Pure Kitchen

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! (Fantastic Bowl, Warrior Bowl.)

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 :)

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.

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.
