Review: I went here twice only. Just found that it was quite the shock when my meal and my spouse's were weighed.
Lots of $$, not such a big portion.
If you live near here, it is probably ok for you as you'll figure out by trial and error.
Pros: Lot of variety * Excellent desserts *
Cons: Expensive * * |

Review: I visit the Vancouver area several times throughout the year and I am never dissappointed with the veggie/vegan restaurants, and this one is no exception.
The ambiance was very nice and relaxing. I visited G & G around 5pm on a Tuesday so there were not a lot of people and I was pleasantly surprised at how many dishes did not have dairy in them. I tried a little bit of just about everything in the hot food section (very little lol) and everything was delicious and fresh. The chef came out several times to check the food which I appreciated. I also liked how they labeled the food, I didn't have to keep asking "what has milk in it".
I will definitely visit G & G again and I would suggest you do too :-)
By the way, what's up with all the warm water at all of these veggie places lol.
Pros: Location * Spacious * Fresh food
Cons: Paying by the pound * * |

Review: I counted 45 items in the cold buffet, only 3 items are with diary; 25 items in the hot buffet, 3 with diary; 15 items of desserts, 5 with diary. Great food, every time I eat in this place I feel good. It looks to me clean, fresh and healthy in such a serene environment. I don't mind paying $12 or $15 for a complete, delicious and peaceful food. Desserts are unique!
Pros: Excellent food * healthy cuisine * friendly staff
Cons: * * |

Review: this place was nice, but i had a hard time chosing what to eat as all the best looking dishes contained dairy. i ended up with some salad, roasted potatos, and some fruit. not particularly exciting. i've gotta give them props for the nondairy chocolate cream pie though. i wanted to take a whole one home with me!
oh, and as will all pay-by-weight buffets, watch how much you put on your plate. it can get a little expensive.
Pros: vegan chocolate cream pie * *
Cons: too much cheese * * |

Review: Although I say this is a great place for children, this place is very quiet and calm.
Greens and Gourmet is my kids' favorite restaurant in Vancouver. My husband never feels like going (he prefers Foundation and the Naam) so I always go when he's not with us. My children (4 and 6) eat so much healthy food when we go and I like the fact that you don't have to wait (it's a buffet style kinda restaurant.) We really like the somosas, tofu in sweet sauce and the salad bar. I have to say the desserts are not my favorite (taste too healthy for me) but I have yet to find very good vegan sweets in Vancouver.
Pros: no wait * very peaceful *
Cons: * * |

Review: Greens and Gourmet has been serving non violent food for 20 years. We have extensive self serve cold and hot buffets for you to design your own meal, paying by weight. If you are a raw foods person, vegan or vegetarian, you'll be impressed with the choices offered. Personally, I enjoy making my fantasy salad and sampling new dishes like eggplant with green thai curry, or the "mock" meat and chicken dishes.We are not perfect, but we do the best we can. I think all vegetarian restaurants should be commended for their peaceful principles and respect given to all of Gods creatures.
Pros: peaceful atmosphere * friendly staff * fantastic choices of food
Cons: no fixed price menu * no breakfasts * |
