Review The Table - Ottawa

Finally someone has put together my two favourite components of dining: Vegan and Buffet. The selection was incredible, as I filled my plate with a little bit of everything. It was all delicious. The staff were really friendly as they ensured every customer was taken care of. This is a real gem for vegan and vegetarians, a place I will certainly be returning to.

Most restaurants pretend to be clean. While the Table actually serves wholesome clean food that leaves you feeling better after eating then when you came in. The customer service is warm and the manager really knows how to make a customer feel welcome. I have a 9 year old who she helped serve and even took the time to explained how they prepare and cook the food! Do yourself a favour and try the food and service out.

Good variety and creative choices on offer. Some staples are always served but there is a clear effort to push the envelope. Clean place, reasonable pricing (by weight). Their dessert buffet is where most items remain unchanged and for food reason - they are really good. Soups are generally OK but occasionally unexciting due to overwhelming tomato flavour. Would recommend for vegetarians, vegans, omnivores and carnivores alike.

Absolutely amazing experience. The buffet was fresh and everything was really tasty. And the staff was so friendly and nice! Great vegan food for a good price and a cozy atmosphere. Will definitely be back next time we are in the city!

My husband and I were very happy with the vegan gluten free pizza special. The crust was a wonderful texture and the toppings and sauce were very flavourful. It came with summer cabbage salad (which was very fresh and yummy) and also included a chocolate avocado brownie which was the perfect amount of sweetness and very delicious. The people there were really nice. I will definitely go back 😃

FOOD IS AMAZING. Good quality produce and fresh. Waitress with red hair was very kind. Will definitely be coming back soon!

We tried The Table on our last day before heading back. We have always had the struggle to find good food in Ottawa restaurants, except for breakfast, and The Table continued the tradition. Food: They do have a wide buffet spread and some quite interesting things. However, they have overused Tofu to the extent that your plate looked pretty much monotonous, especially for the main course items. I am not sure if this was a just one-day thing or a norm. Most of the items didn't really taste well, except for the patties and corn rice. In terms of dessert, there were some good options and I did like raw blueberry balls and the cake. Overall, some good desserts and salads but would have loved to have some variety in the main course - vegan doesn't mean just Tofu. Ambiance: Quite bright (natural sunlight) with large seating space. The place was not crowded when we visited, so we did have options to choose from. Very traditional restauranty ambiance. There is a small section from where you can pick some packed stuff as well - prepared food, spices etc. Staff: It is pretty much self-serve, so there isn't much staff interaction, except for the payment part. Their replenishment rate was good - hardly any vessel empty. They charge on the basis of plate weight which is quite interesting. Unfortunately, they were out of power when we visited so instead of by weight, we just paid up front. The gentleman was very friendly and courteous. Overall, not a restaurant that I would remember to go to.

Not only is this place much easier to eat at because it caters to dietary needs, but the food is also delicious! Non vegetarians/vegans would enjoy eating here just as much. Everything is by weight, which works really well for me because you can grab a portion you can realistically finish. Love the care put into the ingredients. Great staff too. Definitely coming back here!

We absolutely love the Table and have been frequenting this restaurant for years. Tons of vegan and gluten free options, beautiful variety, reasonable cost, great ambiance for a causal lunch or dinner date, and we appreciate the owner always playing an active role in the vegan community through sponsorships and attendance at events.

My absolute favourite restaurant in Eastern Ontario. Love the variety and the numerous gluten-free vegan options. Perfect place for a Celiac vegan. Staff are friendly. Love the discount card (although I loved it better when it was for $10 ;) ) I also love seeing the art work that changes regularly. And they now serve Oat & Mill ice cream which is super exciting!

Just went here to see the Art Work of Parmatma. I was really impressed by the food. I had little bits of all the salads on my plate - plus some lentils for under $10. Each salad was distinctive, delicious and not over powering. I tasted a friends Sunflower cheese, which another friend described as resembling a good veggie pate. It was lovely. There was also a thick tempeh, with a freshness and moist, with a staisfying texture. They were great with our large group, and even had parking around back!

Outstanding! I am so happy that I stopped by to check it out. The food was amazing. It was well labelled, with such a great selection of dishes that I just had to try a bit of everything! The food is so fresh, I'm eating my leftovers 24 hrs later and it's still amazing. The atmosphere was quite comfortable, with very friendly staff that took the time to show this first timer around. I will definitely be back!

