The Green Door Restaurant

Bonne bouffe

Excellente nourriture toujours de bons légumes frais

I was a bit leery about eating here after reading some of the bad reviews saying how expensive it is, hair in the food, cafeteria-like ambiance, etc. Didn't sound like my kind of place, at all. However, my experience today was wonderful! I walked in, and the place smelled great. Good start! I was meeting a few friends, so I paid for a coffee and sat down to wait for the others to arrive. The organic brew I poured for myself was good. No bitterness at all, which was a nice surprise. Then, when it came time for us all to hit the buffet, I tried about 7 different dishes, and each one was superb. If I could cook like that myself, I'd never miss meat on my plate. I didn't have room for dessert, but they were all equally appetizing, especially the carrot cake. The women working the cash were friendly and smiled. The place itself gets a lot of natural light, which I also enjoyed. By the time we were done, the place was full and a line up for tables had formed, as the other reviews had mentioned. Overall, I cannot fault them for anything. I highly recommend this place for vegetarians and veggie lovers alike. Yum!

It's too far out of the way to be a regular visitor. But I have patronized it for years. Excellent variety and great tasting vegetarian food. Dishes don't hide behind walls of spice, oil, fat, cheese. They don't need to. The cafeteria setting will not suit everyone, and you have to be careful when you go or you may not find a seat. Should be tried by anyone who wonders about vegetarian foods. Licensed even.

Delicious and healthy yet cheap food! Best vegetarian meal I've ever had. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Ottawa. The decor and atmosphere are modest but I don't care about that.

The quiche and the raspberry pie are very good. The only thing I don't like about Green Door is that by the time you get to pay for your food, it's kind of cold. And it is a little bit expensive for the amount of food I had. But I would probably come back.

Great vegetarian restaurant. The selection is incredible and the food is very good. I recommend the spanakopita and the salads. It is priced by weight. Depending on what you choose, the price can be high or low. I have never spent more than $12 for dinner and dessert. The vegan chocolate cake is a must-try.

Hands down my favourite place to eat in Ottawa...

Hands down my favourite place to eat in Ottawa. The selection is incredible, and I never get tired of the food even though I eat there at least once every couple of weeks. I've also taken countless non-vegetarians there, and they have always loved the food as well.
