Vegans and health-food enthusiasts will appreciate Aux Vivres, and if you’re the kind of person who thinks vegan food is bland, then this restaurant will show you a thing or two about flavors. With fruit smoothies like the choco-classique and sandwich wraps like veggie-lox packed with capers on offer, they've also got a veggie version of smoked salmon wrapped in a homemade chapati. They even serve a macrobiotic bowl with brown rice, kraut and sea veggies. Lots of variety, organic ingredients and an eye for quality, along with the patio in the back of Aux Vivres, makes it a premiere dining spot.
