    Tapas were very big enough for 4 people! Food was good. We went as a group and service and split billing was good.

    Upon walking in, there was an odd smell. Eventually we got used to it, haha. The salad was great, I…read morecreated my own but for the price we paid, I'm shocked that there are so few veggies. Great but not worth the price.

    The Chopped Leaf is a Canadian chain from out west and this location at Trainyards is the first in…read moreOttawa. It just opened a few weeks ago. I was really excited to see more healthy food options in the area and stopped by for lunch recently. Overall it was satisfactory, but I personally was not wowed. The concept is similar to Freshii (another chain that does not wow me). They have set salads, sandwiches, bowls, etc. or you can build your own. Ingredients are pre-prepped, but your meal is assembled when you order it. The thing about places with this kind of set up is that I feel that they need something that sets them apart from similar places, and something that makes their salads more special than me just making my own salad at home. For example, Copper Branch has their carrot keftedes and shiitake teriyaki, and the local Pi-Rho Grill marinades and cooks their own meats which have a Mediterranean flair. I can't easily re-create these items at home. However, I feel that I can easily re-create what I had at The Chopped Leaf. I ordered the full sized Spa Salad ($9.25) and added grilled chicken ($3.25) = $12.50. The Spa Salad was mixed greens, grape tomatoes, chickpeas, dried cranberries, and walnuts. The menu said that it was supposed to contain carrots, but I actually received cucumbers instead. Not a big deal, but I had not asked for the substitution. The default dressing was a balsamic dressing, which I asked for on the side and it arrived as requested. The salad came with a single small pita chip. The chicken was lean chicken breast, and to my taste buds, similar to the chicken breast strips they use at Domino's pizza or Subway Sandwiches (or Maple Leaf Prime, Lilydale, Ziggy's, or President's Choice Chicken Breast Strips you'd find at the grocery store). Not deli meat, but still somewhat processed. Thankfully, it was better than the spongy chicken I've had at Freshii. I was also disappointed that I found some wilted leaves in the salad and one piece that was slimy and had began to liquify (see picture). The salad was the sum of its parts. I feel that I could have made it at home. I suppose that perhaps some of their other salad dressings are more unique and maybe those dressings set them apart. Service was friendly. The manager/owner (?) even came over and asked me how I was enjoying my salad, which I thought was a nice gesture. I had just started eating and it was before I found the wilted lettuce. The place is brand spanking new and looks modern and clean. I feel that this place is for people who want healthy foods, and want the convenience of not having to make it themselves. When I eat out, I personally am looking for food that I can't easily make at home, so for this reason I was not thrilled by this place. It is not my kind of place, but may appeal to others. The restaurant is next to Great Hobbies, near Scores Rotisserie. There's lots of free parking.

    This place is in the Rideau Centre food court. I had lunch here recently. I wanted the Bacon…read moreLobster salad but was told they didn't have anymore lobster. Then I wanted the Taco Shrimp salad but was told they didn't have any shrimp either. For real? So I ended up getting the Cobb salad, which was $10.50, and contained spring mix, grilled chicken, bacon bits, avocado, grape tomatoes, and chopped egg. It usually comes with your choice of blue cheese or ranch dressing, but to the dismay of Cobb Salad purists I opted for the balsamic vinaigrette instead. You can get a free little piece of bread with your salad. The ingredients were fresh. I felt that there wasn't very much chicken in it though. However there was a lot of egg. I think there must have been like 2 eggs in there. I really liked the balsamic dressing. It was tangy yet smooth. The spring mix was a true spring mix, not mostly romaine with some token leaves of other greens like some places. Overall the salad was good, but I felt it was overpriced, and it didn't have anything really special about it. However, it was one of the few healthy choices available in the food court.

