carrot cake!! - Edit
Pure Kitchen on Rideau Street is fantastic, and the best part? It's conveniently located right across from the train station!
Read moreThe carrot cake with vegan cream cheese frosting was perfection—moist, flavourful, and a must-try. The Fantastic Noodles were equally amazing, with a hint of citrus on the tofu, peanut sauce, and fresh veggies.
The only downside was the dumplings. They were deep-fried and they didn’t quite match the quality of the other dishes but still very edible.
Overall, a great spot for plant-based eating!
I went back and tried the loaded sweet potatoes. I was expecting an appetizer since it was labeled as one, but it turned out to be a full meal—I couldn’t even finish it! It was absolutely delicious. I also grabbed a carrot cake to go, and it’s still the best I’ve had. This time, I tried the kombucha, but I didn’t enjoy it—it had a strong, almost alcoholic taste compared to other kombuchas I’ve tried. Maybe it was a bit old.

Delicious every time - Edit
We visited here 3 of our 5 days in Ottawa. Every meal was delicious, quickly served and fresh. Highly recommend the loaded sweet potato fries and fantastical bowl. The juices also very good and fresh. I love this place!

Nice option at Byward Market - Edit
Food is quite good and also expensive, we got 2 smoothies, 2 appetizers, & 1 main and it was $100 before tip.
Read moreWe were told all the sauces are vegan (like ranch & sour cream) which is great but not indicated on the menu.
Crunch wrap - it was so-so, they use a slice of vegan cheese that didn’t melt very much
Cauliflower wings - amazing! Probably the best we’ve ever had
Dumplings - also very good! (You only get 5 so it’s small)
Side Lentil soup - quite good
“Refreshed” smoothie - delicious!

Good, but not special - Edit
I tried the pad thai. It was good, although a bit too much sauce and too salty for my liking. Quick service and friendly staff

Favourite Vegan Restaurant in Canada - Edit
I dont know where to start with this one because I've probably had everyrhing on the menu. I absolutely adore this place and dream about their food. Delicious, hearty comfort food or light healthy salads...it's all amazing. Incredible desserts, juices. And a great wine list. It's so hard to choose only 1 or 2 dishes here. The service is also fantastic and friendly. L O V E this place.

Good Food and wine - Edit
This is becoming our go to place while on holiday in Ottawa. The food is good, with a friendly service. The menu is not huge but enough to keep going back without getting bored. I like the poutine with cashew cheese.

Nice place for a healthy vegan bowl - Edit
Enjoyed the kale Caesar bowl which comes with falafel.
Read morereformed kale caeser: charred broccoli, falafel, cashew cheese, kale, red cabbage, coconut bacon, corn croutons, seed parmesan, caper vinaigrette
Almost everything is vegan -- some items have dairy cheese as an option or baseline.

Not 100% vegan, but majority of items are vegan by default - Edit
Went to this vegetarian restaurant hoping for some vegan options, and we were pleasantly surprised that almost everything was vegan by default (Caesar salad, desserts, burgers). Lots of healthy vegan food with great portion sizes!
Read moreJust watch out if you’re looking to try their numerous juice/drink options, they might be out right after the weekend!

Tasty plantbased food in the heart of Ottawa - Edit
Pure Kitchen is one of my favorite restaurants in Ottawa, so I was really happy to hear they opened a new location on Rideau St! I loved this location as much as the other ones. The food is always on point (the Cheerful BLT with fries and transformed salad is my go-to, and the cauliflower wings are a MUST as well) and service is very quick.
