Best Vegan Restaurants in Montreal

"With immaculate design and a menu from ex-Crudessence chef Stéphanie Audet, Lov quickly became a hit on the vegetarian scene since opening in 2016, and it has since expanded downtown and to Laval and DIX30. The menu is a solid balance of more health-conscious, "granola" fare, hearty options like burgers and poutines, and items in between like the "smoked beet" sandwich. Takeout orders can be placed online, and delivery is supported by UberEats."

"The picture-perfect vegan-friendly vegetarian chain that is LOV doesn't skimp on the details, whether you visit its Old Montreal or downtown location. Pair its Instagrammable decor with an order of kimchi fries, tempeh steam buns, or a smoothie. It's a great spot to hang before a night on the town."

"A staple on the Montreal vegan food scene in my times, Aux Vivres is still going strong, and has even expanded its dining room and opened a take away counter next door. In fact, it is more popular than ever – with great reasons. The food is incredible and will satisfy vegans and carnivores alike with offers such as bowls (the dragon bowl is a classic favourite!), sandwiches and salads and the famous weekend brunch."

"One of the city's first vegan restaurants, Aux Vivres debuted on St. Dominique in Montreal's Plateau neighborhood back in 1997. Twenty years later, they've since moved to their Boulevard Saint-Laurent location and are opening a second Aux Vivres in Westmount. They're even packaging and distributing their products to over 150 grocery stores, college campuses, cafès, and hospitals in and beyond Montreal."

"Montreal's vegan claim to fame has its grocer side up and running, but its range of sandwiches, soups and more are available for order as well."

"Lola Rosa serves up vegetarian fare with global influences that is hearty enough to satisfy even the most voracious of carnivores. Their comforting food has become a favourite of many Montreal residents and can now be found at 4 distinct locations from Old Montreal to Mile End, each with its own unique offerings and ambiance. When you’re there, make sure you check in the drawers of the table and you’ll find tender and quirky notes left behind by past diners."

"Address: 4581 Avenue du Parc, Montréal, QC H2V 4E4Phone: (514) 843-5652Hours: Mon-Tue 5pm-9:30pm, Wed-Thu 11:30am-9:30pm, Fri-Sat 11:30am-10:30pm, Sun 11am-9:30pmWebsite: http://lolarosa.ca/en/. With three locations in Montreal and an extensive menu, Lola Rosa is a solid choice for any vegetable lover visiting or living in the city. Though the diverse menu primarily caters towards vegetarians, there are a few options for strict vegans."

"Always super friendly but due to COVID has shut down for long periods of time. Really miss coming in and grabbing ..."

"Sushi Momo is an excellent restaurant specializing in vegan sushi and other Japanese specialities. Sushi Momo opened in 2014 and is run by chef Christian Manuel Ventura Alatorre whose innovative sushi creations are very tasty indeed. It is one of the first restaurants in Montreal to serve vegan sushi and amongst those with the most varieties."

"Sushi Momo is a restaurant that perfectly blends the worlds of refined sushi and creative plant-based cuisine. The dishes that are served at Sushi Momo will likely stand out from any other experience at a sushi restaurant you’ve had, and thats why we love it here. A special shout out to the La Vie En Rose roll, and the papaya salad!"

"You wouldn’t think that a combination of the words “vegan” and “sushi” would be very appetizing, but Sushi Momo is here to prove you wrong: their creative menu is entirely free of animal products."

"Bowls, smoothies, salads and sandwiches define the menu at Le Watson, a bright and colourful lunch spot in Little Italy. All the food may be vegan, but they don’t take themselves too seriously. Simple, trendy decor lets the good food simply stand out."

"The stuff of dreams for vegetarians and vegans, Café Dei Campi is the collaborative project of barista Nicola Vardaro (previously of Caffè San Simeon) and pastry chef Isabelle Duchamps (previously of Toqué!). Since opening in 2016, it has slowly been gaining traction, and vegans, vegetarians, and carnivores from all over town are starting to frequent this unassuming Rosemont neighbourhood café for its almost-too-good-to-be-true vegan baked goods and rock-solid coffee program."

"Café Dei Campi is an adorable café located on Boulevard Rosemont that serves an extremely vegan-friendly menu of savoury dishes, as well as delicious baked goods. Everything you will eat at Café Dei Campi is refined and aesthetic, which goes hand in hand with the charming decor. This address is also on our list of the best eco-friendly restaurants in Montreal!"

