80 Prom. du Portage, Gatineau, QC J8X 2K1, Canada
Botanical bistro offering a plant-based menu with a wide variety of gluten-free options, craft cocktails, natural wines and microbrews. From brunch, to late night snacks, our seasonal farm to table menu offers comfort at it's finest.
The food here was great and the place was nicely designed. The vegan inspired options tasted great and the waiteress was nice. The tacos were great as well as the burger.
Lovely vegan restaurant. Very well designed and clean. Friendly service. All the food we ordered was delicious, including items from the bakery. The only negative was the bathrooms. The male bathroom downstairs had both stalls out of order and there was water all over the ground.
We walked in on a whim after having a bad experience at a nearby red moon restaurant. We were greeted by friendly staff and given exceptional service! The food was simply delicious and the waffle was one of the best breakfasts I've had in recent memory. Great decor and ambiance lens itself to a modern experience that made us feel comfortable and welcome. We will be back and bring others! Merci!
Perfect, delicious and one the most amazing vegan experience to be had in Gatineau. Would highly recommend this wonderful eatery to anyone looking for divine vegan fine dining. House Cocktails are a must try and patio seating is lovely for a good day. Coffee is out of the world too.
Probably worth 3.5/5. Staff was nice and nice patio but food is overpriced. $110 for kimchi fries + 2 dishes + 2 coffees.. - kimchi fries - $19 - reasonable price compared to the rest. Main problem is that kimchi is average. Taste more like sauerkraut than kimchi. - "clam" risotto - $31 - too expensive for qty and the 5 pieces of mushroom that look like clams. I understand vegans might be impressed but not worth the price - red gnocchi - $31 - also overpriced and spicy. I like spicy food but not kids & wife or not as spicy as this dish is.. Staff was nice overall, just a bit posh & overpriced compared to qty/quality..
Creative and well executed vegan cuisine in a modern and inspiring setting. We had the maracuja entrée which we share and was everyone's delight. Not only was it well presented, but it was well balanced and not overly sweet. We also had the Cheeseburger with fries and the Pad Thai. We would have loved that the Cheeseburger was made with the house burger instead of Beyond Burger or a commercial brand. The fries were really really good. The Pad Thai was delicious but we thought for a vegan restaurant, it did not have as many veggies in it, however the Souffleed Tofu was really good.
The place was really beautiful, with an astonishing service. The servers were really kind and they were really attentive. I just wished the food was better. I ordered the Seoul Noodles which tasted like they hadn’t been properly refrigerated as they tasted old and they had a fridge flavour. As per the tiramisu, it was flavourless and too dry. I appreciate that it was gluten free, but they could’ve improved it way better for the price.
On the more expensive side, but they are most definitely serving elevated vegan dishes well worth the price. Very original options, both for breakfast/brunch and lunch/dinner. The list of cocktails is as creative as the food. And all very tasty. We were a group for lunch in which most were not vegans or necessarily fans of vegan cuisine, and everyone loved their food. The restaurant is fairly big, so there are a lot of seating options, including an outdoor terrace. Personally, though, I did not find the decor as elevated as the food. For the quality of food and drinks they offer, I would prefer something as little more sophisticated. Friendly and accommodating staff. But, highly recommended.
Omg their french onion soup macncheese is the best one EVERRRR !!!! Really good food, pretty place, all vegan, love it:) Dietary restrictions: All vegan
The food and mocktails are excellent! Every dish I ate was delicious, full of sophisticated flavors and original. The only reason I took away one star is because it is cold in the restaurant in winter.
So delicious! For someone who cant eat gluten/soy/nuts/milk/egg I didnt think I would be able to find a restaurant....what a great find and great service too. I had the steak and fries and I recommend it 100% Dietary restrictions: gluten/soy/nuts/milk/egg
Outstanding! Great service, delicious food. They make very creative and scrumptious vegan dishes. Great for anyone who wants something yummy. Period.
No-compromise gluten & dairy-free pastries and desserts that are delicious, unique, and somehow have perfect texture. They have a genuine enthusiasm about changing peoples perception of what is possible. Worth a visit even if you dont have dietary restriction.
Excellent food!
fantastic!!!
Everything was perfect Vegetarian options: Great choices and lots of options. The mac & cheese is very tasty.
Excellent food in a setting that takes us out of our daily lives. We eat well and we know it s good for the planet! Easy to get there by bus, too.
Food seems ok but overpriced.
Brunch was awesome. All vegan and cruelty free.
