Need hot and vegan options - Edit
Food was OK if you compare the prices. a lot of fresh veggie option. If you want cooked vegan option, I will not highly recommend it. definitely peaceful place.

Vegetarian Wonderland - Edit
When you first see the outside of the restaurant, you are fearful and unsure what to expect. Totally the opposite! The place is clean, DELISH (I seriously had a hard time picking out what to take- so i tried it all). I love the interior too- It's a place you can hang out in for hours with a book and a jug of tea. Don't miss out!

Pros: The food, The service
Cons: Quite Pricey, Some deserts are not that great

Good food... - Edit
We arrived at this restaurant at around 8:30pm and this might be the reason for our criticism. Overall good food selections however we found the food was under heated. Price was a bit high given the quality and the temperature of the food. If you are going to go, we would suggest you go earlier in the day.

Choices, Choices - Edit
It's all true. You do have to watch your plate to not spend too much, but the food is worth it - creative and lovingly prepared. Yes, dairy in many items, but there are other choices. Killer desserts. Pleasant, peaceful atmosphere. Helpful, patient staff. A gem.

I Love This Place! - Edit
Sadly I've never lived in this neighborhood (Kits) but I always go to G&G if I'm nearby. Been going to this low-key buffet restaurant for years, and it was my first introduction to the idea that vegan food could actually taste good! All the dishes have ingredients listed and there are wheat-free options as well as vegetarian and vegan. I don't find it expensive at all compared to other restaurants (and it's self-serve) but be aware of the weight of what you put on your plate. It's not the place to go if you want huge portions, but you can purchase some items like samosas or a bowl of rice separately for a set price anyway. I agree the tofu in sweet miso sauce is absolutely delicious. This place is "comfort food" for vegetarians. Love it. Only the desserts are "meh."
Read morePros: laid back, child friendly, great food
Cons: blah desserts, pricey for heavy dishes

Lot of variety...but be prepared for price shock!! - Edit
I went here twice only. Just found that it was quite the shock when my meal and my spouse's were weighed.
Read moreLots of $$, not such a big portion.
If you live near here, it is probably ok for you as you'll figure out by trial and error.
Pros: Lot of variety, Excellent desserts
Cons: Expensive

All Aboard the Veg Train - Edit
I visit the Vancouver area several times throughout the year and I am never dissappointed with the veggie/vegan restaurants, and this one is no exception.
Read moreThe ambiance was very nice and relaxing. I visited G & G around 5pm on a Tuesday so there were not a lot of people and I was pleasantly surprised at how many dishes did not have dairy in them. I tried a little bit of just about everything in the hot food section (very little lol) and everything was delicious and fresh. The chef came out several times to check the food which I appreciated. I also liked how they labeled the food, I didn't have to keep asking "what has milk in it".
I will definitely visit G & G again and I would suggest you do too :-)
By the way, what's up with all the warm water at all of these veggie places lol.
Pros: Location, Spacious, Fresh food
Cons: Paying by the pound

needs more nondairy! - Edit
this place was nice, but i had a hard time chosing what to eat as all the best looking dishes contained dairy. i ended up with some salad, roasted potatos, and some fruit. not particularly exciting. i've gotta give them props for the nondairy chocolate cream pie though. i wanted to take a whole one home with me!
Read moreoh, and as will all pay-by-weight buffets, watch how much you put on your plate. it can get a little expensive.
Pros: vegan chocolate cream pie
Cons: too much cheese

Great for kids! - Edit
Although I say this is a great place for children, this place is very quiet and calm.
Read moreGreens and Gourmet is my kids' favorite restaurant in Vancouver. My husband never feels like going (he prefers Foundation and the Naam) so I always go when he's not with us. My children (4 and 6) eat so much healthy food when we go and I like the fact that you don't have to wait (it's a buffet style kinda restaurant.) We really like the somosas, tofu in sweet sauce and the salad bar. I have to say the desserts are not my favorite (taste too healthy for me) but I have yet to find very good vegan sweets in Vancouver.
Pros: no wait, very peaceful

Managers remarks - Edit
Greens and Gourmet has been serving non violent food for 20 years. We have extensive self serve cold and hot buffets for you to design your own meal, paying by weight. If you are a raw foods person, vegan or vegetarian, you'll be impressed with the choices offered. Personally, I enjoy making my fantasy salad and sampling new dishes like eggplant with green thai curry, or the "mock" meat and chicken dishes.We are not perfect, but we do the best we can. I think all vegetarian restaurants should be commended for their peaceful principles and respect given to all of Gods creatures.
Read morePros: peaceful atmosphere, friendly staff, fantastic choices of food
Cons: no fixed price menu, no breakfasts