It is a great place for a quick meal . Serve yourself . The deserts are good also.

I came here with my husband, while visiting Ottawa from Trenton. We're both on the 2nd go around for the Wildfit 90 day Challenge and this establishment is ideal for health conscious eating! The food was varied, fresh, tasty and surprisingly affordable. Next time we're in Ottawa, we'll definitely be back!!! =D

I went for the first time a week or so ago and the service was incredible - so friendly, so engaging and beyond nice. And the food! OH, the food. I've been thinking about this place non-stop and can't wait to come back. There was also a tea that I had for the first time there that is now a staple on my shelf. Very excited for pay-day!

Yesterday I wrote a review that was meant for the Green door ! Anyhow I removed it this morning . I would like to point out that I was contacted very quickly by The Table to rectify my dissatisfaction in which I realized my review had gone on the wrong place . The Table is so professional, care about keeping their customers happy ! Will continue to enjoy your establishment

My first time there and it was fabulous. The staff were very helpful as they could see we were first timers. The food was delicious! My first time to a vegetarian restaurant too actually so I’m glad my first experience was a good one! �

I am a full fledged carnivore. Lol. But took my vegetarian daughter to a special dinner just us 2. Very pleased with the cleanliness and hospitality. Cut Above most for that. Very reasonably priced as well. Kudos And the selection of the buffet is impressive. Fully have my endorsement as a certified red sealed chef. We will be back. Cheers

Always great food and genuinely friendly staff! The rewards are an excellent perk as well. :)

I picked my AirBNB in Ottawa just to be close to this place. In 15 years I've never found a better vegan buffet.

The food was exceptional and the customer service was literally the best I've ever had! I will be going back for sure.

One of my favourite restaurants. Not only is the food delicious and healthy, the desserts are some of the best that I've tried in vegetarian restaurants and the staff is great and friendly! Wonderful for someone who has a gluten intolerance, as a good 80% of the choices are gluten-free too!! :-)

My go to place for a meal on the fly. Awesome vegetarian food and friendly service! Love this place!

Always great food. Always great varieties and fresh. I just had (devoured ) the deconstructed babaganouj....YUM. And now there are samosas...more YUM. Feeling grateful for The Table!!!!

My favorite restaurant in Ottawa! <3 Mon restaurant préféré quand je vais à Ottawa et Gatineau ! Merci d'exister The Table Vegetarian Restaurant <3 Et votre guacamole est divin ! And your guacamole is divine!

The Table catered two events for the History Department (the graduate colloquium and a networking event) and we were very satisfied with their services. Reza, who coordinated the process, is very friend friendly, kind, and easy to work with. He is very in tune with event needs, and he goes above and beyond. On a personal note, I've been eating at the table for four years, and I have yet to have something that isn't delicious. If you are planning an event, you should definitely consider The Table!

So good � truly love the flavour of the food

Greasy spoon vegan — a lot of it is fried and/or in casseroles. It's what your grandma would have cooked if she'd been vegan, and makes good comfort food when you want it. The onion chutney/relish is their signature. Sold by weight, so careful about loading up on the potatoes or other heavy things, or you'll have a shock at the cash. Good desserts. No tips allowed.

Great soul food by great people! Highly recommended! 👍

Great vegan / vegetarian food. BEST deserts in the city.

The food is fresh, tasty and healthy. I would eat here several times a week if I could.

By far my favourite lunch spot. The food is always delicious, always fresh, and there is lots of variety. The staff is so inviting and friendly. EXCEPTIONAL!!!

The table is my go to for take our meals. Their soups lasagnas and quiche reheat wonderfully and above all they are healthy. I feel you can't beat the price for the wholesome food you are getting and the service is top notch. I mean I live right across the street so maybe I biased. Table food reduces my temptation to get unhealthy takeout. It also feels great to support a local business with a heart :)

One of our favorite vegetarian restaurants in Ottawa, which we visit sometimes for a full meal with vast selection ... or for our take out meals for going down to the river for a MADHUVAN OUTING ... Tasty nutritious and supporting the life ...

The food was great, very tasty and they offered a wide range of variety.