"This is the place for sweets that could fool the most discerning of non-vegans. With the indoor dining area closed, Dei Campi is running a weekly pick-up operation. The menu changes often, but past options have included fauxtella brownie (pictured here), focaccia with ancestral tomatoes, basil and almond-based ricotta and cranberry and pecan sticky buns"

"The award for freshness on this list goes to the gourmet salad bar, LIV Salades. The menu centers around eight main salads which are the creations of Marie-Josée Elchab who’s always had a passion for coming-up with new and original ways to make salads taste great. This bright, small, Mile-End restaurant is committed to serving fresh ingredients with many produce grown right in their rooftop garden."

"Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul is a multicultural Presbyterian congregation. On Notre Dame Street, near the current location of city hall, was founded. In 1843, St. Paul’s Church was built nearby."

"St. James United Church is a member of the United Church of Canada and is located in downtown Montreal. The Methodist faith was formed in Montreal in 1807, and the community’s development led to the construction of the current church structure on Sainte Catherine Street in 1888. The community fulfills the spiritual needs of individuals of all ages, asserting the value of everyone, regardless of their culture, color, or sexual orientation, including persons with the most diverse abilities who are experiencing problems, as part of a long heritage of dedication to social justice."

"Why: Erected in 1889, the church is a heritage building that also includes the exterior square onto rue Sainte-Catherine and the ground that wraps around to rue Mayor. It is now often used as a multi-purpose venue for cultural, social, and artistic groups."

"When you finish up at the museum continue walking east along Rue Sainte-Catherine, passing by St. James church until you reach Place des Arts. From this point on the street becomes pedestrian-only."

"Driving around Montreal, you might notice a big, rounded, green roof standing tall on the horizon. That roof belongs to St. Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal, the largest church in Canada and a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. At 97 metres, that huge roof — the dome of the Oratory basilica — is the second highest in the world, behind only Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome."

"Saint Joseph’s Oratory or commonly known as L’Oratoire in Montreal is a national shrine and is the largest church in Canada. At the top of L’Oratoire, indulge in amazing views of Montreal that is great for skyline pictures. Make your way up the stairs to the top of L’Oratoire for your fix of epic pictures."

"St. Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal is Canada’s largest church. An imposing example of religious architecture, it’s said to have one of the largest domes in the world. Although I didn’t get a chance to visit at this hour, I understand that the best time for photos here is sunset."

"This Old Montreal hotel’s giving other spas in its neighborhood a run for its money with its combination of thermal circuits, massages and body treatments with full package experiences like its bed filled with warm quartz sand where you receive acupuncture and body massages (not to mention the holistic Kansa Wand foot massages!). Even if you’re looking to keep it cheap, the range of options in the thermal circuit—salt, rain, sauna, steam, herbal and ice therapies—goes for a song at $60 (or $45 if you booked a stay at the William Gray Hotel)."

"The Hotel William Gray has a reputation in Montréal as one of the most elegant and refined accommodations, and its spa is no exception. The hotel occupies two buildings, both of which date back to the 18th century. The spa itself is an extension of the hotel’s luxury services."

"This is the spa you want when you want the full eat-drink-relax-sleep-repeat package. The Hôtel Le St-James alone sports luxury rooms and one of the best restaurants in Old Montreal, but when you’re wondering what to do in between sleeping off a multi-course extravaganza downstairs?. Jump into the steam baths and sauna, hand yourself over to the massage therapists, hit the hot stones or get a body wrap done; it’s all here, inside of a beautiful space featuring the old masonry often found in this historic part of town."

"Sometimes you don’t want to decide what to do next at a spa, and that’s why we like to look to this guided experience in Griffintown. Attendants can take you from one treatment to the next, but the selection of options here merits repeated visits: Climb into a free-standing cryotherapy booth that’s chilled with liquid nitrogen (perfectly safe), white light sessions to induce a hypnagogic state to get your brain pumping out a bit of DMT, using sugar for hair removal, or any one of their other on-the-edge offerings. Come for the innovation, stay for the relaxation."

"Spa Cloud is committed to giving you the best health and wellness experience possible. Spa Cloud aspires to be Montreal’s greenest spa; they’re dedicated to being on the cutting edge of technology and innovation, and they’ll continue to offer you some of the most innovative treatments and therapies. Spa Cloud products are chosen for their beneficial plant and fruit extracts, which give nutrients and advantages while also assisting you in feeling your best."

"Cloud is an appropriate name for this spa, which is filled with natural elements. Entering Spa Cloud can feel, at times, like entering nature itself: wood, soft lights and organic surfaces reign. There is a menu of beauty- and wellness-minded treatments."
