We spontaneously came across this great vegetarian restaurant. I had the ZORBA and my friend had the THE RAW BURGER. Presentations were colorful, and artistic, and both, absolutely, healthy and delicious. The staff were so sweet, friendly and helpful, and the service was excellent. I will definitely be returning to try some of the other items on their menu. Thank you for the wonderful experience. read more

5+++ Omg. Everything I tried was DELICIOUS. I had the tofu-mushroom burger, kale chips, Flirt kombucha, and a chocolate coconut bliss ball. The burger was . The coconut bliss ball was a perfectly sized, slightly sweet ending. I'd never had hibiscus-orange kombucha - it was lovely. When back in Ottawa, I'll definitely come again, and I highly recommend it. read more

La Belle Verte - Vegan Near Me - Hull, Quebec

Really nice little vegan restaurant. The atmosphere may not be the fanciest and prettiest but the food here is really good. Just driving through we were starving and stopped by to get something light and healthy. Our choice was a Lentil Soup that was divine (5/5), Cleopatra Salad was so good, I wish I had a recipe (5/5), and the Greek Pizza was okay. I didn't notice it's Raw Pizza so it was cold and I just can't be happy about eating cold pizza. Other than that (if heated), it would be good! Definitely a place to come back again! I have to add that the portions are pretty small. If you are hungry order 2-3 dishes. read more

What a cute vegetarian restaurant! I wasn't sure what to expect, since I usually don't go for vegetarian food, but this was pretty good. For a Wednesday night, they were half full, so it was no problem getting a table. Service is prompt and friendly. However, you pay the bill at the front, so I wouldn't say it's full table service. I opted for the goat cheese pizza with a side green salad ($15.95). My friend got the same but with a quinoa salad. The portion was very generous. We were surprised to see that we were given about 1/3 of a large pizza each. I was expecting a mini personal pizza or something. It was topped generously with pesto, veggies, and goat cheese. I would have preferred if they had sliced the pizza for easier eating. Instead, they provided a knife. The green side salad took up half the plate, very solid portion size, and it was delicious. They have some frozen sauces, soups, baked goods, and lasagna available to take home. A little on the pricey side, but I was full and satisfied. Not sure if I'd choose to go again, but I'm not mad that I went! read more

A carnivore at heart, I was curious about this place due to the great reviews, so I decided to come here after work for bite to eat (before getting oysters at Le Cellier on Wednesday)! I tried one of the salads (Athena) and cooked pizzas (goat cheese), as well as their three layer cake. - Salad (Athena): a really large portion, but most of it was salad leaves, so not very filling. There are a few crackers and some "cheese", but it largely consisted of vegetables. However, flavour was really fresh and the dressing was a nice balance of salty, sour, and sweet! There was a lot of olives! - Cooked Pizza (wild goat): I liked the "cheese" on top of this, but the portion was not that big. If you're male, you probably need to order something else. Interesting concept! - 3 Layer Cake: this had a layer of almond, raspberry, and chocolate. By far, the chocolate layer was the best; not too sweet nor dense. I couldn't really taste the almond in the almond layer. The fruit sauce drizzled over the cake was quite sour and overpowered the tastes of the different layers, but for a gluten-free cake, it tasted quite good! Just pricey at $6.50 a slice. Service was friendly and they refilled the water. If you go for dinner, make a reservation as the place fills up fast (a lot of customers seem to be students). There is free parking after 5:00PM on the street in Gatineau! Overall, I would probably not come back as I left still hungry (probably need to order 2 dishes to be full), or order dishes that have more protein/cheese/tofu in them. If you're craving a super healthy, green meal, this would be it! Can't wait to try Govinda's buffet in Ottawa once it opens up in September as it's under $10! read more

We had one meal here and got a bunch of food to go, too. Wish we could have eaten here at least one more time, but we were already leaving Ottawa :( Great selection of food with something for everyone. I love the unique homemade crackers and raw pizza options. Will definitely be back the next time I visit Ottawa. read more

