Food is decent, as always, but very expensive for prepared veggies. Service is always bad every visit - most recent visit: no 2 bite check, no pleasantries and hovering when paying. Quiet afternoon (2 tables full) but pleasant.

If you have food allergies/sensitivities, this is definitely the place to go. Delicious! One of my favorites... I've been enjoying Pure Kitchen for over ten years now, and it's always a breath of fresh air to not have to worry about what I order affecting my health (gluten/dairy free). Thanks Pure Kitchen!

Had the tortilla chips and dip as an appetizer then the vegan burger. My friends had different tofu dishes which were equally delicious.

I had the Awesome Burger and got food poisoning. Not so awesome.

Great flavour in every dish, particularly the appetizers. The bibimbap was a little bland compared to the broccoli and cauliflower apps. The smoothy was amazing. Given the prices, this would be a special occassion destination for me.

Service was great. Food was good however quite expensive the the quantity received. The last washroom is rather dirty and looked a little worse for wear.

We were happy to discover a vegan and gluten free friendly restaurant near the Canadian tire center! The staff were super friendly and the dishes comforting and delicious!

Web had the power up lunch which was great value gor the money. The food was delicious and portions generous

TLDR: fine, but probably wont return.
Just shy of $100 for 2 adults and a child, no drinks. I feel kind of bad for the place. I think they were hoping to replicate the other locations, but it hasn’t caught on in Kanata.
The food was okay. But given the price, I was underwhelmed. The most interesting part of the experience happened at the end. I took a peak inside the kitchen at the back and there was food (mostly fries) all over the floor. That piqued my interest and sent me into Columbo mode. I then noticed there was garbage strewn about the floor behind the counter.
Is there a restaurant you can dine at in Ottawa where you don’t feel like a sucker?
Really liked the food and drinks here! Had 2 different cocktails that were not full of sugar and you could actually taste the ingredients :) the meal was the same, you could taste the ingredients. Staff was also great.
It's not the fanciest restaurant, I don't care, it was great for me, but I can see why some people would want fancier atmosphere or whatever.
We will definitely be going back more often...

Been many times. Reliable and consistent menu. There are healthy options and you can get poutine as well.

Thrive salad - although good it is truly just mixed greens with a few cucumber and 3 chickpea falafels. Not sure its the best value but still enjoyable. Radical cauliflower wings - do not recommend the doirean bbq - much too saucy - buffalo hot sauce was nice although sticky and somewhat caramalized. Reforrmed kale caesar and ignite were greatly enjoyed by my daughters. We all ended up taking some home as the portions were generous.

They had a table reserved for our reservation, no wait time. Service was as good, she gave us time to talk and order. The food was ok, more raw veggies than anything else in all the dishes we ordered (5 of us). Place was bright and we were able to have a conversation without yelling. Price is a bit expensive - avg $50pp (taxes incl without alcohol) - drink, 2 shared app and a main each.

Great food, good serving sizes, staff were friendly. Not a ton of tables and not a fancy dining area. Food and drinks were very good though.
