"Thankfully close to home"   My Rating

	Review: I live a ten minute walk from this veggie buffet. And i am in LOVE with their Tofu Broccoli Stirfry. If you are not Vegan, their Lasagna is always good as well. Their Yam Salad is great, as is their Avocado Saland..mm...desserts aren't that thrilling. The negatives are that it is a buffet so the food isn't always HOT, and it is a bit pricey, especially for a place that requires you to clean up your own mess and serve your own food. However, I still love it here. I just wish they would be more creative, especially with all of the Raw options becoming available, and how about some VEGAN cheese on that menu. I'm not a vegan, but I have friends that are that would enjoy this restaurant much much more if that were available. BRing some creativity back into the kitchen!   Pros: Fast * Friendly Staff * Tofu Stirfry Cons: Pricey * Un-creative * Lack of Vegan Options

"Meh"   My Rating
7 jessienotj ames	Posted on: Wednesday, July 15, 2009
	Review: The food is fine, but frankly, it's not thrilling. Vegan options are definitely there, but they're somewhat lacking in creatively. Personally, I find that the kitchen takes too long between refills, and allows the food to get cold. Vegan dessert options are minimal. GD has just never really done it for me. I prefer The Table - it's pretty much identical, but there's more for vegans and the food is refilled more quickly. And, when you're paying by weight ($18.25?!?! The day I did got charged that, my jaw hit the floor. One plate, plus soup, for lunch), I want those two things. But it's not bad. Just not thrilling.   Pros: accomodates lactos and vegans * healthy * lots of space Cons: cost * time to refill * cost again

"Great place to gather for a healthy meal"   My Rating
17 TRaeCH	Posted on: Saturday, June 27, 2009
	Review: I ate at the Green Door while on a quick day trip from Montreal. The location is great: a university block that is a short bike ride from downtown and Parliament. The was a wide selection of food, mostly delicious from what I sampled, and all was clearly labeled. Even though the place was very busy it didn't take too long to fill my plate and chow down. I've been to the Commensals in Montreal as well as the one in Toronto and Green Door is easily my preferred 'weigh & pay' vegetarian restaurant that I have visited.   Pros: Selection * Quality * Location Cons: * *

"That was it??"   My Rating
3 zafinonuta	Posted on: Monday, October 13, 2008
	Review: Perhaps I have been spoiled by Vancouver vegitarian fair, but this place was a bit of a let down. The food (for example beets) were not cooked or seasoned as well as could have been, nor were the desserts very creative. It was very hard to read the labels and figure out what was vegan and/or raw. The prices were not great, but also not terrible, however the service was sub-par. I believe the food would have been better if fewer items were put on the menu and those items prepared with more care and attention. I will not be comming back as it is more worthwhile of my time to create 2 or 3 delicious items at home (for less money) than to wade through a mediocre buffet.   Pros: vegan food * gluten free desserts * saves time Cons: mediocre food * bland * poor service

"My favourite place to eat in Ottawa"   My Rating
2 mouchette1	Posted on: Saturday, July 12, 2008
	Review: The Green Door is in a very convenient location, only minutes from downtown Ottawa and is a green place to go with a bunch of friends or for a quick bite. The first time I went was for Mother's Day and we stayed a long time, with great food for everyone. My family is not even vegetarian, but they liked the food a lot. The Spanakopita was the only thing that wasn't a hit, but I didn't try it since I'm vegan. I did try the most delicious cake I've ever eaten in my entire life. The mocha cake is positively delightful. And the tofu stir-fry with broccoli and other vegetables was so good it made re-evaluate how I tend to cook tofu at home. The only downside I would say is a rather limited menu for vegans. The food is very clearly labeled, so that's not a problem. I'd say maybe a third or half of what they serve is suitable for vegans. Other than that, there's great seating, great atmosphere and a very friendly staff. For a regular lunch, it cost me about $6.   Pros: Great food * Great atmosphere * Easy service Cons: Limited menu * Not totally vegan *

"Good healthy food"   My Rating
5 Carine	Posted on: Thursday, March 06, 2008
	Review: Good food, somewhat expensive, food is buffet style so cold. It is a good alternative to a home cooked meal as it is healthy. I just wish the food was warmer. Seating is cafeteria style so could be more comfortable.   Pros: Good food * healthy * Cons: Pricey * cold food * could be better ambiance

"Hairy experience"   My Rating

	Review: Review: I have found more hair in my food here than I wish to think of. The food here is made by hippies and it tastes like it's made by hippies. Overpriced and the desserts look terrific and taste like sand.   Pros: * * Cons: not clean * not that good * overpriced

"Pretty good."   My Rating
3 globalrevo lutionnow	Posted on: Wednesday, August 22, 2007
	Review: The food at the Green Door is really good. It's pretty pricey, doing by weight, considering a plop of rice costs nothing to make... The staff can be a bit abrupt and snappy, but it's still a good place to go for lunch after a bike along the river. Good food is good food. It's a nice place to see people you know too.   Pros: really good food * healthy food * lots of variety Cons: expensive * not always very welcoming *