Satisfying, well flavored and spiced cooked veggies soft enough to be comfort food while still retaining crunch. Served over hot buckwheat noodles with peanut sauce and Palm size quarter inch thick flavored tofu squares for protein. Borscht to start, cold thick with blended beets, not quite smooth, Indian spices with cumin and heat, which I enjoyed. This restaurant, vegetarian or raw or vegan, was a nice change from usual road food. On a Wednesday evening 6:30 pm it was good that we had made a reservation. It is a very popular restaurant. read more

As I can't eat wheat, I was excited that most of the dishes were gluten-free or used spelt flour. After thoroughly reading the menu, my partner and I each ordered a wrap and swapped half, so we could try both. Our food was beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. The wraps were flavourful and filled with lots of fresh vegetables. We split a piece of 3-layer cake after. It was surprisingly refreshing and delivered a burst of flavour with each bite. I'll be sure to stop by every time I'm in Ottawa/Gatineau! read more

I very highly recommend this restaurant. My wife and I have been 100% very strict vegans now for 7 months. And when I say strict, I mean strict. As an example... we won't even consume foodstuffs containing honey or even gelatin ingredients. La Belle Verte offers a large variety of incredible, truly vegan menu items -- and they DO NOT skimp on portion sizes. Until recently, I had been a huge meat-loving carnivore, but due serious medical issues, I've had to give it all up. The food prepared at this little tiny out of the way dinette type of eatery was simply out of this world deliciously scrumptious. I never missed the meat at all. We each started with the Soup of the Day Vegetable Soup which was so very chunky it felt more like a stew and it was perfectly seasoned. Following that we both had the Athena salad which contained an enormous number of very palatable veggies, etc, with an absolutely unforgettable balsamic dressing and the most amazing Zorba un-cheese topping. And it was freakin' HUGE. My main was the Tofu-Champi Burger and hers was the Zorba sandwich. Both were so extremely satisfying that we ended up having to bring much of it home with us -- and believe me, we each have huge appetites normally. In fact, we both will state here and now that our sandwiches were the very best we've actually ever eaten, even before becoming vegan. Every single aspect of each of our dishes was so perfectly balanced in terms of all the typical taste profiles. Couple this with the very honest fact that every single moment of our experience here was also nothing short of excellent, thanks to the exceptional staff, particularly our server. Unfortunately, we neglected to grab her name, but it was at 2pm, FRI Mar 18 2022 at table #2 by the window. She was by far the MOST helpful food industry professional we've ever come across. I was looking for a specific unique type of tea for which they did not sell, but she recommended a nearby tea store which would have it. Also, in learning that we were fairly new to veganism, she also even recommended we try one of their competitors restaurants. I mean what! Omg! That's unheard of. Well... I hardly ever use the term perfection, but in this case, this restaurant certainly deserves such a credit. Very well done folks. We will be back often. read more

Super yummy food! My son had an oven baked pizza whilst I had the steam bowl with noodles and the recommended house satay sauce.....it did not disappoint. The freshly made meals were well presented. Service was great and friendly. We are wondering how to eat there again on our road trip returning home read more

Excellent place to enjoy a healthy and delicious lunch. I had the El Chiapas chapita, with a dhal soup and a quinoa salad. Everything was delicious! On top of that, the staff is very friendly. When in Ottawa, cross the bridge to Gatineau and come to this place. read more

A mean green veggie restaurant in this part of town (Hull) - finally! This vegetarian, vegan and raw food specialty restaurant is located in the heart of Old Hull (Vieux Hull) on Eddy street (connects to Chaudiere Bridge and Booth street). It's a small, neighbourhood type of eatery, but it's incredibly charming and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. The menu has a wide selection of exotic dishes as well as "green" twists on traditional dishes (like raw pizzas!). The prices were reasonable for the most part, considering that many "green" restaurants tend to be pricey. The accessible menu and its affordable costs make it an ideal place to introduce your non-vegetarian friends to your lifestyle! Although breakfasts seem completely out of question because of their business hours, and portions are not excessively large in general, this is definitely a place to try. La Belle Verte is near many small local businesses, including a food market, the Cha Yi tea house, Summium Chocolaterie (new) and Studio Mouvement (a yoga and dance school). read more

