"This downtown chain brings upscale vegetarian cuisine to the Centropolis with king oyster scallops, beet tartare, tacos, and burgers. The restaurant features the same organic wine and beer list, smoothies, cocktails, brunch options, and Instagrammable blue lavender lattes with pea flower powder — just with better parking." - Erinn Blicher
"With immaculate design and a menu from ex-Crudessence chef Stéphanie Audet, Lov quickly became a hit on the vegetarian scene after opening in 2016. It has since expanded downtown and to Laval and DIX30. The menu is a solid balance of lighter fare (granola, smoothies) and heartier options like burgers and poutines." - Holly Tousignant, Eater Staff
"Already a well-established favourite among Montreal’s vegans and vegetarians, trendy LOV is also great for the gluten-free crowd, with a number of wheat-free dishes (including mushroom risotto, gnocchi and a hearty chili) clearly labelled on the menu. Orders can be placed on LOV’s website or for delivery through UberEats." - Holly Tousignant
"Airy, high-ceilinged LOV (Local, Organic, Vegan) offers a temple to all things green and growing in a white-washed row house located minutes from the bustle of Ste. Catherine Street. Open daily for lunch, dinner, and mid-afternoon snacks, LOV commits to serving only 100 percent plant-based food, complemented with organic beers, biodynamic wines, and creative botanical cocktails. Artfully presented salads, mains, and even burgers and poutine are on offer, with a two-course Express Lunch menu on weekdays and brunch on the weekends. There’s a bistro feel here, with bar seating, cozy booths, marble tables, and a landscaped terrace for the warmer months, when a burbling fountain provides a soundtrack to your meal." - Vox Creative
"At the intersection of innovative cuisine and classic vegan fare, LOV boasts a handful of healthy-ish vegan-friendly burgers. Available at all three of their restaurant locations, their star sandwiches include the barbecue jackfruit burger and the Big LOV cheeseburger (with vegan cheese, natch)." - Kaitlyn McInnis
