I made reservations for late Wednesday night at this venue in the Old Port, curious about the hype and the opening of a second location downtown. The place was packed as was the terrace so you definitely need reservations! The venue itself, white wash stone walls, hanging light fixtures and tropical touches is pretty and charming. We sat at the bar which was comfortable but tight if you intend to eat many small plates at once.
Having been vegan for many years, my expectations were high! I can say that the food overall was good. The dishes are creative and refined compared to other vegan venues in Montreal. We ordered the kimchi fries, kale mac n' cheese, eggplants, and the Big LOV burger; the mac n cheese was a little dry but the rest was tasty and filling!
The wine list is mostly composed of natural wines and they offer a good selection; it took us three tries before finding a good white wine and even at that, we were not convinced. Stick to the cocktails which are light and refreshing.
The service was a little slow at first as it took a while to take our drink order but flowed better after our food order probably cause it had quieted down; the food literally came out in less than 10 minutes!!
Overall, it was a good experience but would mostly go back for a cocktail and burger if I were in this touristy area.
