Bacon without the bacon? Believe it. Aux vivres has garnered a reputation as the pre-eminent vegan eatery in the city, whipping up savoury dishes sans animal products of any kind. Entrées include their soup of the day (always a treat), pizza and chapattis, but be sure to save some room for your sandwich, a two-handed endeavour that comes in Middle Eastern and pan-Asian flavours. The plate of the day varies from warm (e.g. veggie chili) to cold (artfully prepared raw bowls – mmm…), and never disappoints. Boho decor makes this a homey experience, and kids are most definitely welcome.
