Viva Aux Vivres!

Rated this place:

Fresh, innovative, organic-vegan restaurant on trendy boulevard St. Laurent, Aux Vivres serves up hot and cold soup options, sandwiches, chapattis, salads, smoothies and freshly squeezed juices. Delicious toppings include tapenade, hummus and roasted red peppers. A big seller is the BLT wrap – sans B. Instead, bacon is replaced with smoked strips of coconut that are big on taste without the greasy guilt. Try the Dragon Bowl – tofu, brown rice and tahini topped with crisp, fresh vegetables. A great option for health conscious foodies.

This vegan hole-in-the-wall-gone-upscale eatery is a veritable treasure trove of delicious veggie food-booty. Even the most sceptical of granola-hating carnivores would be hard-pressed to find fault with the place. You'd swear their "BLT" wrap contains bacon. Excellent staff, great menu, warm atmosphere - and a stellar weekend brunch!

Rated this place:

As a non-vegan, I am especially picky about vegan food. Don't you notice how people tend to make vegan food sound sooo good, just because it's vegan? "Amazing" vegan food is usually just "mediocre" when compared with ALL food. So when my hippie friends dragged me along to this place, I was skeptical. Would it have that bland tofu taste? Would it even fill me up? But after becoming so full that I couldn't finish my DELICIOUS mushroom burger, I was humbled. Truly tasty.
