Favorite vegan poutine! - Edit
I love going to Pure for their healthy and nutritious juices and smoothies but most of all their cashew cheese poutine! The cheese consistency isn’t like a ‘traditional’ poutine but the mushroom gravy is delicious and the fries are always excellently made. I personally get the “sharing size” if I’m having it as a main so keep that in mind the individual might leave you wanting more if that’s all you’re having.
Read moreThe picture also includes the sharing size poutine, Korean BBQ cauliflower wings (sharing size) and the classic burger with their half fries/half mixed green and a yummy Iron Warrior smoothie!
Pros: Excellent food, Friendly staff, Lots of options

Disappointing first meal in Ottawa - Edit
We were here on a quiet Friday afternoon in mid-August, as tourists visiting Ottawa. We ate outside on the streetside patio, as this is still during COVID19 precautions. The server quickly brought us water and cutlery, and explained how to access the menu via QR scan.
Read moreI ordered the Thrive salad with falafel and grilled avocado based on the server's recommendation. My spouse had the Fantastic hot bowl with rice noodles and peanut sauce, which he very much enjoyed. . It took some time for the food to arrive, even though we were the only guests outside or anywhere as far as I could tell.
My salad didn't thrill me- it arrived without any vinagrette, and even when the server went to seek the vinagrette, it hardly improved it. The salad was some 85% lettuce greens, with three falafel balls and a half grilled avocado I think. Very dull to eat, the lemon maple vinagrette added nothing to improve the flavours or experience. A terrible meal.
The server knew that I was disappointed and gave me a complimentary chocolate and peanut butter dessert, which was thoughtful but didn't mitigate this disappointing meal in Ottawa.
I'd recommend avoiding the cold bowls and sticking with their hot bowls and sandwiches here.
Pros: Freshly made , Ample portion size
Cons: Slow service, waited too long for simple meals, Not a good value for the money

My favorite restaurant - Edit
I make a point to try out new vegan spots whenever I’m traveling or visiting a new city. Pure kitchen is hands down my favorite restaurant in any city. No matter what you’re in the mood for there is something. If you want to be healthier or have an all out cheat meal you will find a dish you love! Menu changes up a bit too so it seems like there is always something new to try. Simply the best!

Beautiful restaurant with amazing food. The menu is large and they have healthy food like bowls, smoothies, etc. but also junk food, such as burgers and poutines. I had a vegan burger with a vegan poutine. It was delicious! Definitely my go to when I am in Ottawa.

Love coming to the pure kitchen. I’ve taken so many non-vegans/vegetarians here and they have all loved it. So many great options & super friendly staff. The BLT is a must try!

I liked that the cheese was restaurant made and that all of their food was really healthy and delicious. The drinks were good too. We really enjoyed the cauliflower plate but I found it expensive for the amount served.

My favorite thing on the menu are the Korean bbq cauliflower wings. They are to die for!!! I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are eating with omnis.
Read moreAll of the menu items are Pure are vegan and then you have the option to add non-vegan cheese to some of the menu items. I believe there are no eggs.
Pros: Great menu to chose from., Food is incredible.
Cons: Not all vegan

The stuff of dreams!! - Edit
I had been to Pure Kitchen a handful of times over the last couple of years, but since becoming pregnant have been in at least once a week, and literally dream about their vegan poutine on a near nightly basis.
Read moreMy partner and I both love their Liberty (buffalo cauliflower) wrap, kale ceasar salad, Lively tofu bites and desserts, and agree that dining here for two is quite reasonably priced for the amount of beautiful, thoughtfully & carefully prepared food we get to enjoy • we always leave feeling happy and satisfied!
Staff here are really pleasant, knowledgeable & accommodating, too, whether we've gone in on our own or in a small group • never a bad experience!
Pros: Entirely vegan menu (unless you add cheese), Gluten-free options , Awesome staff & pleasant atmosphere
Cons: They've created a monster (I kid!)

Best Vegan/Vegetarian EVER - Edit
Everything on the menu is vegan but comes with the option to add cheese for non-vegans. Great atmosphere, very cute. Almost everything could be made gluten free. We had the cauliflower wings, and they were so amazing. They came with a vegan ranch which tasted like normal ranch. Also got the tacos and fries which were very good. Service was lovely, great staff. Our server gave us a complementary dessert to take home as well😄 (chocolate brownie cake, so good!) best vegan restaurant i’ve been to!
