The best food - Edit
The food was phenomenal. The service, exceptional. You can tell the food is made with love. I had the taco salad, but also tried the green curry. Brunch is served until 2pm. Highly recommend trying this place.

High gastronomy for low prices - Edit
The dishes were well presented. The flavours of the dishes we ordered were well-balanced. The prices were quite affordable if you consider the fact that fast-food costs about the same price.
Read moreThe kimshi poutine was spicy as kimshi is suppose to be. It was not spicy enough to entice me to drink the pitcher of water the waitress had in hand. It was not greasy like non-vegan poutines are. Fhe fries were just crisp; the skin of the fry is crisp while the inside is soft. The vegan cheese used suprised me as it was not to soft but not too hard as some feta false cheeses are.
The mushroom pizza was perfectly presented. There were not too much mushrooms but not too little. The cheese was not greasy as some cheeses do on frozen Daiya pizzas. The crust was perfectly baked. The outer layer of the crust was baked to bee crispy on the outside and soft enough to be enjoyable.

Astounding! - Edit
Brilliant. Everything we had was mind-blowing. The Bistro Burger is a gourmet burger. The ‘salmon’ Benny (for breakfast) is delicious. Treats are fantastic. love it!! #Veganuary

Decent food with bad service - Edit
Food:
Read more- jackfruit poutine: alright taste-wise but not "gloopy" enough and the cheese was weird, just little cubes
- red pepper gnocchi: really good, several people's favorite
- tomato soup: decent, some said they liked the taste but I was indifferent
- black bean burger: again, OK but nothing special
Service:
The waitress made several comments that struck us all as subtly rude, including "explaining" to us that this was VEGAN cheese in the poutine so of course it looks like that and doesn't melt. Tried to up charge us for the tomato soup when I had ordered it as a side and not an entree, then argued with us when we pointed that out.

Pros: Red pepper gnocchi is great
Cons: Rude waitstaff, Poutine is a miss

Tiramisu - Edit
I tried tiramisu dessert for the first time. With its beautifully layered presentation and satisfying richness, this vegan version faithfully replicates the traditional tiramisu, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a delicious dairy-free treat.

Everything was good! - Edit
Very nice atmosphere in the restaurant with plants everywhere and comfy seating. Food was good and it came really fast. Bathrooms are in the basement and it’s very dark and not very clean.
Read moreKimchi fries - amazing! Highly recommend, great flavour
Buffalo wrap - it was good
Chicken Cesar salad - it was good
Brownie - meh, pretty bland and came with just a spoonful of ice cream. Honeycomb was great
Pastries:
Twix bar - excellent
S’mores Rice Krispie square - excellent
Focaccia - good

PERFECTION - Edit
This restaurant is pure vegan perfection. The menu is so varied and has so many options that it made it hard to choose what to get. We tried the kimchi fries, jalapeño popper grilled cheese, and Seoul noodles. All were delicious. For dessert we tried the lemon meringue which had a ton of fresh fruit and toppings alongside the tart. Our server was so sweet and helpful with choosing from the menu and picking cocktails. We also got a pistachio croissant for the road after our meal and it was unbelievable--actually wish I got 4 to bring back home to stick in the freezer!

Great Vegan Restaurant - Edit
Sadly, I've learned not to expect much in regards to vegan food in Ottawa. Astoria has restored my faith that some people are really trying. Not everything was perfect but it was obvious that the intention was perfection. And it was easily the best vegan food I've had in the Ottawa area so far.
Read morePros: Caesar Salad, Bean Burger, Kimchi Fries
Cons: Menu dependent on too much factory vegan food., Plastic plants and chairs., A bit pricey.

A lovely little restaurant - Edit
Astoria is a nice little restaurant in Gatineau, QC, across the river from Ottawa, where my boyfriend and I were staying. We decided to go because it looked like a nice place. That they had French onion soup was another plus. We arrived around 6:00 p.m. on a Tuesday and were shown to a table. We naturally ordered a bowl each of the soup, but I think we could have shared that and the Caesar salad (another dish I often order at vegan restaurants). I've had vegan onion soups I've liked better, but this was pretty good.
Read moreFor my entree, I ordered the risotto with king oyster mushroom "scallops," while my boyfriend got the gnocchi. The risotto was perfectly cooked, but I would have liked more mushroom scallops. The gnocchi was also pretty good, but not my favorite.
If your French is rusty, fear not. The servers do speak English, and they do offer English menus (even if the website is primarily in French). If you're in Ottawa, it's worth a trip across the river.
Pros: All vegan, Good service, Tasty food
Cons: A bit expensive

Beautiful Restaurant & Good Food Options - Edit
Fully vegan restaurant with at least 1/3 of the menu also being GF. It was hard to choose what to get, everything sounded delicious and the items on the menu were varied. We ordered off the brunch menu, the breakfast tacos are delicious, the chicken and waffles was a bit bland. I also enjoyed the ambience of this restaurant.

Excellent meal - Edit
We had a lovely meal here, while on holiday in the area. The food was excellent, especially the arancini, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall a very nice restaurant that I would highly recommend. A selection of vegan wine available here as well. The perogi's were a little dry, but overall the meal was good.

The best in the NCR - Edit
This is by far our favourite vegan restaurant in the National Capital Region. We've been many times and have had just about everything on the menu. The only disappointment was the pierogis, which were dry and hard. Everything else, including the cocktails, has been top notch.

Cons: Small menu doesn't change often

Gourmet vegan - not ridiculously priced - Edit
The 'Nouilles Seoul' was spicy, saucy, and the udon was absolutely perfectly cooked.
Read moreThe 'pommes de terre rissolees' that comes with the Bennys were interesting but probably would have been better a as simple hash or wedges.
Arancini was great and came in a delicious marinara sauce.
Save room for dessert next door.
Pros: Reasonably priced, Great gourmet options, Decent portions

Incredible - Edit
Everything looked good and tasted amazing. I tried the pizza, grilled cheese & tomato soup. A little expensive, but worth it. The iced chai latte was the best I’ve ever had. I brought my cats in their stroller, the staff let me go on the terrace and brought a bowl of water for them, very sweet.
