Green Rebel in Ottawa

Get better hours to be a proper downtown business

Great options for healthy gluten free lunch options. Super friendly staff. Dietary restrictions: Several gluten free options and the staff were knowledgeable and accomodating to make small substitutions to expand the gluten free options. Food : 5/5 |

Very tasty smoothie and super friendly and kind staff.

I always get the Saigon sandwich. There was an issue with an order once (some missing ingredients) but management was quick to fix the mistake.

Such a great location! Friendly staff and amazing food!

Amazing service and delicious smoothies! Very fresh ingredients and a lot of care put into making their menu options. Will be back soon!

Everyone working at Green Rebel is great, and the food is really good

Great food, terrible service. Very slow, even when its not busy.

the butternut squash soup is to DIE FOR ho my goodness. Only reason i ll ever go back to garbage city that is Ottawa

So I went to Green Rebel to ensure I had a healthy lunch. After a thorough review of the menu I ordered one of their salads. Well, I was quite disappointed. I ended up spending $18+ for almost a bowl (and not a full bowl) of romaine lettuce with what appeared to be boiled chicken (in a scant amount) along with two pieces (maybe three) of brocolli and a smattering of regular peanuts. I wont go back. I was quite disappointed.

This place appears to be closed as of 2/27/23.

Still as good as ever!

This was my first experience at Green Rebel. I arrived shortly after 1130am to order lunch. I read the displayed menu board which listed menu items and ingredients. After ordering and paying, I proceeded down the line to wait for the employee to make my bang bang budda bowl . When she gave it too me I opened it and noticed several items listed as ingredients were missing? When I complained I found out they didn t have them? My only alternative was to substitute items. I m not sure why they would sell an item, list it s ingredients but then not have them or have the courtesy to inform the customer prior to purchase instead of just not saying anything and hope that the customer doesn t notice. They left out: pickled onions, crispy shallots, aioli sauce.

The salads are the best!! fresh ingredients, so many options, and such good value.

Went here because the mad radish was too busy. It was meh. The staff looked super bored and barely put any ingredients on my sandwich. The bun was hardly toasted. Also they don t take cash which is super disappointing. I believe the mad radish doesn t either what s with this world?

Discovered mold on food while eating.

Its been awhile since I last grabbed lunch at Green Rebel,. I was reminded today about how great the food is. Very fresh. Very tasty. Some really nice options for salads, but also for protein. I feel pleasantly satiated and recharged. Some meals can leave you with a feeling of faire dodo. Im glad to say that after my Bombay Lentil Bowl, my thinking cap is still on for the remainder of the day! Thanks, Green Rebel!

over priced, just a rip off of freshii. Canadians want something new not another Starbucks looking money grab.

Taco salad - lettus was cut way to big. Containers are very cheap....

Highly recommended for event catering! My organization asked Green Rebel to cater our conference and they did a spectacular job. Quick and friendly communication throughout, drop-offs and pick-ups were always on time, and our delegates LOVED the food. They were able to manage multiple food allergies safely as well.

I am so disappointed in Green Rebel. I have been waiting for this location to reopen, and really wanted to try it out, as I live very close. Being vegan I ordered a tofu bowl, they were out.. no worries I ordered a vegan Ceasar. They were also out of smoothies, but had a really small selection of pop and water and juice in a cooler which I accepted. At this point I was just excited to try anything. It came to the point of payment, the final blow.. They dont accept cash. I work in the service industry, and pay for meals and coffee with cash. I think a business that postures itself as being rebelious wouldnt be on their knees for big banks. Why should I pay my bank a fee because you decide not to take cash. This trend needs to stop, you are marginalizing people that do not want to pay with cards, and its really gross. I really, really wanted to love this place, but I ended up going to the competition literally down the hall, and had a great vegan meal paid fully in cash, including tip.

The food is great and I love that the containers are compostable.

One of my favourite lunch spots in the city! The food is always great and the service is very fast and friendly.

The tofu sandwich is so good! The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Bad, arrogant customer service. Each time. $15 for a salad that contains mostly wet lettuce, 1 spoon of rice and 3 bites of chicken. I really dont understand the high rating of this place. Its a mystery.

A great quick stop for lunch.

Tasty, and fast!

Im an addict. I only discovered this place last week. The food is so good and filling. Ive had the strawberry goat cheese salad, the Vietnamese bowl, avocado blueberry smoothie. I have nothing negative to say. All I can say is I cant wait to try something else.

Does the job if you re hungry and want something quick. I ordered the flafel bowl, everything in the bowl was good except the flafel I feel like it could be presented better by at least mixing the ingredient. Parts of the bowl were very dry with the spinach and sunflower seeds let along the dry stale flafel that was heated in the oven. It did feel and look healthy, i d rather do Freshi tho instead of given the option.

I showed up with 1 min to closing, and the staff were super friendly and made me an UNREAL Rebel Chicken sandwich! What is that bread??? Wow

No enough chicken in the chicken salad

Great place for a healthy lunch under $15!

Not the cheapest option, but their sandwiches are DELICIOUS, and as for many things you get what you pay for :)

I got a chicken sandwich, top quality will definitely come back for the same!!