We discovered this restaurant by chance and it was a great discovery! The food is excellent and very tasty! The only slightly unpleasant point, we were sitting in the solarium near the window and we were freezing!! I had to put my coat back on. The service wasnt up to par with the food, but maybe we were unlucky.
Lovely, pleasant welcome. calm.
The 2 girls who work at reception have really poor service unfortunately 8:00 p.m. December 6
A beautiful experience with beautiful food and cocktails. Service was lovely, as they got me the sexy table I requested!!! Thank you to all for a great evening Vegetarian options: The whole menu is vegan and has all your traditional favorites if you are not vegan. Risotto, burgers and apps would satisfy anyone regardless of diet. Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian, gluten and dairy Parking: I parked a block away for free.
This is our absolute favourite vegan restaurant! On this occasion we had brunch and the food was amazing, as usual. On the way out we always visit the bakery which is attached to the restaurant. So may amazing creations. Highly recommend!!!
Great food and service. Very nice ambience.
This place is amazing. The vegan steak frites is one of my favorite vegan dishes ever. Worth the cost.
The food was delicious. The Steak Frite Lions Mane mushroom was exceptional highly recommend you try Astoria. Don t be afraid to try a vegetarian restaurant. You ll be pleasantly surprised Parking: Paid parking lot right next door. It s one of those pay by QR code systems. There is a machine but it wasn t working the time we went
A real gem!
Very nice place. The map is incredible. The dishes are very well presented visually too. Nice place. (Only problem, a little expensive...)
Astoria chose to have a costume event for Halloween with a few new options on the menu and then some treats (shooter or candy or popcorn). The customers were in costume, the food as delicious and so well presented as ever. A restaurant that I recommend at all times. Vegetarian options: Astoria offers a completely vegan menu with gluten-free, nut-free and/or soy-free options.
A beautiful restaurant with a carefully crafted seasonal menu. This is a great place for meeting friends, taking family, and celebrating any kind of occasion. I look forward to trying more of their menu!
It has a beautiful ambiance, wonderful service, and its consistently delicious for brunch or dinner. One of our favourite spots!
We ve tried this place before for lunch and it was very good. We decided to give it a try for Brunch and it was a big fail. The coffee is undrinkable and very watered down. I find it ironic that a vegan restaurant charges extra for oat milk in your drip coffee! The tea is a cheap Twinnings tea, served in an ugly and flimsy diner style teapot Common!! I d expect a lot more finesse from an upscale restaurant. The brunch choices are challenging because most meals come with home fries or poutine style side - our server couldn t suggest any substitutions. Not many healthy options. The server was also dismissive about our concerns and rolled her eyes a few times. We will not be back and cannot recommend this place.
Absolutely loved the whole experience. I had amazing company, and you guys did not let us down in any way. Thank you
That was the best meal I ve had in a restaurant in years! The food is incredible. There were so many parts that there s no way I could ever eat this at home. The food felt healthy and fresh despite being very big portions and filling - but I only felt good. There were so many options of classics and some fresh takes on classics. The drinks were good. Staff was attentive but not intrusive. Atmosphere was very nice, light, not too loud, we could converse. Room was a good temperature. Everything was perfect. The price was good and appropriate. We took pastries to go that were incredible the next day. I can only rave about my experience. Thank you!
First time eating at an all vegan restaurant and have to say it was a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious, service great and atmosphere dark but cozy. Celebrated our daughters graduation for her MBA , Carleton university! She is vegan. Dietary restrictions: Celiac and dairy allergies Parking: Parked in a paid parking spot as there didnt seem to be frontage parking
Wow I can t wait to come back to try something else! The portion sizes are perfect, the food is delicious, and the service is excellent. We learned this cute place started as a Pinterest board that became a reality. Even meat eaters would be impressed where else can you get vegan brunch 7 days/week? Dietary restrictions: Everything Vegan/Plant based
Spectacular dinner - had the weekly sushi special which was out of this world good! My husband had the green curry equally as yummy. Food presentation was amazing, great service too!
Waitresses were very nice and kept refilling water which was nice. The decor beautiful. My daughter Loved her birthday there since they had many options for her and her friends. The food was different than Im used to but was good as we try to try new things all the time.
We ordered the Sugar Shack Brunch plate, which was ok, but nothing extraordinary, and the English muffing with poached egg and smoked salmon. That was amazing! We also had a London fog with lavender sirup which was fantastic!
Lovely vegan dinner! Very satisfying! Amazing cocktail!!