Makes you think of healthy The avocado brownie is a little dry(rice flour?) but it goes great with the smoothie. Second time in 2 days! Once again, leads you to think you are eating healthy

    We had come here as we were staying in the area from out-of-town, and wanted to try the food, as we…read morehad read excellent reviews. We were happy that we did decide to give this place a try, as it was everything that we had expected, and more! When we walked-in, we were greeted by a young man, that asked if we wanted take-out or dine-in. We chose dine-in however, the restaurant was quite busy at the time so, we had to be seated at a table near the front entrance. Upon sitting, we noticed the iPad that was on the table for ordering. We were also given paper menus to look at, which was easier. Once we had placed our orders, we waited only about ten minutes for our salads to arrive, along with the hummus and pita bread. The salads were absolutely amazing; the bowls were filled to the brim with cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, olives, and feta cheese. All of the ingredients were fresh and tasty, and that dressing, WOW; it was delicious! It tied the salad in so well, it was the best salad we had ever tried at a Greek restaurant. The hummus was also delicious, with heated-up pita bread creating the finishing touches. This hummus was definitely homemade, and marvellous! We even asked for an additional pita, as the one we had wasn't enough for the four of us. This appetizer was definitely a great start! Once our main meals arrived, we were pleasantly surprised at how large the portions were. And the homemade sauce on top of the rice was wonderful; I don't know how they made the sauce, but it was perfect with the rice. The chicken was tender, with the tzatziki sauce not being needed often due to the tenderness. The potatoes were huge, and deliciously spiced. The meal was massive, and we couldn't finish it all; definitely worth what we had paid for! Throughout the entire meal, the server checked on us, bringing us water when we had asked, and making sure we were well taken care of. As we were leaving, the owner/chef asked where we were visiting from, and if we enjoyed the food. This place was hands-down the best Greek restaurant that we've ever been to; down to earth family-owned, amazing food, and great hospitality. Will definitely be back, and would recommend that you all try it as well; you won't be disappointed!

    I was looking for a good Mediterranean food restaurant outside downtown to avoid the traffic and…read moreexpensive parking... This restaurant did it. It's located in a small strip and sometimes it takes time to find parking but not bad at all. The food is really good and fresh... You can feel the flavor of the marination and cook in the grill. The plate that I would go back for?.... The pork souvlaki and the excelent garlicky hummus. The service is super friendly and the chef will always ask if everything was as a good as we expected. The atmosphere is simple but practical and confortable. I've been here 3 times and I think I will go back everytime I come back to Ottawa.

    So I struggled to write this because I used to love this restaurant. The portion sizes were…read moresignificantly shrunk, and the brewed coffee was horrendous. I usually get a latte there but decided on a regular one, that was a mistake. Their food did taste good, and their chutney was still delicious but the service was a bit gruff. They weren't rude by any means but I was ignored for 10 mins just waiting to ask for a takeout box. I could tell he was a bit overwhelmed and probably having an off morning, so I didn't take it personally. But when I'm paying $30 for one breakfast bowl and a coffee, I'd expect more than 2 cherry tomatoes cut in half and a few mushrooms in it. The food is delicious but you're definitely overpaying and 50/50 on the coffee lol

    In search for weekend brunch this place came up we thought of trying it out. Parking in streets is…read morenot existent. Had really look at side streets a bit far to get one. All the nearby spots are reserved for the apartment dwellers in the building. Ordered a Huevo Ranchero ($16) - which came with scrambled eggs two corn tortillas with salsa, cheese, sour cream and a side order of fries. The eggs could have used some seasoning even with salsa it needed something extra A Vegan Breakfast Bowl ($14) - a mixture of tofu, spinach, mushrooms and tomato chutney - which somehow tasted to all 4 of us like onion chutney. The vegetables done good, but tofu again had just no flavour. Tofu had a spice rub all over, but it tasted like plain tofu. The Bacun strips were rice paper rolls with some attempted flavours but none came through. And two Vegan Bennies ($16) - a super grainy slice of bread topped with the same tofu, green onions, Bacun and some red pepper strips (NOT Coulis as described in the menu). If some person was having a tofu dish for the first time I think they would describe tofu as no flavour at all. We vegans know that you can do amazing things with Tofu. The home fries in the above dishes was the best - now that we could give 5 out 5. All of us had to go and get Sriracha and Ketchup from the counter to rescue the dishes. Coffee was too weak as well. When you go in and order on the counter and you get food delivered to your table. Should the restaurant still offer to tip on the machine BEFORE even we were served? The order did take a long time, the table not clean when we sat, no condiments on the table and coffee refills slow. An extra star for giving tons of vegan options
