Aux Vivres Plateau

Nestled along the vibrant Boulevard Saint-Laurent in Montréal, Aux Vivres Plateau stands as a beloved haven for vegan cuisine enthusiasts and curious food lovers alike. As one of the city’s pioneering vegan restaurants, it has cultivated a reputation that spans decades—offering not just meals but nourishing experiences that celebrate plant-based living with both heart and flavor.

The culinary offerings here are thoughtfully crafted to delight all senses. The menu brims with creative dishes rooted in wholesome, fresh ingredients. Popular choices such as the hearty Thai and Japanese-inspired bowls are generously packed with an abundance of crisp vegetables, silky tofu, and tempeh. These bowls impress not only with their vibrant colors but also their nourishing balance, appealing to anyone seeking both health and satisfaction on their plate. The tempeh and tofu, while subtly seasoned to let the natural plant flavors shine, make each bite an exploration of texture and freshness.

For something delightfully indulgent yet vegan, the dessert section is sure to catch your eye. Whether it’s the rich walnut brownie that melts decadently in your mouth or the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies that boast a perfect crumb, the sweet offerings are ideal for satisfying any craving. Additionally, new menu items such as crispy quesadillas filled with gooey vegan cheese add a playful twist to traditional flavors, while the Wrap César Buffalo—featuring crispy tofu and smoky coconut bacon enveloped in warm chapati bread—brings a bold, creamy, and spicy bite that truly stands out.

Dining at Aux Vivres Plateau is more than a meal; it's a welcoming, comfortable retreat where the ambiance complements the wholesome fare. The spacious indoor seating is perfect for a relaxed meal, whether you’re stopping for a casual lunch or lingering over dinner.
