Aux Vivres is a great place to go in Montreal for a fresh vegan meal. The Buddha Bowl with broccoli and the Choco Classique Smoothie are my favorites for lunch/dinner. If I’m in the area I often do pick-up.
This winter morning we had brunch and I loved my coffee, beet, carrot and apple juice and gluten-free granola with soy yogurt and fruit (the small was more than enough for me). My friend Nick also had a gluten-free brunch option, polenta with beans, tofu scramble and guacamole that is amazing. A great brunch with great friends where everyone can eat is always appreciated.
Aux Vivres is a great option for gluten-free friendly food in the Plateau. There are dishes with gluten so always double check that what you are ordering is gluten-free.
UPDATE July 2015: I just visited Aux Vivres and noticed that they have removed all the GF signs from their menu as there is a risk of cross contamination in the kitchen. All the bowls and salads are still considered safe but they are no longer identifying items as GF on the menu.

Nick was very happy with his brunch…
Coffee and fresh juice is the best way to wake up
Catching up with friends over great food and keeping warm.

This place looks delicious! Have you eaten at L’express on St. Denis? I am going there for a dinner and am wondering if you’ve had a good celiac dining experience there.
Hi Mia. I ate there recently and I had a great meal and they were knowledgeable on what was gluten-free. They adapted the salad for me and I had salmon with spinach as my main and had no problems. My meal was simple but delicious. Enjoy!