Atmosphere was great but food portion/quality to the cost was disappointing. The seoul noodles had way too much sauce and not enough noodles (tasted like ketchup), plus $32 for two dry bao buns and french fries was way overpriced. Felt like we paid restaurant prices for fast food. Vegans might have better luck going to a higher end restaurant and choosing the vegetarian option.
Great food but depressing servers. Mainly students who are burnt out. Never again
Astoria Bistro is a gem in Gatineau with delicious plant-based food to satisfy all tastes. Great service too! Vegetarian options: I had a plant based Pad Thai and it was delicious.
Succulent steak frittes
So few vegan restaurants in Ottawa we went to Gatineau. Green tofu curry was great only issue was they only had 5 small pieces of battered tofu on the plate. Need to be a bit more generous with the tofu.
My favorite of the year. The cuisine is creative and refined, the service impeccable. We tried it the first night and went back the next day to try other dishes. We look forward to our next visit to Gatineau.
Great Ambience and amazing food. Definitely one of the best vegan spots to check out.
Fantastic place for brunch lunch and dinner. Not to mention some really great cocktails!
Amazing food, amazing to see the attention to detail!
Les plats d Action de Grâce étaient excellents, en particulier les choux de Bruxelles, qui ont été mon coup de c ur. Mais j ai beaucoup aimé aussi le seitan et son accompagnement de champignons, ainsi que la soupe. J ai apprécié les foyers au gaz dans la salle en arrière. Ça ajoute une touche confortable et de la chaleur. Belle initiative!
Great experience overall! The appetizers (dumplings and risotto balls), dinner (pad thai and gnocchi), dessert (lemon meringue tart and cookie skillet) and mocktails were all delicious. The service was great. Im vegan, but my husband is not and he enjoyed it all. The only issue is that there was no lighting where we were seated, so it was difficult to read the menus. We had the option to move and staff turned up the lights at the bar to help. Vegetarian options: Its all vegan (plant based) food! Dietary restrictions: Amazing, all the food is vegan and labelled as soy free, nut free, gluten free as applicable so it makes it easy to choose foods that are appropriate for you. Kid-friendliness: There were kids eating while we were there, and there are options like mac and cheese that are kid friendly.
Had the pad thai and burger, both very good. Raspberry cake was beautiful to look at but maybe not worth the price we paid. Overall, nice place, but a little expensive. Food
Great experience for our first time at Astoria. Very interesting and tasty food. Very pleasant staff and atmosphere. Room tastefully decorated, comfortable and perfect temperature. Food : 5/5
Great options for a Thanksgivings dinner Vegetarian options: Tasty food and great presentation Food : 5/5 |
Ive been here so many times and am always happy to return. Vegetarian options: This restaurant is fully vegan. Dietary restrictions: This restaurant is fully vegan. Some gluten-free options are available.
I just stopped by the little bakery inside the Astoria and enjoyed my experience so much that I had to head straight here to give my review. I had their special of the month: Iced blueberry chai and a pistachio croissant. It was incredible! The service was also very fast and courteous!
WoW but what a culinary experience! The chef knows how to perfectly blend flavors to offer us the most succulent meals. We browse vegan restaurants and this is by far our favorite! Bravo to the chef who has the art and skill to balance the flavors well. I highly recommend this restaurant! A diamond to discover. (Very nice restaurant too and excellent service) We will definitely be back soon. Vegetarian options: Totally vegetarian! Wow I love it!!
I ve eaten here twice and it is so good. They use excellent fresh ingredients and go above and beyond. I ve been cooking vegetarian for many years now and know good food. This place is awesome!
A little noisy. Good food and beer specials if you go early enough in the evenings. Dietary restrictions: Vegan restaurant. Wheelchair accessibility: No steps into restaurant
The atmosphere is warm and the decor is magnificent with the multitude of plants which brighten up the place. The service is excellent and the staff are smiling and welcoming. The dishes are delicious, both lunch and dinner. For non-vegetarians, these are equally interesting dishes since the tastes of animal proteins are reproduced. In short, it is a reference in Outaouais when it comes to vegan restaurants. Vegetarian options: This is a breakfast, lunch and dinner restaurant offering only vegan options, therefore ideal for vegetarians and vegans. Dietary restrictions: The menu offers a few gluten-free, soy-free and nut-free options.
The first time I went I ate something small and felt bad the rest of the day, I though it was me, because all was clean and good. The second time I arrived, I was asked if I was going to eat there or to go, I said no sure, please make it to go but I will eat some here and if there is too much I will take home. After paying 34 cad I started to eat, then another person came to tell me I was not allowed to eat there, I told her I just bought this food, but she says I am not allowed, so as she insisted, despite the restaurant was basically empty and I had explained my intention at the beggining, I could not finished my lunch.
