| - First of all I'm a bit of a carnivore, but having eaten my fair share of poutine the night before I was dying for some healthy food!
Luckily on my trip to Montreal, my lovely friend and host is vegetarian and this was the first place she took me to and boy was I pleased! Aux Vivres is bright and lively, beautifully furnished with a cool trendy atmosphere. Reminds me of a diner but with a brand new juice bar and with wooden furnishings. Tres Cool.
There's a good selection of smoothies, fruit juices, espressos, teas, organic everything - then sandwiches, burgers, rice bowls, and more! They even had a glossary of terms for non-vegans like me that don't know what Tempeh was!
I got the Tofu Burger ($11) with an Organic Soda (2.50). The Tofu burger has this great oniony/mustardy spread and it came with yummy hand cut chunky wedges with a chipotle tomato sauce, and some coleslaw. Everything was pretty tasty - but I kinda looked over and wish I'd gotten the Aux Vivre burger now! My friend got a Souvlakian plate(?) and she said it was really good.
All in all DEFINITELY would come back here, get a smoothie and try a bowl - the food is so bright, colorful and healthy it makes me happy to not have any Poutine for awhile!
