Aux Vivres is one of the few vegan/vegetarian restaurants in Montreal and is located on St. Laurent. It's a great option if you're looking for healthy, fresh and tasty cuisine. The restaurant itself reminds me of a dinner (so it's very casual), and the staff were very friendly. I think they have a terrace somewhere but.... I didn't see it so maybe that's just a rumor ;-)\n\nI started with the Tonic (ginger, lemon, apple) - my immediate reaction was to purse my lips and widen my eyeballs because DAMN it was tart! But it was refreshingly delicious once I got over my sensory shock!\n\nAs a meal, I opted for Le Complet (tofu scramble, Tempeh bacon, cornbread,\nfresh fruit, salad and sweet potatoes). The tofu scramble was good - I liked the texture and flavor. The cornbread was delicious, as were the sweet potatoes. The salad came with this amazing Dill vinaigrette that was so good, I bought a bottle before leaving. The Tempeh bacon did nothing for me. I can't say I enjoyed the taste or texture at all. Overall, the portion size was quite good (for me, anyway) and the price was appropriate ($11 for the plate). I plan to go back and try one of their infamous bowls - I've heard they're amazing!\n\nThey have a small shop out front where you can be pre-made meals, or other items like their vinaigrette, baked goods etc.
