I'm completely blown away by this restaurant. Initially, when suggested this place I was a little hesitant to try it out. They have another location on McGill College that I didn't have a great experience. However, the LOV on de la Montagne is a completely different experience.
First of all, let me just rave about the decor and ambiance. When you're walking in, they have a beautiful outdoor patio/terrace. During this winter season, they have it decorated with lovely Christmas lights and trees. It gets even better when you walk inside though. Their decor remains in the same theme as the other location, with a predominantly white/green color scheme. Such a gorgeously designed restaurant and they spared no detail when decorating.
The only thing better than the decor was the food itself. My friend and I ordered the basil/arugula pesto gnocchi, stuffed portobello mushrooms, and the kimchi fries. I'd highly recommend the kimchi fries, it's excellent and perfectly seasoned! Their food is delightful and fresh. You can tell immediately that they're using high-quality fresh ingredients. Was thoroughly impressed with all the dishes and can't wait to come back and try out more. It's quite rare to find a vegan/vegetarian upscale dining experience that isn't completely overpriced. LOV manages to hit the ball out of the park and you will enjoy every single aspect of your dining experience.
This restaurant experience is equivalent to receiving a beautifully wrapped gift only to find out it gets better and better as you start to unwrap it. Don't waste time debating a restaurant choice and get yourself to LOV asap.
