Pay by weight restaurant

Great food variety. It can get expensive if you over serve yourself since you’re charged by weight, but worth it. It’s like an upscale cafeteria type ambiance, it gets busy during usual high peak eating hours like noon. You can find free 2 hrs parking on residential streets nearby.

Visited the Green Door and got a healthy dose of nostalgia. The place really hasn't changed much in 15 years. Of course I loaded up my plate with too much food, resulting in a $60 dining experience for a party of two.Some of the dishes were seasoned too generously and erred toward ethnic flavors. These were wasted on me. What I really enjoyed were old staples like the lasagna, the marinated avocado salad, and the fruit pie. Overall a good experience but, if I go back, I'd be less adventurous and stick to tried/tested.

This is by far the best vegetarian restaurant I have ever been to…perhaps even the best restaurant in Ottawa. I literally crave food from Green Door all the time and am obsessed. Definitely try this out

One of my fav places to eat. It brings me closer to home cuz most of the dishes are Indian. It's healthy, you could smell the heavenly restaurant across the street.I was there to pick up something to go, and wasn't disappointed at all with the whole process despite it being a lunch hour.Fresh food.- Always tasting delicious.- Lots of variety in dishes.- Dine in, our dine out on patio, or pack to go. Choice is yours.- Parking can be frustrating, but I don't mind walking.Suggestion: Please expand it further into franchise, without compromising the quality. That's all. I love this place!!!

Long standing restaurant offering self serve charge by weight style vegetarian dishes to every one!! Very versatile and you can see what every dish before you pick and portion to your liking …..While there are many choices, I do find the price by weight can really rack up if you are not attentive to what you pick and choose. ( $30 a dish is highly possible if you pick high liquid content dishes)But considering the varieties and the fact you can see what you want to eat, it is a great advantage for those who can never get menu descriptions.Vegan and gluten free available on menu description so even the most fussy eater can find something to eat from appetizer to dessert.Note: Cafeteria style so no table service so you need to get your own food and bring your used dishes and utensils back to the station.Tip: separate appetizer and main course by placing your appetizers in take out container and main course dinner in dine in dish. This way, you can take the left overs in case you don’t finish every thing. Further more, dine in dish is heavier than take out container and the charge is different as well.

This really is an amazing restaurant. I’ve been going for the last 15 years and it is consistently excellent. It is certainly not a budget-friendly option if you go hungry (expect to pay around $25-30 for a full plate, more if you add a side salad orSoup) but for the freshness and variety, it’s well worth it.

I feel this is good place to have organic, pure vegetarian food. They had many varieties and we pay it all by weight of the food!! And desserts are awesome, and we have many options in it though!!Must try!!

I have appreciated the Green Door much more since The Table restaurant closed during the pandemic, and I am grateful they are still open. Their gluten free cheesecake and apple berry crisp are my favourites, but I make sure to eat my veggies first. ;)It has a patio outside now that the weather has warmed up and I am looking forward to meeting a friend there sometime this summer. I love that they always provide fresh water at their tables, in reusable flip top glass bottles, since I don't tend to get drinks there. If they added glasses of milk to the menu, that would very likely change since I like milk with many desserts.I highly recommend it, though not as a cheap eats" option. It's the kind of place I might meet a friend I haven't seen in a year

A good vegetarian option in Ottawa. Fresh ingredients and food priced by weight with many options for desserts also. Pumpkin pie was tasty though with strong flavour. Nice Chai. Well organised and positive vibe. I have lots of pics for your perusal :). Much fresher taste than le Commencal options (of the past), though these were pioneers in my day. The options here are not inexpensive and you will pay around $15 for a plate then add the extras like dessert for $6-7.