I had one of the best sandwiches in my life at this place. I almost didn't get to eat here because they don't take credit (only bank cards and cash). However, they accepted my US money at par. La Belle Verte is really cute and colorful and has a nice open kitchen. You go up to the counter and order your food, then sit down. You can also get take out here, so in that case after you order you just wait in the seats across from the counter. You pay at the end by going back up to the counter. They have a tip jar up at the register if you feel like leaving a little something for the nice people here! Basically half the menu is Raw and half the menu isn't, but it is all 100% vegan and mostly organic. Prices are completely reasonable! I wasn't feeling raw, so I got The Zorba Sandwich ($6) which contains Zorba Greek un-cheese (cashews, black olives, and fine herbs), roasted red peppers and onions, tomatoes, carrots, parsley, sprouts and greens, sun dried tomato tapenade, and the house mayonnaise. I bit in and it was an explosion of flavor. I highly suggest getting this if you come here. This had to be one of the best sandwiches I ever had. The only downer about this place is the parking. I think there is a lot behind it, but I'm not sure if it's for customers. It is really small anyway. There is metered parking right outside, but it is 25¢ per 7 minutes! That is down right insane! You get a 1.5 hour max. The parking patrol is very on top of the meters, so make sure you feed them properly. If you are ever passing though here, check this place out! read more

I love this little resto! Everything about it and all the plates they have are absolutely delicious and not as pricey (I find in comparison to pay per kilo). The only reason why it wasn't a 5 is only due to a bit of slow service on the occasions I have been there. Otherwise the staff are super pleasant and very helpful. I always recommend this vegan restaurant not only to other vegetarians/vegans but also my friends in general who wish to eat healthier. But oh so delicious! I love the tempeh wraps! My favourite. read more

Fantastic place. I am not a vegan but love going here to expose me to the world of raw eating and how yummy vegan food really is. The best part is the incredible desserts! Yes, I said desserts -- such as peanut and chocolate bars and the citron/key lime tarts! Plus really tasty sauces and the flatbreads are delicious! It's a nice causal place. Sort of like a coffee house environment but with really great food options! read more

Great food, good ambience. For a vegetarian like me the food here was uniquely different and fresh. I ordered Kale chips-Lentil burger-Raspberry torte-Coconut water. Service was great and food was served relatively quick. Great place to try something new and healthy. It may be tough to sit in with kids but I am sure they will love the food so take out may be great for families with little ones. Will definitely return read more

La Belle Verte - a sandwich and a salad on a plate - Vegan Near Me - Hull, Quebec

This was my first visit and I LOVED IT. The food was amazing and so tasty! Good proportions and the service was fast and cheerful. The menu had a lot options for every diet. At least half the items were raw. My friend had the daily smoothie and thought it was delicious. I had the tofu Eden sandwich with Pesto and I was not disappointed. Great ambiance and cute dining room. They also had a large selection of vegan desserts including chocolate tarts, brownies and cake. Highly recommended. read more

My go-to veg spot has always been The Green Door. So I wanted to try something new! I found La Belle Verte on UrbanSpoon.com. It's towards the end of Eddy Street in Hull. It's a very unique, charming little space with colourful, mixed matched tables and chairs. Almost their entire menu is vegan! Unless it lists Goat Cheese- you can assume it vegan! That is really impressive, especially considering how large their menu is! Service, albeit nothing to write home about, was fairly fast. Our server made it seem like we were inconveniencing her with our presence. The food is absolutely delicious! I had a pizza and a salad (Cleopatra salad?) Which was totally divine! Although I found it a bit on the pricey side of things, I would recommend La Belle Verte and I would certainly revisit. We had found that many alterations and upgrades to our order sure packs a punch to the wallet. Another down side was the lack of alcohol. read more

love this place! very thoughtful menu and great options for my grain-free diet. we had the quiche and veggie roll. portions look small but they are packed w nutrients and taste amazing! my 12-year old omnivorous dining companion loved her first visit. read more

