The blooming onion has a delicious crispy batter and a warm sauce beneath it. It can use a bit more seasoning is all. The Stir fry is great, the sauce has amazing flavours and the green beans are quite crunchy :) too crunchy for me, however, still enjoyed it. The carbonara is fantastic as well, very generous amount of scrumptious sauce and topped with tempeh. The tempeh wasn't our fave but the pasta 100%. I am so happy I ordered the Lions mane, it's perfect blend of flavour and amount is just wow, I loved it. Looking forward to trying more!

I've been wanting to try Ottawa Perogies for some time, but they have limited hours and are a bit…read moreout of the way for me, so I only recently got around to it. They sell perogies and other Eastern European snacks. Overall, the food was good, and reminded me of the home cooking of the mothers of my Slavic friends. I found the prices a bit high for what they were, but I guess nowadays that's not unsurprising. I got a ground pork and rice bun ($4), a ground beef crepe ($4) and a cottage cheese pancake ($4). The ground pork and rice bun was reminiscent of a cabbage roll in bun form, minus the cabbage and the tomato sauce, lol. It was heavy on the bun and rice and light on the pork, but tasted like comfort food. It reminded me a bit of the Asian buns filled with fillings like BBQ pork or curry beef as well. The bun was soft and almost brioche-like. The ground beef crepe was tasty, albeit a bit oily for my tastes. The crepe is a bit sweet, while the meat is slightly salty. The cottage cheese pancake was slightly sweet and I should have eaten this one last, as it was more dessert-like. I like that the cheese was thick and had a nice texture. Overall, the three items made a good snack. Service was courteous. The lady asked if I wanted the items warmed up and I liked that she placed them on a real plate to microwave them before putting them into a styrofoam box (I have seen some places put styrofoam in the microwave [shudder]). I mean I would have preferred if the box was cardboard, but at least they don't microwave styrofoam. The shop is located in a strip mall. There's plenty of free parking in the strip mall.

Just driving through we were starving and stopped by to get something light and healthy.

I didn't notice it's Raw Pizza so it was cold and I just can't be happy about eating cold pizza. Other than that (if heated), it would be good! Definitely a place to come back again! I have to add that the portions are pretty small. If you are hungry order 2-3 dishes.

The Buffalo Mac & Cheese was the star of the meal, with its super generous portion, creamy sauce, pasta cooked to perfection, and crispy tofu on top. My grilled cheese was also delicious, although the tomato soup was scalding hot so I couldn't fully appreciate it after burning my taste buds with the first sip. My friend got the chipotle burger and fries, and was very pleased with her choice, in flavor, portion, and temperature. I was bummed that I didn't have room for dessert. The skillet cookie sounded worth it. Maybe next time!

Astoria is a nice little restaurant in Gatineau, QC, across the river from Ottawa, where my…read moreboyfriend and I were staying. We decided to go because it looked like a nice place. That they had French onion soup was another plus. We arrived around 6:00 p.m. on a Tuesday and were shown to a table. We naturally ordered a bowl each of the soup, but I think we could have shared that and the Caesar salad (another dish I often order at vegan restaurants). I've had vegan onion soups I've liked better, but this was pretty good. For my entree, I ordered the risotto with king oyster mushroom "scallops," while my boyfriend got the gnocchi. The risotto was perfectly cooked, but I would have liked more mushroom scallops. The gnocchi was also pretty good, but not my favorite. If your French is rusty, fear not. The servers do speak English, and they do offer English menus (even if the website is primarily in French). If you're in Ottawa, it's worth a trip across the river.

The large threw be back about 17 bucks, but it was so very worth it. I love that everything on their menu is super clean, and veg/vegan. Word on the street is that their shiitake teriyaki is amazing, so I want to go back and try that, as well as their "chicken wings."

They do offer the "mini" versions of the bowls which I actually appreciate as I usually find these type of bowls are huge and I end up wasting. The portion was just perfect...

TL;DR/The Short Version: Vegan fast food burgers. Pretty…read moregood for what it is. The Long Version: Odd Burger is a vegan fast food restaurant. So imagine McDonald's and Burger King got together had a baby and that baby grew up and became a vegan. That baby is Odd Burger. They serve burgers, nuggets, breakfast sandwiches, fries, onion rings, tater tots, poutine and milkshakes, and everything is vegan. The taste is very much fast food. The service and ambiance is also fast food style. My husband and I each got a BacUn Famous Melt Combo. In-store the price is $15.48, but it was $17.03 BOGO (buy one get one free) on UberEats, so I ordered it on the app for pick-up. The combo comes with fries. You can upgrade to tater tots, onion rings, poutine or lots of other options. I love that for your drink you can get a juice, coffee or tea for no extra charge. Most places only offer soft drinks and anything else is extra. You can upgrade to a milkshake for more money. We just got fries and orange juice. For our burger we had the choice of their regular smash patty or chickpea patty. We chose the former. The smash burger is made of wheat and soy protein, flax seeds, onions and nutritional yeast. The BacUn is made of oats, chickpeas and wheat gluten. It comes with vegan cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles and their special sauce (which tastes a bit like McDonald's Big Mac sauce). The burger comes with a sesame seed bun, but the sesame seeds are only on the top bun, so I gave my husband my top bun and he gave me his bottom bun, so it worked out for me and I didn't have to eat it bunless, lol. The burger itself was ok. The taste was very fast food-like. It didn't taste like meat but I appreciated it for what it was. I want to try the chickpea patty next time. The fries were thick and battered. They came piping hot and were crispy on the outside. The portion was nice and big. I enjoyed the fries. The orange juice was just regular orange juice, but I liked that I wasn't limited to choosing a soft drink. I eat meat, but I'm an equal opportunity eater, lol, so I wanted to try Odd Burger. I think it's a great option for vegans and vegetarians who miss eating at fast food burgers chains. For meat eaters I don't really see much advantage over regular fast food burgers chains. I mean it's not any healthier in terms of fat and sodium content. I suppose it might be better for the environment (?) I didn't find the taste that "wow" or anything. Maybe I'll like the chickpea patty better. There's not too much seating at this location. Just 4 tables for 2 which can be combined to make 2 tables for 4. Service was courteous and efficient. I do like that it's a Canadian chain. It even started off in my home province, Ontario! Street parking only. Review #131 (2025)
