Closed? Drove here during my lunch break and the two buildings are empty.

Open kitchen food truck. My order was made after the two orders behind me. I regret tipping 15% (to insurer prompt service) or aything under these circumstances. Employees response to my comments about who was served last, was a facial expression of uncertain meaning. Not returning.

It's really great that you can order your food ahead of time and pick it up. It's a beautiful place and the staff are really nice. The veggie tacos are so tasty!

Really nice, clean chill spot. The staff are very friendly and they make great lunch food. The food feels high quality and healthy, a welcome change from unhealthy lunch grub you'd grab at work. The tacos are great. No it's not El Camino, but a lighter and more lunch like option.

I tried their shrimp curry, soup and chicken tacos to go and loved all of them! My favourite was definitely the curry, it’s just the right amount of spice and great portion for lunch or dinner if you’re alone. The chicken in the tacos was a bit dry but not enough to take off a star. The restaurant was really cute so I’ll definitely be back.

I cannot say enough about this place! The tacos are incredible always in fresh always delicious. I have never seen this place not busy. They have incredible salads and smoothies as well. Definitely definitely check this place out. Oh and it's also incredibly well priced for what you get. If there was six stars I would give it six stars!! Honestly try it you will not be disappointed

Finally, a cute, hipster place on the Gatineau side! The interior decor is lovely and cheerful. The people working there were also very friendly. The smoothies were delicious! It is a bit on the pricey side, but I would say that it is worth it!

The salad dressing on the salad is pretty bland, but healthy I'm sure. The tacos though... awesome. Priced lower than el camino and just as good. I would go back for sure, but only for tacos. They also have white wine, in cans. Which I think is awesome. Super friendly and bilingual staff. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Add lemon to the salad.

Dry salad served in an IGA style container... container so high that you make damage everywhere trying to eat not to mention a 20 minute wait for a salad when it was hardly busy.... No thank you. Quite disappointed!

A local gem to discover for healthy eating. The menu is limited, but worth it. The restaurant itself is small, but being located in Old Hull, many people take their meals to go. The staff is friendly.

Olivia: Fast Food Innovation. Quality ingredients and very friendly employees. Very original menu and everything is very fresh. The bistros are decorated up to date and welcoming. By far the best tacos in town. You also have to try the stuffed avocados which are a favorite for me, however coriander is often there so be sure to specify to exclude it if you are not a fan of this rebellious ingredient.

The Smoothies are really really good. The shrimp tacos, more than disappointing because I was expecting something other than a taste of Old El Paso. I havent tried the other items on the menu though, which could be very good.

December 22, 2018

First off, i hate leaving bad reviews... especially for this place. I love the concept, atmosphere, and the food. First time I tried it, my husband did take out and brought the food home. Next time - I went myself and was sooooo disappointed by the lack of hygiene displayed by the employee(s). The cashier entered my order on the tablet, passed me the debit machine, then proceeded to make my tacos... all without washing her hands. I was a little grossed out, and thought maybe I m being too sensitive and should just look away. BUT THEN, she kept scratching her neck and wiping her hands on the dirty bar towel used to clean the counters between each ingredient. It s so sad, because the food is delicious... but that just turned me right off it. Needless to say, I tossed out the tacos as soon as I left... boohoo!

December 22, 2018

Ouf. We desperately wanted to love this place. On the surface it sounded like a welcome addition to the Gatineau food scene. We were four adults who took 4 salads to go. Absolutely the worst salads Ive had. It was unanimous among our party of 4 X 4 salads. This cant be chance. Uninspired combinations. A heaping bowl of bland greens - very skimpy on the add-ons. I couldnt believe the dressing - this has to be store bought dressing. Kraft style. Everything was totally tasteless. SOOO much easier to bang out a delicious salad at home for a fraction of the cost. They tried to mimic Mandys Salad from Montreal but came up wayyyyyy short. First and only time well be going there.

Would have given it a better rating, since the food is delicious, but I found a chicken bone in my salad and almost swallowed it!
