The Table

Finally someone has put together my two favourite components of dining: Vegan and Buffet. The selection was incredible, as I filled my plate with a little bit of everything. It was all delicious. The staff were really friendly as they ensured every customer was taken care of. This is a real gem for vegan and vegetarians, a place I will certainly be returning to.

Most restaurants pretend to be clean. While the Table actually serves wholesome clean food that leaves you feeling better after eating then when you came in. The customer service is warm and the manager really knows how to make a customer feel welcome. I have a 9 year old who she helped serve and even took the time to explained how they prepare and cook the food! Do yourself a favour and try the food and service out.

Good variety and creative choices on offer. Some staples are always served but there is a clear effort to push the envelope. Clean place, reasonable pricing (by weight). Their dessert buffet is where most items remain unchanged and for food reason - they are really good. Soups are generally OK but occasionally unexciting due to overwhelming tomato flavour. Would recommend for vegetarians, vegans, omnivores and carnivores alike.

My husband and I were very happy with the vegan gluten free pizza special. The crust was a wonderful texture and the toppings and sauce were very flavourful. It came with summer cabbage salad (which was very fresh and yummy) and also included a chocolate avocado brownie which was the perfect amount of sweetness and very delicious. The people there were really nice. I will definitely go back 😃

We tried The Table on our last day before heading back. We have always had the struggle to find good food in Ottawa restaurants, except for breakfast, and The Table continued the tradition. Food: They do have a wide buffet spread and some quite interesting things. However, they have overused Tofu to the extent that your plate looked pretty much monotonous, especially for the main course items. I am not sure if this was a just one-day thing or a norm. Most of the items didn't really taste well, except for the patties and corn rice. In terms of dessert, there were some good options and I did like raw blueberry balls and the cake. Overall, some good desserts and salads but would have loved to have some variety in the main course - vegan doesn't mean just Tofu. Ambiance: Quite bright (natural sunlight) with large seating space. The place was not crowded when we visited, so we did have options to choose from. Very traditional restauranty ambiance. There is a small section from where you can pick some packed stuff as well - prepared food, spices etc. Staff: It is pretty much self-serve, so there isn't much staff interaction, except for the payment part. Their replenishment rate was good - hardly any vessel empty. They charge on the basis of plate weight which is quite interesting. Unfortunately, they were out of power when we visited so instead of by weight, we just paid up front. The gentleman was very friendly and courteous. Overall, not a restaurant that I would remember to go to.

Not only is this place much easier to eat at because it caters to dietary needs, but the food is also delicious! Non vegetarians/vegans would enjoy eating here just as much. Everything is by weight, which works really well for me because you can grab a portion you can realistically finish. Love the care put into the ingredients. Great staff too. Definitely coming back here!
