My boyfriend and I stopped at Pure Kitchen in Kanata before going to a game at Canadian Tire Centre…read more(because sadly nothing is near the arena). It's not all vegan, but our server told us that except for cheese in some dishes, the menu was pretty much all vegan. Unfortunately, they're also doing away with mocktail mixers, but I was able to get a nice mocktail. My boyfriend ordered the "Cheerful," a take on a TLT, while I decided to order a crunch wrap filled with Beyond crumbles, pico, and other fillings. It's clearly a take on the fast food place with the bell. We both decided to get the belle poutine. I tried a bite of the TLT, which was sort of a pita pocket, and it was pretty good. I liked my crunch wrap, but it got cold very quickly. I sadly was not a fan of the poutine, which was a vegan cheezy sauce and gravy rather than curds, and there wasn't enough gravy. For a casual place, the price points seemed a bit high. Still, if I'm in Ottawa again, I'll go to a Pure Kitchen (there happens to be on in the neighborhood where our hotel is), but I'll get regular fries instead.

I was in Kanata and after searching for restaurants nearby, found out that there was a PiRho Grill…read moreon Hazeldean Road. I've been wanting to try PiRho Grill for the longest time. I am a sucker for create your own bowls filled with veggies and sauces. I looked over the menu beforehand and had an idea of what I wanted. My husband was not too familiar with this place, so he just followed my lead. We were both greeted right away when we walked into the very clean restaurant. Service was friendly, and the staff was super patient and walked us through everything. We both settled on the grain bowl. I topped mine with tzaziki, spicy harissa, shredded lettuce, red cabbage, red beet quinoa, pickled peppers, pickled onion and tomato and cucumbers. I got the vegan option for protein which is the zucchini fritters, and topped it all off with lemon tahini thyme dressing. I also got a side pita and a vegan granola ball for the kid. I found the bowl OK. It was very pretty, but I am not sure if I did my best creating it. It was missing some acidity and nothing really stood out. I would skip the spicy harissa next time as I was not a fan of it. I also did not like the zucchini fritters, which I was so looking forward to trying. On a positive note, the red beet quinoa was amazing. My hubby had the same thoughts about his bowl and was not wow'd. The star of the show was that pita. It was fresh and chewy. I think next time I go, I will try out a wrap.

I still remember when I discovered the original PiRho Grill down in Barrhaven 4 years ago. I…read moreabsolutely loved it. The whole "salad/grain bowl movement" was new to Ottawa and the Mediterranean flair of PiRho Grill reeled me in. I spoke with Tom, one of the owners, and even back then he was thinking of opening up multiple locations. I urged him to open one in Westboro, but it hasn't happened yet (Tom, if you're reading this, please think about it, the only salad place I have in my 'hood is Freshii, of which I am not a fan. I don't like tasteless and spongy chicken, please help me out! Lol). Anyway, they opened up the location downtown on Elgin next, then this one on Hazeldean in Kanata. Maybe it's because the Barrhaven location was where I had my first taste of PiRho Grill and thus has a special place in my heart, but I found the food not as flavourful at this Kanata location. It's still really good, and in my opinion so much better than the national chains of salad places, just not as good as the Barrhaven location ;) I had the salad bowl ($12.25) and chose a mix of all the greens. For my dips I got the eggplant one and the red pepper hummus. For my protein I got half chicken and half baked zucchini cakes (so I got 1 cake). For toppings I got cucumber and tomato salad, roasted beet quinoa, red cabbage and crumbled feta. I was really tempted to get the pita crisps because they are really good, but I'm trying to limit my carbs and reduce my gluten intake, albeit to the chagrin of my taste buds. For the dressing, I got it on the side and I got the yogurt dill, which tastes a little like tzatziki. Service was friendly and efficient. During this Covid-19 Pandemic staff were wearing masks. We were in Stage 3 of re-openings so indoor dining was allowed and their indoor dining space was open. They also have patio seating. I took my food to go and did my favourite thing: ate in my car! Yep, the secret's out, I love eating alone in my car parked in a parking lot or on the street. I did this long before the Pandemic, I just appear less weird doing it now! If I really like ya, I'll invite you to eat in my car with me, but this invitation has been extended to very few people (and now with the Pandemic even less people, lol). Alright, enough about me and my idiosyncrasies, back to the restaurant... So the restaurant is in a plaza with lots of free parking. It's in the same plaza as Chocolats Favoris, Starbucks, and Farm Boy. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Kanata and like salad or grain bowls. They have wraps as well!

This place is awesome. To start off, the restaurant is quite big and has lots of seating, so you…read morecan usually come in without a reservation and get seated quickly. The food has always been fantastic, and the portions are always generous (keep that in mind when ordering!) The house potatoes that they have are the best (it's one of the main reasons that I eat brunch here) so definitely order something that comes with a side of potatoes if you can. For the crepes, something to keep in mind is that sometimes the crepe itself can be quite difficult to cut into. For example, we ordered the Crepe & Fruits, and it was so plentiful in fruits that when the crepe was opened it looked like a fruit salad (which unfortunately made it impossible to cut into). The crepe ended up getting cut up very messily, eaten alone and then the fruits eaten alone as well. There's only three options for crepes anyways, so just as a precaution I'd recommend getting a waffle instead (they're just as good but easier to eat!) The pancakes are even better- below is a picture of Carole's Cinna-cakes which is an absolute must have if you're a cinnamon roll fan like me. They were so good, and surprisingly super filling. I'm planning on coming back soon just to grab these again. Definitely an option I'd recommend! In general, though, most of the food items are great, and the nice part is that the menu is packed with different options to choose from, to the point where it might be overwhelming. It took us maybe 20 minutes to fully decide what we wanted to order because there were so many options that sounded delicious (maybe check the menu beforehand if you tend to get overwhelmed when ordering!) The area that this restaurant is in is also really practical. There's a bunch of different food places in the same row (like D-spot, Baton Rouge, etc), a nearby Landmark Cinema, Sportchek, and Centrum Plaza that's walking distance, which is perfect if you're looking to grab brunch with friends and then go for some shopping or walking around the area. All in all, so far all of our visits here have been fantastic, and it's definitely a great place to eat at!

They sell lots of different pastries but specialize in Middle Eastern pastries. I love their Znoud El Sit, and I went on a Thursday and they had them! Some places only have this on the weekends.

They have macarons for $1.50 each. I haven't tried them but they looked good. The bakery is really clean and well lit. Staff were nice. It's in a strip mall (right next door to Capital Buns Bakery).