One of, if not the best plant based offering in Gatineau/Ottawa. Varied dinner menu with good cocktails(very important), best brunch options, and the coffee is really good(I had a cortado and a cappuccino and I swear it was some of the best coffee I ve had).The room between the main resto/bar area and the patio is my favorite spot.
We ate really well! Delicious And the service was impeccable (thanks to Alicia)
Very delicious
Ive been here twice. Food was good both times. It is a unique spot for Ottawa-Gatineau. It can be hard to choose what to eat with such a large menu.
Super accommodating in a last minute change.
Ive eaten here three times and its always been excellent! The food is delicious not just for vegans. However, my Asian dining companions were disturbed that my Seoul noodles came with the chopsticks sticking up in the bowl. This is apparently quite impolite and bad luck and means that a death is close by. Just thought you should know.
Staff are great, food is always delicious. Great options for people gluten free
The food is delicious, I had the sugar shack dish and it is perfect! I would return every day!!
I liked the food, however, I think there should be more details about what is used in the dishes. I had the spicy salmon poke tacos, and I dont know what sauce, or ingredients were in it. it makes it hard to know what to order, and also to track nutrition.
Delicious but tiny portions and super expensive $$$
Definitely my favorite restaurant in the city! The food is so so tasty You wouldnt even know its gluten-free and dairy-free! The service is always impeccable, kind, professional and the atmosphere is tasteful, funky and elegant. They also have a fantastic patio with a lovely view of the city! For brunch, I would recommend the chicken and waffles ... For dinner the risotto. And they have some delightful cocktails, including the cardamom one! Highly recommend the whole experience!
Really good matcha flavoured drinks and gnocchi was fantastic
This was my first time at Astoria and Ill definitely be back! Had the Salmon for brunch - so delish. The restaurant itself is really beautiful and service was great.
Absolutely fantastic. The extensive and individually delicious options, to the fantastic cocktails make this well worth a stop in any day.
Very nice experience. I had the all-dressed breakfast poutine with extra sauce, delicious. My girlfriend had the Benny florentine, she liked it. We were served by Sarah. We will come back if we are in the area.
Great for drinks Food : 3/5
Great spot with excellent staff and a good vibe. The mock-chicken caesar salad was lovely.For the price, I would have liked to see a house-made vegan protein, but it looked like store-bought breaded veggie chicken strips. The flavours in the tiramisu were delicious the cream filling especially. However, the almond lady finger layer was a bit hard and dry. I recommend visiting Astoria. Wheelchair accessibility: Main floor-main dining area is wheelchair accessible, bathrooms are in the basement and there are a couple steps up to the back seating and the patio
The fried chicken really tasted like fried chicken. The demi-glace sauce was delicious! Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan. Parking: Large paid parking lot right next door
I sadly have to change my 5 star review of Astoria. As a celiac, I loved Astoria as they offer a variety of gluten free options! I however recently had a pretty horrible experience where I got glutened from their food. They recently changed their menu and I m not sure if there was some type of miscommunication in the kitchen. I had ordered the taco salad and fries via Uber eats (which I ve done multiple times before and never had a problem!) and got very very sick. The fries seemed to have changed on their menu, however the week prior I called the restaurant to ensure that with the changes they were still gluten free and I was assured they were and were not in a shared fryer. I ordered them as usual and had no problem. I m not sure if anything changed in 1 week, however my order the following week definitely contained gluten. To note that on the uber app there is no gluten listed in the ingredients. I want to note that your experience may be different if you go to the restaurant and communicate with the staff. Prior to this, I never had a problem. It s a shame however if they are removing gluten free options from their menu I had contacted the restaurant to let them know about how sick their food made me, and left my contact info with them. I wasn t expecting any kind of compensation, however an apology from the management would have been greatly appreciated due to the severity of what happened. The lack of apology is probably the most disheartening part since they claim they take gluten free requests very seriously.
The food is scrumptious. We loved it. The staff are also nice.
Cute restaurant. Friendly/efficient service. Delicious food & cocktails. The arancini dish was the winner of the meal, but everything was fantastic.
Awesome spot for iced coffee or fresh juice.
