The blooming onion has a delicious crispy batter and a warm sauce beneath it. It can use a bit more seasoning is all. The Stir fry is great, the sauce has amazing flavours and the green beans are quite crunchy :) too crunchy for me, however, still enjoyed it. The carbonara is fantastic as well, very generous amount of scrumptious sauce and topped with tempeh. The tempeh wasn't our fave but the pasta 100%. I am so happy I ordered the Lions mane, it's perfect blend of flavour and amount is just wow, I loved it. Looking forward to trying more!

I'm not vegan but everything that I tried I really enjoyed and I loved the feeling of not feeling fully gross at the end of the night. I also did their wine pairing and it was so good, they have a great selection of wines. Service was great, everyone was kind and we even got to talk to the chef, he was so friendly and explained the dishes himself. I also love how cozy and well decorated inside is. If you're open to try new things or love vegan food this is definitely the place to go, everything was excellent.

The Buffalo Mac & Cheese was the star of the meal, with its super generous portion, creamy sauce, pasta cooked to perfection, and crispy tofu on top. My grilled cheese was also delicious, although the tomato soup was scalding hot so I couldn't fully appreciate it after burning my taste buds with the first sip. My friend got the chipotle burger and fries, and was very pleased with her choice, in flavor, portion, and temperature. I was bummed that I didn't have room for dessert. The skillet cookie sounded worth it. Maybe next time!

Astoria is a nice little restaurant in Gatineau, QC, across the river from Ottawa, where my…read moreboyfriend and I were staying. We decided to go because it looked like a nice place. That they had French onion soup was another plus. We arrived around 6:00 p.m. on a Tuesday and were shown to a table. We naturally ordered a bowl each of the soup, but I think we could have shared that and the Caesar salad (another dish I often order at vegan restaurants). I've had vegan onion soups I've liked better, but this was pretty good. For my entree, I ordered the risotto with king oyster mushroom "scallops," while my boyfriend got the gnocchi. The risotto was perfectly cooked, but I would have liked more mushroom scallops. The gnocchi was also pretty good, but not my favorite. If your French is rusty, fear not. The servers do speak English, and they do offer English menus (even if the website is primarily in French). If you're in Ottawa, it's worth a trip across the river.

I rarely see Steak Tartare on a menu so I ordered that and enjoyed it, especially whatever sauce they put on the side. Speaking of sauces, the fries came with a side sauce that was also tasty. Vichyssoise was excellent, too! I loved the blackboard drawings and all the owl paraphernalia, too. All in all, a good meal, experience and without booze we had two nice lunches for around $40 pre-tip. Nice!

From the moment we got there, everyone was super accommodating despite the fact that we were like 2 minutes from the kitchen closing. No worries, got our dinner and drinks orders in quickly and service was just awesome. The food came out and we were blown away. You may wonder how a veggie burger and a hamburger could be that awesome but they were. My wife had a side salad with watermelon and mint that she demolished. I had the sirloin burger that was perfectly cooked with a side of garlic aioli that was to die for. The food here is awesome. Nothing to smack talk about and the service from Valerie was extraordinary. If you're in Wakefield, come here for sure.

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.

Excellent concept, chill atmosphere, yummy eats and friendly staff!…read more I just moved around this area and was highly recommended to check this place out. I love to eat vegetarian as much as possible and this place has many tasty options. Lots of salads, vegetables, healthy options and some vegetarian junk food. They charge by weight and I found the price to be quite reasonable (cost around 30$ for two people and it was a ton of food). Desserts are a bit on the pricier side and we didn't try any this time. They also do takeout at a slightly discounted price! Will definitely be returning here!

The variety of offerings was exceptional, all well prepared, all nicely seasoned. It does get a bit crowded near the food stands during busy times. Bonus points for refrigerated take-home portions of their entrees. I wish I had seen that tap water was available at all tables before checking out. But if you want a chilled beverage with your meal, your best option is something from the refrigerated case. Had I discovered this place sooner during my stay, I probably would have been here more often.

For such a meager menu, I think that's duck overkill. Beef tartare comes in second being listed twice. Not being crazy over duck, I opted for the fish and chips and I have to give it to them, their's has got to be the best in the area. Their fish always just tastes so fresh and the batter is perfect. My husband had the duck salad and thoroughly enjoyed it. Despite the place not being busy, service was slow. It's a great place, I just wish the menu was more varied and I wish to God that not every table in that place was a high top. A few regular tables scattered about would not go amiss.

The waiters visit you frequently and refill your water many times throughout the meal. This place has a diverse menu with lots of interesting menu options, all equally as delicious as the next. Before this place wasn't so busy, but now it is hard to get a walk-in table. Be sure to call for reservations beforehand. I had and will always order their freaking amazing fish and chips that are cooked to a perfect golden brown crisp. Portion is quite large but I believe the price is very fair and can be split between 2 people with a smaller appetite. I will be posting a picture of the dish because the presentation is beautiful! Details about my dish: The fries are shoe string cut seasoned fries that are damn good. You get 3 filets of haddock that are never soggy with a perfect amount of crisp. The tartar sauce is paired with an alternative guacamole type spread that is equally as quite tasty. Ask for garlic mayo and it is great on the fish and chips or with the fries. There is a salad in the centre with mixed lettuce and a vinaigrette sauce that is also great... But not as great as the fish!

Man, I normally don't even like coleslaw. I asked my husband if he wanted it but tried it first and I was like "NVM!" LOL. The slaw was garlicky. It was so bomb. The fish was haddock. At first I thought it was cat fish but haddock is even better. My husband said he enjoyed his chicken sandwich. The fries are fresh cut. Had some great flavor and loved how thin and crispy they are.

I'll say it again, because I legitimately said it twice out loud with a mouth full of the best burger in this city. "DAMN! That's a TASTY FUCKIN' BURGER!" Eating here was fine. It's a small joint. Very reminiscent of proper burger joints from times in this city, past. This is by far, the best damn burger in this city, hands down.

Hand made patties, proper. in house, smoked bacon, with a proper smoke ring on the edge. ...ok, ok, but ITS A GEM OF A PLACE.

At home. Thank you greatl, Moe. You made mine and my sons day. We needed those incredible burgers, with smoked bacon, and real cheese. I have only made two yelp reviews in the past. One, was to complain, one was for a former Turkish bodega, that couldn't weather the Covid of business, and you, Moe. You being the face and conversation, that also grilled those INCREDIBLE BURGERS! Hands down. Your burgers are 11/10, for this sleepy city. And I imagine they can't be replicated by ways of franchise. There are few that take the pride that you do, Moe, in offering the mint burger that you do. I should be back within two weeks, brother. I absolutely appreciate your care and grill mastery. Absolutely, fuckin', LOVELY. ...I can go on, but, it'd be better to learn from experience, by the uninitiated. I lived the dream today. To the dreamers. The dream is alive, offered up dinner in the cabane style. THE BEST BURGER IN OTTAWA. Proper. I will legit fight someone that says differently. But, they may just have a dented pallet. if the beef isn't seasoned properly, the whole burger is bland. Moe, he ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTANDS
