A Standby - Edit
Been to this restaurant many, many times. A relative thinks its the best restaurant in Canada, although I have found the heated foods not hot enough. Creative and healthy selections, and introduced me how to eat kale (mashed potatoes, sesame salad), parsnip (mashed, savory pie), and other foods. Generous discount if you show your National Capital Vegetarian Membership Association card. I love the wood tables/chairs. The deserts are wonderful but there are so many you could easily overdue you budget (financially and calorically speaking). You do have to pay attention to the ingredient lists if you are vegan, but useful for those who have food sensitivities. They use a self-serve water cooler that purifies the water, so it tastes much better than tapwater. They have a bulletin board in the entry so you can find out what is going on in town.

I like it but..... - Edit
If I didn't personally like Simon Saab as an individual, I'd likely stick to the Green Door. The food always seems to clock in a little bit into the territory of "good/great" but a bit more than I want to pay for it.
Read moreEasily accessible, lots of parking and usually always a free table. Art on the walls consistently tacky and *blech*
Pros: very good food, nice staff, good spot for corner watching
Cons: price, art on walls

The Table - Edit
I enjoy both The Table and The Green Door, and although the Green Door tends to have a wider selection, The Table has improved in this aspect. I prefer the seating at The Table - the tables aren't as close together so it doesn't feel as crowded.
Read moreEither of these restaurants are a sure thing if you're looking for quality vegan/vegetarian options. If you don't load up too much on the heavier foods, the price will be reasonable considering the quality of the food.
Pros: excellent food, healthy cuisine, choose your own portions

Nothing special but not bad either. - Edit
Like i said about The Green Door, this place can be nice to find vegan food, but there is nothing exciting about the flavors. They have limited choices of vegan sweets. They have a lot of different food, but i was not inspired to try everything. I ended up with a big salad, some steamed veggies and tofu, and tried the desserts. I still think that this kind of places is useful when you're vegan. I just wish they could make food that's a little more creative.

The Better of Two Veggie Buffets - Edit
I prefer The Table to the Green Door - no question - in terms of value for the (still pretty steep) cost, and food selection. There's always an option for vegan desserts (and one that doesn't include chocolate, which I personally appreciate!) and I find that there's usually a very quick replacement of food which keeps food hot and selection high. Finally, there's a pretty diverse set of food options (salads, curries, pies, veggies, raw options, soup, etc), so it's likely that everyone you go with can find something, and eat the amount they want. There's a good amount of seating also, and Westboro is a great location if you want to wander around before or after!
Read morePros: location, food selection , dishes quickly refilled

Not crazy about it - Edit
I find their selection is quite small. It tends to be expensive. I am not crazy about the food either. A little bland for me.
Read morePros: healthy
Cons: Not the best

A Family Favorite - Edit
The TABLE is where we eat when we want a sure thing in the standard of food. Their food is great. Friday night is wheat free lasagna!
Read moreThe secret is to not eating too much is to use a small plate for your meal then there is room for dessert.
The food here is made by chefs and it tastes like it is made by chefs! Their cheesecake is outstanding! Vegan desserts don't usually fly with me, but the coconut pie is delicious!
Price is very reasonable for the quality.
Pros: healthy food, many choices, fresh/raw
Cons: None that we see!

Delicious - Edit
I've been to this place a couple of times, and it's a real treat. I love the buffet, the only problem is I end up taking way more food than I can actually eat because I want to try a bit of everything!
Read morePros: Great buffet selection, Delicious food

Lack-lustre - Edit
I thought the food was way too over-priced. Sure, it's by weight, but it's a big rip-off. The desserts were pretty good, but the salads were a joke- I mean, HUGE chunks of avocado and tomato with some oil on it. Where's the flavour...what about a lime and cilantro dressing?? The food was somewhat cold and lacked flavour. I know places like that try to cater to everyone, but lack of spice shouldn't mean lack of flavour, and it shouldn't cost three people over 50 bucks to have a light dinner and drinks. I'd recommend the Green Door and the Wild Oat far above this rip-off. The only thing cool about it is the sign outside and all the great postings at the door. Or maybe you could go there for tea and desert.
Read morePros: good desert, lots of community postings, large variety
Cons: food is COLD and overpriced!, lame atmosphere, ghost-like service

The Table - Edit
This place was ok but nothing special.. I am not a fan of the pay by weight buffet concept but despite that I found the food rather bland.. There were some good choices though.. I really liked the tempeh patties they have.. The atmosphere in the restaurant is quite nice (relaxing).. This place can be a little expensive though because you pay by weight.. The location is about 15mins drive from downtown.. We walked from downtown and it took close to one hour.. Don't get me wrong, this place wasn't bad but I didn't find the food anything special..
Read morePros: atmosphere, a lot of variety
Cons: price, food not outstanding, location