I come here with my partner and we always love our food and drinks. I don t miss meat or dairy at all when I m here! Fun menu and decent prices for what it is
Update: they stopped selling their general tso poutine which was my absolute go-to. I asked why they stopped and no one had an answer. Since that dish was the main reason I kept going here Ive stopped completely. Lowered to 3 stars bc of lack of information. Delicious food - their general tso poutine is a must-try! Rating 4-stars as their site offers third-party delivery yet whenever I try to order for delivery its usually unavailable.
Great, thank you, we go back regularly now
The mocktails are really good and the tartare was our favorite dish
Visited for date with my wife it was very good experience. Servers were very good and the food was amazing. We had Gnocchi and maracuja tartare and dumpling all of them very tasty especially the maracuja tartare!! Must have!! Highly recommended.
Cute vegan restaurant in Gatineau. Decor is refreshing. My meal was very good, a bit too salty for my taste though.
Best vegan restaurant in the Gatineau/Ottawa area. Lion s mane steak was very meaty and savoury, bao buns were delicious, and Kimchi fries were some of the best I ve had from anywhere. The desserts were meh.
great place and lots of interesting desserts but the staff is not customer oriented. Damage(
The food was delicious, the waitress was helpful and positive, the interior and music pleasant, A/C working. the restaurant was open at 3pm on Sunday, which is an advantage at that part of Gatineau. Terrible odors were given off by both washrooms in the basement. So not an ideal place, yet decent to grab a bite.
I love going to this place to enjoy Happy Hour, I recommend the kimchi fries. Very good service from the staff, shout out to Claudia who served me during my last 2 visits.
Very nice experience. For the first time in years of trying: I enjoyed tofu. Fake chicken in a salad. It was delicious. On the other hand, to avoid: the Astoria salad, I really didnt like it but on their own initiative, the waitress offered me another meal salad at no cost. I really enjoyed it. I would return without hesitation. THANKS
Awesome restaurant. From choice of foods, to the tastes and service. Definitely recommend. Thanks Astoria Bistro Food : 5/5
Okay 10/10 everything. Food: amazing Staff: memorable Atmosphere: superb I went for supper - everything was delicious. Definitely going back to check out breakfast. Would highly recommend for meat eaters or vegans alike.
Kimchi Poutine is AMAZING!
Great bottomless mimosas. Flavia was a super nice server! I am not vegan but the food was great, compliments to the chef Vegetarian options: All vegetarian and vegan food Dietary restrictions: All vegan food Kid-friendliness: There were lots of kids around, good family friendly place
Perfect starred cuisine with very delicious dishes and a work of art in presentation, bravo. When you enter you dont expect to see the same thing. Hats off
Not sure why this has rating even above 4. Food was below par. Had the unfortunate experience of having breakfast and it was ordinary to say the least.
Food was extremely good; very flavourful and well-presented. A return visit for our vegan friends and a first for us non-vegans, but lots of tasty options to choose from. Vegetarian options: Fully vegan restaurant
Great place for some really good vegan food! Loved their cauliflower tacos when I first visited them, but they have changed the menu ever since! Got the bean burger and it was delicious! Food
The wait for our food was excessively long, Apparently the kitchen staff was new, causing delays. Food
This was our first visit and it wont be our last! We chose dishes from the well-stocked brunch menu: lemon-blueberry waffles, whipped cream and berry waffles, and sugar shack breakfast! All the dishes were very beautiful and succulent. Vegan waffles, pancakes and scrambled eggs with textures and taste to match the traditional versions! Vegetarian options: I believe the entire menu is vegan/vegan. Dietary restrictions: Several gluten-free and nut-free choices. Parking: Two paid parking lots nearby. Possibility of parking on the street but there seemed to be few spaces.
A very nice surprise for a great brunch in a nice place. To put it simply, Im not a vegetarian but believe me we left here happy. All the dishes were precise with great taste, whether hot drinks or savory and sweet dishes. Our 11 year old daughter also loved her brunch. I highly recommend it even for the most skeptical of carnivores like me. We will return
I am utterly dismayed by the appalling behavior I experienced at Astoria Bistro. After indulging in a $130 date night with my significant other, we were subjected to the audacity of one of their waitresses who felt entitled to give me a lecture on my supposedly inadequate tip. It is utterly unacceptable for paying customers to be subjected to such insolence. I am a patron, not a pupil in a manners class. My tipping decision is entirely at my discretion, and it is not the place of any employee to pass judgment on it. This establishment should focus on providing exceptional service rather than chastising customers for their tipping habits. Needless to say, we will not be returning to Astoria and have been spreading the word about our regrettable experience. As if the initial insult wasnt enough, Astoria Bistro had the audacity to compound their unprofessionalism by blocking my phone number after I attempted to call for a reservation. The call went straight to voicemail, but miraculously, it went through without issue when I tried with a different phone. This blatant attempt to evade accountability for their abhorrent behavior is utterly reprehensible. Its clear that Astoria Bistro has no regard for customer service or integrity. I implore anyone considering dining at this establishment to think twice and choose a venue that values their patrons dignity and respects their privacy. Astoria Bistros conduct is despicable, and they have lost any chance of receiving my business or recommendation in the future.