La Belle Verte - veggie rolls and the quiche. crust of nuts/seeds - no grains. yum! - Vegan Near Me - Hull, Quebec

Service - 9 Food - 9 Atmosphere - 9 Value - 9...with the caveat, I am an American who is unfamiliar with the cost of food in Ottawa, but I am familiar with the cost of similar fare in Boston. The Mrs and I, traveling to Ottawa from Massachusetts on vacation, were looking for a place for lunch. Yelp pointed us in the direction of La Belle Verte, just 10 minutes from downtown Ottawa. We were both very happy with the experience. The shop is quiet and comfortable. Our server was very pleasant. The food was terrific. We started with a Summer Roll that was large, crisp and fresh. We continued with two entrees that we could share - All Dressed Pizza and a Tofu&Mushroom Burger. The burger had excellent taste and consistency. It had good crunch and all the flavors worked well together. The pizza was olivey, messy and very flavorful. It was small, but there was still enough to take with us for later. I'm not sure if this was a great value, but it was a very enjoyable meal and I would certainly recommend a stop in. We need places like this in our neck of the woods. Maybe someday. They also have a well stocked case of prepared items to buy and enjoy at home. read more

This little vegan restaurant is just a hundred meters away from where I live and, although I am not a vegan, it has become my favorite lunch spot here in Gatineau. The greek pizza is my go-to menu item, but I have tried almost everything they have to offer and have yet to be disappointed. The owners and staff of this little gem have done a masterful job re-opening during these challenging times, and they've preserved the charm, quality and level of service in doing so. Thank you La Belle Verte! read more

Love love love this restaurant!!! I have never been disappointed and am on a mission to try everything on the menu but I have to say after having The Gong wrap (smokey and spicy marinated tempeh, tomatoes, carrots, roasted onion, mushrooms, red pepper, cucumber, avocado, mixed greens, fresh basil & mint, house chipotle mayo, thai chili sauce and marinated onions) which was grilled to perfection, might be one of THE best wraps i have EVER had in my life, it might be hard to try something else. Yup already trying to figure out when I can go back... read more

Great food, fresh, healthy and served with a smile. Love this quaint little restaurant. A regular destination for a great vegan lunch.

Nice presentation of dishes, friendly service, but personally I didn't find the food satisfying (too bland) and the portions were also small. For example, I ordered pizza, that surprisingly came as 1/3 of a full pizza. As an Italian, when I order pizza I expect the full pizza. read more

Awesome place. Organic, delectable, relaxed. Try the cashew-cheese pizza (cooked or raw).

Delicious! Have been a few times. They're super nice and the food is amazing. I'm not vegetarian or vegan or follow special dietary regiment, but I absolutely love their food (even though there's no meat! It's just that good!) It's conveniently located for me, but beware that there's only street parking. You will usually have to pay the metre, but you can also just park on a side street for free. read more

Several months ago I went to La Belle Verte for the second time and was very disappointed with size of the portions for the price paid. Notwithstanding I decided to try it a third time to give it a fair chance and I found the waitress rude and the service lacking. As I got up from my chair, i heard my down coat tear and down was pouring out. The corner the upper chair support and round back caught coat and it's now history. One of the waiters came by and had me fill out an incident report. Today I called the owner asking for some form of compensation and here reply was "s_h_i_ t happens, and I'm not prepared to do anything". That's it. I shall not return to La Belle Verte. read more
