, but this is a place I could visit at least twice. The brunch is absolutely delicious, and I'm particularly obsessed with the coconut bacon. Everything I ordered was fantastic to take away, including the cake. I was thrilled to see the malai kofta appetizer on the menu, as it was one of my favorites before I became vegan. We encountered a few language barriers (mostly my fault, not hers), but I can't wait to return. Additionally, the walk to St. Laurent is lovely.