A real culinary favorite of our trip to Ottawa, so much so that this vegan restaurant was our canteen for 3 days! Warm welcome and such kind and pleasant staff... It warmed our hearts . Very pretty and well decorated setting. Good atmosphere. A menu extremely rich in gluten-free options, which makes it a paradise for people with intolerances and celiacs! Special mention for the super comforting brunch dishes like La Cabane à Sucre , the Benny Smoked Salmon or the Traditional Lunch . I also really enjoyed the Cari Paneng . We fell in love with the Latte Golden which is excellent, and finally... The lemon tart which was kindly recommended to me was absolutely divine . Really very fair prices. Thank you again for everything, we had a great time thanks to you ! Vegetarian options: Vegan Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Kid-friendliness: Yes
Very nice experience at Astoria, we had the breakfast poutine and the whipped waffle and it was decadent. Exceptional service and very pleasant atmosphere. We will return there often
I always enjoy my visits to Astoria. They are a great spot for brunch, or a nice dinner. The atmosphere is great and the cocktails are always enjoyable. I especially like the chicken and waffles for brunch.
Great food and service was really good. Melodie was a really friendly server. Great customer service and highly recommend this restaurant. Will be back if im back in the area
Took a bite before taking the pic as I couldnt help myself :) Got the Italian Benny as I get eggs benny for brunch anywhere. It was so filling and delicious!!!! The portions were good, and I was heartily full after brunch. Loved the presentation and the finishing touches. I would absolutely recommend and return everytime I go to Gatineau :) the service was quick and the servers were friendly. I adored the vibe and careful attention to detail in making the place such a cozy atmosphere - from the decor to the utensils (mini scalpels for knives lol!) and the furniture. I wish it were warmer so we couldve enjoyed the patio on a sunny day. Finally, I am thankful that they are so attentive to dietary restrictions such as gluten free options as my partner felt he could have the same high quality delicious meals without the anxiety of mixing allergens/contaminants. 100% recommend. Dietary restrictions: My partner is gluten free / dairy free and I loved the intentionality and attentiveness to these restrictions.
This restaurant is an absolute gem! Gorgeous interior, delicious food and reasonable prices. I especially recommend you visit during the 3-5pm happy hour. The Kimchi poutine is a must try. I also recommend the cocktails. They are unique and clearly made with care. I will be back Multiple times. Im specifically looking forward to spending time on the patio Vegetarian options: The whole menu is plant based! :) Dietary restrictions: Its easy to remove and substitute things as needed Wheelchair accessibility: Its at street level with no steps. The one thing to be aware of is the bathrooms ( at least the main ones) are located in the basement, down a flight of stairs.
The Thai Red Curry was simply out of the world! Breakfast is something that you should definitely try. Will keep coming!
Delicious Vegetarian options: Only vegetarian
Hidden vegan gem in Gatineau. One of my favourite restaurants. I absolutely love their buffalo mac n cheese. The aesthetic of the place is calming and beautiful. I love that they are attached to a vegan bakery, Pastel & Coco. Best combination for your next visit! Vegetarian options: Entirely vegan! Kid-friendliness: Family-friendly
Accustomed to Pastel and Coco, I decided to try the Astoria and was not disappointed, brunch formula, poutine with cashews, beyond meat sausage and pico de gallo and potatoes, guacamole: in short, a sweet delight . It was very filling, I couldnt finish it. The waffles were excellent and the crispy chicken /tofu is a promise to ourselves for a future visit. The service was very professional and cordial. The setting is beautiful. Glad to have tried, I will come back often.
Too notch. As an omnivore with a vegan partner, I felt right at home. I had their filet mignon (a Valentines special) which was really good.
One of the best vegan restaurants in Quebec It s worth the detour!
The food was very good and the service excellent. THANKS.
Came here for brunch. the staff was very kind and the food was really interesting. for sure the best place for people whole have food sensitivities or restrictions
The space has beautiful style and the Italian benny and chai latte were delicious!
great food, great music, great service! keep it up!
