Pure Kitchen is my favorite restaurant in Ottawa! Their generous portions of healthy & tasty plant-based food always hit the spot. My latest obsession is the Fulfilled (vegan eggplant parm sandwich) + you need to get the transformed kale Caesar salad as a side. They have a nice patio during the summer.

Wanted to grab a healthy bite to eat, so we decided to try Pure Kitchen out for the first time. Although it's a little more on the pricey side, the portions were perfect. The host sat us on the street bar top, which was a great atmosphere. Food was great, service was awesome! Definitely give it a try!

Having been to the Pure Kitchen on Elgin, I knew exactly what I was doing when I invited my dad to take me to lunch. It is rare for my dad to give high praise to vegan restaurants, but he was quite pleased with our lunch here. I agreed with my dad as the cauliflower wings were exceptional and my Tempeh sandwich was even better. Pure Kitchen makes veganism proud in Ottawa!!

This place is amazing!!! We tried the BLT (tempeh sandwich), the classic walnut/mushroom burger, and the buffalo cauliflower appetizer. The food was so amazing, the waitresses were so kind and generous that they even gave us extra ranch sauce for the burgers after they saw how much we loved it with the appetizers. The place is so homey and the people are incredibly friendly and the food is to-die-for!! 10/10 we'll be back to eat at this place next time we're in town :)

Ordered the Ignite bibimbap bowl and Liberty wrap. The new menu is great and our wait staff were exceptional.

Friend and I enjoyed an unhurried lunch, I with the fried cauliflower wrap & buffalo sauce with mixed-greens salad, and my friend with the falafel & hummus wrap with half salad, half fries. Good wines and craft beers available. Tables are partitioned with wood-framed plastic barriers. Pleasant service.

Good service and atmosphere, food was good. Drinks disappointing and pretty pricey

I'm honestly quite gutted that I feel the need to write this review. My husband and I have always considered Pure Kitchen as our favourite restaurant in the city. We've been eating at Pure Kitchen for five years now, and in the past year, once a week, we order takeaway from them because we love their food and want to support them through these times. However, unfortunately, the food quality and attention to detail are not the same.
We both order the buffalo cauliflower wrap with a side of fries. One wrap with one modification: +cheddar
Here are a few things we've noticed over the past few months that we're sadly disappointed by:
- The amount of fries per serving is extremely inconsistent. Some weeks we get a massive serving, other weeks, we get a handful.
- The wraps themselves are not wrapped tight enough; when you take the paper off, the wrap begins to fall apart and creates a mess.
- The cauliflower has been undercooked and pretty tough.
- The wrap with the modification is often not marked, so we often don't know which one has the cheddar cheese addition.
We love Pure Kitchen, and we really hope we can come back to the reviews in a bit and amend this review to the five stars the restaurant deserves. We're just a bit disappointed in what we've been receiving recently, and we truly hope this review can help for future orders.

My friend and I went here for the 1st time. We arrived at the Richmond Rd. location, it looked very cozy with people that were happy and enjoying themselves. We could only sit in the area near the cash since there was only one server, which was ok. Then we ordered. We both ordered the Cheerful sandwich with the Funky Monkey smoothie. Both were delicious! Plus the male server, was very happy to help us if we needed anything. We got good service and it didn't take long to receive the food. Great place to eat healthy!

This place has absolutely gone downhill in the past few months.Increased prices and tiny portions - ordered cauliflower wings for takeout and when we came home my sister and I each only got 3 pieces of cauliflower each, the portion was ridiculously small. When we called to complain, assuming this was an accident, we were told by the manager that the portion size had been decreased. We were told we would get a free appetizer giftcard, but when my sister went into the store, the giftcard was only valid with the purchase of 2 mains. We will NOT be coming back and I have told all my vegetarian friends to not bother coming as this place is a total ripoff. None of my friends or I will be coming here. In addition, once my friends and I have boycotted this place, my friend made cauliflower wings that tasted even better than yours for the price of $5. This place is absolutely ridiculous.

I'd like to understand the idea behind providing a "suggested" tip amount on the bill and then having that "suggested" amount inputted into the debit machine and THEN being prompted to tip on top of the tip that was already included. If you're not paying close attention, then you will tip on top of the tip without it being overtly brought to your attention. This is a shifty way of doing business. My friend ended up tipping 20% on top of a tip that was already added! I almost fell for it too when my post tax amount was $32 but was being prompted to pay $44?! When I asked the waitress why it was set up this way she stuttered and had no explanation. Made me want to take my "suggested" tip back. For this reason I will not return. It's completely dishonest.

What a delicious restaurant!!! Me and my friend are from Montreal and we were in Hull to visit another friend last weekend. We decided to eat in your restaurant because I’m vegetarian (soon-to-be vegan) and your place looked so cozy, modern and cool!! We waited 30 minutes before having a seat but it was worth the wait!! DE-LI-CIOUS!!! My Hull’s friend is gluten free but could eat very well (even if her plate was really spicy but wasn’t indicated like it in the menu). Me and my friend ate the falafel sandwich with the poutine on side-dish...Pure Delight!!! We dreamt about it in our trip back the day after!!! �
Thumbs up for your cool t-shirt! We had the “Everyday I’m brussellin” beat in our head for days! �

I am NOT a vegetarian and love meat so here is my honest review.
My coworker had been bugging me for years to try Pure Kithen, i thought i would walk away hungry (had back-up snacks in the van) and figured everything would taste like rabbit food.
I was completely worng. everything was so delicious that i couldn't finish my entire meal. I have already started recommended Pure Kitchen to my friends and family.
Pure kitchen is a restaurant that anyone could enjoy, even meat eaters (i reccomend the cauliflower wings)

The Korean bbq cauliflower wings are amazing. Had the Dreamer burger, and as a regular meat eater, I was not disappointed in the least. I loved the burger.
Jessica Dodge
Amazing menu!! I had the Sooth smoothie and it was to die for. Large portions and good prices for such fresh food.
Xu Yang
Great variety on the menu. Tasty food and generous offering. Relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff. Always satisfies.

It is the best place to eat in Gatineau/Ottawa. I go there at least 2 times per month. Food, service, vibe it is all good for me and my family.
Sarah Kennedy
The food was ok but the service was terrible and the wait to be seated, served, and get the bill was really long with absolutely no apologies. We ordered cake to go and after waiting for 15 minutes for it I had to hunt down the waitress to get it so we could leave. Kind of felt like we were wasting their time.

My favourite spot when I come to Ottawa. They change up the juice menu and food options seasonally and the staff are fantastic. Would love it if they opened a chain near thetwotwenty in Saskatoon,SK.
Sonja Sigurdson
Love, love, love this place! I come here often when I'm in town and I always order the cauliflower wings... who knows how they make them so yummy! Great atmosphere, great service, and if it's a sunny day, awesome patio upstairs! It's an Ottawa staple for me :)

Pure Kitchen is amazing. The space is bright and airy, the service is great and the food is delicious (no matter your dietary preferences). Everyone I bring here enjoys the experience.
