Review: I'm definitely more of a fan of the sister restaurant, Perfection-Satisfaction-Promise (also known as Painted Potato to some), but the location of this place makes it a great option for vegans and vegetarians who are shopping in the market, and want something yummy and filling. If you're generally looking for downtown though, PSP is the better of the two.
PG caters more to the market crowd with a lot more faux meat options than PSP. It's hard to review it because it seems like the meal is hit or miss depending on who's doing the cooking that day. I've had the tofu steak served to me in many different ways... some delicious, others not so much.
However, there is always soup or dahl on, and they are generally no-fail. Salads are simple and straight-forward, which can be hard to find sometimes! There's also a lot of wraps to go, and a wider selection of desserts in the form of cookies and bars, if that's your thing - I recommend the BGoods bakery cookies when they're there. Also, it's a quiet location (in the Le Droit building), which makes it a nice place to get away from crowds.
Pros: location! * healthy, vegan friendly *
Cons: small space * some dishes are hit and miss * |

Review: We visited this restaurant for breakfast. The service was slow, but friendly and knowledgeable. Items on the menu and on display on the counter weren't always (as other reviews have noted,) labelled as vegetarian or vegan, but the person working there - who seemed to be one of the owners - seemed happy to clarify on ingredients and tell us which items were indeed vegan. The place looked clean and there was frequent staff hand washing - with soap. Off-beat, but cozy and, well, peaceful atmosphere. The only con would be that I found it a little pricey. Two breakfasts (tofu scramble, potatoes, toast, veggies,) and two peanut butter chocolate cookie bar things for later on came to $24-something. Overall, however, I would recommend this restaurant.
Pros: * *
Cons: * * |

Review: My wife and I were downtown in Ottawa and wanted to find a vegetarian / vegan place to eat near the National Gallery and
Parliament Hill so luckily this place was quite nearby. It's inside a small mall of other shops but is numbered clearly outside. The location is fairly small but has an interesting decor.
We ordered the vegetable soup (about $3), the "un-burger" (about $6, teriyaki rice with tofu (about $7) and the veggie dog (about $4). We also ordered some small cookies and a muffin for later (between abut $1.50 and $2 each).
The soup was very good and was much appreciated on a chilly morning. The veggie burger had a great patty (I asked what brand it was but the guy who served us said that information couldn't be given out) but I found the organic bun to be a bit tough.
I think that a small pile of home-cut fries would have gone better than the lettuce leaf, beat and carrot shavings and slices of cucumber since they seemed more like a way to fill the rest of the plate to me.
My wife's teriyaki rice with tofu was quite bland yet very salty. The smoked-flavour veggie dog seemed ok but I'm not a fan of veggie dogs as they seem a bit mushy in general. My wife wishes it was labelled as smoked-flavour because she would have gotten something else if that were the case.
To sum up, some of the food was good but some was "just ok". The location is very good for those wanting to check out Parliament Hill and the museums.
Pros: some good food * nice decor * near museums/Parliament
Cons: some items not labelled (vegan/veg) * bit pricey * needs more accurate menu |

Review: If the charming atmosphere of this bistro doesn't get you, the smile and shine of the employees' faces will. The food is prepared with care, to a strict standard. The menu offers a wide range of vegetarian and vegan foods. Food is served promptly even at peak times. It's really a jewel in the business.
Pros: Wholesome, exquisite food * Compassionate staff * Prices below expectations
Cons: Can be warm inside * Hard to find a seat * Don't speak French |