I was there this morning and had the chicken and waffles. They were delicious! Dietary restrictions: I am gluten intolerant.
The quality of food and service has gone down post pandemic which is not acceptable given the average cost of a meal there. I got served a warm beer because there wasnt any cold ones. Should never have left the bar, but come ask if Id like another brand that they had cold. Stupid that the owner is the same for both sides of Astoria and pastel et coco, but you cant order deserts or stuff from there from the Astoria side (not so bad when its open, but at night after its closed and you want a damn Twix it is). There also seems to have limited changes to the venue since theyve opened. With the high class vibe and price of the menu, youd expect more creativity and changes.
WOWW Amazing vegan good. We tried their Chipotle Burger, Bao and Arancini. All three dishes were delicious. For dessert we tried Tiramisu, which was great too.
Probably my top favorite restaurant in the Gatineau/Ottawa area. I highly recommend the scallop risotto.
I ve been to Astoria countless times, for special occasions or just because. The food is consistently delicious. The cocktails are fun and unique. The service is always friendly, efficient, and kind. The atmosphere is cosy and pleasant. Well worth the drive from Ottawa each time! I d recommend reservations, as they re always busy.
Great service and delicious food. I especially liked the pear cocktail, kimchi fries and cookie skillet. Staff were very accommodating.
Excellent vegan meal. THANKS
We had a great time. Fast service and delicious meal.
Nice restaurant with fresh food! It was pretty good for a vegan restaurant, seriously I highly recommend this place if you like discovering. I ate the fried chicken (tofu) and waffles, this was so delicious.
Very nice restaurant with unique and delicious dishes Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free option
My ubereats experience was 5/5, 100/100. SO INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS! I can only imagine how much better it is in person. By far the tastiest things ive had in the entire Gatineau area and im not even vegan.
Finally a restaurant where I can eat everything on the menu! I have several intolerances (including eggs and milk). I loved my evening, the atmosphere was nice and the food was very tasty. Thank you for the beautiful evening
Excellente dining experience. Food was great!
Can t say enough good things about this place, the food is so good that no one could ever complain that it s vegan. Highly recommend for those with dietary restrictions, they can cater to many diets. They have high chairs available and a clean bathroom.
We loved our experience. The food is great.
A nice Bistro at a nice location with a great ambience. I ordered skillet poutine and it tasted good.
Great food & service for a large group.
Are server was great and a very nice atmosphere.
The best vegan food around! We had a fabulous meal to celebrate and were thrilled with everything we ordered. Cant wait to go back!!
The best brunches in town!
Best vegan restaurant in Gatineau! Great variety, both for drinks and food. Special mention for the kimchi fries, a real treat! Paid and public parking nearby. Pleasant terrace in summer, very nice layout. Vegetarian options: Vegan restaurant
Food was yummy, I did find a hair in my food though they offered me a new plate which was nice, fair prices really nice ambiance to the place I really enjoyed it! Do recommend, very yummy vegan food :)
Possibly the best vegan restaurant Ive been to. And the kimchi fries were beyond this world, 10/10.
Really cute vibe, plants, modern..great for a girls brunch. I was a little underwhelmed with this chicken from the chicken and waffles ....looks more like chicken nuggets then typical chicken and waffles plates. The maple butter was delicious! Service was good but could have been a bit more attentive to refilling water/coffee. I would like to go back and try the appetizers or mains.
Astoria has a wonderful ambiance and an inclusive menu for all dietary restrictions. Our group went for brunch and were very impressed by the service, drinks, and decor.
Wow! Too delicious and great service. We will definitely return there with all our friends.
I got the pancakes and they were delicious! I also got almond latte and I was thoroughly impressed.
Dinner at this place was unexpectedly amazing. We had Chipotle burger, which was amazing, and potstickers. Very nice restaurant and would most definitely recommend.
Amazing food, elegant atmosphere and really friendly staff. I would be here every week if I lived closer!
Normally, the Astoria experience would earn at least 4 stars out of 5. This was my fifth visit. The others before have been wonderful, but this one was not pleasant at all. Our hostess didnt want to be there and it showed in her service. Blatant lack of professionalism. Music too loud (we could barely hear each other) and inadequate lighting (too dim, and not constant). The food was top notch as usual, but thats all for the positives. Left disappointed and with a headache.
Vegetarian options: Wonderful 100% Vegan restaurant! Recommended dishes
Their brunch is incredible. I recommend the Italian Benny. Great vegan resto with super cute decor.