This was my first Green Rebel experience, and I have to say that it wasnt that great... Like others have said, they were out of one of the ingredients for my bowl, but they also forgot to put all the toppings on it. I had to go back twice (no joke!) to ask them to put on two different toppings that they had just not bothered to put on my Falafel Bowl, even though these ingredients are clearly listed on the menu board. For almost $15 for a salad, I expect all the ingredients to be in the bowl and not to have to stand there and cross-check the contents of my food with the ingredients listed on the menu. Or at least a decent apology... The food was good, and I appreciate that you can reduce your waste by ordering your food to eat in, but the service culture definitely needs improvement.

The Taco Salad is excellent and the portions are quite large for the asking price

Delicious and generous sized salads ect. Friendly and helpful staff. Thumbs up!

Went to the Queen St. location. 1st time trying Green Rebel and it was well worth it. The rebel chicken sandwich was amazing ; the chicken has a nice seasoning on it (almost like a mild curry) and tasted like food should. The quality of the food is high, its healthy, and the prices are fair. The staff are nice as well. Not stingy with toppings as some restaurants are. Overall, pleasantly surprised and will most definitely be back soon.

I really want to like this place... it offers good quality food ingredients but the prices are very expensive and they are a little cheap with their portions and item substitutions. Also, my four previous visits, theyve gotten my order wrong and forgotten items Ive paid for.

Amazing food and totally eco friendly.

I didnt realize they are open for breakfast. I just had a nice breakfast sandwich with fresh avocado. The price was the same as the less healthy breakfast sandwich I normally eat every Friday. See you soon!

Food and service Always wonderful

The sandwich was great. Dont go during rush hour (12-12:30)

Fairly expensive but delicious and filling! Staff were very friendly.

Soups, sandwiches and salads SO GOOD!

I love green rebel salads but this location seems to be always out of ingredients for specific salads on their menu. You can substitute for other items but if you dont want that option they still change full price. They also dont post calories for each salad which would be a good option to have.

Well let me start by saying I used to be a huge fan of Green Rebel (Queen Street location) but since moving to the other end of the downtown core and going to the Kent Street location, I have less than favourable things to say about it. It is lacking in customer service (the woman who makes the salads over the lunch hour might want to at least try cracking a smile once in a while). Not to mention, what happened to the quality? $13.50 for a feta chicken salad that contained lettuce pieces that were mushy and black (couldnt be more of a turnoff), stems from romaine that have turned brown on the ends, barely a scoop of feta and when I asked if I could have extra dressing, she gave the salad the regular one second squirt and dared me to complain with her ungracious stare. Last trip to this location. Ive given it four tries and each time it was the same outcome. I have decided to post this because it is obviously not a by chance occurrence.

Veggie and egg breakfast sandwich is BOMB!!!

Went in this morning to get a sandwich, I asked for flat bread and no cheese in order to make it a vegan sandwich, took it to go and left the store, got back to my office which is not downtown, only to see they used the ciabatta bread along with the cheese. There are literally no restaurants where I work which is why I got food downtown while there on an errand. Super disappointing, will not be going back there again.

Delicious lunch spot. Not cheap but great quality food

My go to is the greenest rebel so good

I had a delicious vegan chili box for lunch. It was warm and hearty, filling and had the right balance of flavors and textures. The only suggested improvement could be to chop the kale into smaller, more consistent sizes. There were a few pieces of kale that were so long I couldnt fit them into my mouth. Prices are reasonable and service was very friendly. I will be back.

Expensive. They are not generous considering what you pay for a salad. It was good, it was healthy, and it was 14$.. ouch.

50g of chicken, 1/8 cup of rice, a small handful of spinach, some veggies and a watery dressing for $11.50

Every time I go I get exactly what I order in a timely fashion. Restaurant is clean, but the amount of space to sit is limited

Amazing sandwhiches! Always a long line for their salads, so I assume those are just as tasty and fresh. Staff are super friendly.

yeah not bad. I do prefer Freshi a bit more.

First time going, had the rebel chicken sandwich, and it was pretty good.

Good place for a salad. They are pretty good.

Their salads are delicious, but grossly overpriced for what you receive. The staff is amazing, though - very kind people. Unfortunately, I wont be going back unless Im out of options and starving!

The food is yummy but can be a bit pricey for lunch. The staff are really great and fast. The only issue I had was that the plastic fork broke into little pieces in my mouth. That is the first time that has ever happened to me, it was not pleasant.

Great concept. Chaotic, unorganized and frantic would best describe staff. But they keep their politeness and positivity. Has potential.

expensive

Tad expensive considering its more of a cafeteria type of place but it makes up for taste and quality of ingredients.

Awesome salads !! So fresh!

A bit pricey but the Rebel Chicken sammy is quite good.

The salads are delicious! lots of variety in options and the prices are good! Downside is they often run out of specific ingredients, which they will substitute for something you want, but still a little annoying, as well as if you show up within 45 minutes of close they have already put away everything to make salads and can only make you a sandwich!

Amazing place to get a fast, delicious and healthy meal! Their salads are fully customizable, their staff are friendly and professional! Definitely a winner!
