Food Processing

Proud of its 20 years, Aux Vivres is a fast-growing company with more than 180 employees. The Group is dedicated to offer food with purpose which is food grown and obtained in a way that respects the well-being of farmers, environment, end customers and consumers.Aux Vivres began as a cozy restaurant on Montreal's Main. Marie-Pierre Michaud opened the restaurant in 1997 to bring her concept of vegan nutrition to Montreal diners. Not long after opening, Michaud hired Michael Makhan. He fell in love with the restaurant and quickly proved to be the top chef at Aux Vivres. In 2001, he became co-owner, and by 2003, he went on to assume full ownership. Michael's brother Liam joined the team during Aux Vivres' major expansion in 2005. Fast forward 10 years, the Makhan brothers' entrepreneurial spirit continued to flourish with the opening of Aux Vivres Cuisine: a food production and distribution centre that distributes delicious vegan take-out food to over 100 retail clients, including Avril, IGA, Rachelle-Béry, Tau, and many other stores around Montreal and Quebec City. Our goal is to continue to grow and distribute, province-wide, and even Canada-wide! Now Aux Vivres counts, a restaurant and retail store on Saint Laurent, a central kitchen and distribution facility to the restaurant, retail and wholesales customers, and a food product manufacturing company dedicated to Tempeh. The latest venture is a second restaurant and a retail shop, soon to open.At Aux Vivres Cuisine, we draw real energy and inspiration from our talented, hard working and resilient team.