Pretty good food. Very kind staff. Small portions for a not cheap price. Beautiful asthetic inside.
The chipotle burger here was delicious! If I had to complain about anything, its that the chairs could be better. Other than that, everything was great for my first time visiting this place today =) Food : 5/5
We came across this place by chance and will definitely be back! Very impressed with the flavours and textures of their vegan food and drink, and the service was lovely and quick.
Very tasty, great service. Vegan that rhymes with good taste.
This place has so many options, it really wasn t easy to choose. I m glad we went with the nachos as a starter, it was a big portion and absolutely delicious, they are hearty chips, loaded with veggies, guacamole, pulled pork and smothered in a delicious vegan cheese sauce. I also got the Fakon Cheeze Burger and my fiancé got the scallop Alfredo, no complaints. Great ambiance, friendly service and delicious food, we will definitely be back. EDIT: Went again, but this time for brunch. Pricy but delicious. Highly recommend the breakfast croissant sandwich and the Benedict.
A MUST TRY! This restaurant is a vegan heaven. Whether you are vegan or not -you will love the food! The customer service and decor are amazing. There is a wide selection of drinks and food. There is also a vegan bakery attached to the restaurant. What else could you ask for! You will not be disappointed, it is worth traveling too!
Nice place and kind service, I loved its coffees.
The most amazing food at this fully vegan restaurant! Staff are bilingual and the menu offers gluten free options. Room for large groups but great for a romantic meal for two as well. We ate there every day of our visit! Try the waffles & chickn, gnocchi, mac n cheese.
Fantastic place for a magnificent vego meal (:
Love the food here!!
Good tasting food. Great selection of beer.
Second time I go there at 9 PM, and they tell me they are closed. Meanwhile their website and google says that they are open until 11 PM This is extremely unprofessional and wasting people s time. Never coming again.
Great place. Great variety of options. Good drink selection. Lovely staff. Have yet to have anything but a good, tasty meal.
The restaurant is pretty and offers a varied menu that can easily please non-vegans. On the other hand, cocktails/mocktails and food are very expensive. Many dishes contain pre-made elements (fauxmage, meat beyond) which mean that the recipes are not very original. Overall, I found it good but very expensive for what it really is. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my evening, the portions were generous and the service was decent! Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan
Went for coffee and a snack. The coffee was good. The sandwiches were both cold on the inside but were tasty. Could have been better though.
Wonderful spot! The food is absolutely incredible and the staff are so considerate! This place cares about their customers. I really enjoyed the cashew hollandaise in the tofu benedict, but everything I tasted was top-notch! Vegetarian options: So many vegan and gluten-free options. Dietary restrictions: So many vegan and gluten-free options.
Great service from our bartender Julien! To do again
We visited for brunch and had a reservation. Good Stuff: - Atmosphere is very picturesque. Great lighting from the large windows, lovely plant decor, and the bar in the centre of the restaurant with all the drinks being prepared was cool to see - Drinks were tasty and very pretty. - The waffles and syrup were tasty (waffles and syrup only, not the chicken) Bad Stuff: - We waited over an hour for our food, there was no communication or apology for the long wait from staff. If there is going to be a long delay, we would have appreciated if this was communicated to us. - Service, while friendly, was very slow and inattentive leaving us feeling neglected. It was difficult to get their attention for basics, such as a water refill so we asked for a pitcher of water so we could do it ourselves, which we were not given. - The food was overall, not the best. The food was pretty but lacked flavor and care. Most of our dishes appeared to be left waiting under the heat lamp as the butter ball on the chicken and waffles had completely melted, sauces had congealed, decorative vegetables/flowers wilted and fried things such as the chicken and potatoes were stale. Flavors were very bland and lacking a much needed savoury flavor. Gravy had no flavor, but helped with the chicken and potatoes as they were stale/dry. All in all, great spot for drinks and pictures, but the food and service leaves a lot to desire.
Awesome place. Delicious vegan pastries and sandwiches. Lovely staff. Enjoyed my visit here immensely. Will be back everytime I visit Ottawa
Delicious vegan food and good wine. Kimchi fries were great and a huge portion. Red curry was super flavorful. Portions were really big and we left very full. Plan on returning again soon.
Amazing experience
Very cute restaurant, beautiful atmosphere and delicious dishes. I loved the kimchi fries.
Really impressed! Great service, the decor is beautiful and warm. Best waffle Ive had in a long time! And what can we say about the beauty of the plate? I added an extra sausage... super good! P.S.: Im not vegan ;)
