"Wonderful Veggie Cafe"
Tamara
August 2010 — "The cafe nicely decorated, cozy with a cute patio. It is a buffet style cafe, with a wonderful selection of vegan food. The staff and service is quick and very friendly. You buy by the weight of your total selection. The food is flavorful and fresh, few examples are breads, drinks, desserts, different sauces, salads and the dinner menu. The price is adequate to the amount and quality of food. This place can be enjoyed by vegans and non vegans, alike. Highly recommend!"

"Veggie buffet is pure bliss!"
Melissa
February 2010 — "I have to admit, I thought it would be a lot easier to find good vegetarian food on the BC coast. Lucky for me, there is Green Cuisine, which is some of the best veggie food I've had!
Interestingly, it is all done buffet-style by weight. There are always different items popping up, and I could eat here every day. The tempeh in tamarind sauce might be my favourite, but everything is really great. I love the simple way they prepare their kale. And if you do it right, you can really eat on the cheap. It's so easy to load up the plate, especially because I want to try everything, but I saw a guy getting soup and a bun for $3.
They also provide water, have excellent sushi, and have a few baked goods that you can purchase (not paid for by weight).
One of my new favourite places to eat, for sure!"

"Plenty of Healthy Eating!"
Sara
May 2009 — "Green Cuisine is located in Lower Johnson in Market Square. They specialize in vegetarian food and offer a buffet style type restaurant. The food is changes regularly and there's a lot of selection: burgers made of nuts/quinoa, potato wedges, steamed vegetables, stir fry, sushi, soups, different types of breads, samosas, casseroles, etc. Green Cuisine also has lots of deserts: cakes, brownies, cookies, mousses, sorbet, bars, etc. If you're looking for a healthy drink, they've got lots of variety here too.
A friend of mine and I went out for dinner one rainy day, and loaded up on some of these goodies. With some steamed veggies, a quinoa burger, and casserole the total came to just under $11. My friend's dish came to around the same price and both of us were very happy with the food. The setting of Green Cuisine is cafeteria style so if you're looking for ambiance, this is not the place. It's a great place if you're looking for a variety in healthy foods!"

"healthy wholesome options"Robin
August 2008 — "An all- vegetarian restaurant. This is a great place for healthy and good tasting meals. The food is served buffet style, yet it is pay-by-weight. It's $2.19/ 100g. You can create your own salads using greens, a variety of veggies, dressings and toppings. There are plenty of warm dishes to choose from, which change daily. Some include: lasagna, moosaka, phad thai, falafels. There are two types of soups each day and always warm brown rice. This is a great place for people with specialty diets. Each dish is made with simple, natural ingredients and they are listed above each dish. There is also a wide selection of desserts and sweet treats. Some are made with alternative flours, like spelt, kamut, or rice flour. Some are made with alternative sweeteners or none at all. There is also a juice and smoothie menu. The food is simple and nourishing. There's usually something for everyone. Be mindful of the denser items, as these will cost you more. Bowls of soup, or rice, or homemade french fries are a set price and can be a great way to keep the cost down. "

"a very healthy meal"
Beth
March 2008 — "Green Cuisine is a personal favourite of mine in Victoria, and I think it’s a creative style of restaurant. All the food is laid out in a buffet style, you help yourself, and the food is sold by weight. I was nervous the first time I went, as I heaped up my plate, not really knowing how much my plate would come to when I got to the till. But I have found the prices are quite reasonable, and the soups are sold at a set price so you can really fill your bowl. I have had their lentil soup which I would definitely have again, and a coconut curry tofu that is mild and so very tasty, especially on top of brown rice. They also have a variety of steamed veggies to choose from, which are always steamed to perfection. Everything they serve is very healthy and 100% vegan. And after having a healthy lunch or dinner I recommend trying at least one of their many desserts, the carob cluster is one of my faves. I think its little hard to find if you're new to town, but if you're out doing some shopping in Chinatown or on Johnston St, its worth having a look for Green cuisine."
