Great vegan cafeteria - Edit
I would say five stars but during the Covid scare they only accepted cc or ‘exact change’ which is a dangerous step to take - hopefully that has changed! #Veganuary
Read morePros: All vegan!, Delicious, Cafeteria mix and match dishes
Cons: Not all organic, Only accepts cc or exact change?

I first tried this place years ago and loved it and I am pleased to report that it is still fantastic!! Very convenient buffet style food that is nourishing and satisfying! There is a huge selection and everything is great but I especially love the cornbread and pumpkin

Cafeteria food made vegan - Edit
It's nice to have a vegan cafeteria style restaurant. The food is okay, nothing special nothing bad. We found it to be on the bland side for the most part. Partner wanted some vegan butter to go with the corn bread but they don't offer it.

Amazing! - Edit
Extremely delicious food, we were there for lunch, where there was a buffet and you had to pay by the week. The food was delicious, the selection was really big. Not to be forgotten is the excellent cafe next door. I had an extremely delicious hot chocolate there!

Wholesome food and delectable treats - Edit
This is my town, and I dine at Green Cuisine often. The self-servce buffet has now returned (2023, after Covid). Since the buffet items are sold by weight, in order to dine more cheaply, avoid the heavy items, like potatoes. There are always two good soups on offer, and for a very reasonable price - it's a great value. The focaccia bread is delicious. Stews, shepherd's pie, lasagna, tofu and tempeh dishes, greens and other vegetables, plus salads both green and noodly. As for desserts, my favourite is the sticky ginger cake (known as sticky toffee pudding in the UK), but all the cookies and other sweet treats are excellent too. Oh, and ice cream! The noodle boxes last me at least two meals. The pizzas are great also.
Read moreThe chiller offers housemade tofu, tempeh, sauerkraut, mochi and more.
I've been going to Green Cuisine for more than two decades, and it always satisfies.
Added in 2023: Green Cuisine Café is now beside the buffet room, offering an array of coffees and treats. The ice cream chest has moved in here as well.

Great variety and tasty for a buffet - Edit
I usually eat here at least once during a visit to Victoria.
Read moreI had gotten of the ferry from Port Angeles a few hours earlier and wanted to eat before going to visit a friend.
It always tastes good with a very nice variety.
They had gluten-free vegan corn bread. It goes by weight so choose your options wisely. You are spending the same money for rice as you are for in-house made tempeh.
~14$CDN for a good meal. The corn bread was 1.30$CDN for a slice.
Very nice atmosphere.

So delightful - Edit
Every city needs a hippy dippy vegan place! The food is pretty good and I really appreciate the sugar free pastries. I wish there was more variety or we would go more often. Very happy they have non-coconut based ice cream options too.

Vegan Buffet Style Food - Edit
My husband and I had dinner here and were pleasantly surprised. I couldn’t help myself and got a little of most everything to try. Everything was vegan, so we went to town. I really enjoyed the German potato salad, Indian summer stew, focaccia, falafel, and the millet mash. The salad bar was on point and they had a ton of sauces/dressings to add to your salad or falafel or whatever you decide to eat that day. You pay by weight - pro tip: soup is the same price regardless of weight. If you get a small bowl of soup they charged us for half. They update what they offer on their website if you’d like to look before going. Also, their FB has great recipes that they post regularly. Some of the food was a bit bland, but with a touch more salt it brought all the flavors to life. We sat with a view of Market Square and enjoyed some people watching.
Read morePros: Lots of options - including healthier options, You can eat as much or as little, Good price especially if your getting soup & salad
Cons: Some dishes needed more salt, Desserts were alright, A little hard to find at first

Unpretentious, but delicious vegan buffet - Edit
We loved this restaurant so much that we ate there both nights during our stay in Victoria - it's so fun to have an all-vegan buffet. The BBQ tempeh was especially delicious. Dessert options all looked amazing- but we were too full to try! We ate for under $20 each - a bargain!

Modestly good - Edit
The food is great and I like that they’re so casual about it. Even the naming of dishes is understated with names like “tempeh in brown sauce”. You wouldn’t find this kind of dish out in the wild many places so would recommend looking online at the daily menu to learn what’s in each. They had sold out of at least one hot dish by the time I was there.
Read moreI went with hot food items but these were no longer that warm by 13:30. Moving around from the soup, salads and hot foods one gets tempted in by the wide array of sweet things. I chose what I would describe as a cold winter spicey apple dessert with an oaty spongey topping.
Enjoyed these with a ginger kombucha from the draft. This clearly wasn’t packed with sugar. You can ask for however much food you would like and it was nice not to have such a a huge portion for a change😄
Pros: Options, Healthy, Casual
Cons: Long wait

Expensive and average - Edit
Found several of the dishes quite flavourless, particularly the tofu main. Disappointing given the high total price of the food which only gets revealed when weighed at the checkout. Not worth the money.
